all the people i know where i used to live got married and had kids at around 30, maybe a bit later... but all have been dating for years at that time, some even since they have been 15...I'm sure there are some guys that exist that would do that at 24, but I sure don't know anyone like that. Do you? Still sounds like girls making poor choices and picking the worst.
Why aren't they picking guys that don't have a problem with responsibility? That actually want to start a family?
One explanation for guys running away; could be just how promiscuous girls are these days... If she doesn't know who the father is, she will lie and pick a guy anyway. Why should you have to forego having your own to raise someone else's offspring?
If she's had sex with more than a couple, that's a giant red flag. Same with refusing a paternity test.
It also seems that the best solution to all this, would be to stop denying men abortion rights.
everyone i know now in the east did that way later...
but i dont know anyone who abandoned their children even after divorce (noone i know back home is divorced, but a few people i know where i am now are divorced, goes way faster here apparently)...
denying abortion rights doesnt work that way, i leave it at that...
running away only has two reasons: you dont want to take responsibility and you dont want to take financial responsibility...
