Why do fathers love daughters more than they love sons?

The ones I know don't.

They don't. Theres something wrong with you.

[bravo whiskey]

it's not more; it's just differently.

[dudewheresmytank]

because it's just more natural to love girls

[stboz]

Sounds like you done good.

When I walked my eldest down the aisle, I shook so hard, she had to hold me up. It was a long way from bringing her home from the hospital to giving her away at the altar.

We think they need more protection.

[nuconvert]

Don't know about loving them more. Loving them differently, perhaps.
When you have only boys, your girl is special.

Six years ago, when the ultrasound tech said "look, see, it's a little girl," my first thought was "what am I going to do with a little girl?". Now she's the light of my life.

She's been recovering from the flu this week. Monday was the worst day. She was asking me about viruses, and how they make you sick, and how they're different from bacteria, etc. I told her that people knew how to cure most bacteria, but nobody had figured out how to cure a viral infection yet. I told her that it would take someone really smart to do it, and maybe that someone would be her.

She said "but daddy, I'm fighting viruses right now" and I said "really? How?" and she said "by trying not to throw up."

I have two daughters and five sons.

Each knows that they are my favorite.

Love doesn't divide, it multiplies.

I have four daughters ages 9, 7, 5, and 3.

They are wonderful. I never knew.

I think men want to protect their little girls - boys they know will grow up into men who can take care of themselves.

I don't think you love her more, but I think you have that ache to protect/take care of her more than your boys.

What a day to see this, on your daughter's wedding day. Hope it went well.

On this earth, a Father's love for his daughter is the most perfect love:

A Father's love for his son has pride in it;

A Father's love for his wife has lust in it;

A Father's love for his daughter is most perfect!

"I thought I loved all of them the same, but it turns out that there is something.....different."

You can't love all of them just the same. They are all individuals and therefore your love for them differs. That doesn't mean you love one less than the other, it is just different.

Fathers don't love their girls more than their boys, they love them differently.

[TexasKamaAina]

I think that there is a difference in the quality and/or intensity of the emotion that fathers feel for daughters. One of the reasons, I think, is that you can be a hero to your son until he gets old enough and you figure he's on his own; but eventually someone else will take that role for your daughter.

Also, there's an old saying: A son's a son until he takes a wife, but a daughter's a daughter all of her life.

By the way, disregard the first two replies to your post. They're jerks.

Love doesn't divide, it multiplies.

That's a wonderful thing you've said.

She has a wonderful fiance, and I strongly approve of her choice (the boy reminds me of me, at that age).

If I encountered the same situation, I would do everything I could to end their relationship quickly and ruthlessly.

"Why do fathers love daughters more than they love sons?"

My friends and family that have daughters do not love them more. You may need a more 'qualified' opinion in this matter. Do you actually love her more than your sons, or do you feel more of a need to protect her?
