I recently found a Craigslist item so absurd, I wanted to share it with you and offer my commentary. Posted in Men seeking Woman, it was entitled:
“Lets have a beautiful baby together”
“lets have a baby
established black guy here, 37
I am looking to have a kid.
are you seeking the same?
not seeking a romantic relationship but will be in my kids life in every way”
Yes, how appealing. I would like to spend 9 months pregnant with your child, with no strings attached!! A baby, with no relationship to the father!! Comforting to know that the father plans to be there in the child’s life. Yet does not seek a relationship with the mother of his child…
I love that this post isn’t even this guy just wanting sex, which would be normal. Nope, he wants to have sex and then a lifetime of committment to the consequences of unprotected sex!! What a guy!
Sign me up for 9 months of pregnancy, going through 20 hours of labor, and 18 years of raising a child with a relatively unknown dad, who plans to be present in the kid’s life? Awesome!!
I guess, on the plus side… at least he is honest? This probably happens all the time with men who are far less honest about their intentions.
Thanks, but no thanks, pal.
