Looking back I haven’t checked in on any of the roastieposts in a long time. You can tell I’m domesticated now, the cuteness of my live-in cat has defanged my misogyny.
Anyways let’s play catch up:

This dude probably ought to bail, but given the way he’s acting he’s probably a hubby-slave
If you haven’t had a gross girl approach you, rehearse your escape-rope beforehand so you don’t crush her feelings (while you CAN, realize that you might be creating landmines for you at work with a crappy let-down)
My fave is making infrequent reference to an ex “I’m in this weird thing with, and it’s like, ugh, so aggravating, but I just can’t move ON, and it’s like….argh”. Then you can say “aww I would but….” and act like you’re still in a holding pattern w/ some ex.
@Zealist I have to know its pedigree. Have known a solid 2-handfuls of adopted kids taken up by good white families, and watched all that goodwill utterly squandered and burned. Bloodlines matter. Temperament matters. I wouldn’t jump in and play father unless I knew the kid comes from good stock, that he won’t end up flipping some low-class douchebag switch at 16 and wrap his 3rd Subaru STI around a tree while smoking weed
{Kevin samuels’ clip on “honey you need a roommate to retire with, I don’t think you’re gonna get this husband you think you deserve” followed by the slap.fx and the barking dog}
Also it’s going to be so funny watching “Covid” stretch over time in all these retellings. In 2035 people will be acting like they were in lockdown for 5 straight years, and THAT’s why they’re single
@Zealist It’s not just the pedigree (which is important, but a known graft can be okay, just not take up leadership roles in the family per se) but the fact that kids derive a lot of themselves from their parents. You can’t nurture a pitbull into being a labrador….and the kind of kids that are happily tossed into the foster system aren’t often the kinds of people I want carrying my family name, carrying my liability around.
I’d have to know the dad, know the mom, and get an idea of their character before agreeing to father a kid. It’s not totally rare, people screw up, but I’ve simply seen it turn out poorly IRL too many times to be comfy with the risk of a blind adoption. I don’t even think I saw a single case where they turned out like the biological siblings, they’re ALWAYS problem kids, like a switch flipped.
