@basedbagel - Yeah... I've gotten the same treatment before. It comes mostly in the form of a side-eye, guarding behavior, and/or innuendo. I don't think anyone's name-calls me because I can appear fairly intimidating (heavy eyebrows).
To be clear: kids have never been something I'm into like that. But people still seem to make the silent assumption - as revealed in their behavior. That assumption shouldn't be dignified with response.
I'm curious about much of that is projection, or paranoia?
@basedbagel - And something sadly ironic: sex abuse actually did happen in my family, growing up.
And as I get to know people closely... more often than not, there comes a point when it comes out that they've been subjected to sexual shenanigans themselves, by adults, as children.
It's at the point now, that I almost view sex-abuse as normal (whether we would normalize it, or not). It's like some kind of rite-of-passage... which is kinda fucked up, actually.
@basedbagel - And sorry to ramble here... But you were right to drop your friend.
Fuck that guy. Odds are greater than zero, that he's projecting what's inside of him, anyway (I might feel bad for his kids though).
@YoMomz
I wouldn't worry about him having kids. Last I heard he went full black pill.
That's why I have such disdain for the black pill mentality.
They just give up on life and actively antagonize those who try to help and hate on anyone trying to do better as "copers".
