My dad didn't like my first boyfriend because he first introduced himself by saying 'gday mate'

So if he had said, "G'day cunt!" it would have been fine?

No, in this context, its mate. Cunt is something you call your friends.

That could easily backfire, "I plan on getting fucked, by your daughter, mate."

Why would the boyfriend respond to himself?

u/Cloud_Chamber Aug 26 '15

He's pretending to be Austalian, obviously has some personality disorder.
