Asking her father

[edpal]

Burritos anyone?

Bean and cheese for me.

Yeah, it didn't make any sense to me either. Most and some = indefinite

I did ask her dad, mainly to please her. She's a daddy's girl and including him was very important to her. So, I did it. I could give a crap, what he thought I did it to please her.

Does anyone else find the practice of asking the father of your girlfriend permission to propose to his daughter as disrespectful to the girl you are interested in? It strikes me as reducing the girl to the status of being a personal possession of the father.

I'm pretty conservative, but... back in 1982 when I proposed to my wife, I didn't ask permission. I figured it was her decision, not his. About 25 yrs later, my daughter's boyfriend asked me. I told him it wasn't my choice, it was hers (but thanks for askin').

Burritos anyone?

Burrito - spanish for "little burro" as that was the type of meat traditionally rolled in the first large tortillas.

I hear there is a Club Burrito here.

Speaking of food and weddings, in the late 60's we used to sometimes do traditional eastern european weddings (Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, etc). They have some of the best food you will ever find. People push food on you saying eat! eat! A great gig if you can get it.

I put on 30 lbs. being married to a Greek lady. Yeah, they know how to put on the feedbag. I've been to baptisms where they had catered at-table service...none of that buffet line b.s. Ooopa!

The only person I asked to marry me was my wife. I didn't ask anybody else if it was OK. Fortunately she was in a kind mood that day and said yes. Otherwise, I would still be trying to convince her. That's pretty exhausting.

I read through about half of this thread, and now I can't get songs from Fiddler on the Roof out of my head. So thanks for that, Major Metal.

Went to Moe's Southwest grill last night. Burrito and a big old batch of nachos.

Welcome to Moes!

You know, going through the thread again, it seems You're at least half right.

But that was before anyone who's not on board with the tradition in question where called out as being spineless, disrespectful, brainwashed-by-feminism ass***** who are nothing but a waste of space. Funny how that can spark further discussion, isn't it?

Jesus. No kidding. Things were rocking along fine until two or three folks completely blew a gasket and started spouting insults. Talk about disrespectful.

Not to mention hypocritical. Ever notice that when angry people who want everybody to think and act a certain way write online diatribes about "those other people", they always accuse them of wanting everyone to think and act a certain way?

That being said, I'm not ever getting married, so some of you can rest assured that I have so much respect, I'll keep your daughter at arms length so I can pack my stuff and leave when I find out your little angel cheated on me with the local weed dealer.

You should have never taken her on your buys - chicks are impressed by guys who wield power and control.

Ain't I clean, bad machine
Super cool, super mean
Dealin' good, for The Man.
Superfly, here I stand.
Secret stash, heavy bread,
Baddest bitches in the bed,
I'm your pusherman

 

[nukes_da_bass]

Freddies dead...

 

[Bloodhammer]

That's what I said...

God, God...you know, the pusher man!!

What if you can parlay that into free weed though?

I totally agree bro - the asking for permission OR asking for blessing is an optional. Some, self included to a point, got a little butt-hurt for a variety of reasons. Some did the ask-dad, others have daughters and would like one chance to give their final answer.

If you're going to marry her, you're going to marry her. Would it just crush you to talk to her Dad?

If you can't handle that, you're really not marriage material.
