Why are so many women against paternity testing if there's nothing to hide?

The whole talk of feeling betrayed because "my man doesn't trust me" is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is, a woman feeling some type of way or denying her man peace of mind is an indication that she truly doesn't care about her man.

[OneViewpoint]

Because she ain't sure either and she don't wanna know. Or she is sure and she don't want you to know. Plausible deniability is not just a CIA thing.

A lot of women aren’t against paternity testing because they have something to hide.

They’re against being treated like betrayal is the default assumption.

There’s a difference between “I want legal certainty” and “I think you might be the kind of woman who would trick me into raising another man’s child.”

[Nikki1989]

So many?

And how many would that be, seeing as you seem to think you know how all women think?

[Asker]

I didn't say "all women"! Read carefully! Even if only 10% of women think this way, isn't that significant?

[Agape93]

10% isn't significant. That's an overwhelming minority by definition.

[Asker]

@Agape93 Compared to the total number of pregnant women on the planet? Are you joking?

[Agape93]

Nope. I'm still right.

[Asker]

@Agape93 In 2023... in the US alone, there were 5.3 million reported pregnancies. 10% would be 530,000. Just keeping that number consistent for the past 3 years would be 1.6 million. Obviously, around the world, the figure is exponentially higher. In addition, women are capable of giving birth to more than one child at a time. So, no... YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!! Did they teach math where you are from? Do you actually believe that even 1.6 million is "insignificant"? You're crazy!!!

[LazerBean]

For the same reason so many men are against their wives routinely going through their phones and computers.

[Asker]

False equivalency. We're talking about bringing a child into the world and being responsible on every level for at least 18 years... NOT looking through someone's phone to see if they're unfaithful!

[InStrictConfidence]

Is it really important?

A child should always be loved that is best!

Who cares about the bloodline?

[Asker]

Have you ever heard of child support and financial responsibility? I would be infuriated if a woman lied and deceived me like this!

[jahaims]

Sane people care. That's who.

[InStrictConfidence]

Yes. Sure.

Is it worth to destroy a family life?

[Asker]

@jahaims 💯💯💯

[Asker]

So, someone is required to raise children that aren't his/hers because it might "destroy a family life"? WTAF?

[InStrictConfidence]

Patchwork families do it all the time. A child needs love.

[Asker]

Patchwork families based on CONSENT and HONESTY are fine, but NO ONE should be lied to and manipulated to force the manufacturing of "love for a child." It's not fair to the child! It's downright sick and disgusting!

[InStrictConfidence]

My parents raised me and none has a blood line with mine connected. They get no money and they pay as usual. And I love my parents. F*... Bloodline

[Asker]

Again... that's because they CONSENTED AND AGREED to raise you! Adoption parents do this ALL OF TIME!!! You are seriously confused about this! I'm talking about people who have been lied to about whether or not they are the biological parents and deceived into taking responsibility for a child!!!

[InStrictConfidence]

In the headline was nothing to read about lies.

[Asker]

If a person refuses the test, it's reasonable to assume that they could be hiding something. This is not rocket science!

[InStrictConfidence]

Why should you want a test?

This is hurting.

If the trust is not a base of the relationship, then anything went wrong before.
