You can help anyone out of pity young man, bt dating out of pity ain't a smart move...it's not a crime to take care of another person's family wen d need arises, I jst hope u knw wat u're into, you date someone u love nt d one u pity...,which means someone can wakeup and d next tin he wants to date dat mad woman on d street...

I think he's a responsible man.
Real men don't run from responsibilities, only cowards do.
But why date a pregnant girl with two children at his young age?

He his really joking,if u feel pity for her just accept responsibility,dating her is not a better option cus wen u are tired also u go dump am.

Good stuff though, but child birth isnt the true test. it is raising the child. Providing for him/her, understanding the child when he/she is not talking but crying, Fatherhood is more than just being there at birth. However, being there at birth is a good start. Keep the tempo

He's indeed a good man....

Dude. I hope you know what you are getting yourself into. I understand the point that black Kids need a father figure in their lives but mehn another man's child is a no no.
The point is that you don't love the lady, you only pity for her because of her condition and she is using you as a comfort zone to heal her broken heart . When the baby father come Knocking, she will leave your ass faster than light.

Smh but You are only 21 tho

Mr man, stop fooling yourself. I'm a woman but I wouldn't subscribe to this your school of thought if you were my brother. That woman's agenda is a truckload. She's looking for anyone that will take off the burden. Be 100% sure she will go back to the father of her son and you would have been used. It's your 21yr old youthful brain that's acting like that. Grow up before your poor mum finds out what danger you're up to. She won't find it funny at alllllll!!!!

KWEEN said...

He has a big heart and he's obviously a good man. But I sense that this woman is out to take advantage of that. They've only been dating for 3 months and she told the nurses that he was the kid's father before he had the chance to even answer. How old is she? Are all three kids from the same man who walked away from her? Let's just pray she's just not trying to use his kind heart and she's not with him just because she didn't want to have that kid all alone. Let's not forget that he's just 21. And he's about to 'inherit' 3 kids with a woman he's known for just 3 months. That's a huge step for a man so young. I pray he doesn't get hurt and it works out for them.

Bravo to this brave man. God bless him real good. By choosing to play father to this baby he has proved that there are still good people in a world that has gone so cold. He is not stupid as some shallow minded think rather he is wiser and more humane than most of us. His love for his girlfriend is beyond the canal love it is very spiritual. He should be encouraged not derided.

If a man can walk out on a pregnant woman (especially when he impregnated her), then the corollary follows that another man can walk-in to fill the vacuum.

He's doing a big thing. It takes courage to do what he's doing..but I wouldn't do it for a woman who already has two kids before this baby. It's too early to commit and too early to say if he wants to marry her.

Anonymous said...

It'll be another story if they break up. Neyo did this. He came on the scene calling a gf's child his own til the relationship soured and she went after him for child support. His response: "That's not my kid." It's a noble mission, but if a man doesn't want to raise another man's child, that's also his perogative.

You can help the kid, pay the bills, love him like yours. But why you gotta date the woman? Eventually you gonna want your own kid. Ask yourself, do you want her to be the mother of your child after she's got 3 already?

Young Benjamin is a great guy.
I have a cousin who is separated from the wife 2 years ago and it happened that at the point of thier wedding the wife was HIV positive but he decided to protect her and continued with the wedding.Their first children died because she mistakenly breastfed the child but she walked out of the marriage while pregnant for the second child and was so abusive to the husband. The hsuband never mentioned her status to anyone but me.

My point is Benjamin hasnt done anything wrong but the woman should appreciate what he has done by supporting Benjamin wherever she can.

Anonymous said...

The man is a fool, this is her 3rd child and he signed papers saying it is his, after knowing her for 3 months. He just has low self esteem, if that girl was not pregnant she probably wouldn't give him the time of day. If a man left her pregnant on her 3rd child good change the other children have different fathers which shows her track record is heavy in the streets. Check back on this guy in 6 months and he will have a totally different song to sing. He might be a Great guy but the woman is very questionable especially after she volunteered him as the father when nobody asked her.

I don't know what is up with Akata people(black Americans).You had the 1st and 2nd,it didn't occur to you that you probably need to keep dem legs closed for a little while.she'll have a kid for this kid soon and cos he is such a gentleman,he'll probably take responsibility for all of them.he is too young for the drama.If the baby was her 1st,no p.i hope they find happiness together though.

Anonymous said...

Roping him to carry another man's burden, surely this girl has found her dummy. This man is toying with his future; too young to be a dad to 3 kids. Black American women should stop having kids with thugs and dumping them on "nice mumus". Let her go find the father of the kid. You can still be a role model without being romantically involved this irresponsible woman. Black culture should stop rewarding promiscuity. This nice guy should go find himself a nice and responsible woman. Don't let thugs and their hos out breed responsible black people.
