Laura Csortan reveals ‘brutal’ experience dating younger men
The former Miss Universe Australia has opened up about what it’s really like navigating the dating world when you’re a parent.
One Sydney woman has opened up about the “brutal” nickname men had given her daughter “in jest” as she reveals what it is really like to date as a single mum.
Laura Csortan is a model, former Miss Universe Australia and TV host who gave birth to daughter Layla in 2016.
The 44-year-old has kept the identity of her daughter’s father private and said in 2017 he was “living overseas and does not wish to be dragged through the media”.
Speaking on news.com.au podcastKinda Sorta Dating, Csortan said she was “very particular” about who she dated as a mum.
“My time is super precious and having a little one, that’s very time-consuming, very demanding of my time and attention. I have to be selective as to who I spend that tiny little window of time I get with,” she said.
Csortan told the podcast’s host Jana Hocking that she had dated several younger men since becoming a mum, but found “ the cracks started to show several months in”.
“They have been up for it and they’ve been really excited in the beginning. My last relationship was with a younger guy,” she said.
“I find that cracks start to show with the younger ones look just from me having a child and the reality starts to kick in, reality bites, they back off.”
Csortan said that one man had “in jest” referred to her daughter as a SOCK, aka “some other c**t’s kid”.
“This is what guys who comes to a single parent’s party call them, apparently,” she said, with Hocking calling the nickname “brutal”.
But Csortan said her experiences hadn’t put her off dating as a mum, joking that she was keen to date a farmer.
“It could just be situational and the type of guys I’m meeting as opposed to say, a nice country boy,” she said.
