It’s a reverse! There is a single mother version of this. I’ll try and Google it up…

Ah, that makes a lot of sense

So the flip side of this would read

"I'm a single mother of 3 with another on the way. If you don't have what it takes to raise my kids then move aside and let a real man step in. Must have your own car, preferably a porsche, must be able to cook, clean but be an alpha male.
No shorter than 6 foot"

Yeah he's taking the piss out of single mums isn't he. Which isn't very nice really.

He must be a short man

astarsheis · 18/10/2022 18:01

Think that's an old one...seen it doing the rounds on SM

Navigatingnewwaters · 18/10/2022 18:02

At least he’s local…

AngelinaFibres · 18/10/2022 18:05

Is it Helen Skeltons ex husband's profile

It's clearly taking the piss out of single mums, it's a "reversal" tinder style.

AdoraBell · 18/10/2022 18:17

He’s said what he wants, hopefully no one will fall for this utter prick that stated must be submissive.

SoozyWoozy5 · 18/10/2022 18:19

No idea why he’s single……🤔

He might as well have written 'I'm a misogynistic turd'

Sadly there probably would be a woman who would respond, assuming it is genuine. After all, there are some women who like Boris Johnson.

Though unlike Boris Johnson, he willingly acknowledges all his own children.

Johnson is intelligent, rich and well-connected.

I know he's also a pie-faced, sexually incontinent liar, but some women can overlook that.

I don’t know… because I struggle to imagine what makes people think it’s in any way acceptable to write the kind of ‘looking for a man to pay for me and my kids’ profiles it’s parodying.

Not all single mums are like that. Not even close. It’s not making fun of single mums. It’s making a point about some pretty awful behaviour.

And, as so many on the thread have pointed out, the thinking isn’t restricted to single mums. There are an alarming number of men looking for not just nanny/housekeeper replacements for their children’s mother, they also want her to provide financially and ideally have a big house for his kids and a car and basically compensate him for what he lost in his divorce. They don’t necessarily say that as baldly… but these kind of single dad parasites are more common than you’d think.

It is a terrible attitude whether it’s a man or a woman holding it.

Thereisnolight · 18/10/2022 18:30

It’s funny.
I’d respond.

Lovelycupofcoffee · 18/10/2022 19:10

Bet he still lives at home with his mum 🤣😂

jtaeapa · 18/10/2022 20:09

You could write back: Hi, I am interested but could you please confirm that you: own a large detached house, are 6 foot 4 or over, handsome, 6 inch + dick, in perfect health and have £1m+ in the bank with a salary of no less than 250k. Thanks

To all the people criticising the bio and saying how pathetic he sounds: you do realise that you are agreeing with him, right? You and he are on the same side in criticising this imagined 'entitled single parent' mindset? You might get along, you should swipe right.
