I’m done with dating men in this town. Seriously, all of the men I’ve gone out have been little boys. I gave them ALL fair warning that I would bring my child on our first date and yet upon meeting, they freak out. I don’t believe in sacrificing time with my son for time with strangers, so he tags along with me on first dates. My son is well-behaved and is never a brat, but these “men” all seem very uncomfortable upon meeting…fidgeting in their chair, checking their phones, looking around for an escape. After one drink, they inevitably “have to leave.” One guy even had the gall to say “I thought you were joking about the kid” to which I replied: “Nothing I stated indicated it was a joke.” He grumbled, finished his soda and said… you guessed it: “Nice to meet you, but I have to go.” When will the men of Portland MAN UP and start treating single mothers with the respect they deserve? No more dates for me!

  1. “Seriously, all of the men I’ve gone out have been little boys.”

    Literally, since you brought an actual little boy on your dates.

  4. ^ Correct. This shows exactly how pathetic The Merc has become. They’re cross-posting a rant from another blog that’s disintegrating before their very eyes.

    I can’t wait until Ida/Dread starts coming over here to talk politics.

  6. xenophobe, you appear to think quite highly of Dread. Ergo, you’re fucking buffoon by association.

    BTW… WE didn’t try anything. YOU tried to sound intelligent and make a sad attempt to appear intellectually superior to me. If you look over your comments, and are actually honest with yourself, you’ll see you failed miserably on both fronts.

    However, I’m slightly flattered that you’re chasing me all over the Merc for some conversation. Sadly, I must join the long list of people (Read: Everyone) who isn’t your friend. Enjoy your evening douchebag.

  7. Travon, this rant is about your pathetic ass. And you don’t know what ergo means. But back to the PDD, hang in there. You could sell your kid for about 30k. Is it white?

  9. Did it ever occur to you that this is because I think so lowly of you and not because I think so highly of Dred? Ergo, you’re the buffoon. No offense to buffoons.

  11. Because left an “a” out of a sentence? Nice catch stooge. Good luck trying to address this comment in 5 replies or less.

  12. I thought we weren’t supposed to get away with this shit over here, Nerd, but I see nobody is really commenting anywhere.

  13. You’re part of the problem, not the solution xenophobe. I have a feeling I’ll be reading about your 1st date with Dread here before too long.

  14. I’d go on a date with Dred, see where it goes.

    When people stop complaining about meaningless shit and start taking responsibility for their own actions and stop calling people names and hiding behind the crowd, I’ll go away. I promise.

  15. No complaining or hiding here xenophobe, and I’m not seeing any action on my part that should cause me to take any sort of responsibility.

    Maybe you need to stop being such a wussy little SJW. I hope Dread puts out for you at the prom. Give that hand of yours a little rest for once.

  16. All of my comments are structured to offer the best opportunity for self-reflection. I am glad you are taking advantage.

  19. So says the guys that posts more than I do. You should ask your manager at Jack in the Box to install a skylight in the break room. It’ll do wonders for your attitude. Unfortunately, it won’t do anything for your lousy sense of humor.

  21. Don’t drag Pollo into this dude. Maybe you should start taking responsibility for your actions and stop hiding behind others.
