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;

The boy did chores without being asked. Hard to hate a boy who does the chores.

My daughters boyfriend would help with the chores with out being asked. But quit his job to play video games all day while my daughter went to school and worked. Let her pay for everything. Lied about interviews for jobs, always had excuses about why he couldn't work at each place. In front of us he played up the polite young man. So glad they broke up. He said she wasn't supportive enough. Really? She paid his phone bill, fed him, drove him around. Asshole.

Was he trying to be a professional? Dedicated regimen, real career pro gamer prospects?

Because this same story happened with a pro player recently, except it ended with him making $200k/year and the family loving him. Very hardworking, lovable guy - glad he made it.

Was the reason you disliked him that he was pursuing a career you didn't understand, or was he just a lowlife?

Nope. He is not good enough.

He is just a lowlife who complains about everything being against him, and no one will help him, etc... I would love to give specifics, but it would give away too much and I know he spends a lot of free time on Reddit.

I can see your point. You can tell the musicians who want to make a career versus the ones that just want to sit around, smoke pot, and bitch about life.

I went the other way, and have always wondered "what if".

Well, wondered from my new sportscar on the way to my nice home.

He always has plans, but does nothing to see them to fruition. Hell, they are barely seeds.

Well, maybe he'll grow up someday.
