My dad wasn't a literal cuck, but he's a different person around everyone else and wasn't even man enough to divorce my mom or fucking tell her to get therapy when she was being a nutjob. He also preferred to pretend I didn't exist and spend all his time with my sister because she was "easier". Not to mention his solution to problems with me was to just not talk to me for a year.

He paid bills and shit but it's pretty hard to give him much credit beyond that considering he's an avoidant prick.

Father worked so often I never saw him or he worked overseas as a project manager.

Divorced at 13 and lived with mother overseas.

Saw him again at 22 and he is a total autistic asbergers asshole.

So I guess the 1 point I gave him is because he is a dickhead and thats a masculine trait.

he was gone most of the time and has always been a spineless man-boy with my mother. Promised to take me places and didn't follow through. He supported the funds for my family and that's the bare-minimum any father should care for.

7/10

Dad has been there from the jump, was a faithful supportive husband, made sure I hit the books, and hasn't really even started graying and he's almost 59. Likeable guy, pretty charismatic; havent met a single person who I think could have a reason to dislike him.We never had much to talk about besides school when I was young, but now that I'm older we kid and talk politics and stuff. He's more redpill than I thought, even though he would only ever vote Democrat

My only real complaints are that he never taught me anything about being a man except for what I saw from him: work hard, be a good man, make sure your kids have it better than you. Never learned shit about girls or working with my hands. He wasn't even the dude who taught me how to ride a bike (shout out to Uncle Ben).

Still, pretty fucking happy I'm his seed and not some deadbeat's or cuck's kid. I'm way less fucked up as a person because he was around.

Thanks, dad.

My father was emotionally abusive and manipulative, and I'm pretty sure, though not entirely certain, that he molested me. He used his wealth and skills as a lawyer to convince me that he was always right and that I was always wrong. He physically abused my sister as well, and as a result of him and several abusive boyfriends and suicide attempts, she has developed a kind of PTSD. I ended up a tranny, so either we have really awful genes or our parents really fucked us up.

My dad handles his shit and takes shit from anyone. Even when asking for help from people it feels like they're willing to give it to him because he seems deserving.
I don't know what he could have done better but be a little less angry and whinny about things (I think you get to whine a bit when juggling all the shit you got to juggle to be a great father).

I can only hope I can be as good a father as my dad has been to me, I've never felt like I couldn't afford anything despite us not being rich, never felt like I couldn't do something.

Fuck this is getting me emotional.

6/10 he was there for me when I was only 4, since my parents were divorced and my dad got custody. They got back together later and everything was nice and happy.

Since i was 13 however he became a total alcoholic, and is nothing but a burden. My mom still considers it inhuman to leave him. I bloody well did when I turned 18. Thanks for the earlier years but fuck you dad.

My father left when I was three and came back when I was like 12. And he was such a weak, dumb beta. Worked at like Hess as a cashier and was the stereotypical beta that's made fun of on here. How he actually was able to get a woman to sleep with him I have no idea.

His parents were rich though, so he actually did provide something once they kicked the bucket.

Construction worker.

Alcoholic then suddenly straight edge health nut maniac

Constantly in a state of anger

Never shared personal information about himself or feels, even with his kids

Started hugging him for the first time when I was 29 and had my own kid

I have heard "I love you" from him zero times

Despite his harsh exterior as an adult I see him as a man who is too defensive of his status and masculinity to be alpha.

Betas are the ones who bark the most. Alphas don't need to

My dad was a complete bro when I needed a bro, and kept me out of trouble when I was being a stupid fucking kid. He protected me from my mom's bullshit, taught me how to surf, shared his love for adventure with me, and taught me his ways of Chad-dom. Basically a genius. I can't even think of a way that my dad could have been a better father.
>>

8/10, bretty darn gud

Always around, always supportive of most of the stuff I did and generally a good father figure when it came to morals and other life lessons. The two lost points are because of the ridiculous amount that him and my mum argued. Literally every night for a year or two but they're still together, though I get stupidly nervous about disagreeing with anyone all these years later. Oh, and he never gave me 'the talk'. I didn't realise I was supposed to pull my foreskin back until I was 19.

We get along like a house on fire now. We both work in construction though I'm the one who comes up with pointless environmental bullshit he has to make his underlings comply to.

My dad is literally everything I could have asked for. Only reason he's not 10/10 is because he doesn't even try anymore to hide the fact that he wishes I was more like my younger brother. It was always pretty obvious that my brother was what he was anticipating his son would turn out to be. Other than that, he's an amazing man who treats my mom amazingly, has a great job and always was smart with his money. He's hard working and has tried to teach me some important things I'll need as I keep growing up.

When I grow old if I'm even half of what my dad is as a person, I'll turn out okay. Thanks Dad.

5/10 I guess? My parents are farmers, and they spend most of their time working. I spent a lot of time alone or playing with the neighbor kid.
My dad is very much emotionally reserved, and I've never seen my parents kiss. If it weren't for the fact that I and my two siblings are alive, I wouldn't believe they ever had sex. He's a very introverted guy with a rather quirky humor. Guess I got that from him.
>>
HAHAHA FUCKING 1. My dad was a piece of shit. All he cared about was watching sports and betting horse races. He never taught me anything about life, women, or being manly. never taught me any hobbies. Just was there. I fucking hate him. He s the reason I am a beta robot today. FUCK MY DAD. I HOPE HE DIES IN HIS SLEEP THAT FAT FUCK.

Pretty much every robot had a shitty dad at least to some degree. No manly alpha father could raise a robot. period it just doesnt happen. Beta dads raise beta sons. Robot dads raise robot sons.

"strong father figure", probably 6/10, but I absolutely love my dad, and he loves me.

My dad is the same, he's pretty nice (save for a few instances where he would snap) but basically works 24/7 and I would only see him briefly in the evenings growing up and that's still the case to this day.

My dad has always been in my life, but not all of it was good, most of it was pretty shit in fact.
Alcoholic, anger issues, always had to be right, shouted down anyone he felt needed to be taken down a peg. He was an ass in every sense of the word and a lot of people didn't like him. Although I am glad to say that hes been a lot better, doesnt drink as much, went to therapy, tries to be more understanding. Went from calling me the family failure to encouraging me to do my best.
>>
idk

i think he's better than most dads. he has his issues. i think he's trying to deal with them, but they took up a lot of space in my house and we ignored some significant problems that i had growing up. i can't blame him.
>>
Great except I don't want his life: grew up playing sports, went to college and had fun then worked a normal job and started a family. I can't just work a normal job, I want to take risks and work more than 9 to 5 even if I have to work and risk more than most Ill be happier.

I love my dad, not only is he a total bro, but he's not some little pussy.
Not to mention, he literally gives no fucks what people think, even at 50 he still plays vidya, watches cartoons, and reads comics constantly.
Then again, he's also an ex-jock, and raised all the guys in my family to be jocks, but also good students.
>>
My dad's the strong silent type that you don't want to piss off. If you piss him off he becomes a not so silent strong type. He made me the brooding angry person I am today. He hates his job. He talks to me only about education and sports. Anything else I cannot relate to him by. Didn't beat the shit out of me when I didn't deserve it so that's cool. Payed the bills. Overall 6/10

6 or 7/10 maybe

He had me in skates when I was 2 or 3 (dont remember learning how to skate), and taught me tons of sports related stuff, throwing, catching, running, etc. That was about it though.

I ended up being really good at sports, mostly from good genetics and early coaching, and it gave me an in with popular kids growing up. I was never popular at all, and sports never helped me get laid, but I wasnt picked on either because my teammates would defend me without question. Playing on varsity teams or better and winning championships or going on tournaments to cities around north america was fucking awesome, so I really do thank my dad for giving me that opportunity

My dad is a failed normie. He was in and out of jail and rehab for about 10 years from the time I was 10 until I was 20 so he wasn't around when I really needed him. Even before he started doing drugs and going to jail he wasn't a very good father. He wasn't abusive or mean or anything like that, he just wasn't good at fatherhood. He has his shit together now but it's too late to ever have a healthy relationship with him. I can't fathom what it must be like to have a supportive dad you can rely on. I'm undecided if I want to have kids but the main reason I would want kids is to show him I can be 10x the father he ever was and that his shitty parenting isn't cyclical.

The lack of a healthy relationship messed me up in some ways but I didn't become a complete fuck up because my grandpa is a successful man and has always been very involved in my life. He is starting to get Alzheimer's and dementia though, it breaks my heart to see him lose it a little more every day.

My dad worked a lot to support the family and was always supportive of my interests, hobbies, and activities, always willing to drive me somewhere, or help me with a project, or talk to me or answer questions, or cook.

But he also has anger issues and tends to make rude remarks or outright yell or lose his temper. No physical abuse, but verbal shit is common.

but he also raised my mother's first son who is my half brother after she and her first husband, who was a jackass, divorced. by r9k standards he's a beta cuck or some shit. Parents had me in their late 40s, I'm 20 now, they're almost 70. I'm "genetically inferior" in being a skeleton manlet with wonky facial features. According to my older brother my dad was harder on him than he was on me.

I'm an introverted loner khv who has no interest in dating or sex, so you can see how the "strong father figure" worked out in making me a Chad, or whatever you wanted from this thread, OP.

I'll miss him when he's dead.

Not because he wasn't there, but because he was weak at heart. When he beat me, I could fucking SMELL the insecurity on him, and it made sense in the context of what he told me about his own upbringing. When he insisted that he was "the alpha male" and challenged his own eleven-year-old son to a fight to prove it, I saw a very tiny, tiny man in front of me. When he allowed my stepmom to sic him on me like an attack dog, and then admitted after a beating that he didn't think I was in the wrong, but that he had to placate my stepmom, who was standing and watching with a fucking grin as I was on the floor taking blows to the face, I began to consider him pussywhipped.

When I wasn't even in double-digits and was consciously willing to suffer torture and trauma in lieu of going to the police, even going out of my way to shield him, just so that my sisters would have an actual provider, I knew I was a bigger person.

Beyond that, I consistently learned lessons growing up that he didn't learn until long after me, and he was decades ahead.


He has definitely improved, but more than one of his improvements have been subsequent carbon-copies of my own decisions, and that's been true since I was a child. I don't hate him, and I do respect that he worked his ass off for me and my sisters, but I've been flat-out better than him and known it since before my balls dropped. I've had to be the bigger person for him a lot.

I consciously, willingly suffered through him growing up so that he'd actually have the chance to do so instead of an heroing or going to prison, and it paid off with him becoming a phenomenally better person, but my own decisions are the only reason why he has even a shred of respect in anybody's eyes.

He didn't raise me. I raised me, and we grew up alongside each other, but as far as actually setting an example and being the bigger man goes, it was pretty backwards.

Dad raised me along with my step mom after mom cheated on him when he was out being an MP with the navy. Had the option to get her back, but didn't take it because he wasn't a cvck, which I respect. Was a martial arts champion as a kid and made his way from the poorer side of the rural south to upper middle class living in California. Not really assertive unless provoked, but when pissed off or when his family is threatened he isn't shy to step his foot down. Pretty chill, likes to play video games with my occasionally, taught me martial arts from a young age, and has a reasonably good sense of humor. Plus he is Eurasian and has a blonde wife, which makes me laugh a bit at the Elliot meme. Last thing I've got to thank him for is getting me free college from being in the military and using saved up money to pay for every other fee (besides books), which has left me with zero debt.

not him but I think that sometimes, I didnt asked to be put in the world, but when he talks to me and I want to punch him in the face, or when I remember how smart he thinks I am and how I am his favorite son(his words, apparently I almost died as a baby bc of something I was born with) I guilt trip myself. also I went though some shit growing up so I know the value of money

I'm a student. Appropriately enough, at the school my dad dreamed of attending and never could.

2 or 3/10. The score doesn't reflect my satisfaction with my upbringing though; I can't really complain. Mom raised me right and was strong enough for both of us.

My dad's a good guy. He was married to my mom for like 6 years before he needed to get away. Nothing was really wrong with their relationship either; he was just more of a lone-wolf type of guy at that point in time.

I got to see him every other weekend. That persisted for a good..maybe 9 years or so. After that it just didn't really make logistic sense. To this day my mom and him are distant friends, but both parties have (happily) re-married. My step-dad is pretty friggin cool too; he has become my father figure now albeit a tiny bit late. He helps me immensely in continuing to mature into a worthy man.

Maybe 3/10.

Not that my dad is a bad guy, but he's a terrible role model and father figure. My mom is a super-dominant proto-SJW. She'd already been divorced once, for cheating on her previous husband when my parents met. Both were in their mid-30s and my dad had only had a few girlfriends in his life.

He's impulsive, clinically depressed, extremely insecure, lets my mom push him around constantly, and is super-confrontational about the wrong things while never pushing for his own gain. He's extremely intelligent and has a masters from Harvard, and is widely agreed to be the best person in his field, but he never climbed the ladder because he didn't assert himself enough, and because he alienated way too many people by getting in huge political and philosophical arguments with them at work.

Most of my problems today can be traced to my upbringing. I had a dad who set no example of how a man should act to attract women, and a mom who taught me that men were evil and should never assert themselves to women or do anything that might make them uncomfortable. She's also extremely invasive and prying and has no concept of privacy. Much of why I never dated as a teenager was because I couldn't handle my mom butting into a relationship and scrutinizing and intimidating whoever I dated. Much of why my last (and only) long-term relationship fell apart was because of how my mom treated my ex.

My biological dad was basically a thief/drug addict who killed himself when I was too young to really ever have 'met' him by overdosing. Later on, my mom married a man with two children, who was an alcoholic who I never got along with and, only really cared for his own kids, which I can't blame him for at all. I ended up having a pretty bad relationship with my whole family and haven't talked to them in about 3+ years.

So like a 2-3.

My Dad left when I was 1. About 2 my Mom moved in with some guy and stayed with him for 15 years. He was a bastard but Mom couldn't leave him because she didn't have anywhere else to go. He never hit Mom but he smacked me around a lot. I beat the shit out of him when I was 16 and he left me alone for a while. Mom finally left him a year after that.

My real Father was a dumbass too. Hard to tell how many half brothers or sisters I have. Mom said he had a bastard daughter somewhere he'd never seen. He just up and left one day. Last I heard he was in New Orleans. I thought about going down there and pretending to be a hitman hired by an unknown client and extort money from him in exchange for his life.

5/10

Positives:
>very persistent about keeping family first
>financially supportive as he could be
>often noted he wanted the best life for me
>used to have severe anger issues when I was younger but knew to calm down as the years went on
>I believe he was as well-intentioned as a father could be

Negatives:
>rambles constantly about the dumbest shit like schizophrenics do, like mile-a-minute babble for hours at a time. I honestly think he's on the spectrum but doesn't believe in any mental illness
>even with all that rambling, we've never had a useful conversation nor did he ever teach me anything important, nothing about girls, sklls, etc...
>poor wageslave
>dresses like white trash and takes pride in it for unknown reasons
>embarrassingly stupid at times, he's basically stuck in 1980s

Conclusion: A decent man with lots of issues that absolutely never should have had a kid. And I think he realizes that. I hope he does, I'll never know.
