Relationship Asking for Dad's permission to marry daughter yay or nay?!

[Simple Southerner]

There was an article in the Miami herald recently saying around 47% of grooms asked for permission from the bride's father before proposing.

Did the married guys on sherdog ask for permission before proposing?

My girlfriend has told me that I might have to ask her father's permission before I propose

its 2021 and I imagine this isnt that common anymore

If its cultural, then I understand.

is it really??! So I shouldn't then lol

 

[Gus Fring]

I always thought that was common practice

What if it’s the girls second or fourth marriage? That’s the real question here

 

[Cherry Brigand]

Yes you should. If I was her father I'd kick your ass for not asking and then bury you in the desert casino style...still squirming and breathing in the dirt I cover your low life ass with.

Let them Bang!

I did. It was awkward as shit but I did.

 

[MusterX]

Real men do.

Permission? If he says no are you going to leave? I could see talking about your intentions if you two get on with one another, but otherwise it's between your gf and you.

If you can wrestle and pin the dad to the ground he’ll know you’re an Alpha male and let you take his daughter as your wife.

I dont need someones permission to do what we want. He doesnt own her, this isnt 1134....

 

[kahiljabroni]

It shows respect...do it pussy

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

I definitely would have no problem honoring that tradition.

Exactly. It's a respect thing, so I think it's fine and maybe even good to do. But it's not like if he said no it's going to make any difference.

 

[Omegaboy13]

I didn't, and don't really care about his feelings. I'm not marrying him.

 

[Preston Jarrett]

Nah. I get why people do, but if you’re two consenting adults, then you do what you want to, familial approval be damned. If her dad has a problem with it - or any parent for that matter - they need to take a step back and realize it’s not their decision to make.

I guess I’d say it’s a courtesy but far from a necessity.

Oh fuck no. What is this the 1950's?

 

[Fedorgasm]

I can't wait till some dude asks me if he can propose to my daughter.

I'll sit there cleaning my shotgun and tell him no. And threaten to kill him if he does it anyway.

That way, if he asks her anyway then I'll know he really loves her since he's risking his life.

But then again, it could also mean he's not afraid of me, which would be a problem.

Maybe I'll kick his ass before the wedding just to be on the safe side.

There was this cute Indian chick that would only deal with me at work. She was a student at UT. She was way too nice and innocent for me. Anyhow, she comes into work as usual, but she's with her father this time. The guy immediately asks me about my intentions with his daughter. I told him I didn't have any. Then, he asks about my level of education. I entertain the man. He mentions how I am not fit for his daughter. I was too confused to be offended. He walks over to his daughter and says something to her in Hindi. She starts to cry and they leave. I never saw her again.
