My dad has never really been too protective, at least overtly. I get the feeling he and my brothers could have the potential to do some damage to any guy who truly messed with me (the few times it's been an issue they've let me know they're there if I need them for back up). But I've always been able to take pretty good care of myself and my dad and brothers are calm sort of people. I'm daddy's girl for sure, but he's never really interfered in any of my relationships or shown much anxiety over me having boyfriends/sex. Rather than be over-protective, my dad spent a lot of my life teaching me how to protect myself- everything from "always count your change" to "have your keys in your fist when walking to your car alone at night" to "never let the gas tank go below half full in the winter". Basically, he taught me how to think for myself and stay out of dicey situations so he doesn't have to worry so much.
The only thing he's ever said to me about bringing guys home is (in relation to this creepy twice-divorced with 3 kids before 30 loser my cousin brought to Thanksgiving) "If you ever bring home a guy like that I'll smack you upside the head". He was joking mostly (he'd never smack me!), but he kind of wasn't- dads don't want to see their daughters with someone who's not going to treat them with the respect they deserve.
I think dads tend to be protective as their daughters hit their teens because they remember what THEY were like as horny teenage boys exactly what they were going for when dating a girl. They don't want their daughter to be treated like a sex object rather than a person. Plus, the idea of kids having sex in general makes parents uncomfortable.
I honestly don't know. For me, there's nothing sexual about it lol, my dad is just very protective. He'll turn into a wild lion protecting me or instantly get pissed off if someone in public is rude to me. Even when I order pizza or Chinese, he'll stand on the balcony and watch the transaction just to make sure I'm getting treated correctly and I'm a 19 year old female lol He'll let me get away with getting feisty with him, but he won't dare let someone else disrespect him. He's just wrapped around my finger :P lol Idk, some fathers are just really protective and always see their daughters as their little girls
Because they know what other men think. You can't be that obtuse lmao even I know why. You mentioned marriage, but you fail to mention the guys who have no regard for women other than using them as warm wet holes, and the guys who will treat her like crap once he gets it. Of course a father would want to protect his daughter from being used and hurt by someone.
Because as a guy, you know what goes through teenage boys' minds. They're constantly on a p**** scavenger hunt and just the thought of having your little girl as a target for these dogs is uncomfortable. It would be better if not for young girls thinking they know how and what men are thinking. Older women are just getting around to getting the idea (possibly), so some teenage girl, it's safe to say a general statement, is fooled into false knowledge on the subject.
Boys are smart enough to play dumb, making the girls think they have the power. If it benefits guys, why change it? That is what you can't explain to a young girl.

bc dad's know how guys think, ect and don't want their daughter ending up hurt or having something bad happen to her. He feels the need to protect his little girl from things she doesn't know about that can hurt her.
Well I asked my guy friend if he wanted kids. He said yeah he wanted two boys. Or two boys and one girl. I asked why boys? He said, "Cause I know what guys want from girls and I wouldn't want to have to worry." So yea.
My dad really isn't that protective of me though. Compared to other dads I think.
Because dads know what guys act. They were there once upon a time too.
I also think it's just natural instinct for a father to want to protect his offsprings.
Im 15 my dad is protective of me as a female its so annoying
But i listen to what he say anyway😒
my dad say boys and men are only interested in p? ssy
girls are more fragile and as a father who isn't they feel the natural need to protect her more.
They know how other males think.
Because we don't want our girls to become hoes.
Mine isn't.
