Today, my dad met my boyfriend. It took less than 10 seconds for him to accuse my boyfriend of being a "queer" because his handshake was "too limp". FML

Today, my dad met my boyfriend for the first time. He soon "casually" took a huge knife from the kitchen drawer and told my boyfriend that he's always wondered what it'd be like to stab someone. FML
Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. FML
Today, I introduced my dad to my boyfriend. I gave my dad the middle finger and he thumped me on the head, as we've been playfully doing for years. My boyfriend got all mad and tried to fight my dad. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my parents. Within minutes, my dad managed to verbally sever his balls and reduce him to tears, "just for fun" apparently. FML
Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML
Today, my parents met my boyfriend, and to say it went badly is an understatement. My mom went outside to relax by chain smoking and the shouting, and the screaming only ended when my dad took my boyfriend by the scruff of the neck and threw him out the front door into the street. FML
Today, it became apparent that my father knows more about my boyfriend than I do because he spends so much time interrogating him. FML
Today, after dating for almost a year, I decided to introduce my parents to the man I was sure I'd fallen in love with. When dad saw him, his and my boyfriend's face completely dropped. I asked them what was wrong because I could feel the discomfort. Turns out, I'm dating my dad's drug dealer. FML

Tell your dad "Fortunately for me, he's other thing isn't too limp". I bet he won't think he's a queer anymore!! He might kill him tho...

I don't blame your dad, I ******* hate people who give a limp handshake.

in order to keep manly status, one must ensure they have a strong man-shake. it makes for a good first impression too. Clearly your boyfriend appeared to be wimpy, so your dad is trying to man him up

The way a man does a handshake says a lot about the "man". The handshake needs to be firm and confident.

Agreed. Shake my hand firmly, or I'm going to ask you if you are a homosexual

Is anyone willing to explain WHY limp handshakes are bad? And don't give me any of that "first impressions" crap, because most first impressions are complete bullshit.

thats pretty much explaining the "first impressions crap" that they said they didnt want to hear. and its because of the reasoning "men are suppose to be strong and many" that the father is judging him on

Handshakes are definitely NOT human nature. They are a societal construct and formality. with that said, anyone who puts actual stock into the strength of another man's handshake should get out of the cavemen era. A 5 fingered strength test is not an adequate gauge of anything except strength in the 5 fingers.

The thing I don't get is why people get offended by it. They say it shows a self-confidence level, so why does it bother or offend someone if the other person "lacks self confidence" as is "apparent" by their handshake? Ok, so that person, "apparently," doesn't have confidence, great, so what, who cares, how does that affect the person their shaking hands with?

hmm i dont believe its human nature to shake hands, its how were taught to interact with people. were literally taught to shake peoples hands when we greet them and the importance of it when we were little, otherwise i wouldnt at all, since its my prefernce not to but im forced into the social interation. i dont wanna touch your sweaty hands. so i think its a societal construct. and it still comes back to the "men are suppose to be strong" thing. which plays into confidence. but if im just not comfortable touching a strangers hand, or may be a germaphobe, ill get judged by guys like you

I can't trust a man who doesn't have a firm handshake. Makes me feel like they lack integrity.

This kind of reminds me of that closeted army dude in American Beauty...
