Do you know that ONLY 3% of single parents on social security payments are teenagers?
Do you know that the average age of single parents on social security payments are 33.5 years?
Do you know that 25.5% of Partnered mothers and 21.0% of single mothers work full time?
"You girls took it upon yourself to allow this 'one nighter' to turn into a child"
Your claims for 'one nighter' is totaly baseless, a provocation against single mothers, who have average age 33.5 years and who are trying to create their families BUT the immature, irrisponsible fathers of their children run away!
You blame the teenagers that make children for the money but teenagers single mothers are only 3% of the total number of single mothers. Your attacks against teenagers are totaly unfair!
You blame single mothers that they berth children for the money but statistcs show that they work full time as the maried mothers, while they have no support from their partner.
SORRY SIR BUT ARE YOU MISOGYNY? Do not you feel sorry for the fatherless children and their dark future? What kind of society we will create with fathers run away? Do not you know that your children and grandchildren will live in this dangerous society? READ THE STATISTICKS FOR THE FATHERLESS CHILDREN. FAC* THE MONEY SIR WHEN WE DISTROY OUR SOCIETY!

Blabby: <"If I was a young female and halfway attractive, kids or no kids, I'd simply tell all those single guys with pocketfulls of money
who tried to hit on me, that it will cost 200$ or whatever.

But this of course is far too practical :)

So instead the blokes go to the pub and tell the girls alot of lies,
to get into their pants and the girls give it all away for nothing.">

1. Since these young women aim to live a life of luxury on benefits, CS and the baby bonus, wouldn't it be more "practical" for men to stop giving away their sperm ? Maybe if they were smart enough, they'd hold out and charge for their services.

2. If men are in such danger of being victimized for child support; they would be very silly NOT to wear a condom of their own accord - regardless of whether a woman insisted or not.

3. It seems that you're saying that young men declaring their love or good intentions for young women are all liars?

4. Should women always assume that men lie "just to get in their pants" ?

5. If all men are liars just to get sex, then don't they deserve what they get if there's a baby to support out of it

Ah Antonious, there seem to be good evolutionary reasons for all
that!

As a wise female friend of mine noted " Women will draw up a list
of qualities that they seek in a male, then run off and follow their
feelings".

We know very well that many females are attracted to testosterone
laden "bad boys".

I have a shearer friend, who in his younger days was a real chick
magnet. He's got around 5-6 kids spread around the place, to
3-4 different mothers. He'd tell the most outrageous stories to
get his end away, women fell for it, time after time.

Meantime plenty of "nice boys" were being ignored. Evolution
in action for you!

Perhaps better sex education, to explain to gullible young girls
how many blokes really think, would not be such a bad idea.

Hey....I see this site has been resurrected so for all the sad sacks on this thread, pullin' their puds, I offer an innovative strategy to assist them in hitting on their next victim:

An Aussie is sitting at a bar in New York and looks at his watch several times in the space of a few minutes. The woman sitting nearby notices this and and asks "Is your date late?"

"No" he replies. "I have this state-of-the-art watch, and I was just testing it."

The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"

The Australian explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically." The lady says "And what's it telling you now?"

" Well , it says you're not wearing any panties."

The offended lady replies "Well it must be broken because it's wrong, I am wearing panties."

The Australian leers, taps his watch once more and says "Bloody thing's running about an hour fast again, can I buy you a drink?"

Pathetic ain't it!

Ok Att, as you're one for the stats;
Do you know that ONLY 3% of single parents on social security payments are teenagers?

So has this increased in the past 7 years?

Do you know that the average age of single parents on social security payments are 33.5 years?
So what was it 7 years ago?

Stats are great tools when you want them to be. Do you know the average wage is about 90 grand a year. Do you think this reflects the REAL AVERAGE?

BUT the immature, irrisponsible fathers of their children run away!
Sorry, not thier children, it was a mistake that they wanted nothing to do with, SOMETHING THEY MADE plain and clear!.

Why then did the mother, after knowing that the guy wanted nothing to do with the child, or her, choose to have the baby?

Why would a single mother bring a child into the world knowing that life would be tough, if not for the thought that there may be some way of making the father pay?

Did she think that the non-interested father would earn enough so that his CS payments could support her and her baby?

Now as for kids from fatherless homes. I see them all the time, mainly as apprentices. They are usually great up until they start to tell mum what to do.

I have no control over others, I have simply helped raise two great kids without crime, violence or disrespect.

SORRY SIR BUT ARE YOU MISOGYNY? No idear what this means sorry.

I probably did stare at the painting far too long Fractelle and I wasn’t sure if it was an old painting or the scratches were part of the painting.

I’m on the Central Coast, NSW. But no time for ‘off property’ stuff. Might be a good idea for daughter though, not a shy bone in her body. Don’t know about her learning lines – might be pushing it. How busy do they keep you?

Yabby:“I can certainly empathise, toothache is not pleasant, so you find a solution..”

Oh Yabby, if someone had offered to fix it for a quickie I would have jumped at the chance. That kind of pain with an inflamed tooth nerve” Hell yeah. No one offered as I upchucked water every few minutes is all.

Now as a regular occupation prostitution really wasn’t an option. I’m afraid myself, and probably a lot of other women, except under extreme circumstances, just can’t do it with just anyone at anytime. If we could you males would all be broke all of the time because why would there be any other way?[smile]

Retchub, you make no sense. We teach our children to be responsible for their actions so I see no reason to change the rules for adults. Adult males being no exception.

This belief you have firmly set in your mind that single mothers are raking it in at the expense of some male they trapped is nuts. Children actually cost a lot to have around. I have even heard of fathers who want to contribute and be part of even their accidental children’s lives. I know it is shocking but they are out there.

And the other males that were forced in some way to have unprotected sex and then made to contribute should take Yabby’s advice:

“Lots of people do things they don't enjoy doing, every day. That's life, we make a crust one way or another.”
