My dad meets a lot of women online and goes on to actually meeting in person on the same day as they started talking. Like within hours of first sending a message. Am I wrong for worrying about the dangers of this? He is 53 years old and extremely sweet.

Pops is out there slaying single moms and divorcées! 🤣

He have any tips?

Asking for a friend...

Obviously there is an inherent risk to any unknown first meeting but realistically the chances of any danger are going to be statistically very low.

From how you describe him it's going to be possibly being taken advantage of if/when a relationship develops which is more of a risk but still unlikely. Ultimately if he considers the risks involved worth the reward of a potential relationship then that is up to him to decide. Just speak to him about your concerns so he is aware then let him get on with it.

It's more just a generational divide. When ur dad was ur age he didnt have a handheld comp and 10 social medias. He is honestly more comfy talkin to someone in person ASAP, just like u would prolly prefer textin any craigslist sheeny person or just any ol rando for watever instead of calling them. Regardless, your dad raised a smart daughter and he just needs to smash (he is but an ape), so if anything, give him good advice and steer him towards a cool wealthy lady.

Only danger is not leaving any for the rest of us. Get it, pops.

Why post it on men's rights out of curiosity? I feel you aren't going to reach the best audience. Maybe Askreddit or Askmen?

joygasm0420 · 2021-09-18T22:22:48+00:00

Im dying inside at this. Like the man has had twice the amount of experience and your worried about him. Man has game let him play and stop riding his dick.lol.

mackadocious84 · 2021-09-19T04:53:27+00:00

Your pops is FUCKIN ... Don't you dare cockblock.

As long as they are woman his own age and the woman are not “hot young woman from your region” scamming him for his life savings, which happens, a lot. There shouldn’t be a problem.

If he ain’t dumb and naive, things will work out.

connzerjeeass · 2021-09-18T22:15:13+00:00

I wouldn't be worried, your dad is older, there is obviously some level on danger, but it's really dangerous for people who are like, teens or 20s when you in your 50s then the chances are, your not as big a target or as gullible a person

Santaball · 2021-09-19T03:50:14+00:00

The thirst at that level is equivalent to 18yo girls meeting guys on line. I don't think old ladies are going to give him much trouble.

sootlord · 2021-09-19T15:14:59+00:00

Yeah you should deff telling him to be careful. Women dont casually agree to dates this quickly unless they want something. Just saying

Raychao · 2021-09-18T22:34:02+00:00

Oh my how suspicious of the world have we become?

Your dad grew up before the Internet took away all the innocence in the world and made us all terrified of each other..

nacho-chonky · 2021-09-19T02:32:14+00:00

Older women are usually safer in my experience. They are less likely to see men as sub human than the younger women just from generational differences

apx_rbo · 2021-09-19T03:18:14+00:00

Extremely unsafe but this sounds probably be else where. Hoping the dad stay safe

Asmodium27 · 2021-09-19T07:22:51+00:00

well he's 53 so even if he's sweet don't mean he's in any more danger then the rest of us he's got 10 more years of wisdom them me short of being struck my lightning a act of god or a car crash he will be fine

reddut_gang · 2021-09-19T13:14:36+00:00

of course it's understandable to be afraid. it's always risky, online dating. but honestly, your dad is 50, let him the freedom.

rahsoft · 2021-09-19T13:54:20+00:00

mmm.

ok

talk to him about it? remind him that perhaps society is not the same as it was when he was first dating. hes not quite old enough( I'm older!) to be concerned about elder abuse.
consider what was the state of his last major relationship ( LTR whatever), I'm assuming he was married to your mum. If it ended on a bad note, then he's maybe considered more vulnerable through various issues such as abuse( not claiming he was though), sadness, desire for companionship etc. 50 plus is a very hard place to start rebuilding your life after a loss of a relationship.
This may not be obvious, but the older generation have forgotten or gotten used to the idea of protection during sex. not only birth control( he has to be careful not to get "honeytrapped") but believe it or not STDs...

worrying about your family members is not wrong( unless it become controlling). Its a good sign of your healthy relationship with him. Going to say that if you are looking out for him, then somebody parents did a good job raising them...

I know people do wonder if this is suitable for mens rights, I believe it is. Many men who re enter the dating game after a long period away from it are vulnerable to all the risks that now occur just like it is to the younger generation ( or those who were not previously married/LTR). The caution given to men when dating applies regardless of age..

HTH

Mamba503 · 2021-09-19T16:09:40+00:00

If you wanna take precautions have him let you know who he’s meeting and where. Encourage him to get a CCW maybe?

pappo4ever · 2021-09-19T23:58:49+00:00

Don't worry about your dad, worry about your girl friends thinking he's awesome. I realized you are his daughter, lol.
