The tough guy fathers are just hysterical. Its just their impotence showing through. Keep in mind in all this chances are the daughter has just as much incentive to be the aggressor as the unknown young gentleman. No, I didn't have any daughters, but my sons do. The oldest has already started the threats and what not.
Now the story about my friend Mike. About the time his daughter turned 10, he was on the heavy. No little boy was going to take her out, etc. She'd have been doomed to a life of an old maid had he been able to follow through. To make matters worse, she was a really pretty little girl. A real sweetheart. So she remained kind of friendless until she got to about 13.
And then the big day came. Not much warning or anything. Her mother announced that she was going to have a male visitor the next day after church. This is Kentucky, we do things like we did in the past. So his wife was pretty afraid he'd make a fool of himself. After all these years of idle threats (if you want examples, read the above posts), she was afraid he'd say or do things he'd regret. So he was beside himself. Madder than a hornets nest. His wife was out on the front porch, sitting on the swing, monitoring all. Mike was so upset he pulled his "show truck" out in the filtered sunlight and began waxing it...in the sun.
And right on schedule down the street came "Ricky", dooly poppin' along like he owned the world. Going to visit his new girlfriend for the first time. His wife relates that she was still afraid. Big Mike and little Ricky going at it like gladiators. So Ricky crosses the street, pulls up to a stop and exclaims "Wow, Mr Reynolds is that your truck? Can we help you wax it?" The injuries were minor, mostly to his wife who fell off the porch swing laughing. Yes, they waxed all afternoon and came out of it friends. Big Mike, 6'3" 200+ pounds lost in the first round to Ricky who couldn't have gone 100#.
The story is retold every time some father gets a bit too much of himself. The story revolves around dad not having anyone on his side. The other side is made up of real heavy hitters, Mom, the young girl and young boy. They hold all the cards. Dad's have perfected a way to make themselves into fools. We all hear the rants, and none of us believe it. Save your energy for something positive.
