We don't all have fathers who are capable of confidently navigating the terrain of not being a corny dad who pretends his son is ten, and being a dad who is too much and acts like he's a bro.

So, if you missed the simple things a father should tell his son about girls...

1) "Son, a lot of the time, I just enjoy the sport of it..."

For guys who are not that close to their fathers, there appears to be a higher chance that they won't "get" dating. By this I mean, a lot of real dating is meeting a couple or so many women every week at work, at the coffee shop, at the mall, at the store etc. From there, he calls the woman up and takes her on a date usually for drinks. If it goes well, they go on more dates and so on.

But for a guy who was never told that dating is initially is a sport, which then evolves into something more serious, he will often consider every girl either a potential/not potential The One. Many times, talking to a girl you find cute and getting her number is just something to do while you're out and about. Many of the numbers you won't bother to call and many of the numbers you call won't bother to pick up for you. It's just a skill. It's just a sport. It's just fun to get numbers.

2) "Son, you can try to imitate me. You can try to imitate him. But, at best, you'll be a watered down version of the real thing. Be your own man."

It's obvious to want to mimic someone you respect. However, you have to realize that you can't ever be them so it's ok to have your own style. You may initially get less responses than the guy who's level of success you'd like for yourself. However, you have a lot more room to grow once you discover what works for you. You'll figure out what that is simply by doing. The trick is to pay attention to what feels right. Are you a good listener? Are you very funny? Are you very direct? The only thing that matters is that you a) finally choose a style and b) accept and develop it as you become more and more of an adult.

3) "Son, closing is tough."

This an important piece of advice because a lot of guys brag about successes in the bedroom that they don't really have. You can usually spot it because a man who's very happy with his bedroom success probably doesn't care about letting you know what a stud he is. The reality is that no matter who you are actually sleeping with the girl is tougher than it looks. Many girls hook up, sure, but many others want relationships and believe in the idea of making a guy wait. You have to accept that some girls you can bed without strings and some girls you can't.
