She became pregnant, but the relationship didn’t work out.
You don’t just BECOME pregnant :)
You BECOME a year older on your birthday. Nothing you have to do there :)
You have sex with someone, hope they don’t have a disease, know they’re a mess (look where she met him) but don’t care.
I’m 51. In my lifetime I’ve had THREE women ask me to have kids with them.
Instead I waited and waited until I had enough money and a certain stature at my company and then got a head injury and that was that :)
I DON’T regret not having kids with those women.
My pop was GREAT and still I was ####ed up for about 8 years after he died. I was 14 at the time.
NO FATHER or an absent or non caring father is just as bad. Maybe worse. I know my father loved me.
STOP doing this, women!!!
Not FR women, of course.
It is SELFISH to have a kid because you WANT ONE.
It’s not a car.
OK I’m done preaching. :)

She first learned that Padgett had become Florida Man from the mother of his other daughter. And then it was everywhere, even at NBC-10 in Boston. Harris began a painful, impossible task. “Please can you please remove the post about Ben Padgett,” she wrote to one blogger. “My daughter is online a lot and I don’t want her to see this … my daughter shouldn’t have to see this all over Facebook. I’m literally begging.”That blogger took the post down. But Padgett’s daughter saw one of the many other versions of the story on social media anyway. “These kids have to live with this forever,” Harris says. And if Padgett ever recovers enough to try to regain a more orthodox life it will haunt him too.
I would think a true Florida Man dies while winning a Darwin Award. But I guess FM do spawn. Sucks for their progeny, but maybe their kids will be like their father.
And be proud to be Florida Men (and Women) too!

OMG!
I saw that picture yesterday. In a FR thread.
Which was as ugly, gross and perverse as that thing!
I think it got zotted, didn’t it?

On May 9 Padgett was arrested again, accused of shoplifting two cans of beer from a liquor store. He couldn’t pay the $2,000 bail to get out on the petit theft charge and has been in Collier County Jail ever since.2 cans of beer? That's harsh man.
But he is a habitual criminal. So his life must suck.

Watch the opening few minutes of “Idiocracy”. This is what happens when one does get all the women he wants pregnant. And how it eventually destroys the planet Language

If the Columbia Journal Review feels the need to explain Florida Man to US...it’s time to find another meme.
