A U.S.-based single mother, Tyian Powell, has gone viral after sharing her experience with a man who abruptly ended their date upon learning she had six children.
She said their conversations had been light and cordial over the phone, with both parties agreeing to save more personal discussions for their first date.
Powell explained that she tried to reassure him, pointing out that she had her life together, was attractive, and that the number of children she had shouldn’t be a deterrent.
She wrote:
“So I’ve been talking to a guy for about a week, and we went on our first date yesterday. We had small talk over the phone and agreed to have deeper conversations in person.
“The date was going well until we discussed kids. I told him I have 6 kids, and his mood changed. I asked him what’s wrong, and he said a woman with 6 kids isn’t ideal for him.
“I explained that I have my life together, I’m attractive, and the number of kids I have shouldn’t matter. I also said maybe he’s not man enough for a woman of my caliber. He then got up and left without paying for the meal!”
