What would you think about a father that made this comment to their own daughter?

“If I wasn’t your father I still wouldn’t look your way”
WT ACTUAL F?!

“If I wasn’t your father

Um, ok, IF <he were NOT your father>...

I still wouldn’t look your way”

...THEN <he "still" would NOT look your way>

What an odd construction.

So...he thinks his own daughter is not pretty/attractive [he doesn't look at her NOW]...

...but EVEN* if he were NOT her father, he "STILL" would not be interested.


*This word would have helped make parsing it by ear much easier.



Ok, I thought it said the opposite, but embedded in it is the idea that it is improper for fathers to look at their daughters in "that" way [lusting after them]...

But he's saying he STILL would not look at his daughter EVEN IF he were free to do so.

Hmmmm.

This suggests a whole context--what was said or done before this--which would shed light on it, but (working with what I see here) I can see this as either

1) a slam against his daughter, saying she's undesirable/not pretty,

OR

2) he's angry at himself because he HAS been noticing his daughter's womanly charms/allure and was called on it/teased about it.



If you are the daughter--or the husband of the guy saying this to his daughter--
I'm sorry.

If you have more context, you can sort this out, I think...

It sounds so wrong. I want it to mean that he wouldn't look at women that young but it very much sounds as an attempt to tear her down.

Someone with no understanding of his daughter’s self-esteem as a person. Better to just say nothing in that regard. 🥺

That's a very weird thing to say. Missing context maybe?

@SW-User No, I think the opposite is more messed up. Both are messed up though.
