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...

Does that mean I'm "butch" because I have a strong handshake? Maybe your dad squeezed his hand too hard to the point that he couldn't give him a firm handshake haha

From personal experience, you can get a solid idea of what kind of character a person has by their handshake. I wouldn't necessarily call someone a "queer" because of that as some gay friends of mine have a good handshake, but I would definitely keep an eye on him, without being obvious about it. That limp shake tells me that he really doesn't have much care or respect, and that can usually foretell a lot for relationships of any level.

A man will never leave a lasting impression without a firm handshake. Although gay maybe a bit far.... Maybe.

I hate how handshakes are considered so important in judging a character. What if you have arthritis? What if you hurt your hand or are otherwise disabled? What if you're sick and don't want to get anyone else sick? What if you're a germophobe? Shaking hands is a ridiculously unhygienic practice anyway.

OP should have warned her boyfriend that her father is a raging bigoted asshole. If not, then he should dump OP.

Saying he's gay is way overboard and inaccurate. I would've told the boyfriend to be more confident and to develop a firmer handshake. It would only help in in life. Why be a bigot and insulting if you can better someone?

Yes, but to accuse him of being gay, just because he was nervous to meet his girlfriends dad? That's just being a jerk.

I judge people with limp handshakes. Handshakes are not meant to be delicate. I don't want to feel like I'm cradling your hand and then stroking it as we pull away.

The most annoying thing is shaking a handful of wet noodles. My first impression is that this person has no confidence

Well meeting your dad is a big step. First impressions are important, your boyfriend should have been a little more prepared.
