Now MEN get a post-pregnancy glow: New fathers feel more attractive after their partner gives birth

Women may get a glow during pregnancy, but now it turns out that men feel they are more attractive as well—only after the baby has arrived.

In the first study of its kind, men said that their self image improved after the birth in what is being called a “hidden benefit” of becoming a dad.

The scientists said that men could get the boost because they feel they they are more masculine having just seen a mini version of themselves enter the world.

They could also get a kick out of women cooing over them as they walk around with their baby. …

Barry could shut down that "glow" in a heartbeat.

"Hey! You didn't make that! Somebody else made that!"

I’m always glowing, since I have achieved such a mastery of martial arts that I actually glow and can catch bullets with my teeth, and spit them out again at high velocity.

nothing like the metrosexual media to turn the understandable pride a man feels into something that sounds gay. we’re not women, we don’t glow. faggots and wannabe fags may, we don’t.

At least America hasn’t lost its edge in research.

Good luck trying to get any support monies back even after getting exonerated.

Speaking from experience?

Funny how it doesn’t work the other way, my cousin’s ex-GF had an abortion, without even telling him she was pregnant. She mentioned it casually when they bumped into each other later.

Praise God, NO!!!

But the friend of a friend had that happen - he got tricked into supporting someone else’s kid for 2-3 years (not the brightest light). When he FINALLY got a blood/DNA test, he was proclaimed “not the father”. So he went to court and asked for a refund on what he paid to raise the bastard and was essentially told to go f**k himself.

As far as your cousin’s situation goes...WOW!
But at least he doesn’t have the blood on his hands.

Hmm but was he actually ordered by a court to pay child support or was he just doing it cause she asked and he thought it was his? If the latter I wouldn’t think he would have legal recourse to recover the $$ unless maybe he could prove in court that she knew it wasn’t his and defrauded him, good luck with that.

As for my cousin, I wonder why she even told the poor bastard, mind you this was a while after they broke up and she tells him she was pregnant when they split and she got an abortion.

He paid on his own. He was tricked (again, the guy’s ok, just an idiot) into thinking it was his kid (the slut was banging another guy at the time - and it’s his kid - confirmed.), so he paid for 2-3 years.

He asked for some money back, but she refused. So he took her to court where he was told to screw.

Of course the next act in this drama is that the slut and kid went on welfare, because the real baby daddy is/was a drunken bum who lives in his parent’s basement.

Granted, this was several years back, but I’d bet a pizza and beer that this crew hasn’t improved their situation.

Gotta love the modern day family dynamic!

Regarding your cousin: Either the ex is a true psychotic or she was “coming clean”.

She can talk it over with The Lord.
