You need to understand, that TV and the movies are entertainment. This means, they're a combination of fantasy, amusing cliches and stereotypes, and anything else the producers think the public would find to be entertaining. They are not reality, nor accurate reflections of reality. For example, this is not part of your reality, nor the reality of any of your girlfriends. Therefore, you can ignore it.

The same goes for the internet. The internet tends to provide a distorted impression of reality, in part because it tends to attract a lot of unhappy people who have a need to complain. You need to take some of the internet with a big grain of salt.

Why would you be worried about things portrayed in the media and on the internet, if they weren't relevant to your life anyway? Why would you care?

See the word in red above? That is your answer.

TV has a lot of clichés that don't really happen in real life. One internet meme does not equal reality.

The only reason I care is just because I'm curious to how most fathers and brothers actually feel about their daughters/sisters dating and getting married. That's just all.

Most of them are happy about it. But I get the feeling you won't believe that.



OK, are we done here? You got your answer.

Because of the fact that I always hear about overprotective fathers/brothers through movies, TV, and other forms of fiction. And because of people talking about it a lot on the internet.

And because of that, I'm curious about how fathers/brothers actually feel about the idea of their daughters/sisters dating and getting married. That's all.

Are you a daughter or a son yourself? A sister or a brother?
