Today, I introduced my dad to my girlfriend. He looked her up and down and said to her, "Beggars can't be choosers. Am I right?" FML

Hey everyone! OP here. Thanks for the support. :) some of these posts made me chuckle a bit. I did stick up for her and made him apologize. It was uneasy the rest of the night but I don't regret it. Bye!! P.S It was towards me. He was in fact calling her a "beggar". Hope I cleared some things up!

How shallow and inconsiderate. OP, be proud that you found someone to call your girlfriend, and most importantly disregard comments such as those. None of that truly matters so long as you're happy with her.

Prove him wrong by pointing him out as an example.

girlfriend's point of view : Today my boyfriend introduced me to his family, his dad's response as he looks me up and down? 'Well son, beggars can't be choosers. Am I right?'

Maybe it's just me, but I figured he was saying this to the girlfriend about his son, like as a bad way of trying to get on her good side. I guess "he looked her up and down" could mean he did that and approved and thought her in a higher class than his son, or it could be that he thought she was the ugly one and in a lower class than his son. Either way it's a stupid comment to make.

Awww, that's rough! I'm glad you realize how wrong that was of him and I hope your girlfriend doesn't get too upset over your goofy old man and take it out on you... I hope you and him can have a talk and that he apologizes for his terrible humor.

Total dick move by the old man. What dad **** blocks his own son?

He is meant to be guiding his ****, not blocking it.

Did you warn your girlfriend that your dad had no filter?
