I think what Dragknee was trying to convey is not actual physical abuse but more along the lines of being treated like shit in other ways. Like the baby daddy in jail thing, thats got to be very hard on women haing to deal with a kid while daddy is in jail for posession. Or how about the dudes that already have kids from another girl and the current girl gets harrassed and beaten up by baby momma.
I seriously belive that unless you have spent time in jail, have warrents for your arrest, have a drinking drug problem, sell drugs, have kids from un wed women, cheat on your girlfriend/wife, and are general peice of shit you cant date these days.
Whatever happened to dating were there wasnt any extra baggage, i mean come on dating is hard enough
