Do Men Actually Love Kids, Or Are They Only Using Fatherhood To Win Genetic Races?
Why is raising another man’s kids an embarrassment but having your own kids seen as a source of pride?
While I am in love with my childfree status, I still enjoy those precious moments when I have to pat myself on the back and give myself a, “Good job, bitch!” congratulations for not only dedicating decades to carefully weighing the pros and cons of being a parent, but also completely dodging the insidious, egotistical men who only want to use my womb to win genetic races against men who don’t even know they exist through children who function as manhood trophies not human beings.
Such is the case with a young man who commented under a post on Instagram where a childless woman declared it insane for any man to think he is going to get a chance with dating her if he has multiple kids.
Of course her conclusion is understandable. I have dated fathers in the past, and there were times when I felt more like a babysitter than a girlfriend. So setting a standard where you only want to date a man without kids or a father with a limit of one child makes sense. Some women wouldn’t even take a chance on a father regardless if he has one kid or multiple kids. And I respect that as well.
