Today, my father described me as "the sort of sucker women marry then cheat on all the time." My mother agreed with him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I overheard my dickhead dad telling my girlfriend that she's too good for me, then asking if she really wants to settle for someone like me. FML
Today, my father lectured me for dating a man with "no future", even though he's entering a PhD program next year at a top university. Meanwhile, my dad's last relationship was with a 20-year-old hooker who ended up stealing his credit cards. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been purposely wrecking every relationship I've had since junior high because ''no one is good enough for her little girl''. FML
Higher standard
Today, my mother described what her ideal daughter-in-law should be like. Halfway through her description, fishing for some compliments, I told her that such a girl would be way above my league. She sighed and emphatically agreed. FML
Today, I found out I was named after the woman my dad was having an affair on my mom with. FML
Mommy's boy
Today, I found out that in the past, my mother has paid or outright threatened my girlfriends into breaking up with me, because they were, "unsuitable trash not fit to be the mothers of my future grand babies." This explains why I’m 47 and have never married or had children. FML
Today, I overheard my dad telling my mum that the only way I'm ever going to get into a relationship is if I "pose as a woman and con some gullible bastard online." He's probably right. FML
Today, after getting into an argument with my dad, he told me that I would make a great ex wife one day. FML
Hot guy alert
Today, I realized my dad was right about everything: the hot guy who was attractive because my dad hated him so much really was a scumbag. I found out after he got me pregnant, vanished, and then learned that he also got my sister and cousin pregnant. FML
**** the patriarchy
Today, my now ex-boyfriend told me that we could keep dating, but he doesn’t see a future with me because I’m not a good submissive woman like his mother. His mother who’s been married four times for cheating on all her husbands. Yeah, good woman indeed. FML

Dont listen to them OP, you'll find a good girl who will (hopefully) treat you great.

Tell them that you're the sort of sucker that throws both of his parents into separate old folks homes.

Like #1 said OP, but also don't be hurt by what your parents said, obviously it means you are a caring guy who respects women and you open up to them. Don't lose that. Keep on keepin on, you will find the right gal :)

I disagree with you, #1. It might not be nice to hear, but it could be the truth. OP should take time for introspection now, so that he doesn't prove his parents right later.

Sweet and sensitive is great Op, but just be sure you don't let people walk all over you. If you know when to draw the line you should be fine.

Maybe the parents are right. It all depends on the type of women OP goes for? "You can't turn a ho into a housewife."

Selfish and controlling women hunt for sweet and trusting guys! Take your time before picking a wife and do NOT let her rush you into marriage, and hopefully you'll find someone sweet!!! Too many good guys get trapped by not-so-good women and the opposite is also true :( Dunno if it is an FYL, because it is also a warning that might save you some grief!!

#35 what a cruel thing to say. "nice guys finish last" is a common saying about how stereotypically women go for the douchey, asshole guys, and if the guy is actually nice and caring, it wont matter in the long run, as we will only choose someone who treats us like shit. thats all.

Heh I agree with #46. It's a saying for a reason. May not be the modern day hippie bullshit that everyone pretends is true... But yeah it's still true. You have to be a bit of a self centered prick to get anywhere in life. "You can be generous after you've left a path of bodies to the top."

If that's the case, and you know it, never get married. Just have semi-long term relationships...

#26 is right. Nice guys do finish last. I'm living proof of that! It may not be a nice thing to hear but it is a very realistic truth!

#35 why are you being mean uncalled for that is very common phrase and mostly true too.

They were probably just joking with you. I wouldn't take it too seriously

Don't listen to your parents, they're just trying to piss you off. They probably wish they could be faithful themselves. Just ignore them.

Turn yourself into the kind of guy that people notice when you're not around and don't want to live without. Be a suave badass lad OP.
feven 32
Well your parents seem like the "sort of pessimistic people who others don't befriend."
