Still didn't get me laid though
That's awesome, It takes a lot of courage to step up and attempt to change the outcome of a bad situation, especially when your outnumbered and it's physical. You should have gotten laid though, sorry bout that.

Are you a cowboy? Or is "riding a bucking bronco" new slang for screwing a fat/ugly chick?

I got with a girl who had been dumped by her previous boyfriend because she got pregnant. He wanted her to get an abortion and she wouldn't, so he left her. The kid (a baby girl) was about 10 months old when we got together, and being responsible for her was difficult as fuck sometimes. She was the most hyperactive kid you could imagine, always wanted to play and explore the house. There was rarely a moment's peace with her around. It was quite overwhelming at times, especially as I had to juggle university as well, but looking back I loved every moment of it.
We broke up in the summer of 2013 and I haven't seen either of them since. It was quite upsetting as I was dumped over Skype (not even on a video call, through the text, lol) but the worst part was knowing I probably wouldn't see the kid again. I still get down about that every now and then, and some days nothing would make me happier than to sit down with her again, grab her bag of toys and just make a huge mess of the living room like we used to. But despite the sour ending, it was a great experience which helped me prepare for fatherhood later in life, should I have kids of my own.
I have met a few guys that have been in this situation and all have ended the same, it takes a man to accept responsibility for another man's offspring and treat them as their own. To have that taken away all of a sudden can scar deep, deep enough that most men will avoid single mothers forever after it happens. I am truly sorry that you may not ever have interactions with the child again, all you can do is hope some of yourself impacted that child's life in some positive way.
