Why do dads not like there daughters boyfriend and act overprotective?

[loveshorro]

I understand why they don’t and all. I’m just curious from a guys perspective. Also why are they overprotective?

[UnknownReflection]

First because they love their daughters. Further; because they want to become sure the boy is the right type. They want to become sure that the boy is not going to use their dear girl as a sex toy and leave her with shattered emotions; broken; used and depressed. Specially in your age; where majority of boys think about only one thing; unlocking the girl's pants. Because they want to make sure the guy just not going to take any sort of advantage; emotionally and physically and that their feelings are real. They would see if the guy have the maturity of a true love and guts of managing a life. Bravery of portraying a man. They want to see what hands is over their daughter. Hands of a coward. Or a man. Hands of a player; or a true lover. Hands of a liar; or an honest passionate man. Because they would like to see; the guy really wants their daughter; or it's just another station for the guy to park and have some fun. Also; it's important to act a little concrete and overprotective; because the guy would know this girl has people who sensitively care about her; so he learns his lessons in advance that it's just a wrong place to mess around; if they have plans; they better know who they are dealing with. They simply wants to observe what kind of person is interacting with their daughter and if they know their limits; boundaries and responsibilities.

Good Luck.

Dad's have a lot of wisdom. Teenagers are very childish, maturity changes a lot in people. I've been through many bad relationships. Trust me, your dad being overprotective is a good thing. Most guys will manipulate hardcore for sex.. honestly, all teen guys want to do is fuck, soooo, yeah. There is like, a super rare chance that you'll meet someone that really truly likes you. Rather than go behind your dad's back, introduce him to your dad and do things the proper way. If you have the blessing of a overprotective father, you know that kid is good for you

[loveshorro]

My dads not over protective, at all. My mom has 5 brothers though

[king34]

Cuz they remember when they were in high school, they know they want sex and they know all the tricks and lies they'll use to get it, because they lived it, when i have a doughter id probably kill a guy like one of my freinds if they even looked at my daughter cuz i know how they are and how they think, and its also a matter of when ur daughter gets married u pass the duty of protecting and taking care of ur daughter onto that man, so u gotta put him through the test, basically to make sure he's worthy and capable, like imagine the most precious thing you have, ur not gonna give it to someone u now won't take good care of it or give it to someone u barely know, so yeah thats about the best i can explain it

I don’t think every dad is like that, I think that’s just a stereotype that many younger guys create because they assume the dad is some kind of obstacle so this assumption that every father with a daughter is a “shotgun wielding father” tends to spread and because it’s a cliché in romance films and tv shows. I have a female friend who has been in two relationships, her dad never had a problem with the guys she dated according to her, they even got along very well.

To answer your question, the fathers who are overprotective are like that because they were young once. “Been there, done that”

[SnapTsch]

Because being guys, we know what kind is a person the one dating our daughter is.
And we as guys would bleed out every last drop of blood in our body to keep the daughters safe.

That being said, we know a douche bag when we see one, hence it s a warning to treat her with care and affection, because if he is an asshole , he'll get his ass handed to him on platter.

nd its not just daughters, I don't have kids but I will have the same warning to the douches dating my best friends or any of my sisters

[Humbledman74006]

Guys are inherently the same and look for sex. Young guys esp. Most young men are not formed enough in the frontal. cortex to make good decisions that won't hurt our daughters. Medical fact.

We were young, we did bad and stupid things. We don't want you to have to feel that

[DomDaBomb]

Because you are young as am I. Because of this, there are immature ideologies and unintelligible decisions. And because you both are gonna be so young, neither is likely to understand the consequences of each other's actions. It is mostly to protect you as it is out of love.

[Esever17]

Because guys know how other guys think. Mature teenage boys looking for serious relationships and commitment are few and far between. Most want a fling or sex and nothing more.

And if they've had more than one relationship, like most guys have, then they also understand how much break ups hurt. Why would they want them to get their heart broken? Physical scars are just cosmetic, emotional ones go deeper and will affect his daughter for the rest of her life. And with teen suicide rates getting higher this is something he doesn't want to tip her to the edge.

[brandt1234]

Go look up Louis ck. On women and dating. In short it's because women are crazy to go on a date with a man. Like most of us could very easily harm a woman. The fact that you are willing to go alone on a date with a man you probably know little to nothing about is fucking Insane. And a father who has a daughter has this knowledge in the back of his mind always. And he is a guy, so he knows that there is precisely one thing on a guys mind when in the presence of a girl.

[AustinTXGuy]

Any dad worth the title wants to protect his daughter from any harm and would give the ultimate sacrifice to do so. When it comes to dating it's the ultimate sacrifice of those protections because we know we have to let you figure relationship things out on your own. But... its a small pleasure to torment your bf's and if needed, put the fear of God into them not to act like we know they want to with our daughters.

[madgoat]

The boyfriend represents a threat to her emotional growth, is a distraction to her academic progress or work career, and is a potential pregnancy risk.
For years, dad has poured his love, ambition, and vast amounts of time and money into her and wants a valid return on investment.
She can distract herself with boys later.

[Graydon]

He is probably worried that the guy will treat her like an object and only be in it for sex. My sis has never been in a relationship but when it dose happen, my mon will definitely by the first to know.

[JDavid25]

Simply because guys know how guys think when lookin at daughters, and sometimes think the worse of guys.. Mix that with the natural protectiveness of men to women then that's what you get..

[billybobbyjoey]

Your dad knows exactly how he thinks and also does not want to have to think about you growing up and a boyfriend is part of growing up those are usually the two easiest explanations.

[pete213135]

Dad's love their daughter more so they are overprotective and she love their daughter just don't convey it

[billmymane]

I have a daughter older than you do I'll tell you from my perspective. I love my daughter but pressure her to be a better person because I want better for my grandkids. Hope that makes sense

[Partywithtom]

Guys know guys for one. 2 it's probably fun as fuck.
3. See what kind of man he is. Can he stick up for himself or tuck his tail between his legs and run. 4. Seems like a hazing tradition

[coolguyXD]

😂 because they don't want their daughter to call other guy daddy.

[WeirdoWerdo]

Their* We know what guys want and what they could do and most girls are weirdly enough fucking blind for the hints he can show when he want's certain things.

[Berserk117]

Because they were once like the dude going out with their daughter, "bad news"-Trump

[Berserk117]

nvm trump's line is fake news

[Cosytoasty]

We know what guys are like, because we were young once too.

[jansoka]

They want to protect "their" child from other men and they are Not able to give some freedom to their children

[winterfox10]

Because they know how guys are. He just wants to make sure his little girl doesn’t get hurt or taken advantage of.

[justmeseriously]

They project themselves and know they wouldn't want their daughter dating a guy like they used to be back then.

[awesometjgreen]

Because they didn't train them when they were young to look out for themselves and fear teenage boys taking advantage of them

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Because they were boys themselves once and they know that boys are digesting perverts

[Totally_A_Dude]

Boys aren't canabals and if they were, they wouldn't care if the people they ate were perverts.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@Totally_A_Dude disgusting perverts

[Decentguy]

Because they were once a boy too, and they exactly know, how most of the guys/boys minds works.

[Halucinator]

Dads care for their daughters
They won't be able to see something bad happening to them

[BronzedAdonis]

because they've been around the block and can spot trouble a mile away

[FrenchyRomain]

because your dad was 15 and he knows at that age guys aren't into romance, and are more into porn

[Nandor]

They dont want u to get hurt and to make sure he is nice for you

[Reddwolf]

Because we as dads don't want anything bad to happen to you
