 What Type Of "Baby Daddy" Are You?

In the article What Type of "Baby Mama" Are You, we described an array of stereotypes for the word 'baby mama'. So now that the tables has turned, let's talk about the man! . Most times, society likes to blame the woman for not being as motherly or classified as being "unfit" for her children. Don't get it twisted, there's plenty of "unfit" father's just as much there are "unfit" mothers out there too. Oh, and another thing, black men aren't the only ones considered as 'baby daddy's;. Men all over  the world are all consider 'baby daddy's', if they aren't taking care of their responsibilities.

The Urban Dictionary defines the word "baby daddy" several times ( we just decided to pick two) :  The first definition: Usually a broke black man who you met through a friend and had sex with when you was upset and confused. Now you done had his baby and he don't pay child support and denies your son Ray Ray.  Second definition: A male that fathers a child but is no longer involved with the mother of the child/children, and more than likely not supporting the children.
