This comment is So Sexist. It’s also elitist and judgemental.

The same can be said of most young men available for my normal weight, non tattooed, non pierced, quiet, sometimes humorously sarcastic, non addicted to phones or anything else, non entitled, realistic and sensible rather than either toxicly positive or negative, and intelligent daughter to date.

The ones who hang out with their single and/or overly opinionated and judgementally entitled dads all the time. Most of the “clean cut" boys who come sniffing around are already addicts. They’re always making some manipulative and coercive play for sex. They have middle class and upper middle class golf dads. Clueless ones.

By the way, she was raised by a single mom.

The ones I worry about the most? Are the ones from religious intact homes. They are spoiled rotten. So entitled. I’ve seen a lot of violence. A lot of passive aggressive behavior. Addictions and depression.

Guess what? The best of the best and the worst of the worst come from single parent homes. The same is true of intact nuclear homes. It depends on whether the family is dysfunctional or not and how they work together and treat each other. Not whether a marriage is in place. Marriage does not guarantee good parenting or a happy life. Hands down, the unhappiest people I’ve ever known have been married.

Some of the most well adjusted, authentic and real, loving, compassionate, and interesting people with stellar parenting skills I’ve known have been nearly full bodied tattooed and pierced biker types, artists, hippies, people reconnecting with their Indigenous or old cultural heritages, LARPers, or gypsy types.

I’d much rather the Urchling end up with one of them.
