Were You Taught Or Do You Teach Your Children Not To Date People With Certain

[Pat Mahurr]

My mom told me to never date a man with Peyronie's Disease.

She never said why, but she said that they will mess me up, in a bad way. I didn't believe her until I tried it and I WILL NEVER date one again.

Am I the only one who had to google that?

I never knew there was a name for it. Thanks @AHeadOfCoils

(Your screenname +Peyronie's disease is cracking me up right now.

Dont bring home anyone with bad credit. This is from my dad.

I would tell my kids to be weary of the pretty ones.

I'd better marry a white guy so my kids won't have Sickle Cell disease

 

[Pat Mahurr]

Oh! Also, don't marry anyone from our family's hometown because you'll probably be related to him.

good advice. j/k
Both of my kids have sickle cell trait so I do have to make them aware to get their spouse tested before reproducing.

I think more was implied then out right stated.

OMG I'm laughing so hard at this. Around what age were you when she gave you this advice?

 

[BrownieBrie]

When I first got into boybands, my daddy did tell me not to bring a white man to his house

 

[UmSumayyah]

Never heard that from parents or grandparents, or anyone really.

 

[yardyspice]

^omg

You are Nigerian. Stop acting like you weren't told the same thing

 

[brg240]

oh wait my dad told me not to bring home pretty boys b/c they are not real men.

My mother never gave me any man advice. I don't think she would care no matter what I dated. My mother was a single mom and she dated a lot of losers. I think she thought if she talked about what not to do that would be the thing I would do. Plus, I don't think she felt she could advise me in that way considering her own track record. I never liked any of her boyfriends and they were pretty much all the same dude with different names and faces. So, I figured out what I didn't want by looking at the losers she bought home.

I was like 19, I think. No, I was 19. My girlfriends threw me a stripper party and one of the strippers pulled out his ding dong. My mom was like "oowweee chile. That's that thang you don't want". I will never forget that night.

She got up and left because she was so disgusted.

Never be with a man who is prettier/better looking than you. You gotta keep him humble.

This is actually good advice lol.

My mother never gave me any advice regarding men. So it took ca 34 years to figure those things out by myself.

My father said never to marry because a man will only take my money He was a feminist when it concerned his daughter.

 

[nysister]

Nope.

They wanted me to marry someone of the same faith and someone nice. That was it.

 

[reeko43]

What?

I have the trait and whites are less likely to have the trait than blacks with the exception of certain ethnic groups. A couple with the trait have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child w/ Sickle Cell anemia.

 

[Jasmataz]

I was told not to bring home any "thugs".

 

[Crackers Phinn]

Both of my parents told me not to marry a broke man and my father told my brothers not to marry a stupid woman.

Yes I am quoting myself.

@ the bolded, when Nick Lachay was married to Jessica Simpson and she asked him whether chicken of the sea was fish or chicken, my daddys words rang in my ears.

I think Nick's future stupid children flashed before his eyes in that moment and he was having none of it.

 

[getoffmylawn]

No fat, ugly or poor guys. Not out of my "race" which I did do lol

nothing physically...because men are naturally picky from a physical perspective.

I just tell them they need to bring home someone who can hold a candle against their mother.

 

[Menina Preta]

They never explicitly said anything. You just got the idea not to bring home any bums or men of questionable values.

 

[Angelinhell]

My granny told me to avoid men with thick necks lol, she said they had anger problems.

My mom told me not to mess with older men because they have worms, and because you'll just end up taking care of them.

 

[Crackers Phinn]

Ok, I forgot that my mother said this too.

I still don't know what that **** means, but it was enough to turn my stomach at the idea of a man more than 10 years older than me.

 

[winterinatl]

Something about beady eyes, lol. They never really explicitly said what type men to date. I just sort of got an idea. However I wish they were explicit bc a lot of character traits I discovered on my own mom could have saved me a lot of time.

[kismettt]

only thing was to never date someone w/ less education than myself.

and i just expand that to everything. he has to be on my level (or better) in every aspect.

 

[divya]

No...nothing physical.

Stay away from lower class people. That was it.

Caribbean people boy. Mine would say to bring home someone of "good pedigree." Make sure he "have class."

I'll be saying the same to my children.
