Dad thread: This is my father. >single mid-40s >alpha >charisma

your dad sounds a lot more alpha than you, goes out and does shit for money and manages to pick up chics.
what you gonna run away to do for rent money? pizza delivery boy maybe?

>>34574579
desu I was thinking of moving back to my Moms. Shes pretty understanding.

>>34574535
Your weight tells me that you do indeed have a problem. Nevertheless, you need to pick a career goal and start working towards it, and while you're at it clean up your diet and move more. You may never beat your dad in certain categories (height, looks), but you can blow him out of the water in others.

My father is the type of man to talk with his mouth full while eating, then get angry when someone can't understand what he's saying.

It's pretty obvious how I turned out this way.

>>34574640
Im already much better than him with computers. I have to help do just about everything beyond basic texting. I told him I wanted to get into video game testing but he said thats not really a job that will last. Desu I do not want to work like he does. Hes always tired, always dirty when he comes home (Im a germaphobe)

>>34574731
Well you responded to the right guy- I was a video game tester for two years after college. It was fun, but it's the lowest of the low job in the industry, without anywhere to go really. I wouldn't recommend it.

>>34574814
Its either that or haul junk to the landfill. he says its more important to be your own man than make money as someone elses man. Its like Im living in an Easy Rider movie.

>>34574872
I don't think being a video game tester, junk hauler, or pizza delivery man are good career options. You sound bright, aim higher.

>single mid-40s

Your dad is definitely a loser if he got a divorce when he has kids. Two parent families are necessary for a kid to have a normal life. Your father threw that all away. Unless it was completely necessary like your mom is a legit psycho or something.

Well I like my dad. Hard working, generous, loves art, great with kids and volunteers at a pet shelter. Also years of service as a police officer. I admire that.

I like my mom too, she's really smart, always gets what she wants. Patrician taste in film and music, she's almost 60 and she keeps studying because she enjoys the knowledge. Shes into politics and it fits her very well.

My brother is a really funny guy, he's been into cars his whole life and he started working in a car shop when he was 17. Now he has his own bussiness and he has a few sports cars that he sometimes takes to racing tracks to have fun.

I am a failure and I cant even blame my family.

>>34574923
No. He says the divorce was his fault. He was on drugs then apparently. He is that guy that lived that life that tells those stories. Meantime, I want his guests to leave or eat rat poison and shut up.

>>34575000
nice trips

move in with your mom, your dad sounds like a loser

>>34574535
how is he bagging college age pussy? im about your dads age, and i have a good job, more handsome, and not poor. I cant get a gf for the life of me. is he super confident?

>rarely drink, only smoke weed with my father
>not as thrifty as my dad or sister, feel shame about that
>dropped out of college, sometimes feel shame about that

I was pretty autistic as a kid, and gave my parents a lot of trouble raising me. My mom blamed me for wanting to divorce my dad. After I got my aspergers diagnosis I stopped going out of my way to be social with my peers because I didn't want to spill my spaghetti. My dad never really understood me, and was worried I wouldn't turn out alright, but he thinks I turned out alright. There are a lot of things I'm hiding from him and my sister, and I think if they knew, they wouldn't think I turned out quite as alright.

My dad opened his own smog shop after immigrating here from Iran and taking care of his 5 person family while going to school.

He made a fucking lot of money and I grew up pretty upper class. Then my mom cheated and divorced him and fucking ruined everything. Both parties were struggling and my dad lost his house THAT HE DIDN'T WANT AND MY MOM KEPT PUSHING HIM TO BUY. He lost over 400k.

Now my dad has another girl, his own house again and is opening a second business location he wants me to run.

My father is an amazing person I don't know how he does it

>>34575184
Yeah. He has a lot of charisma. Idk. Its depressing to think about. Hes pretty much the center of attention all the time. I dont think he does it on purpose.

>>34574535
Dad
>Alpha
>Very emotional
>Very charismatic
>Wins and loses friends constantly
>Manages to be cold and logical if required
>Loves sports and being fit
>Chad/Manslut

Me:
>Taller than him
>Cold as fuck
>Hate sports but love fighting
>Average cyborg
>Very proud of myself anyways

Curiously we get along greatly and i respect him a lot. He also clearly respects me as i might be the only person who can make him shut up during an argument (to the point he once admitted he hates arguing with me because he feels judged). Of course i have dissapointed him quite a few times but in retrospective he has also dissapointed me and we both accept that and still love and try to understand each other. Im gonna feel bad when he dies.

>>34574535
>tfw dad didn't have his first girlfriend until 23
That honestly explains a lot

>>34575258
Also something interesting, i might be a cyborg and he might be a Chad but our views on women are exactly the same.

>>34574535
My dad is a heroin junkie. I haven't talked to him in a year. He might be dead right now.

>>34575256
Think of people as having D&D character sheets. He min-maxed, 10 charisma and 1 career.

>>34575326
Top kek! Will use that one!

>>34574872
he has a point, living your life by your own rules is quite fulfilling and liberating

Dad:
> millionaire
> retired young
> in the top ten athletes in the world at his sport
> beloved in his community

Me:
> dead-end lower-middle class career
> lift a lot but don't play sports
> very few friends, male only
> haven't had sex in 10 years

He's better than me and he knows it.

>>34575383
Why don't you just have your dad hook you up with a job?

>>34575371
Oh really? My senpai here says I can do better, My dad tells me things like, "Son, never take a job you cant walk away from." and "Son,you get paid to work, not get talked to like a dog." and "Son, if you are scared to walk away from something you shouldve never had it."
On the siri: How am I supposed to be successful with that advice?

>>34575580
He was a high-up dude in the tech industry. One of his buddies who is still working once asked me for my resume and then went silent, obviously because of how shitty it was.

>>34575383
That sucks but at least you got new games instead of used trade ins from the pawn shop. I admit though my Dad doesnt actually criticize me. I know he thinks hes guiding me or helping but really he just makes it worse. Im sorry your father thinks he is better than you.

Dad:

>Mid 50s, divorced for 15 years.
>5'8", 170 lbs.
>Lives 20 hours away, alone, on desolate farm.
>Master of self pity.
>No neighbours for miles.
>No romantic relationships to speak of the last ten years.
>Dumped last romantic interest because he was unable to form a meaningful connection with her.
>Goes on vacation, has sex with hookers.
>Calls himself lone wolf.

Me:

>Stable job in STEM-field.
>Completed higher education.

>On average socialise three to four times a week. (Usually going out for beers).
>Cold and distant.
>Dumped last romantic interest due to lack of meaningful connection
>Walks fast, stands funny.
>Lonely.
>Anxious.

Afraid I've inherited my dads ineptitude in forming meaningful human connections with friends, romantic partners and family.
Social skills are decent. Because most of the time I just don't care. When I do, I become a bumbling mess.
Largest fear is becoming more like my father, but still longing for human contact, yet not being able to do anything about it.
Yay, genes.

Does anyone feel like it's impossible to accurately describe their parents? Like, they aren't particularly special but I feel anything short of a first-hand experience just wouldn't do them justice.

>>34576080

I don't think anyone can be accurately summed up in a few lines of >greentext unless they're incredibly simple.

>>34576097
But even over the space of a book I don't think I could do it. Could just reflect more on my shitty writing skills than anything else though tbf.

If your dad is way better than you, the fault lies with your parents.

Mom is probably shit genetics and dad is to blame for reproducing with her.

But then again, that mistake is what brought you to this world. If dad was smarter you wouldn't exist.

Just pissed around. I wrote for a magazine, did some club and bar promotion work, and acted in the background of some Hindi movies and local commercials. Dated a bit, learned how to ride a motorcycle, and made a handful of close, quality friends.

I've been to around 30 countries since 2013. Feels pretty good, but I'm frustrated that I still haven't graduated. I was managing a company for a couple years but it tanked along with the rest of the industry. Now I'm delivering pizza, which feels like a slap in the face and two steps back down the stairs.

Eventually I'll have my damn credentials and something better to do than this.

Well, my mom owns 2 houses and has a good career. She says if Im not ready Im not ready. By that I mean working and living alone. I could go live with her and have it made. Why should I do work I would hate? And I dont want stoner girls. Thats who hangs around my Dad. Mom can provide me a nicer lifestyle but less freedom.Shes really uptight. Thats why I asked advice.

>>34576637

Your dad will slow down eventually. I'm glad I was born at the right time in father's life-span to get the chance to really know him. I know a lot of people that have alcoholic parents never get that.

why the fuck would you want to do that?

why would I want that to happen?

>>34578892
Your dad's body will give out soon.
You'd better have a job within the next 3 years.

Don't kill yourself.
It would bring a great deal of harm to your family.

You need to go get educated while there's still time. Do it before your dad needs to lean on you.

When he isn't drunk he is very serious and quiet, I guess we are both shut-ins, except he uses alcohol and drugs to loosen up. I don't know, working a small stable job for the rest of my life and being self-sufficient would feel like quite the accomplishment.
