How is this acceptable?

This is a huge issue for people in the military. Unfortunately, women will sell these around bases, other women will buy them and the men will marry these women (for the benefits/extra pay) before the truth is found out, if the truth is found out. I often heard that my soldier's SO's would claim miscarriage. We always recommended that these guys have her take an unopened test.

It's not, to people with a conscience.

nicemod · 2014-12-18T23:59:29+00:00

Okay, let's take that flair seriously and reverse the genders on this one.

Men selling positive pregnancy tests so that another man can convince his girlfriend that he's pregnant.

How does that work, exactly?

webgirly · 2014-12-19T00:00:24+00:00

It's not, unless you're a douchebag. Also, it makes no sense, "your man" is going to notice if your pregnancy doesn't result in... any kind of actual pregnancy or, a baby. Is simultaneously despicable and (fortunately) moronic

reddedo · 2014-12-19T06:13:19+00:00

usually, the next step after a positive home test would be a blood test - much harder to fake that!

Hey, it's OK to be treated like a piece of shit, defrauded, even with the help of the government. It's simple: You're not human. You're male. Good luck!

smokeybehr · 2014-12-19T05:16:11+00:00

Do it like a random drug test. Get a fresh test from the pharmacy, make her piss on it while you watch, then take it from her and wait for it to develop.

If it's positive, congratulations on being a father. If it's negative, congratulations on being single again, because you'd better be kicking the bitch to the curb.

This gets posted weekly, I think we understand how outrageous it is but this image is over a year old.

SarcastiCock · 2014-12-18T23:57:58+00:00

It's not and it's been posted many times.

AliasSigma · 2014-12-19T02:34:41+00:00

Aren't false positives possible, but not false negatives?

I'd have them take another.

Electroverted · 2014-12-19T07:49:15+00:00

Because it's a men's issue, we won't see legislation that makes it illegal for a long time.

Tarquis94 · 2014-12-19T14:07:01+00:00

This is beyond disgusting! How do theese people think this is in any way acceptable?

And do they think that this is a recipe for a long healthy relationship?

whitey_sorkin · 2014-12-19T14:30:35+00:00

Your headline implies that society finds this acceptable, which is not true at all.

Ketsa · 2014-12-19T15:50:05+00:00

It fits the rules of capitalism, hence acceptable. Also : Never trust a woman.

US_Ranger · 2014-12-19T05:46:40+00:00

Self-fixing problem if it becomes big enough. You watch her take an unopened test in front of you. It's the same thing that happens during a piss test for drugs if it's a serious job. They'll watch your dick pee into a cup so you can't use a fake condom full of safe piss. This is the way of things.

Ransom_Stoddard · 2014-12-19T09:58:49+00:00

Cant afford Christmas gifts so the best thing to do, of course, is gestate a pay check that not only will pay off after the birth, but during the pregnancy as well.

Call_me_Kelly · 2014-12-19T12:53:25+00:00

Can this be reported to the police for attempted fraud?

Edit: or is there a health issue / law for selling items bodily fluids have been in contact with that they could prosecute for?

Edit 2: I found this http://www.kctv5.com/story/23327775/alarming-trend-positive-pregnancy-tests-being-sold-on-craigslist it basically says the only way to charge the seller is if they knew the purchased test was used in a fraud or blackmail.

goodeyesniper3221 · 2014-12-19T15:41:45+00:00

fuck that piece of shit. I hope her and whoever else has no integrity like her die in an oil fire.

AceGeister · 2014-12-19T16:00:48+00:00

You should have left her name unedited.

TytalusWarden · 2014-12-19T16:26:38+00:00

These aren't an issue at all.

I've noted every time these kinds of posts come up that all I have to do is say, "Cool, positive pregnancy test, let's head to the doctor and get another test, my dime."

Using one of these as proof of a pregnancy is like using MyFitnessPal to determine if you're a diabetic. It's completely asinine, would be my point. :)

Only fools will be so easily convinced an at-home pregnancy test means "time to get married", or even believes a single at-home pregnancy kit.

chlochlofoshosho · 2014-12-19T16:47:00+00:00

This should also be posted on /r/Trashy haha

Skywatermelon · 2014-12-19T20:50:24+00:00

That sounds like its definitely illegal ? I'm no lawyer but this sounds like fraud ? Can someone with a legal degree please step in here and reassure me ? Tricking someone in to thinking that you are going to have a baby in order to extort money out of them followed by not having a baby must have some jail time attached to it ?

H2owsome · 2014-12-18T23:59:48+00:00

Make that man yours forever

More like a few months at the most. Once he realizes you aren't showing, you're screwed

squizzage · 2014-12-23T02:11:44+00:00

It's yet another crappy post of R/funny.

bitches_be_crazy86 · 2014-12-19T06:28:28+00:00

Dudes seriously you can sense pregnancy even in the 3rd week. Very noticable increased body temperaure, tits feel differently and are swollen.

jeannaimard · 2014-12-19T01:47:45+00:00

Because vaginas rule the world, now.

goodboy · 2014-12-19T12:08:23+00:00

It's acceptable because Plan B One-step is sold over the counter and is easy to obtain. If a woman shows you a positive pregnancy test and you don't want to be a father, say "I'm so excited. I've always wanted to be a father. Let's go get coffee and talk about it." Then slip the Plan B One-step in her mug saying "Drink up, it's delicious." Repeat a few times and then move to another state without leaving a forwarding address.
