Oh shut up...don't act like we don't live in a world where girls are freakin' scandalous, because they are!!
So....do you think it's fair for a man to automatically get a DNA test on a child when it's 1st born, to remove all doubt, even if there is none? And even if they're married or in a serious relationship??!!
I say yes!! What's to hide?!
I get that asking for a test somewhat implies lack of trust, BUT let's be real, there's nothing wrong with protecting yourself just to be sure!! And as long as the guy brings it up in a civil, non-accusatory way, I don't understand why some women would completely flip & start acting crazy!
A little confusion, disappointment & anger is to be expected, but full flown defensiveness? Hmmmm that's the kind of stuff that'd make a man who never even questioned it before, start to question it now!
I still say YES, get them tested!

lol @ Fox
This topic breeds the same emotions that asking for a Pre-nup does. People think it's about lack of trust when it's really about protecting self. It's like insurance...no one is saying that it will happen, BUT in the case that it does, you're protected
Plus, people tend to get very ugly when a divorce/breakup happens. All of the sudden, it's "Well that baby technically doesn't look like me" lol

Some women are really nasty, so I don't blame a guy for wanting a DNA test done. Usually girls like that have bad taste in men & only sleep with no job hoodrats who don't have two pennies to rub together. So when they do get knocked up, they PICK the one who has the most money (even if it's in a piggy bank lol) & can at least provide...it doesn't even matter if he is the real father or not. I've seen it happen in real life too.

My sister is a perfect example of this...She is NOW married & HAPPILY married & has an amazing family BUT...
When she 1st got pregnant, they'd only been dating for 4 months. She didn't know she was pregnant until she delivered. She suspected that she may have been pregnant & took 4 home pregnancy tests (which she kept as proof that) AND got a blood test from the hospital done that was negative too. She was on birth control at the time of conception too so eventually she just chalked up the pain, discomfort & sudden weight gain as birth-control related
Well when she delivered my nephew, his family pushed him to get a DNA test & I can't blame them!!! Why pretend like your trust for someone so early on would be the same level of trust it'd be persay she'd gotten pregnant 10 years into the relationship?!
Yes he trusted her & yes he loved her & yes he had every intention on sticking around regardless, BUT he wasn't stupid or naive either. Even though his son came out looking like his spitting image, he was still smart & got the DNA test done!
Yes, the DNA results were that it was his kid, but not once did my sister ever get offended, get nervous or feel slighted b/c he asked for one. She knows how women are & she wasn't naive to that fact.
Now they are a great family & happily married!

@Tizani...well you can't really predict someone's reaction until you're actually there in that moment.
That's why it's not until a man asks for a test & sees her strange reaction that he THEN starts to have doubts even if he went into it without having any real/major doubt to begin with
A lot of times, a woman's reaction will tell the story. As with anything, too much defensiveness could be a red flag & a green light to have your antennas up.

A man's entire finances could be affected for the REST OF HIS LIFE!!! There's a lot of long term responsibility that comes with being the "assumed" father!
All I'm saying is that if a woman is gonna expect for a man to sign over his wallet, his time & all of his energy for the rest of his life, the LEAST she can do is prove to him that the child is actually his!
It's like women nowadays don't have any empathy for the men who get done wrong in this way. It's like women are still trying to stick to their story in saying that men are the only gender who does scandalous things. That's not true. Women can be evil! And 1 of the most evil things a woman can do is to lie about paternity. Even the worst man imaginable doesn't deserve that

There's a REASON some states make it standard procedure for a guy to get a DNA test before they require him to send 1 penny. Hell, some states even won't give you any state benefits unless the paternity of the father you're claiming is the father is actually the real father!
In Ohio, you can't get food stamps (for example) or cash assistance unless you prove that you've either requested a paternity test or signed him up for child support. Of course these cases mostly apply to parents who are not married, BUT I disagree with this b/c unmarried people aren't the only ones with some damn secrets!!
If the government doesn't even feel that you deserve $ 500 of assistance unless you prove paternity b/c they're not cool with forking out all this money, that should tell you something.
People go into it trusting their partner. BUT people also break up. And when some couples break up, the question of paternity may come up too. If the procedure was standard for everyone to begin with, there'd be no valid basis for someone to deny paternity!
Besides it's in the child's best interest to know for a fact who their father is for a slue of different reasons.

Oh & I'm still waiting on the answers to my questions. What's my 1st & last name? Where do I work? How old am I? Where do I live?! By the way you SWEAR you know me inside & out, I figured in the least that you'd at least know the very basic things about me. But as usual, you'll just go on to skip those questions. Figures.
Don't worry I'll wait......
Anywho, moving on

LOL
You're like a child who stomps into a room, says he hates his home, but yet finds his way back every single time. You think throwing a fit, repeating yourself over & over again & screaming as loud as you can will disguise the fact that all you really want is attention.
I'm going to ignore you from now on. Ignorant internet thugs who thrive on attention can't stand to be ignored. I'm going to enjoy watching you sweat. As much as it's flattering to me to see how consumed you are with my posts, I am officially checking out & would prefer only to listen to the folks who actually have something constructive to say. Enjoyed the "talks," but I am going to take my own advice & turn my head to anybody who comes to my posts to talk about everything BUT what the post was supposed to be about. Since you insist on telling me how you feel about me every single day as if I didn't hear you the 1st time, I suggest that you invest in a diary or personally inbox me. Now THAT would be constructive.
TOODLES!

You know, your little tag says to Google you.
Out of curiosity, I Googled your username and I find it amusing that the username was linked to someone who got knocked up by some dude and was having babydaddy issues.
Now I see this thread and it makes me lol.
I have no idea if the names are related, but I'm starting to wonder with all your random fuck threads about this shit and your slut shaming.
Just sayin'.
Also, you watch too much trashy TV if you think this shit is THIS prevalent in society, hence my "cultural" comment.
There's definitely a socio-economic tie of all the guests on Maury. To jump to a conclusion that it happens as much as you're implying is a bit ignorant on your part. Being oh so scholarly, you should know better. Your assumptions are nothing but speculation based on no statistical data and you're just using trashy TV shows to prove your point, which speaks volumes about the subject and its validity.

People are funny. They're always trying to accuse me of pulling shit out of my azz but yet their means for trying to do "research" on me are through non-credible ways & is their way of pulling something out of their azz.
I find it ironic that the people who are trying to make you look dumb, inadvertently make themselves look like the even bigger dumbazz when they come back with their half-azzed research!
Me saying that I got the idea for this topic from a TV show is in no way me saying that everything I know about this topic came from that TV show.
That'd be like you posting a status about love after listening to a Taylor Swift song gave you an idea. If I came to your post as an internet thug & said, "Omg, your overall knowledge of love came from Taylor Swift, eeew!" I'd look like an even bigger dumazz than I'm trying to make you look lol

And the reason my profile says, "Google me stalkers" is b/c you're not the 1st person whose ever tried finding out who I "really" am. When I wrote, "Google me" I went into it knowing that none of you know my real name, & I went into hoping that no one would be dumb enough to consider Googling a username to be valid/credible research!
Once again, my point has been proven! You're trying to tell me who I "really" am while at the same time admitting that you have no valid means of figuring it out & no real information about me to begin with to go about figuring it out! If I tell you to jump off a bridge to come find me, only a fool would actually do it lmao Idiots
