255 men is hardly a representative sample

Anon778833 · 16/09/2022 10:26

Psychopathic men are more likely to have more children? Yes I don’t think that’s a stretch. Psychopaths have poor impulse control and no empathy and don’t care about the consequences of their actions.

Must admit to not having clicked the link, but I dud look up what the he k a parasitic father is

"It’s someone who wants to benefit from their child — and not the other way around. These fathers do not invest much time, effort, or energy into their kids and instead offload them to others — much like parasitic parents in nature who leave their kids in other animal’s nests."

This thread made me blow my nose.

How rude are you op.

It’s rude to write like a bot, post a link and instruct people to ‘discuss’. Obviously.

Discuss.

Dumped the post and left that's why.

Men who are dickheads have more kids than non-dickheads apparently.

This is not surprising.

You really can't see why it's rude?

EmmaH2022 · 16/09/2022 10:44

Just recognised Bear.

not normally rude, perhaps she is really surprised?

but yes, psychopaths are more likely to want kids for all kinds of reasons, ego being a big factor.

BearGryllsDad · 16/09/2022 10:51

Thanks. Sorry it was a quick dump and run with bad IT skills before I left for work!

It just explained so much to me! Perhaps I'm slow on the uptake. But I'd never expect psychopaths to want to be fathers. Parasitic or otherwise.

Write you own essay/article!

Mummyoflittledragon · 16/09/2022 11:00

The man, who used to sweep the streets and keep the park clean near me fathered multiple children; 13 from memory, with a number of different women. He seemed ok but definitely not an engaged father / grandparent / partner. Probably he’d mellowed with age by then as he wasn’t far off retiring.

Ah, it's good to know about psychopaths. Twenty years ago, I'd have said, learn about then for work reasons. Now sadly, it's for life reasons too.

Discuss it now then FFS.

It does remind me of Jeremy Kyle where you'd get these ridiculous dead beat Dads who were on benefits and consistently cocklodging with their new conquest who was pregnant and failing to pay for their six other kids with various women.

The fact that they managed to convince so many women to sleep with them always astounded me.

Like the man who had 15 children by 10 women (last I heard) and had tried to fake his own death so he didn’t have to see them. It was potentially a mistake for him to go on Jeremy Kyle and give women a way to know he wasn’t dead and contact him.

Can save you the bother. I'd never heard of him until I was sent a summary of his children. (And their names!)

He has:

  • twins (Moroccan and Monroe) with Mariah Carey born 2011
  • a son (Golden Sagon) born 2017 with Brittany Bell
  • a daughter (Powerful Queen) born 2020 also with Brittany Bell
  • twins (Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir) born 2021 with Abby De La Rosa
  • son (Zen) who tragically died at 5 months, born 2021 - not long after the twins above- with Alyssa Scott
  • a son (Legendary Love) born 2022 with Bre Ties
  • a daughter (Onyx Ice Cole) recently born 2022, with LaNisha Cole
  • baby due with Brittany Bell again
  • rumour of a baby due with Abby De La Rosa again

Legendary Love Cannon! Discuss.

You discuss made me laugh. Reminds me of the m and m's advert - 'YOU get in the bowl'🤣🤣

Greydogs123 · 16/09/2022 11:46

Just fell down a rabbit hole looking up Nick cannon! Why do so many women want his babies and why are they giving them such unbearable names?!
“powerful Queen”!
“Zillion Heir”
Children as accessories, gonna need some therapy one of these days.

I don’t think it’s at all rude. This is a forum. If you don’t like the OP then just move along instead of getting uppity. There are no rules about how you should write a OP. This isn’t a dinner party.

Has MN been taken over by the forum police?
