Dads please answer this: why don't dad NEVER want their daughters to date but sons can? Why won't you let your daughters date?

My foster brothers got to date but my foster sister including me weren't allowed intil we were 18. Dad said, "My beautiful daughters will NOT be dating! Boys are just going to use them for sex. They don't care about the girls feelings!"

I can never find a decent man bit my foster mom has my foster dad that treats her well. Then how do your moms have good men?

Probably because fathers know exactly what teenage boys are capable of since they were the same age. I don't think dating is a problem, but teenagers do not need to engage in sexual activities. Not because they aren't enjoyable mind you, but because they generally aren't mature enough to deal with the responsibility of raising children because they are in fact, still children themselves. Dating should be fine, but teenage boys have one thing on their minds, and that is getting into teenage girls' pants... or anyone's pants actually. They're all hopped up on hormones that are constantly sending brain signals that they need to engage in sexual activity.

They experience this as the need to reproduce is inherently bred into their genes for self-preservation. This is why it's dangerous for teenage girls to go dating. No, it isn't fair, not in the least.

It's okay though. You are young, and you should focus on enjoying your life and all of the experiences that you can. Relationships will come and go in time; best not to dwell on that.
