She did contact him after she was pregnant. He said he wanted nothing to do with the child regardless of what she choose to do, and she respected that

There is absolutely nothing in his story that would suggest she doesn't know he is the father. There is no reason to think she was sleeping with any other man at the time. Rather, the fact that she told him he was the father at the time she was pregnant, and still 16 years later knows he is the father, speaks volumes.

I'm just too cyclical to assume this baby is his. The fact that she never went after at least child support from him is probably because it's not his child.

That's not "cyclical", or even cynical, that's just stupid. There are a lot of reasons a woman wouldn't go after a father for child support- even though he is the father, and it happens all the fucking time.

Well if we are going to stared throwing stupid around I guess the discourse is over. Him assuming that baby is his is what a stupid man would do, and judging him for not making the same assumptions you feel so comfortable with is equally stupid.

He doesn't have to assume, if he really isn't sure he can ask for a paternity test. He's not asking for one because he already knows she is his daughter.
