You're also obsessed with TWO AND ONLY TWO criteria for a date-able man...dozens of nearly identical posts saying as much. Who are you trying to convince? Methinks your obsessive repetition is a means to help you overlook your BF's significant shortcomings and lack of a future for you both.
Of course I am judgmental about these types of men everyone should be. I have a future with my childless boyfriend but that is not your business and not related to this thread as he is too decent of a man to have gotten a woman pregnant without supporting her.

I wouldn't, even if I disliked children.

That is a person who abandoned an innocent when he has a responsibility to that child. I wouldn't trust him not to do the same to me. Which wouldn't matter, I have zero respect for people who do this.

I just want to point out that there are different types and levels of "abandonment." I think what we are really talking about are men who put their own wants and needs ahead of their children's, and this can take many forms--monetarily, emotionally and with regard to being generous with their time.

Many men justify this by making it about their ex instead of the children they share.

Knowingly abandoned his kid(s) and in no way supports them? No, I would not. I can't date someone I don't respect.

Not as bad as aborting their kid.

I know a mother who abandoned her 3 Children. I'm not sure if they were adopted out or went to other family members but it may have been a good thing as I think she went nuts.

Well, guess will give my same opinion on this thread as I did the adoption one, since they are so alike.
I would want to know why? Why was this child abandoned? Did you just have it, and leave it on a door step to a church? Did you take it the hospital? Did you throw him/her in the trash cans out back?
Maybe you just left her/him with your Mom to raise, so you could be free!
There are many reasons people feel the need to do this..some are understandable, and some are sick!
There are couples out there, that want nothing more than to get on with their lives with a baby or child to complete them. Infertility hurts so much!
Please consider adoption!

I'd never date a woman who ever had a kid, period. Ever. <puke />
