Children and single mothers.

 




    I find Will's carelessness for children rather funny, but I also think that it is a bit exaggerated. When he is asked to be the godfather of one of his friend's son, he reacts in a way that shows some kind of a disgust. He thinks to himself that he would rather eat of the boy's diapers. I think he is so self-centered that he does not have time (nor interest) to care about others. Now, regarding his romantic relationships, he finds out, after going out with a girl named Angie and then breaking up again with her, that going out with single mothers is a great idea because they tend to be kind, and they would not pay attention to his countless defects, and besides, they would not be likely to get angry at him so easily. However, I particularly think that Will may have thought that single mothers were somewhat easy to manipulate. Therefore, he decides to invent a son of his own to pretend that he is a single father, and in order for this lie to be more believable, he joins a club for single parents. In this way, he is going to be more interesting for single mothers. He also plans to act nicely until he can chat up one of them and get what he really wants: an ephemeral relationship with a lot of fun to benefit from. I believe that Will is turning into a real stalker from this point. Nevertheless,  I am also sure that this situation will change along the chapters.
