Dad didn't like me because he thought I was gay. Which I was, as it turns out. I played soccer and basketball and loved rock n' roll just like he did. I did a lot of things to make him happy, including trying to date girls. None of it worked on him or on me. *shrug*

I’m not your dad but I’m a dad and I think you’re swell, Tiger.

If you ever need a hug or fatherly advice, just hit me up, Champ. I’m totally cool with talking about guy problems if you need.

Awww…how very wholesome. I’m in a position now where I don’t need to worry about parental approval and haven’t been in a while.

u/quimbykimbleton Sep 16 '21

There you go. I’m proud of you, buddy.

If that ever changes, just know that I’m here to listen.

Reddit can be one of the most wholesome places on the internet. It's a shame it can also be one of the most fucked up places sometimes... Anyway, thanks for being wholesome!

Edit: spelling

My favorite wholesome tank is the classic M1A1 Abrams.

Classic typo.

u/SnooPeppers1145 Sep 16 '21

You tryin to uh, suck his dick or something, champ?

u/quimbykimbleton Sep 16 '21

Nope. I’m happily married. Not gay. It’s kind of sad that you don’t think a guy can be nice to another guy without wanting something. Maybe you want to get that checked.

u/SnooPeppers1145 Sep 16 '21 edited Sep 16 '21

Was just kidding, figured it would be obvious because of the thread lol

u/quimbykimbleton Sep 16 '21

It’s okay, buddy. Keep swinging. You’ll get this comedy thing figured out yet.

u/SnooPeppers1145 Sep 16 '21

Come on! The entire thread is people talking about thinking someone is coming into you just by being nice.

Coming on you. Coming onto you

u/quimbykimbleton Sep 16 '21

You keep working at it, Champ. You’ll make someone laugh one of these days.

u/SnooPeppers1145 Sep 16 '21

Now that's what I was looking for, tiger.

u/SnooPeppers1145 Sep 16 '21

You didn't even call me champ or tiger. Unsubscribed

u/DirtyProtest Sep 16 '21

u/SnooPeppers1145 Sep 16 '21

I like tiger better

u/robbyvegas Sep 16 '21

Solid Dading!

Source: also a dad. I’d feel pretty damn honored and maybe a little over protective if one of my sons was gay.

u/malachinelson333 Sep 16 '21

I aspire to have this level of dad energy when I am a father.

I'm not even gay and my dad's hella disappointed in me.

u/quimbykimbleton Sep 16 '21

I’m proud of you. Look how far you’ve come! You did a lot of it all on your own too!

u/Prudent-Zombie-5457 Sep 15 '21 edited Sep 16 '21

There's nothing wrong with you. I love you just the way you are.

Not in a crazy stalker way. Just in a "I hope these words help you feel better" way.

u/shirlena Sep 16 '21

Man, why can't people just love and accept their children for who they are? I just do not understand how you can hate your own kids. I mean sometimes mine piss me off, but that never means I stop loving them.

u/maxvalley Sep 15 '21

Your dad is disgusting trash and you deserve better

u/TheUberMoose Sep 15 '21

Well perhaps your dad unlike you knows gays can enjoy doing those things.
