This is a very crucial issue and I believe that we need to look into it to reduce the tension. When we talk about daddies getting to meet their daughters boyfriend is something that gives one concern.
But let us first look into the life of the dad when men were still boys. Hahaha 😂. Don't you think that the daddy is seeing himself in that young boy? I don't really know if you are getting the gist. This man now a daddy was one time a young boy who maybe had numerous girls. Some he loved genuinely and some he just wants to use them and dump them. Maybe this lifestyle lingered for a very long time before he finally settled down with his wife and they both have children.
One of the major fear in the heart of that dad is the case of his daughter falling into the wrong hands. I believe that sometimes the dad regrets most of his actions then and never wished that his precious daughter falls into the hands of people like himself when he was way younger. But at that same time the innocent daughter may not understand all of that. She may be thinking that jer dad don't really want her to bring any man home to meet him. I always hear people say that what goes around comes around. That is the fact about life. But is so unfortunate that he can't stop the daughter from seeing any man outside even though he might wish to do so. She must mingle with male friends.
Another serious reason for me is the fact that daughters are too close to their dad. When children are growing up I don't really know why it happens like that but the girls get too attached to their fathers more than their mothers. Sometimes even the mothers feel as if the daughters are taking away their husbands from them so to say. I know is not in all cases. But most cases is always like that. So, it becomes very difficult for the father to let go of his beloved daughter to a total stranger who he doesn't know if he is capable of taking good care of his precious daughter. I remember watching a movie where a dad asked the boyfriend to his daughter how much he has in his bank account. He added that if the guy don't have a particular amount he can not marry his daughter. The young man had to go look for Money and put in his account before he came back to the house. So, the fear is who can take good care of my precious daughter? He really need to access the boy to make sure his daughter is in a safe hands.
Lastly, one of the reasons also that I have discovered is that the dad use that means to chase the wrong guys away. He did know that anyone that loves his daughter will endure anything just yo have her. Of course he has been in love before he got married to his wife and he knows that when you love a lady you can fo to any length to have her yo yourself. Sometimes when things like that happen the wrong guys run away and never look back.
