I guess the reason why the double-standard of guys dating girls being more acceptable than girls dating guys exists is this: When a dad finds out his son is dating, he's fine because he knows what he might/might not do, how far he'll go, etc. A dad might not have the full details on his daughter's boyfriend and so there's no way for him to know how to act, what he'll do to her, etc. It's a matter of trust.

Hey, it's a rite of passage. If he's a good man, he'll do the same with his daughters' boyfriends.

I think the father did that to see if the father is some pussy

Just a little bit too overprotective... What did your boyfriend do? Lol

I'm just glad my dad respects me (his daughter) as a person who is capable of her own choices. Not somebody to be kept under his control under the guise of"protecting". Real Dads protect their daughters by teaching them to defend themselves, to respect themselves and allowing them to grow up, including the part of growing up that involves dating. Not vague knife threats to scare off boyfriends.

I don't get this kind of behavior from fathers. Is it really necessary to look like a psycho in front of your daughter's boyfriend?

I would take it as an insult if my dad did something similar to a guy I like because it would mean he doesn't trust me and my judgement.

Wait till he sees a condom

now ur boyfriend knows to never hurt ur feelings.

Parents are protective of their children. Love is blinds and no matter how much you would like to trust your child's judgement, when it comes to a teen girl and her boyfriend it's hard. When I was younger, my dad was the same way. Now having 3 girls of my own, who have a very protective father of their own, it makes even more sense to me. While a direct threat is definitely wrong especially if said father would follow through with it but I don't see what OP's father said as bad. It's rather funny to me. When my eldest daughter was 16, she had this boyfriend who was extremely disrespectful to her. It just got worse as time went on. Out of all 3 of my daughters, I would have trusted her judgement the most. She has always been a good girl, straight A's, very level headed and always seemed older than her age. She is a sweet and beautiful girl but this boy was just a jerk. She refused to see it no matter who told her he shouldn't treat her that way. Her dad pretty much forbade her to see him (outside of school, of course) and told her if her boyfriend wanted to be with her he could wait until she turned 18. While I didn't like this "ruling" since it drove a wedge between them it worked out for the best in the end. However before their relationship ended her boyfriend had the balls to text my husband a very long rant message that ended with 'he needed to stay out of her life and let her make her own damn decision'. I was appalled that a 17 year old boy would text this to his 16 year old girlfriend's dad. So again, love is blind.
