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.
According to Powell, who posted the story on her Facebook page, she had been chatting with the man for about a week before they decided to meet in person.
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.
During the outing, however, things took a turn when the topic of children came up. Powell revealed that she has six kids, a confession that changed the man’s demeanour immediately.
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!”
