Men who raise step-kids.
 

:1orglaugh

Every once in a while I have to LOL at the utter stupidity.

Turbulent shit

if you want that bitch, you gotta take the baggage. personally i'd rather keep looking..

What do you think of men who raise step-dogs?

Totally fine because the dog will never yell "you're not my dad."

i have a step dad and a step brother
never felt like a real father, he always favoured my (step) brother

Using your resources to further another man's DNA into the future = FAIL

what % of guys are raising another mans kid without even realizing it? thats even worse. it happens.

Polygamy is natural ?

My mother remarried and my step father is who i consider my dad and father. Always treated me like an equal and never made me feel different.

So, by that logic you also perceive adoption as a 'fail.' What about programs like UNICEF or the Ronald McDonald House that mainly focus on the survival of children - either by providing necessary food and resources or funds for life threatening medical treatments, do you consider such humanitarian efforts to be 'fails' as well?

I realize you're just trolling, but try not to be such an ass-hat all the time.

Any kind of parenting is stupid nowadays ...

There is a lot of douche baggery in this thread.

You were really lucky, I had step father and step mother (as my parents freaking love remarrying) and neither one was more in my life than the person my mom/dad remarried.

Cock....

The original point is you are a genetic failure if you are raising another man's kids. Haven't seen anything to disprove that point as of yet. Just deluded losers trying to transpose status and some kind of meaning into their failed lives via someone else's kids.

Surely the real Alpha is the father of the kids who got some loser beta to raise, pay for and protect his offspring. It's the ultimate ownage in life. Even homeless, smack dealing child molesters look down on such failures.

This is probably more par for the course. Studies show that males with no children often have a negative or neutral response to children; in effect they are playing at being a father for the mother's approval. If they are extraordinarily giving individuals they might be able to hold up the act, but in general the result is a favored child and a less favored step child.

Children are also at a MUCH greater risk of being hurt or killed by stepfathers

More on Why Stepfathers Kill Their Children

(that is the title of the article not my title)

One of my best friends recently did this when he met a chick. (well when i say best friend, that was before he turned into a pussy).

She has 2 kids. Roughly 3 and 5 years old i believe. Within weeks, he was acting like they were his kids, and calling them his "babies" lol.

The bitch he is with is a fucking whore! She doesn't even let him go out with us anymore because he has "priorities at home now!" LOL.

It's funny, yet pathetic at the same time. Watching him get so Owned from a bitch with 2 kids is crazy. Most of the money he makes now goes on keeping those kids, and her aswell since she spends fortunes every week to "try" and make herself look good. Even though she fails miserably.

He has shitloads of debt, and yet they are getting married next year and spending money on it like it's no problem at all.



He'll soon wake up and smell the coffee. Though by that time, he'll be married to a fucking bitch and stuck with her 2 kids! :1orglaugh

This article confirms what DJ is saying: "The logic of assortative mating would suggest that only men of low mate value would marry women of low mate value (older women with children from previous marriages)."

Never had kids. Much to selfish.

.

The question still on the floor is: Does this apply to the husband of a couple that adopts?



.

I have friends doing this - man I would have to so damn in love with somebody to deal with living with and raising kids who aren't mine. pass.

adopting kids as infants is very different than taking on step-kids.

If the adoption is by choice and due to an inability of the male to reproduce then no. That should be reflected in self-resentment not the resentment of a child.

since when does helping people make you a failure ever?

does that make doctors losers? brilliant logic, even for a troll thread..

OK. then at what age do you NOT adopt a child?



.

If the kids aren't brand new they are probably tainted, it is the same as getting a new puppy vs a used dog.

If the child to be adopted can walk and or talk, too old.

GOOD :thumbsup

This is the only reply worth reading in this thread.
Everything else is pathetic.

I've seen a couple of single moms in my life that I would have changed some diapers for. :1orglaugh

My father died when I was nine months old, and I was raised by my step father. I didn't know he wasn't my biological until I was like 12 or so, when I finally noticed that my last name was different from everyone else in the family.

Looking back I shouldn't complain. My step father did well in life, provided for me, and I surely never went hungry. I had a good childhood.

i'm not saying don't adopt a child - that is a very noble and great thing to take in a parent-less child as your own whether it's an infant or a 12 year old.

optimal for a child and parents is to adopt before the child is old enough to know what adoption is. i also don't believe kids should be told they're adopted until adulthood or there is a medical reason. i have cousins that never knew they were adopted until they were well into their 30's. not sure why at that point they were told.

Fuck women with kids, sell your ass and raise your little bastards on your own. I was raised by a stepfather and it sucks. By the way you can't compare being a stepfather to adoption. You're adopting because you want the children while as a stepfather you just wants to get into mom's pussy

You want to start over and better clarify whatever statement you are trying to make?

By your latest definition, Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher, and Kurt Russell are just a few examples of those "genetic failures" who have failed at life, while rapists, dead beat dads and countless sperm donors are the Alpha male "winners". :Oh crap

NICE ONE!!!

What if you are dating a girl with kids and you fall in love with the kids also? I have two friends that this happened to and it worked out great for everybody.


.:2 cents:


.

My daughters are a handful. My son turned out awesome. Guess which one(s) mine?

None of them. :1orglaugh

Holy shit you guys are easy pickings tonight.

That's impossible to happen to me. As soon as I know she got children I'm gone so no chance I get to know them

That statement pretty much proves you're a total idiot.

You're a genetic failure if you don't sire children, the genetic success part has nothing to do with who raises them, just that your genetic children live long enough to reproduce.

Sounds about right... :2 cents:

You appear to be a real asshole, but I can't argue with your logic. If I was ever going to be a stepfather, the girl had better look like Olivia Wilde, and have 2 hot sisters that she allows to sleep in our bed.

Only parents should be allowed to post in this thread. Thos who are not yet, just bookmark this thread, open it a few years later, and cry.

Same here :2 cents:

Raised me and my sister from my 3rd and when I look at the person I am today I think he did a pretty damn good job.

your theory has flaws..

If a man can't create his own kids , he is already a genetic failure, raising someone else's kids makes zero difference in passing his genetics along.

But i think your argument is more that if a man already has kids and gains someone else's he is decreasing his chances of genetic success. I am not sure that theory holds much water. If so does having more than one child increase or decrease your chances of genetic success ?

Lets say i have 1 child and marry a woman with 2 children. Does my child now only get 1/3 the resources because i have to share time/money with 3 children instead of 1 ? Wouldn't the same hold true if i had 3 children of my own ?

says gfy's biggest (both literally and figuratively) idiot. :1orglaugh

Just like everything there are good and bad. However, there is no disputing the well documented stats that children fare better (again, in general) with their real fathers.

That doesn't mean there aren't thousands and thousands of cases where the dad is a douchebag and the SD is good, or where both are good guys.

using the same logic. If i make 100k a year and have 3 children on my own , they each get 1/3 of that ( approx 33k ). If i marry a woman who has 1 child and also makes 100k , the combined earnings would be 200k / 4 , so now each of my children will have 50k

I just increased my childrens genetic success by having stepkids.. ( and i get laid and dinner made ) , who is the fool now. :winkwink:
