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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I Think It Was Very Sweet Of You To Ask For Permission,,&& The Father Shouldve Been Glad You Were So Respectful And Didnt Just Run Off And Marry Her... But Now That Youve Asked For Permission And Got Rejected You Should Still Propose To The Girl (If You Really Love Her.) And If She Says Yes Then Take Her And Run:D

I still dont get why should fathers be asked. People don't marry fathers, do they?

This is a kind of respect you show to a father. Without the father you would not have any daughter to marry. Maybe one day you will get the answer to this question when you have your own daughter who you are going to raise with so much love and a guy maybe you do not know really well will come and propose to her directly. And without even asking you, your daughter will say yes. :)

Without the mother, the daughter wouldn't have existed either, but I don't hear anyone asking both parents' permission...

Lol what a bunch of ****** idiots. Asking the father's blessing to marry his daughter is not a sign of disrespect to either of them. It is a tradition. Today it carries none of its ownership connotations; it is merely an honorific. The wannabe feminists posting about this are woefully ignorant.

It's a tradition based on ownership thus it does, by default, carry those connotations. Being a tradition isn't a great enough good to justify overlooking these connotations. Real feminists don't overlook historical context.

"No, not without your blessing, I love your daughter very much and she loves me, I would like your blessing on this"
