Question Of The Month
"If I Ever Fall In Love"-Shai
Me and my homeboy were in Bennigans when he requested that I put this question on my blog. So here it is. I'd like to get some responses from anyone out there in "blog land" who actually reads what I write. Why is it whenever a woman sees a man with a child she is smitten by him, but whenever a man sees a woman with a child he avoids her? I'm just putting up the question and waiting for some good responses. The best response gets a shout out in the next blog.

I'm mad you be generalizing. Every woman does not want a built in family. But, to answer your question, I think girls sometimes forget that kids are work and that sometimes they do stupid stuff that makes you want to cuss them out. Guys, however, see a chick and they think about all of the drama that comes with the built-in family. They don't get blinded by the cute little clothes or the baby's smile. They see through all of that and choose to steer clear. With all of that being said though, you gotta give the single parents out there a chance. If not, who's going to love them?
My two cents.

I think it's about how the child got there... Something tells guys that the chick was either promiscuous or old dude forgot the rubber. Something tells the ladies that dude was a man about his sh*@ and took responsibility for his actions. That's why when I go to Detroit, I take my sister's kids to the mall. It's like renting a booty magnet. At the end of the day, I take the crumb snatchers back - just in time to see if the catch of the day was worth the spilled ice cream in my back seat...

Generally speaking, I think a lot of women inherently look for men who can be nurturing and take care of them. A man who is a single parent and takes care of his child is about as nurturing and able to take care of them on the surface as it gets.
For me personally, a woman with a kid probably has more baggage that I'm looking for. Of course, perhaps I'm not being fair but I don't have any kids of my own for a reason.
Ms. Talia makes a good point, as well. I am not looking for a built-in family!

Possibly, for some guys, it's an ego thing. He doesn't want to have to deal w/ the female going back to the "baby daddy." Guys, I think, think more simply than women and don't let their emotions guide them as often as women do. Some women probably think, "Awwww the kid is so cute." And because she sees the guy w/ the kid, she probably thinks, "Oh he's a good father. Look at him spending quality time w/ his child." Not speaking for all, just throwing out possibilities. Tis true what Talia said about females sometimes forgetting that kids are work. Good thought-provoking question...
