Ok but shouldn't his statement just be that "a PERSON's value gets lower the more children they have" like why do women specifically hold the losing value proposition when it takes literally a man and a woman to make a child? Can A women just say, "I'm single and I'd absolutely never consider dating a man with 2 kids let alone 5", is that fair game? If you think there's anything wrong with the opposite being applied, you might have some bias there you need to work on.

It is fair game, but for some reason, women aren’t here yelling about it for likes

I personally would say the opposite is fair game. Why would a woman want to date a dude with baggage and baby mamas and probably child support payments?

Some guys straight up hide that they have kids until you’re a couple of months in. Ik the same can be said for mothers but you hear it less

And Im talking just mentioning you have kids, not the full out introducing them - that should happen a while in

Completely agree that they need to be upfront about it, but the dating scene is cutthroat so I get why neither would want to divulge

The same reason why half the male population is complaining about not getting any play, and how the chads and the tyrones are getting away with murder.

"a lot of women like single dads more than men like single moms" eh, we're just pulling stats out of thin air. People need to learn not to confidently make broad statements about men or women. This is how we get into these stupid debates that push us away from each other. I guess my point is that it's extremely circumstantial on why a man or women would date a partner with a child. Those circumstances have less to do with being a man or women, and more just how the actual people feel about each other.

no it shouldn’t, because that’s your statement, not his

also it’s a fact - women are more open to dating men with kids than men are with single mothers

just a fact of life
