Don't Fool Yourselves, Ladies...

If a man doesn't provide for or take an interest in his children, what makes you so disillusioned to think he'll do so for you? If a man was assigned by the State of Texas to pay $578/mo ($500 for child support and $78 to the State for medical insurance) in September and was delinquent $1000 by December, he's not going to help you pay your rent or bills on time. If a man chooses to be paid under the table so the State can't asses his support amount and his checks can't be garnished, don't count in him being honest with you. If a man has no contact with his children between visitations, never asks how the kids are doing in school, shows no interest in their lives in any way shape or firm (out of sight, out of mind), why in the Hell would you think he'd show an interest in you in the long run? If a man can forge a check, cash it and the steal the money from the person supporting his children while he lives for free with his mommy, what makes you even want to be around that kind of low-life piece if scum? He'll be getting his for that soon enough... Maybe you can bail him out of jail? I'm sure he'd be quick to pay you back. 

Some men deserve to come with warning labels... Or, better yet, they should have to hand out a letter to every woman they come in contact with, sort of like a sex offender, warning them of what kind of idiot man they are. No woman deserves a guy who won't take care of his business. 

So, ladies, choose carefully. If a man isn't taking care of his kids (it's really hard for me to refer to that kind of guy as a "man"), don't hold your breath that he'll take care of you. What he's actually looking for is someone to take care of him.
