Why are dads more over protective of there daughters than there sons?

its bcos all d guys have caring tendency towards gals... wen it comes to daughter thing d matters more deep.... but in case of boys generally fathers kno tat he can handle d situations well as he himself did in his young age.... so i think it may be the reason....i too experience the same thing from my dad....

well of course they are more protective. But a boy is a man and they can do nothing wrong and blah blah blah. girls give you too much to worry about, like pregnant and plus a father knows what teenage boys think like and they don't those boy thinking that about their daughters!

Dads are just more protective of their daughters, they know how teenage boys are because they were one themselves! If your daughter has good values now, you probably don't need to worry too much about her when she leaves home. There's nothing kids can do at night that they can't do in the daytime! She may make some mistakes but that is just part of growing up and living your own life. You can only be there to offer her support when she needs it.

I guess because they see thier daughters as fragile delicate things that need to be sheltered, were as sons they see as strong independent men who can take care of themself's.

I think its becos girls get pregnant and the baby becomes an addition where as boys dont carry in the baby it goes to the girls' house. My mother was really strict on me and I never had a boyfriend until 28. Got pregnant and had the child at 29. My mother drove fear in me. I guess the dad would too

in some levels i think society has made it this way, in the olden days women stay home, little girls stay with their mom and plays with their dolls and etc. and dads and boys get to go out and hunt, do manly things and much much more. dads are more protective of their daughters because when they do get into trouble its more trouble than the guys. like the saying goes 'its mans world', but now slowly changing. but the 'connotation' is still there. if a girl would get into trouble i think parents would think: 'what would the people think... you being a girl and this and that', 'a girl acting like a boy in this manner and that' and etc. or 'its not right for a girl to go home at this hr' and yada yada yada. and i feel that they are more concerned because they knew or still knows what its like to be a teenager and what teenage guys do. and for a mother to be concerned with their boys its a natural instict also, im not saying dads dont have that for their sons but i feel that they arent as 'very worried' as the moms are. hehehe.. but there should be equal 'worry' for both girls and boys, these days who knows what kind of criminals are out there right?! they would just take anybody...
