Get the I was not familiar with your gamemug. 
I don't want a relationship. I'm not blaming all of my problems on women. I'm pretty sure I am pretty explicit about is causing the. Women likely don't like the things I've said and are using being raped by men who are not me (because I haven't raped anyone) as a pretext to prevent me from getting justice for my thing. But that's only until people start doing to them what they are doing to me and then apparently they have a breakdown on their YouTube channel and cry about it. And then they are at the mercy of the people who are trying to split the baby on the issue and that didn't work out all that well for the guy who killed your senators or the guy who tried to shoot Trump in the head. So, no. You are to blame for not fucking me because you are selecting how you are selecting and if you've have had causal sex then I don't need to have a relationship.
Hym "So no I don't do that. You are to blame in direct proportion to whatever extent you can be blamed which is A NON-ZERO SUM. You are trying to condition our relationship to me in a manner that renders me either a fuck-boy or a relationship guy and I refuse to be one of those things. And that's why the men aren't dating anyone. You have a little internal caste system. They aren't willing to be second class citizens. You are a volatile commodity that prices itself arbitrarily."

Get the No I don'tmug. The ultimate trump card. When you're down and out it's the last defense you have against people trying to justify your repositioning in society.
Hym "A prime example of the 'I have kids' defense is KRISTI NOEM. In her interview after it was revealed that she shot her own dog, she DESPERATELY tried to employ this defense before being shoved out of the spotlight. 'I'm a mother! I wanna go upies! Not downies! Nooooooooooo!' Heheheheh... And a more recent example is Andrew Tate's interview after getting out recently. 'I have kids! I'm supposed to be able to do whatever I want! Anything and everything is justifiable when you have kids!' Ha! It's ALWAYS THE CASE! He stole? He had to steal for the kids! Why does policy need to change? The kids? Why did we bomb those kids? The kids of course. But your kids are just you. Nothing changed when you had them. Maybe, socially, you moved into the class of people that other people have to give a shit about by way of extension. That's not real a change though. Your kids = You. Their inflated value exists only in relationship to you. Saying 'MY kids are more important than anything' is no different that saying 'I'm more important than anything.' You. Same thing."

Get the The 'I have kids' defensemug. This is the phrase that you want to use when you just want to be an annoying little shit. This phrase is mostly used with a high pitched and loud voice. If you want to just annoy someone, saying this is the best way.

Get the UM, I LIKE... PINEAPPLESmug. It sounds like it means "I don't know", but it actually just means "I don't have no as my answer", so you might still have an answer; it would just have to be something other than no.

Get the I don't nomug. I was in fear of my safety is a term commonly used as a blanket defense by a police or law enforcement officer to justify use of force against a civilian or other person. Historically, this defense carries a very low burden of proof from the officer or department. ©2021/Rdee
