MY GIRLFRIEND'S FATHER WILL LOVE ME 😂.

I have this notion that a lot of people do not really agree with, but then it's what I've taken to be Truth. If I'm in a relationship with a lady, I'm in a relationship with her family, and in seeing her as Myself, I do whatever I would do for my family for hers. If I'm love blind, chances are that I will do more for a time lol. And it is with this notion I will talk a little about why I think fathers are mean to their daughters' boyfriends…

I know I'm definitely going to be mean to my daughter's boyfriend (if I should have a daughter). It's what I've always known, my sister was telling me about the relationship she's in, and though the guy seems nice from her description, as far as I don't know him I'm secretly looking at him with one eye. If I see him in that manner, how much more my daughter? Sometimes it takes a lot of work to make a lady love you, so much so that even when you put in the work she might end up not loving you. But what if she finally loves you, agrees to a relationship, and decides to introduce you to her family, don't you think you might need to put in even more effort to first make them see you as a good person and someone worthy of what they treasure most?

Every good father sees his daughter as a treasure and thus treats her like one, so if such a father is going to find you Worthy of his treasure, don't you think you must make him see it? This is why reputation is good for a man. The first way to show you are worthy of someone is through the reputation you've built before meeting them. If I am to meet my girlfriend's parents, the chances of the father trusting me completely are very high. I'm not saying this to brag, but I know myself, and I know that any good father would want to have me for his daughter if he's not a greedy or money/status-seeking individual.

Men know themselves to a point as women do to themselves, a good father who knows his daughter very well will know a good man when she brings him home and will only object (but might not show it where she is) if he perceives that such man can not take care of his daughter. But then again, fathers can be overprotective, they might want to test what they know about the guy just to be certain (I'm sure I will be such a father lol). At this point, being patient with the father as you were with the girl is vital.

Remember this is a father who has high hopes for his daughter, if you can show him that you do too, in a way that would not make him feel you are drifting his daughter away, then I think you will be good to go. So I say this, the best way to get on the good side of your girlfriend's father, is to become a son to him. Not foolishly, but with wisdom and caution.
