Why starving for affection?!...obviously we do have a parental void in the affection department, don't you think so?
Now, "if you loved me you would, be doing' it" to prove your commitment to me;...a line, I have to admit I have used many times over in my early age.
Now, that I have a daughter, I can teach her the street wise wisdoms as needed, and you can bet she is going to get the best of in regards to the so called "boyfriends".
Further more as a dedicated father, I will make sure who is dating my daughter(just like in the movie "Meet the Parents")and I will watch over her for the rest of her life.(subtle you understand, not overbearing)
At some levels, life is simple, it all depends from what stand point you are looking at!
It can be if you let it and you are right, it all depends on your standpoint in life. The nice thing about fathers, like yourself, who have been the boy trying to get laid, you know what to warn your daughters about. They may not always listen but you have experience on your side.
