Holy crap that's offensive Shock

Sexist disgusting article! Hate the implication that generally men are just out for sex and women want talking and romance.

It's actually made me want to complain. It's basically saying 'pick up a single mum to get laid'

ghostyslovesheep · 05/03/2015 09:23

fuck that's vile - why publish that

Nothavingfunrightnow · 05/03/2015 09:25

Guess I'm not a single mum then as it don't apply to me.

Now I need to find a new label.

Bullshit article as nothing else could be thought of.

Metro isn't a spoof website.

mindalina · 05/03/2015 09:30

the author is a woman so I reckon she's a single mum and not quite as secure about her sense of her own attractiveness as she claims

Even though it's apparently 'tongue in cheek', it's shitty - this is because it is not remotely funny, just full of lazy stereotyping.

Regardless, cleanmyhouse's comment was uncalled for & nasty imo.

Stoatystoat · 05/03/2015 09:39

Was it written by Hugh Grant's character in About a Boy?! Awful.

CupidStuntSurvivor · 05/03/2015 09:40

Good God. Single mum here. One who gets plenty of adult conversation and makes sure I get out plenty. Perhaps that's why I'm not so grateful when a date gets me out of the flat that I automatically need to shag him 7 times before I go back to the Peppa Pig Prison. Hmm

Rjae · 05/03/2015 09:43

Omg words fail me!

canweseethebunnies · 05/03/2015 09:47

It's just a a joke isn't it? I don't think it's actually aimed at blokes trying to pick up women, I think it's a joke for single mums.

I thought it wAs mildly amusing, and I've been a single mum [shrug]

cleanmyhouse · 05/03/2015 09:57

Gosh was my humour directed at the fucking idiot who wrote this fucking shitty piece of writing offensive?

Sorry not sorry.
