The rise of platonic co-parenting

I understand raising children as a goal. I can also see raising one you didnt make as a thing. I dont see making such a commitment with a platonic other as much of a thing.

A cynical way to see the woman in the article is that she went and had a good time with the wrong guy - whom she was attracted to - and now is literally looking for a "nice guy" to help raise her kid. The absurd part is that she doesn't even want to bring anything to the table in return and thinks that's perfectly normal.

You can look at this article as an advertisement. Single mothers and gay people will try to use the service. Heterosexual men...probably not so much.

I already see enough single mothers on Tinder, I just unmatch when I find it out, as I'm looking for a girlfriend without children.

Thanks, I somehow forgot about that aspect of the internet for a minute. Now the whole thing makes sense. Men=>AshleyMadison like Women=>ThisSite. Both are mostly selling a fantasy.

Platonic co-parenting only really happens when one party is gay and the other is straight. Modamily's mainstream opportunity is connecting straight people who are ready to start a family for romantic relationships.
