Why do you give a flying f*ck what other people talk about behind your dad's back or that you can "brag" to your friends about him (are we going back to 1st grade here?!)
Because I've grown up with friends who have happily-married parents. It'd be nice to just have a normal, mustache-wearing, newspaper-reading father. It's not destroying my life or anything...but it'd be nice.
At least he's doing what he wants to do and not feeling the need to live up to some ridiculous "moral" code that society pressures onto him.
How is he a walking joke for dating a younger women in her 20s? He's divorced, single, and can do whatever pleases him. Why is it wrong or unethical for an older guy to date a women in her 20s?
It's not unethical. It's just that myself (and my siblings) would prefer that this girl not have been one of his daughter's (my sister's) friends. If this was some random waitress at a bar, I'd be happy for him. When it's your 21-year old daughter's best friend, I don't see how this is good for raising a kid. I'm gonna wager that if your mom started dating your best friend, you'd be slightly bothered. Just a little.
Is it really a moral issue for you or is part of that you're just kinda pissed off to see your dad nailing hot women that you feel that YOU should be entitled to merely due to your age?
If that's the case (and be honest with yourself) then start working more on your game, start strategizing a game plan so that YOU TOO can date and nail hot chicks.
No. Where do you get the impression that I'm having women problems? I'm good-looking, I'm happy with life and I get plenty of girls. I'm gonna bet that when I'm 50 I'll be pretty good-looking then too. Once again...it just comes back to wanting to have a normal dad.
And maybe you should talk to your dad for some advice so that when you're 50 you'll be going out with some of your son's hot friends in their 20s !
Hey, when it comes to stock tips and investments, I'll ask my dad for advice until I'm blue in the face. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, women or otherwise, he's not the guy for the job. You're just gonna have to trust me on that one.
This all just comes back to me wanting to have a regular dad. Now, you could just say to me "What is regular?" "What is normal." Maybe you grew up with "normal" parents...and maybe it sucked. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about because I didn't have "normal" married parents. But I've seen plenty of friends with "normal" married, car-fixing, bass-fishing dads, and I occasionally get envious of that.
So while it's okay for my single dad to date any girl he wants, you'd think that he could hold off on his daughter's friend. That's not asking too much, right? There are situations in life when you say "No, I'll pass on this girl."...maybe she's a friend's ex. Maybe she's your coworker. I'm just thinking, it'd be nice if a guy could say, "No, I won't date my daughter's friend."
