Today, I asked my girlfriend's father if I could marry his daughter. He smiled, shook my hand, and said "No. Now get out of my house." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. FML
Today, I asked for permission to marry the girl I love. Her father not only said no, he said "HELL no!" FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend's father for permission to take his daughter's hand in marriage. He asked me "Which one?" I said "Uh, the one I'm dating... Lisa." He belched and said, "Yeah sure, throw 'er off a cliff for all I care. Piss off, boy." So much for chivalry. FML
Today, my girlfriend's father sent me a text message that simply stated "You ruined my relationship with my daughter." I wanted to ask him for his blessing to marry his daughter. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at a dinner with our two families. Not only did she flatly reject me, my dad said, "Good call. He's not ready." FML
Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML
Today, my boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "No", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "Deal." FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML

At which point you turn around, say "Thankyou for your advice...." and you marry her anyway.

Propose in spite of him. In front of him would be better. When she hugs you out of sheer joy, make the devil horns and wiggle your tongue at her dad.

Honestly, if a guy were ever to fall in that much love with me, then I guess I would want him to ask me first, instead of my dad. Ladies have their own opinions, and most of us will make them very well known. I know I do. I have no intention of getting married, so yeah, no biggie.

Well of course, you have to ask the permission of the woman you are going to marry as well...

my now father-in-law said no the first time I asked him, but my mother-in-law made him change his mind.

Shouldn't have asked HIM. If you loved her marry her anyway. It's not like you'd be marrying the dad, so it's not his decision. What my parents did is call my mom's parents and TOLD them "We have made a decision. We're getting married." In the modern world, if you ask the parent, it makes you seem unsure anyway.

TIJD, very well-reasoned response. I personally agree with 43, though. I'm close to my family, but nobody has to live with the would-be husband except me, so it no one else's business, and considering my dad's opinion before my own would be an insult to me and get that guy's ass kicked to the curb! of course I also don't want am engagement ring and think the boyfriend should change his name to mine if we ever get married. feminism ftw!

Maybe he thought you were talking about his other daughter.
