Right? Like oh you got defrauded? Well don’t get defrauded next time! The entire point is that they intentionally misled you 🙄

There are certainly tips and tricks people can use to defend themselves from fraud and abuse.

You wouldn’t answer every spam call or email and click unscrupulous links.

But all that goes out the window when there’s a cool dude who promises to take care of you?

Lmao what??? You went a little of the rails there. This is what we call “reductio ad absurdum”. We also call it “weird bitter misogyny”.

The absurdity is that this happens at all. I have 2 kids and was there the entire time for both and cut both umbilical cords.

Im saying that it is possible to choose the right one, but I also understand it’s hard to take responsibility for that choice.

It is never the other person’s responsibility to “choose better” if someone lied, acted, and pretended to be better. You keep saying it’s possible to choose the right one in relation to you, but you seem like a douche, so I guess it’s all relative huh 🤷‍♀️

Ok I understand your points. Perhaps I am wrong. My mistake. I meant no offense.
