I'll be honest, & prerequisite this by saying I would be a total hypocrite in this situation.
If I had a daughter, I would be that old man, sitting on the front porch with a 12 gauge, a.45, with a shovel & bag of lime waiting in the big, roomy trunk of my car.
Why? Because fathers remember what it's like being young, hormone-raging boys. Best case, he'll bring my baby girl home on time. Worst case (a parent's worst fear), I'm fixing to go to jail for killing the kid that date raped & murdered my my little girl.
Overprotective? Yes, there's no rational arguing against it. Necessary? Possibly, which is why you error on the side of caution. A solution to this is let the parential units meet the boy first.
Boys... well... if I had a son, & raised him right, he'll be able to handle himself, & he'll know how to treat a young lady.
Like everyone else said, he's doing it because he doesn't want some horny punk to come around and take advantage of you or mistreat you or do anything to harm you in any way. I should know, because I have told myself if I have a daughter, I will be one of those overprotective dads when it comes to her. Boys get treated different because its very rarely that they are the ones being mistreated when it comes to dating.
Parents tend to look at boys as the ones who can fend for themselves and don't need as much protection, while girls may need a little help, so there is a double standard there, but its kind of reasonable.
Our genetics still think we are living thousands of years ago.
Dads are responding to a time back when women were risking their time and their lives to have children, while men risked virtually nothing.
You've probably heard this before. It's a true double standard, though it doesn't exactly hold relevance in today's society, since if a teenager has a child, both the mother and the father would be tied down. Your dad is putting your brothers at risk, lol, and that's where you have an advantage.
It's easy to be stupid when people young. Give it a few years.
Your dad was at that age, he knows how boys think and how they can treat girls. Even if he didn't do those kinds of things as a teen, he surely heard stories from his friends.
If I have a son, I'll surely look out for him so he doesn't end up with a bitch who'll just manipulate his feelings. Because that's what my friends used to do at that age.
i wish my father was alife to stop me from seeing other guys even though he wasn't the kind of uptight fathers whatsoever, he just left me here tripping from one jerk to another, looking for him in every single guy i meet...

He was once a boy of a similar age. He knows what guys think, what guys want, and what guys do when it comes to girls. And those things are not very good. So he wants to protect you from those boys. It may seem like he is being overprotective but he is doing the right thing. You just have to accept it and follow what he recommends.
When someone says they "know what guys think" they're being rather dishonest. They don't know what ALL guys think, only guys like themselves, which is why when growing up to be fathers are overly protective of their daughters.
When I was your age I was way too shy and naive to even think about dating. All I focused on was school work and getting through the day. And frankly that's similar to how it was with all my guy friends growing up as well.
There really isn't a rational reason why society is conditioned in this manner, other than the fact that it's been conditioned to give boys and girls different treatment on this subject.
Tell your dad how you genuinely feel and remember to be responsible for yourself when you're dating guys.
I'm not surprised, he has had you and protected you for all of your life. When you start dating and some other guy comes in, he wants to protect you so you don't get hurt. They always think of the worst when a new guy comes in. I'm sure your dad doesn't want to imagine you having sex with some other guy at 14.
It's different for guys because they don't get as hurt from relationships as women do.
Hope this helps.
I guess cause they know how boys are. When I was 14- 16 my dad was like yours, although i never told him when i was going out with guys.
I'm also 14
I think it's because dads know how boys/men think because they are men themselves. And they don't want anyone to take advantage of their daughters or thunk of them inappropriately.
He knows what he was like at that age, and wants to protect you from guys who acted like he did.
Because girls typically, especially in this day and age are sleeping with guys left and right like it's a race to the number 100. I don't even have to go into detail. Just look at how many single mothers are out there.
he wants his boys to have sex with underage girls but not for other peoples boy to have sex with underage you.
Because they don't want their daughters to be mistreated. Does your dad make sure your brothers treat girls like a gentleman?
Because a dad has been a guy before, he knows stuff about girls
They say that the worst thing about being a father of a teenage girl is remembering how you were when you were a teenage boy.
I don't think ANYONE should date before 26, in my opinion. But, that's just me, fuck what your dad says, and what you say
He doesn't want anyone taking advantage of you.
