Men forcing women to become pregnant against their will...

[Poll_Blind]

51. A female acquaintence of mine recently headed off to a different state to do this to a man.

Jill - Girl moving to a different state, hardly know her
Pam - Ex-girlfriend of mine, still really good friends and we still live together. Friend of Jill's

This happened like 3-5 weeks ago, maybe a little longer. I hardly know Jill but Pam had been telling me that Jill had been working out a lot, dieting and doing a bunch of crunches and butt exercises so she had a super-toned ass. Pam, another female friend, my baby mama and I are all working out right now and trying to get sexy for the summer so Jill's ass and her exercises crept into conversation quite a bit. Anyway, Pam says I can check out Jill's ass and find out what she's doing exercise-wise if I help her get some of Jill's stuff moved.

I have an excellent ass and I just have to see this mythic ass of Jill's in person.

So Pam and I are driving an old beater truck she has on the way to Jill's house and we're talking about butt crunches and shit like that when I realize we're doing this a week early and I ask Pam why the date got moved up. Pam gets really quiet and I can tell she's getting pissed off but I have no fucking idea why.

She then cryptically says something like "All of us disagree with why Jill's moving to (different state). She's doing it for a man."

Okay, whatevs. I ask all the usual questions and it turns out the man is someone Jill dated briefly in high school and hadn't seen for like 15 years, only to dial him up on the internet and start a long-distance relationship with him...intentionally...and for whatever reason. So she's moving down there to continue dating him. Odd, because she's got two little kids and her leaving early means she's even having to pull one of them out of school before the year finishes. So she's moving down there in a hurry to be closer to a man she's just started dating.

Like I said, whatevs.

So we get there and the moving we're required to do is actually really tough. Involves moving a giant couch and a full futon down a thin windy staircase. It was murder and so I forget all about checking out Jill's ass and focus on not winding up dead under a couch. The whole time Jill's drinking beer and her two little beautiful kids are running around nekkid looking all new and being completely unaware of how valuable their blemishless existences are or the kinds of life experiences which make mamas start drinking beers at 11am.

Jill, slightly buzzed, segues into an unconvincing excuse about why she has to move down there a week early then moves onto something else in conversation. The reason why I say unconvincing is because the explanation was so convoluted it was clearly a lie (or something like it) being made up by a semi-drunk person.

Back in the loaded truck driving away, I ask Pam what Jill was going on about and I see her hands tighten up on the steering wheel again. She then lets me know that Jill made it known that she's moving down there so she can fuck what's-his-name and get preggers. The exercise, the ass-crunches for the last month or two- the whole purpose of that is so he'll want to tap it so she can get a third baby and, hopefully, a daddy who can support her and her kids like the first two babydaddies can't. The dude has no idea whatsoever.

Ouch.

I actually called bullshit on her because I know she doesn't know Jill that well, either. Then she goes into an explanation about how Jill's closest friends (who she knows really, really well) have been relaying this information to her, including a number of anecdotes she relays which make it unambiguous that Jill is heading down there just so she can trap her sorry ass another man, hopefully a good one this time, with a baby. The anecdotes not only make it 100% clear what's going on but that Jill also might be...a little crazy.

One heartening thing to come out of this is that this sort of man-trapping technique is apparently as reviled among women (at least the ones I hang with) as it is among men. Pam basically said any time a single woman does this it gives all women a shitty name- and she's right. Jill's best friend in town apparently told her point blank that if she did this and had a third baby by a different daddy and especially under these sort of circumstances that, you know, some people would consider that kind of trashy.

Jill's response, allegedly while staring off in the distance dreamily? "Maybe I'm a little trashy like that."

Now I have no idea who all of you are out in DU-land or where you grew up or what life-experiences you have had. But where I come from, and where I've been, that quote above is like the creepiest, scariest motherfucking ending to a horror story for men, possible.

Now, this is not the first time I've heard of this happening. Not by a long shot. But outside of a conversation I heard on the bus a month or two before that, it had been probably 5 years before I'd heard of a situation like that in person.
