[quote=pri_dk]Like any dad, I am going to do my best to teach my daughter how to protect herself.
But, I’ve always been skeptical of the tough-guy dad persona as an influence on a young man’s intentions.
Perhaps the “dad with a shotgun” may give pause, but the power of testosterone – which makes young men irrationally brave (i.e. stupid) – is a tough thing to overcome.[/quote]
Rule #1: Stupid men like to impress women with money.
If the woman is financially is independent, stupid men suddenly has no game.
Rule #2: Daughters always rebel if the dad is a complete nutjob. Daughter needs to discover herself that most men are pigs.
Rule #3: Daughters get all weird if there is a loss of a father figure while growing up. It has to do a lot with self-esteem. Don’t bail out on your daughter
Rule #4: Do stuff to build up your daughter’s self esteem. Sports, clubs,etc. If you don’t, some pig out there will doing a good job trying to tear it down.
Rule #5: Always teach your daughter how to turn her own wrench and drive manual transmission car. That would put most lazy men in their place.
