Daddy Nobucks: When Involuntary Fathers Are Forced to Foot The Bill
“Why can’t I suggest abstinence from extra-marital sex and still live in the real world?”
I was wondering the same thing.
I stopped dating a decade ago, shortly after I became rich enough to make these kinds of scams worth attempting.
I was lucky. The first woman who tried a get-rich-quick scheme on me changed her story so often (and the pregnancy in question turned out to be fictional) that the courts eventually ruled in my favor. We went on just one date. I didn’t sleep with her. I didn’t even kiss her.
That experience, while painful, taught me a valuable lesson. A woman can ruin a man’s life with a false accusation. Men are presumed guilty. Since then I have been extremely cautious about even being alone with a woman (or a child).
I realize that most women will not try to get child support from men who never even slept with them. But there are enough women who will do that to make the legal and financial risks too high.
Of course, if you have no money or morals, the legal and financial risks of sleeping around as a man are very low. It seems like there’s a strong moral hazard element to family law these days.
