Why do dads wanna arm wrestle with their daughter's boyfriend?

I think it’s to see if they are a better man for their daughter that’s going replace their daughters safety net, basically to see if you mean it and are strong enough to replace their fathers

It is all garbage Caveman stuff.

However, it always is interesting when I say to any potential boyfriend courting one of my girls, "No, I haven't arm wrestled, since I broke a bloke's arm doing it."

Because I am slightly built they always laugh. I don't because it is true:)

Seems a bit outdated. My dad and husband just play video games or fish when they need to be competitive with one another. 😂

If they do it, I would think it's to show dominance. That I can beat you, so remember that when you take my little girl out, that if you hurt her, I CAN BEAT YOU! :D

Because modern times have made it difficult to rip up vegetation and paw at the dirt.

He makes it sure her daughter got a vigorous and tough guy.

To control the boy

Do they?

dads don't like loosing their daughter to a guy.

Mine never did that, thankfully. 😳
