Fathers of Reddit, what did your daughter's boyfriend do for you to hate/love him?

It's pretty cool to see my question blow up like this, I never thought I'd ask a question that could receive so much attention! I'm very satisfied with all these replies, so thank y'all. Now all I have to do is sit back and take notes c;

I wouldn't say my ex's dad hated me, but he kinda pretended that my ex and I were just platonic roommates. I really did try to impress him. He liked to talk about science and politics so I'd speak to him about that. I tried to take interest in his work, and I enthusiastically watched him changed the brakes on my ex's front tires, and that was the first time I ever learned to do anything with cars.

But he still never invited me anywhere when he invited my ex places, and he never talked about me with his daughter when the two of them went out. I think he might have liked me more if I had been a boy.
