was a dick to me as a kid and now is trying to be buddy-buddy

he played a lot of sports when he was young, self admitted jock in high school. played a few pick up games post college, including tennis. coached girls basketball high school team.

settled down, got fat, weak, horrible posture. all downhill from there. used to get pent up, working in the office for 12+ hours, stiff and tight. used to take it out on us kids.

my whole life he barely spoke, just sat in the lazy boy chair and watched sports. now i fucking hate sports.

He's a good man. I love him

This.
I think mine is on the spectrum and is also a closet homosexual despite his open homophobia. He is whipped in every relationship he has been in. Nobody, not even his own children respect him. He is a failure as a man, a father and just a human being in general.

He has fat around him but has alot of mucle and is very strong 2 meter guy, a total fudd but a respectable human being overall.

Never gonna make it L*plander

Was a national hockey champion before he got a really nice job and moved around ( hockey doesnt really pay well outside of the US ). Very hard working and stayed extremely fit and still competes in local cycling events.

Are you sure you are not confusing being hard on you with being a dick? Dont know the context of course but it's very common.

>getting a bit fat though i want him to live longer
Almost the same, want my Dad to live longer but he drinks a lot and is getting skinnier in the arms and legs which isn't good.

I got a job recently so I took him on a trip to Poland, he said that no one had offered to pay for his holiday before and he was thankful. I'll take him to St Petersburg next.

Do you live in eastern Europe?

He is not perfect, but he is a good man.

I am trying to convince him to lift some weights.

No, I'm a bong. He's travelled a lot but mostly to hellholes for dangerous stuff. So while I can I want him to go somewhere he wants

He was a gigachad track and field athlete, 1st team in football (AFL) and had AFL clubs talking to his parents (my grandparents) about going pro.
He was 16, walking home from school with his gf when a car flew around the corner straight towards them. Pushed gf out of the way and took 100% of the impact, breaking both legs and arms, ending any aspirations of being an athlete. Learned to play 5 musical instruments and toured the world in a symphony orchestra, met a physiotherapist (my mother) and got married. Then it went to shit.

Construction worker with the grip of a god. But he's short and very secretive with his life and such.

This ain't my dad nigga,
That's Marcus Ripple-Tits

Fat, reserved, complacent in IT.

Height mogs me, workaholic, very conservative, played sports and remained active until recently, particular about his diet and now he's helping me get a job after graduation.

I'm closer to him now than I've pretty much ever been, but still a bit resentful because of divorce and all that. Made life much harder than it should have been. Also a bit bitter since he didn't really "raise" me, I just saw him first on weekends and then like one weekend a month once he moved to a different state.

a 60 years old slimy argentinian. spent his youth in the most hedonistic way possible. doing coke, fucking hookers, scamming loosers and such. his sons are infinitely better than him. he's almost like Pavlovich karamazov. hell, even his name is Pablo

Also my Dad

alcoholic who beat my mother and idolised lenin
havent talked to him in like 4 years

NO wonder Jow Forums and American life is so terrible. You probably think your dad is a good guy. He's a piece of shit deadbeat dad. He should have never had you and he deserves to die.

My dad had biceps like baseballs. He was very strong and did a lot of DIY stuff despite his reumatism. He kept pigeons in coops he built himself. They looked like small houses and were nice enough to live in. In fact, I used one as a clubhouse. He died of cancer at the age of 57 in 1998 when I was 12.

If I ever start a family and get a house with a big garden i'll build a huge chickencoop i'll also put rabbits in. After one my dads coolest projects. He had a bit of a farmer/hunter mentality. He knew how to slaughter and prepare animals. So we often ate fresh chicken, rabbit and even pigeon. (unlike city pigeons these were disease free.) Also an excellent chef.

My father is a faggot who left me even before i was born. Now my real Dad (grandfather) was a great man, lived a life of struggle being a miner but that gave him a strong body, he lived 88 years never having to use a wheelchair or nothing, responsible, smart, christian man who formed a group of cyclists from his church and traveled in his bike to a lot of places to talk about Jesus and stuff. God damm i miss him so much, he always greeted me with a hug.

I don't blame him. He was destined for a 6 figure salary sports career until he performed a genuine act of self sacrifice and saved someone he loved from serious injury or death. He then switched lanes and became successful in something completely different whilst maintaining very good fitness, and married a smart and successful woman when he was 28, having banged his way through all the chicks he could want for the past 10 years.

Raising a genetic failure of a child would have been heartbreaking, and to put so much effort into your kid and see him trying so hard and still failing miserably at everything.........I'd resent me too.
I'm his legacy, and that's something I will remember forever, and something he will never let me forget.

He could've made a man out of me, but was sabotaged by my mom at every turn. She loves me to bits, as I love her, but she was clueless on parenting and knew nothing about disciplining me. The only time she did something right was the time she hit me for doing something I shouldn't have - and I sure as shit didn't do it again.
Now I'm in my late 20s and slowly learning how to become the man my dad was trying to raise. I can tell he's getting more proud of me by the day, and it feels good.
He's still a fucking boomer when it comes to politics and he and I will never see eye to eye there.

Relax autist. Was he a good father? Probably not, but I wouldn't call him deadbeat. He's always had a presence in my life, just lacked that daily influence that makes a lasting impact. I was a video game playing autist through highschool so we didn't have much to bond over until I basically taught myself how to be a man. He used to give me a hard time about it and I don't think he made the connection that a lack of a daily masculine figure in one's life tends to make feminine losers.

he was a criminal who happened to rape my mom, and here i am lurking on /fit

Left when I was like 4 years old

Came back when I was 15 (not in a relationship with my mother, but he was actually staying in contact with me) and I actually started getting close to him

5 months later leaves again and I haven't seen him in 8 years

Huge loser drug addict, probably the reason I'm so fucked mentally and depressed and have no confidence

lmao, grow balls and beat him to death

>Pretty fat guy for all my life
>Almost died when I was in high school partially because his weight
>Pushes me to not stop working out because he wishes he didn't stop
Most of my immediate family is unhealthy. Makes me take all of this more seriously

>knocked up my mum when he decided to have an affair
>left before I was born probably because of shame
>manlet
I think that's all you need to know bois.

I have no idea where he lives, he is off the grid and could already be dead

Lumbering autistic beast of a man, a good 6 inches taller than I. Was extremely depressed when I was growing up, destroyed his mind with Fox News and now is a 75 year old shitlord posting crooked hillary memes on facebook in current year.

Some people call surrogate or step fathers cucks but choosing to be a father for a child who really needs one is a very noble thing.

Everything I don't want to be.

Diseased incels aren't "people"

Havn't seen him since i was 14. He was an alcoholic, beat his wife, didn't know how to read or write, was balding at 40-ish, was a coward, our cough always smelled like poop because of him.

tall guy,6'1, happy and caring till cancer came busting through, he became angry with life, he already had a terrible childhood, now he had to fight for his life.

he basically destroyed my self esteem as a child, could've been a 12 slayer if he didn't gave me feel of endless fear from everything, but overall i still loved him, down to his very core.

he died when i was 16, left me heart broken and sad but i pulled through, lost some weight, started dating, had sex the same year (inserted the penis once or twice because i didn't had a condom, still counts it as sex) and since then my life been sad and weird, lots of ups, lots of girls and downs, i'm 19 now, still looking to fix my life , getting thinner, becoming more social,finding a job and thinking about uni.

but RN it's a sad feeling.

choosing it is noble but being forced into it isn't. if your wife cheats on you and gets pregnant from some other guy but you stay and raise that kid because you're too much of a pussy to leave, you're a cuck. if you choose to raise your grandkid or adopt some kid because you want to, you're not.

Rekt

Your dad was Al Bundy?

Very complicated person, emotionally blunt, but really kind, good with math and biology, big ego. Also always was a spineless coward and didn't wanted to die virgin, so he settled for a first hoe he met, that gave a birth to me, and later on ruined his life completely. After that, he got really fat, depressed, stressed, and ended up with insomnia, which led him to barely being able tell a sentence without making a mistake.

Very Catholic, like me. Very, very smart, also amazing athlete. Third fastest football player in South Florida before he shattered his wrists. Honestly could have gone to the league although he didn't realize it at the time. His brother was scouted by major league teams as a catcher before he walked away for good. Now he's obsessed with golf which also led to my obsession with it. Very nice but self destructive with diet. I keep trying to convince him to follow me on the Snake Diet but he thinks I'm anorexic. He's never drank, smoked, or swore in his life.

he's in a better place senpai, wherever he is

>tell me about your dad, Jow Forums
He was a bully, and closeted racist, and not-so-closeted sexist, stubborn, and verbally/physically abusive all of us, including our mother, who was physically disabled.
In the end, everyone hated him, and he committed suicide by drilling a small hole in a propane tank inside his apartment, then sitting there smoking unfiltered Camel cigarettes, until the gas finally built up, ignited, and blew his 93 year old ass to Hell. And nothing of value was lost.

My mother was as emotionally disabled as she was physically disabled. Because of her I spend at least the first 25 years of my life full of irrational fears that she imprinted on me. Opportunities for me to be involved in all sorts of things were denied me because of her paranoia and irrational fears. She died when I was 18, of recurring cancer. Nothign of value was lost there, either.

Between the two of them they totally ignored the fact that I have ADHD, passing up a chance for me to be treated for it as a kid, which would have changed the course of my life and given me a chance for it to be more normal, but they """didn't want their kid on drugs""" and assumed I'd """grow out of it""". Of course that meant my asshole father would just bully and abuse me when I fucked up, rather than even trying to understand me (or, LOL, help me understand me) , calling me a '''bad kid''' to my face. Wonder if he wondered, when I was 18, that I'd finally had enough of his bullshit that it was really his fault that I finally punched him in the face rather than take any more of his shit?

Yeah yeah this turned into a goddamned Jow Forums BAWWW blogpost. Fucking deal with it. You asked me to tell you about my dad and I did.

Reading these makes me wonder what my own son would write of me in the future. I'm seeing a lot of hate for uninvolved/weekend dads here and that's what I am, not by choice but because his mother decided she could do better than me.
I know she's going to tell him all kinds of lies about me when he's older to justify herself, like she's already doing with her friends. This is my motivation to improve myself - to make what he sees more convincing than what she tells him.

Got nothing but high regard for my old man

Pretty sweet guy. Looks at me in disappointment everytime he's reminded that I watch capekinos. Has solid calves and arms

Fucking this, thinking about it makes me want to be the best man I could be if and when I have a son.

Carefree, easygoing guy when not at work - he takes his career very seriously. Following my mother, he was always laissez-faire in his parenting with a "Do whatever makes you happy" attitude, which he kept up even as I started to spend all my time on internet/vidya, grew more socially isolated, failed with girls, and became a shutin NEET loser. Never even said anything when he clearly saw some d-tier porn on my computer once.
If I ever have a son I'm gonna be a fucking nazi with him.

My dad is a pedophile rapist. Currently in jail for sodomizing a 12 year old boy.

Alcoholic. Narcissistic. Verbally abusive, picks fights (not physical) when drunk. Will never admit fault or apologize.
Blamed me and my mom/siblings for driving him to drink.
Cut contact with him because I don't believe there is a way for me to change him and he did not improve my life at all, he just belittled me and blamed me for his actions. I miss him and I feel guilty for ignoring him and still I don't plan on ever contacting him again.

>was in awe how he talked so little
>felt he was too hard on me when I was young
>realized I owe my respectable traits to that hardness
>we enjoy sitting silently together now

Died when I was about 12. Don't remeber a lot.

kek... same haha

hate him, never taught me anything of worth, beat me up because he was jealous of my mother (my mother couldn't hug me in front of him when I was a kid 'cause that'd start a fight, as a result, she never did). My only goal in life is to raise a son well and give him the chances I didn't have thanks to being so fucked up.

Retired and consulting, he was extremely successful in his finance job. He came from poverty and he's mentioned that he has always felt like that kid from that area, and never lost that mindset. I think as a result he was on turbo mode for work all the time. As a result, he wasn't around at home so much. I'd spend time with him on the weekends, not so much other than that. He tried though I think. He struggles with talking about emotions and stuff like that, he had the same struggle with his dad and I think it's a man thing and a generational thing. I'm fine with it though. As the oldest child too, sometimes I also think that I sort of taught myself a lot of stuff and tried to make myself in to a man, more than him actually teaching me. The one lesson I can think of that he taught me that has stuck with me is that your word is your bond.

He was obese my whole life, he was over 400lb at one point and is currently probably around 310lb right now. He once got down to 220lb almost a decade ago. I got fat too but I lost a lot of weight, around 75lb because I saw myself at a fork in the road to head down his path health wise, or make a change.

With my dad it's a double edged sword. I admire him and I love him and I'm there for him (and know he will be there for me too), but at the same time I think from his mistakes and downfalls, there are a few things I want to avoid too. I want to have a better work-life balance, I want to stay healthy my whole life, and I want to have a closer relationship with my future kids. I think he's primed me for success though. Talking to him and having him as an influence in terms of work, it rubs off on you. I feel a pressure to succeed too so the bar that I am willing to accept in terms of my own performance is much higher than most people I believe. I've got a great job offer on the table now and I just applied to an overseas banking job which I'd love to take.

It is what it is (another quote of his), I guess.

what did he do to him ?

From what I understand, my father sodomized a young boy. I do not know the details. I haven't spoken to my father in 10+ years. Hope he dies in jail, honestly, and soon.

Cheated on mom (I think he still does) and is generally a hypocrite and a liar. Used to be a good guy but some thot twisted his mind, I don't think mom even knew but maybe she suspects something because she doesn't respect him anymore and talks shit about his weight. He got very fat but acts like he knows everything. Typical I suppose. He is also -absolutely- riddled with disease and a failing body despite being only in his early 50s. Bad leg, bad shoulder, ingrown nails, stomach ulcers, bad teeth, overweight, recently got a herpes on his hand, however the fuck that happens. I guess half a lifetime of sin and depravity does that to a person. He's rightly become a depraved old man despite being fucking 50 years old, and he won't fucking listen. One of these days I'm busting in that whore's house and beat the shit out of her for ruining him.

I can't hate the man because at the end of the day he raised me and is still my dad, but I definitely dislike what he's become and I lost all respect for him.

>coached girls basketball high school team.
based and pedopilled

My best fucking friend. Hated him in highschool, and he seemed like he hated me, fist fought twice. Always would tell me i was going to grow up and realize he was right all along. Turns out I did, I love that man more than anyone on this earth. I’m going to be bed ridden with grief when he finally croaks.

same, out of couriosity what kinda person have you all become without a dad, mine left at 5 and i turned out decent mostly

why is a fitness coach fat

My dad beat me as a kid and now he's trying to be buddy-buddy too. He's not even apologised for how he treated me, but frankly I don't care. He's tiny compared to me, and emasculated, and a career cuck through and through, and he's simply not a threat to me or to anybody. No idea why he treated me the way he did and I probably will never know, but the important thing is to learn from his mistakes before I repeat them.

I love my dad and he's great.

He's super stoic and quiet but very smart. He always puts his family first and despite being in his 70's he still does long backpacking trips, bike rides, and stays active.

he died in a plane crash when i was a couple months old. i wasn't allowed to go around any of his family. instead i was left with my alcoholic mother who is also a legitimate skitzo. she recently got released from the hospital because she tried to kill herself again. dad, help!

im pretty sure this is what happens to ricky's dad in TPB, minus colorado

father is pretty shitty. he provided well financially during my life but everything else, he was terrible. always hit me as a kid as punishment. has hit my mom a few times during my life. extremely narcissistic and hypocritical, just criticizes everyone and thinks he's great but then if you criticize him for anything or do his behavior back at him he gets furious. extremely short temper. spent most of my childhood threatening us with divorce and leaving us, but me and my mom have always hated him and celebrated when he went on business trips. no idea why they never divorced. never seen him have a friend in my entire life, almost always refused to do activities with me, never taught me any skills at all.

i feel bad for my parents for me ending up a completely worthless incel loser at 27 but part of me thinks it was always gonna happen, i kinda turned into a copy of him.
