The latest issue of Elle magazine has an article dedicated to tricking a
man into marriage by getting pregnant. My favorite line: "My therapist
told me it's the only way a woman can get married nowadays."

The horror... the horror...

Won't work! Most men know to tell the woman to either get an abortion or
buzz off. That strategy forces the woman who proceeds with the pregnancy to
have the kid out of wedlock and have a court establish paternity. What
started as a way to "trick a man into marriage" backfires and causes the
woman to live her life as a single mother without the man. Instead of
wedded bliss, she ends up as just another single mother the next good man
will consider damaged goods. In fact this pattern repeats itself with many
unwed mothers and they end up with 4-5 kids by different men and no husband.
Elle magazine is living in the past!

Men don't know how to say "I don't"?

Obviously Elle magazine thinks they can't.

He only reads it for the articles.

I would be willing to bet that the ones they are after have money.$$$$$$

And, these guys who have this pulled on them would be better off cutting thier
losses and just paying the child support.
Because marrying them is only going to delay a child support payment by ten
years or less, and, then end up paying alimony and losing half thier assets on
top of it.
Some of the trashier women will get pregnant just for the child support, since
welfare doesn't pay much for kids any more.

Read the article - I did, and Werebat presents a somewhat skewed report of it.

Here's a link to the full article - you'll see that it isn't quite what Werebat
reported.

Saw the article touted on the cover while waiting in line at the grocery
store. It's not a magazine I'd purchase, or thankfully one that my GF
would be into.

My bad. I read the first few paragraphs before the line moved and I had
to put my purchases down, and by then I was disturbed enough that I
didn't really want to read the rest (besides it was time to make my
payment and get back to the car). I visited the link you posted and
read the whole thing, which ends a bit more amenably than I had suspected.

Still, what some of those women were saying near the start of the
article was scary stuff. "In fact, I'm thinking of going off the pill
myself!" UGH!

It was interesting to hear that college-educated women over 25 who are
living with their partners are the fastest-growing group of women having
children out of wedlock -- especially since my GF may be joining their
ranks in the not-so-distant future.

I agree with you. The first two pages of reading that and I just wanted to
slap the bimbo silly. I was relieved when she finally gets a clue that
maybe her baybee rabies should be second to finding someone who she actually
loves and can have a future with and who also wants those things. Why a
woman would actively seek to become an unwed mother is beyond me. What with
all the proof that kids raised by mom only tend to be much more likely to
turn out poorly. That is just selfishness pure and simple.

Run, don't walk and get a snip asap. Unless you want to, more-than-likely
end up with more cs payments because second marriages(relationships), are
even more likely to end up in divorce than first ones. I do find it odd
though that these women are suddenly becoming baby rabid because another
fast-growing group are college-educated women and men in successful careers
that choose never to have children. Childfree by choice people are
*generally* more educated and successful than childed folks. Hmmm, maybe it
has something to do with not having been married yet for these women. I
don't know and I just can't imagine.
