Males HATE That We Demand They Pay for Dates...But Also Hate Poor Single Mothers. Apparently, We’re Supposed to Guess Which Males Are the Broke Selfish Deadbeats or Something 🤔

Speaking as a (kinda) poor single mom, you wouldn’t believe how salty men—and even some women—are, when you do better.

I escaped an abusive marriage to a deadbeat asshole. I was doing all the parenting and working to provide for our son while he sat on his ass and refused to be involved in any way. I took my son and left after quietly getting my ducks in a row for two years.

A year later I met a wonderful man and I was smitten immediately. He’s intelligent, kind, loving, and just the best partner, as I’ve discovered more and more after my son and I moved in with him. The other day we were sleeping in (it was a Sunday morning) and my son came over from his room and climbed into our bed, where the three of us snuggled for a while. I was there with my little boy on my left and the love of my life on my right, and I began crying from sheer happiness. Never would I have dreamed my life would be so perfect.

But my ex and his cronies think I want my partner because he’s well off. They have made snarky comments to my son about how Mommy gets money from her boyfriend. In their tiny little minds they assume that I couldn’t possibly love this man with all my heart and soul, because they’re not capable of loving someone without trying to make use of them.

Men: "Women are so shallow and money hungry. Give poor guys a chance."

Women: gives him a chance, ends up pregnant, he leaves

Men: "Your fault. Should have picked better."

Women: "Okay so I'm only going to date men who are successful and show a willingness to provide."

Men: "How dare you? Gold digging b*tch."

So much truth. They despise women who lower their standards and procreate with deadbeats but hate when women set standards and refuse to settle. We are supposed to believe a man who won't invest in you early beyond sweet talk and promises will magically step to the plate with marriage and financial stability once an offspring is involved I guess. Ha!

Do. Not. Settle.

The way I see it - I raised two great kids that any man would be lucky to have as part of their family. Of course they are expensive, but I’ve never expected anyone but their father and I to support them. But as far I’m concerned? If a guy is too cheap to pay for me on dates, he can bugger off. If he’s lucky he will get a loving, interesting woman and two of the funniest people (my kids) they’d ever meet, but most of them are far too selfish these days to fathom even the slightest hiccup within their selfish little cocoon. Really makes me wonder what they actually do want. I don’t think the majority even know what they want. Also, they are kind of all the same whether they have money or are broke. It’s all about them. That’s all you need to know. Still holding out for a gentleman but the only ones I know are now over 55-60. Might be no hope at this point.
