We definitely believe you.

Totally. It's not like there are really handsome men out there.

Bitter much?

There are. They probably don't feel the need to randomly bring up how handsome they are on an anonymous message board, though.

Huh? This is the perfect time and place to bring it up. You don't risk looking like an asshat in front of RL people you know and the pointlessness of lying about it means anyone claiming it is likely telling the truth.

Or, are you one of those people that confuses your online persona with your actual life?

Or, do you think that only ugly people post on the Internet?

Cool story, you good looking bro.

Why?

Because men generally abandon their kids and only play Disney dad every other weekend.

No, women demand custody because they want cash and prizes, and the courts generally give it to them.

I am a mom and I don't get child support or anything else jerk. The kids are supposed to be 50/50, but the they never want to be with their dad (who has no girlfriend, while I actually have a boyfriend). It's really hard b/c I need to be respectful of my kids and want them home with me if that is their desire. However, it means that I don't see my boyfriend as much.

Courts don't automatically give moms more custody time any more. In fact the trend in most states is to give 50-50 custody, absent abuse or other circumstances.

New poster. Out of about 20 divorced mothers I know (and dads), only two really have true 50-50 custody. Even if 50-50 is awarded, most kids seem to end up with one main home, typically the mom's. I can think of one exception to this.

The trend/default in court is 50-50, but most people iron out their own divorce terms without a court. And most women I know get more custody than men. Also, as kids get older, they choose to make one house their primary home, and they do more visiting with the other parent than really living there.

I was awarded 2/3 custody by a judge, and somehow I've been able to date. It means the person I'm dating needs to be really flexible. So far, it's worked out great.

If I were your boyfriend, you wouldn't be seeing me at all.

The previous poster was making the point that courts are now inclined to give 50/50 custody in most cases. If people decide to do otherwise afterwards, they can.

Practically no one has 50-50 custody in reality. That's the point re: dating.

What's YOUR point, weirdo?

This is true almost to the point of making me uncomfortable. Ex and I broke up, and now the men I've known are all so friendly and glad I'm single. I like male attention, but knowing that they are likely just waiting to sleep with me when we hang out is a real turn off. I heard that's a difference between American and European women. That an American will hesitate to feel used, and. European will say "you think I'm hot, thank you, let's has fun."

Poor you, receiving sexual interest from men. YOU are the REAL victim.

Because if I am really a single man desiring a relationship, I'm not going to be spending time on a woman who can only give me 20 percent of her time. There are plenty of women out there who can give me 100 percent of their time.

15:31 - you sound codependent if you're expecting 100% of someone's time. And maybe a little pathetic.

Some people have busy jobs and hobbies and are ok with occupying less than 100% of another person's attention. I know quite a few guys who get excited when they meet a woman who isn't so clingy and understands when they have to work long hours or travel or go out with the guys.

As for the women wanting custody thing, a lot of us aren't sure how our co-parents will do when they're solo, based on what we've seen when they're with us. Parenting doesn't come naturally to everyone. It can be hard to let go of your kid if you're not sure what the outcome will be. My ex worked his way up to 3 nights a week with our daughter but it took him awhile to get comfortable with 1 day and then 2 before asking for 3. I never tried to limit him; less custody was his idea in the first place.

Assuming the guy is exaggerating about 100%, he's not codependent. He wants a relationship. If you want that, make time, make it happen. Yeah, kids are a priority, but a lot of us aren't looking to be penciled into your busy schedule only on alternate Saturday evenings.

Yes see this all the time. Men move on in a nano second to relationships that actually work with perfectly amenable young ladies and women don’t. Women have to settle for “nice” but commitment issues, etc. literally think my husband could snap his fingers and there would be a line out the door of lovely blondes waiting to date him. Of course i’d Have some options too, but not to the same extent. Women are way more understanding than men when it comes to “baggage “.
