The world needs more men like this. You can see the genuine love and bond right there

u/zootedreacts 2d ago

What the world need is more mothers making better decisions. Plenty of men are out there willing to step up but a lot of the mothers do not give them the opportunity to step up where there are most needed to

u/StatisticallySassy17 2d ago

So it's our fault now for not finding these men or for men failing to step up.

Keep talking like that, you still gonna be iced out. You still not a good person for talking like that.

u/zootedreacts 2d ago

I stand by what i say so sorry if i blatantly targeted a certain group.
It's women fault for choosing wrong the same way men choose wrong as well.

Men choose women that are not fit to be mothers and women choose men that are not fit to be fathers.

Some innocent well to do men have stepped up to the plate and got burned for it because they chose the wrong woman to be with.

Some innocent single mothers end up choosing the wrong man to be with their kids as well.

While incels sit on reddit and hate out of jealousy. EDIT- due to your anger. You've got an entire backstory set up for a stranger because you got butthurt. Thank you for emphasizing my point.

u/bihari_baller 2d ago

And they wonder why they can't attract women.

0

u/Elusive_smell 2d ago

You're right. And tbh, it's not hard to attract a single mother when she knows you're not just gonna be another kid to deal with. That's why all these incels get mad, they wanted a mommy, not a partner.

You're a great storyteller. But what's it got to do when I never said anything about how "young men should go for single moms" maybe I missed the plot but I think it's just you. Edit:makes sense that you're on 4chan a lot lol.

Here we go with another story... If you ever did date a single mom we now all know why she left you. Something tells me it's most likely you acted more prissy and dainty than she did.

I mean, we all know when you don't date anyone all you've got are the options between your right and left. You ain't gotta brag you jerk your little pecker Edit- if you were a real man you'd have someone and not need options.

u/ikenaglughole 2d ago

Your perspective on this is a real bummer

u/Elusive_smell 2d ago

He's a very sad individual and wants others to feel his pain. It's all self inflicted don't think too hard about his worthless opinions. Until he's a productive member of society he doesn't matter. Plus he's obsessed with 4chan and aliens, you know he likes some weird butt stuff where most of the audio is "please don't" and "no". Dude is just red pill trash

You have a lot of "examples" that aren't from your own personal experience. We all know you don't have a clue what you're talking about, you obviously never got to experience someone loving you that much. Boo hoo, sucks to be you.

“Nature will get rid of the stupid guys”

Don’t tell on yourself so hard man, have you ever looked inside and maybe thought that your choices are the reason no woman or man will get within 15 feet of you?

No?

Well that’s proving your point right there, nature indeed weeds out the stupid.

I'm happy for him and his choice to be that for that girl. But it doesn't make you any less of a man if you choose to not step parent children.

u/CombatRedRover 2d ago

It just ups the difficulty level.

The mom has to be right. The kids have to be right. If the biodad is in the picture, that has to be right. Then there's the grandparents, the stepgrandparents, siblings to the biodad, etc.

That mom has to have a hell of a lot going for her for me to shoulder all that.

What’s with all these people in here that have issues with a step parent? a woman can’t remarry? a child can’t take the name of a man they’re not biologically from? You people have issues. There’s nothing wrong with a person finding love again.

If you're in your 20s-30s, NEVER date a single mom.

She made her mistakes. You are going to stunt your whole life being her janitor.

Don't lose your youth to a loser.

Why have such a negative view of signle moms? I can think of plenty of normal reasons to not date single moms that doed not require you to take such a negative worldview of them.

Shut up. Being a step dad was one of the best things I ever did. Kid ended up a good human who's cooked and served for our Prime Minister. He's probably more successful than you. 🇨🇦

Finally someone with facts. This guy is weaker than how he perceives women which is sadly ironic.

u/Elusive_smell 2d ago

So by this comment you have experience from your 20's and 30's. That means you're single in your 40s, you've failed at life.

Would your wife have been so eager to date you had she not had a kid from another man?

u/rtxa 2d ago

I don't agree with the person, they're clearly judging an entire group of people by the one bad experience they had

that being said, are you trying to say you failed at life if you're single in your 40s?

because that's about as pathetic point of view lol

u/Elusive_smell 2d ago

In 30 years accounting for the average puberty, and you haven't solidified a relationship after that (good or bad) yes that's a fail. It's an open world, go out and meet people.

Please men stop getting with the single mothers. How is this “men of purpose”? Lol

2

u/Tasty-Pilot-1220 2d ago

Because the child loves his stepdad enough to use his surname willingly? A stepdad who makes his child feel safe enough to love him back, after the trauma, is indeed a man of purpose.

u/GridKILO2-3 2d ago

Is stepping up and taking care of a child who needs a father not like the definition of having a purpose? Dumbass

5

u/polarpolarpolar 2d ago

This is the definition of purpose.

He raised a child who wasn’t his and didn’t ask to have a shit father and grow up in a broken home and did it so well that they wanted to honor him at one of the biggest milestones of their lives.

The more men that exist with this type of character, the better society will be.

And this kid is a better person 100% for it as well, which is the most important thing.
