Those women feel the same about you
Win win.

And single moms do NOT want another father for their children, if you think that you've not actually gotten to know very many single mothers. The really responsible ones won't even bring you around their children until they are sure you are a committed, reliable, good person.

I don't care how they feel so it is a win for me and yes they just want a meal ticket. They can use another man but it won't be me.

A lot of single moms are doing for themselves without help from you or any other man, no child support, no public assistance, etc. Likely those women wouldn't be attracted to your apparent bitterness.

Sometimes I still sense the old stone age thinking in some posts, like, if a child does not have my genes, I don't want him or her, who am I to raise another man's children?

But I do agree regional differences must play a big part.

For example, I see being a sarcastic snark as a major personality flaw and a sign of a damaged person. My friends from the NYC area think it's hilarious. Culture.
I think DFW acts more like the South. On the West Coast, as I joked with one of my new mom friends (she is 40) all the parents in preschool are under 25 or over 40.

Possibly.

But bc I hang with and live with a more educated/wealthy populace, the parents are older.
And the marriages happen later (cw higher education).

But at work, where there is more of a mix, you see more of the folks with the kids in their early 20s.

Our kids came when I was 35 and 38.

Becoming a parent at 40+ must be weird. When the kid is at the peak of teenage rebellion, the parent is already 55+. I guess I would consider such a parent my grandparent A friend of mine is not even 50 and already multiple grandma
