My oldest baby girl. They say Maine doesn't have wolves but I know better. Plenty came sniffing around my door.

I've got three girls, ages 2, 3, and 6. Things like that application are cute, I even have a shirt that says DADD-Dads Against Daughters Dating. But in reality, things like that, just tend to make daughters resent dads, and see boys in secret. Talk to these boys and your daughters, if your daughter is intent on seeing a boy, give them guidance, encourage them to talk to you, go on dates with the family, teach this dumb little boy to be the kind of man you want your daughter to marry if he needs some instruction. Most of all, set a good example for your daughters, be the man you want your daughter to marry, so that she won't grow up to date punks and losers grin

That is good advice for any father, my daughter is 27 and truthfully I never had any real worries about who she dated because I taught her well and respected her judgment, those girls that run into guys you would rather not have them associate with is more often then not due to never having been taught to look beyond a pretty face and to judge people by their actions having been sheltered by their father and mother

Thank you. She went through a stage a few years back where she thought she might want to get into modeling. It wasn't my desire for her but I supported her in her efforts. She snapped out of it, married a solid Christian guy and is now a stay-at-home mom. I did keep a shotgun by the door for all to see. It doesn't hurt a thing if people think you're half crazy. I promoted the idea.

She could of made it as a model (imo from that pic) but made the far better choice, good for her. Shows the level of good parenting and morals instilled in her.

I have one daughter that is 12. I was the guy that ran around and loved it when I found a dad who trusted there daughter, made what I was going to do easier. I am taking a different approach. I am just honest with my girl I straight up told her that as long as she is a respectable person when she get older I will always be there for her no matter what. But under no circumstances will I be raising anthing less. She know that if I find out she is sneaking around behind my back that I will not be happy. That's to be nice about it. We drove by a maximum security prison once and I asked her if she knew what that was she said yes a prison. I said your right and it could he my new home if you try to date a worthless guy some day. I may be hard but so far it's worked great she has straight a's and cares about school and others, she is respectful and is well bragged on by other adults. I know how teenagers can be but I won't be negotiating with her later in life. Its my way or no way. She sees how her mom turned out with all her bad decisions so I hope that helps.

Application is funny.
As a father of six daughters age 8-20 I can say meeting the young man with a straight no nonsense look in the eye goes a long way. I am honest with my daughters about expectations and what I think about the guy. So far so good. Only had to so heck no once. My daughter hated me for a bit but thanked me later. I do not screw around when it comes to my girls dating.

Remind the young man when he picks your daughters up for the date that whatever he does to your daughter you will do the same thing to him. That will cause him to think twice.

2 daughters here. Already have my “have her home on time” speech ready. I’ll tlk about how handy I am with a knife first. Then I’ll converse about how wolverines chew bones and all and how I’ve seen many a carcass disappear. I suppose I will have to be civil to two certain young men eventually. The girls will need someone to pack moose quarters to the boat after they shoot one.
