Why are dads so controlling?

Answer 2

He's ur dad, and ur his baby girl. He only wants wuts best for you. And he knows how boys are- he WAS one. So he's just afraid of losing you or someone hurting you. What i would suggest is having a serious heart-to-heart conversation with him. Tell him you know which guys are good for you and which guys arent (assuming this is true of course lol). This will a show a good level of maturity. And no matter what, don't yell or argue angrily. If he wont listen, just excuse yourself and let him think about wut you said. He'll come around :) good luck!

Answer 3

I'm not old enough to have a teenage daughter, but I'm old enough to know WHY he's chasing them off.....you should listen to your dad.  Many young girls do not have a father, and end up getting into a lot of trouble because of that.

Answer 4

You failed to say WHY your Dad has run all these "guy friends" off.

I'd like to hear HIS side of it hon.

Your Dad is no fool.He was ateenage boy once and teenage boys are just as horny now as they were when he was a teen.

I KNOW what you are going to say:

"BUT THAT WAS BACK THEN THINGS HAVE CHANGED!"

They SURE HAVE!

With girls sending guys nudie pictures of themselves on the internet and on their cell phones, giving b's and having s*x left and right,I'd besurprised to find any virgins who are 21 now.

The ONLY guys who hang out with girls as "friends" who have no romantic interest in them, are guys who are bored with no g/fs, guys who have g/f's and like the extra attention,guys who WANT to be the girl''s b/f or a guy who is g*y and feels like "one of the girls".

Your dad KNOW any of those guys he ran off would have jumped in the bed with you if they had the opportunity.When YOU have a daughter in YOUR position,you'll see things differently hon.

Answer 5

Because he remembers what it was like being a teenage boy.  He is trying to protect you.

Answer 6

Hello,

He may be just kind of protecting you from being hurt by people your age. Ask him directly in a nice way why can't he tell you his reason for every person he don't want you to associate with?  But ask very nicely and firmly as if you really is concern about that -  not in an angry way.

If he gets angry because you are asking, don't ever ask again, just be good on your study, come straight home from school, when you have to go somewhere after school, make sure you ask him and tell him exactly where you're going and be home when it's dark.

You will not be stray if you do this. I just hope he is a decent man -

there are also dads out there that is not decent - they just want to give you their piece of their bad childhood. So be careful and be observant for your own sake.
