tl;dr: TRP is a great ideology that has its message lost with illogical, extremist posts like this instead of quality posts that explain/give examples of what TRP truly stands for. This is ruining the community, as you can see by everyone's reply in this thread.
Did anyone actually read the original thread?
I believe in the true fundamental ideas about TRP, but extremist posts like these only hurt the community and prevent outsiders from ever joining because the messages are construed into thinking we're just a women and beta hating angry mob.
Like 80% of the things in this post make me think you should leave this poor woman alone for her and her child's sake. You are far, far too emotionally immature to date a single mom.
Remember folks, it's always the man (in this case, OP) who is the emotionally immature one. Not once does anyone say that about the girl, despite the fact she willingly was a cumbox for her abusive ex-fiance and still carries his alpha genes inside of her to this day.>
The consensus wasn't that he was immature for not wanting to date a pregnant woman, the consensus was he was immature for being a weirdo with no game and making things super awkward for her. He knew she was pregnant before going on the date and practically used her to make himself more comfortable talking to women, since he hasn't dated one in over a year. Furthermore, he just pestered her about the pregnancy because he's socially awkward. He asked about what happened to the father and was contemplating bringing up abortion. No wonder why this was his first date in a year, he can only attract women in a "take what they can get" condition.
What was the actual deal breaker for you: potentially having to raise a child, or all the things that come along with dating a pregnant woman? I agree it would be sort of weird to date her while pregnant, but maybe down the line once she has the child and things get a little less crazy it might have been worth it to keep that door open. If you met her when, say, she had a 1 year old child, would this have been a different scenario for you?
Just white knights being white knights. Trying to find a loophole, any loophole, to encourage OP to become this woman's open wallet. "Well what if she does the pregnancy on her own? Can you please come back to her after that and help the child? Please?"
Your point would be spot-on if he was blindsided by the pregnancy and was given shit for it, but he went into the date specifically knowing she was already pregnant. Furthermore, OP replies to this comment stating he's OKAY with dating women with children. Additionally, the comment wasn't aggressive, the commenter seemed to just be curious.
I think you're getting ahead of yourself in a mind-numbing way by imagining yourself as a stepfather after a single lunch. She's fully aware that she's in an awkward spot, but you're making it much weirder. If there's a connection, set a date #2 and go for it. If you can't bear another couple of hours with a pregnant lady, move on. I think that she's trying to date, just like you are, not expecting you to slide in as dad replacement after Panera.
Of course she's looking for a stepfather figure, you dumbass. She's going to have a baby in a a few months. You don't think she's hoping to rope in a beta provider by then so he can pay for the diapers and formula milk? Honestly I'm surprised at this level of denial. I figured even the bluest of bluepillers would understand that she's trying to assemble a new family.
Yeah, this was kind of a foolish way for him to start off his idea. There's no doubt the woman was looking for a provider, hence going on dates. But OP was more weirded out by the fact of taking care of a baby i.e. changing diapers. Again, he knew she was pregnant and is okay dating women with kids. If he was so unwilling to raise the kid, why did he go on the date in the first place?
Maybe you were in a bad mood but your post makes you seem like a massive dick and a giant douche. I think it is just your mood because you're scared shitless of a potential future. You want love, you eventually want a family. And she's into you. But she's pregnant and you'd have to be an instant dad in 4 months. Is that why you are coming off so insensitive in your post?
Classic male shaming tactic. Call the OP immature and "scared of a potential future". I swear there isn't a day going by when some feminist doesn't whine about how men refuse to be men anymore, that guys are still stuck in their college phase, that they only care about video games and working out, etc.
I'm just beating a dead horse at this point, but to sum up what happened: he went on a date with a girl that he knew was pregnant and acted socially awkward/beta, essentially using her to make himself more comfortable because he hadn't dated anyone in over a year (no kidding).
When he decided to stop acting like an immature twat and messaged her politely that he wasn't interest,
UPDATE Sent her this: "Hey <name>. I had a really great time at lunch. I just think we're at different points in our lives and I don't think a relationship would work out between us right now. Best of luck with everything."
guess what? He wasn't ousted, he was praised for handling the situation with some maturity, further proving that the attacks on him weren't because he didn't want to date a pregnant woman, but because he acted beta and didn't know how to properly handle the situation.
Please do not ruin the good word of TRP will illogical rubbish. You're almost as bad the bluepillers/betas/extreme feminist.
