What state forces men to pay the least amount of child support?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Right now I live in Chicago, and the child support laws here are crazy. They take out 20 percent of your NET income for one child, regardless of how much you make or how much your spouse makes. So if you make 500k a year gross, 309k net after taxes/social security/etc, you have to throw down over 60k a year for a kid (basically equal to another 100k+ salary before taxes for the mother), which is ridiculous.

Anyone know what states have the best deals for men, as far as child support goes?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
