Man Asks Alleged Baby Mother For Maternity Test After Finding Out He Might Be a Father

Common sense is not something that makes sense to all people. If you have a logical brain, it will make perfect sense to you; if not, you will struggle to understand anything at all and will have to use some other kind of reasoning to catch up. The worst part about this is self-awareness: you can't understand that you're being unreasonable if you don't have enough intellect to even have a coherent conversation.

It's hard to convince people to change their minds in general, and we're talking about perfectly reasonable people who use logic in their daily lives. But when you're dealing with someone who rarely uses logic in any aspect of their life, it's the hardest thing in the world to convince them to change their mind, even if it's common knowledge or backed up by science.

They know better, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Reddit user u/puddlespuddled shared their situation a while ago on the r/AmItheA$$hole subReddit, where they explained how their friend Dan, a 32-year-old man still living with his parents, is expecting his alleged baby mama to do a maternity test to prove that the child is hers.

The Redditor, u/puddlespuddled, called his friend an idiot for even thinking about that, and he's asking the Reddit community whether saying that makes him an a-hole.

Here's the original Reddit post by Reddit user u/puddlespuddled:

He continues on to explain how his friend wouldn't listen to reason despite clearly explaining to him how what he wants doesn't make any sense.

Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/puddlespuddled's story:

Doctors are probably used to even weirder things.

Reddit

Even if it fails, what then?

Reddit

I think it would be smarter to skip this one.

Reddit

It deserves an audience that can react to this nonsense.

Reddit

Dan probably got the idea from that episode.

Reddit

Let's hope the baby doesn't turn out as special as their dad.

Reddit

You can either root for a happy ending, or... drama.

Reddit

A maternity test ordered to court

Reddit

It just won't go through his head.

Reddit

Confuse the hell out of him, and maybe something interesting will happen.

Reddit

I support this 100%; let's totally do it!

Reddit

Just a fake one to see what the rest of his plan is.

Reddit

No kid deserves to suffer that much.

Reddit

If you're this ignorant about something this basic, maybe you should not reproduce—just maybe.

Reddit

Classic Dan being a silly little goose.

Reddit

That's where you went wrong: this man isn't capable of understanding logic.

Reddit

I hope this whole thread will somehow manage to change Dan's mind.

Reddit

Dan managed to confuse everyone at the same time.

Reddit

Maybe Dan is a nice-looking fella.

Reddit

It will give everyone a good laugh.

Reddit

Then he will have to start looking for the real mom.

Reddit

Dan is an absolute muffin. That pretty much sums it up.

Reddit

There are some wild theories out there; Jesus Christ 😂 😂

Reddit

Someone has to convince Dan that he's a moron.

Reddit

He's a lost cause; how on earth can anyone be this dumb?

Reddit

They use the different egg-sharing services out there.

Reddit

That's probably what caused this whole thing.

Reddit

The stork just kind of guesses.

Reddit

Dan is the kind of guy to...

Reddit

The moral of the story is that you should not have unprotected sex with people who do not understand common sense. Because you might risk making more identical copies of that person, and our planet can't afford that right now.

We already have enough of those, so let's keep it that way. Dan should really reconsider the "science" he based his theory on because it definitely does not make a lot of sense.

Maybe he is just confused and decided to go with this story to give himself more time to process it all. Either way, good luck to the mom because she really needs it.
