Do you think men should have pictures with their mothers showing they’re proud of them?!

What's your next tip? Have your dad tuck you and your boyfriend in every night?

Honestly is the best when looking for a potential life partner. A picture of your father scowling with a shot gun will let them know what will happen if they fuck around with your heart. This coming from a father with a daughter.

Can you make the implicit point explicit please? Why should people do this. To hopefully convince people to not harass them? Or what?

“Daddy”

“Daddy?”

“Are you proud of me now daddy?!”

Since OP does not seem to be inclined to elaborate. I believe he thinks that through some evolutionary psychological mechanism men will take you more "seriously."

(Not agreeing with this, just trying to help)

Definitely NOT what OP thinks.

OP thinks that this will help ward off predatory men.

Some men subscribe to the notion that women without their fathers in their lives have weaker boundaries with men and/or are unconsciously seeking their father’s approval in their relationships.

OP thinks that demonstrating a positive relationship with your father will signal to these kinds of men that you are a “harder target” and not worth pursuing.

OP has yet to realize that actually having and maintaining boundaries long enough to build trust is the real solution to this problem.

What in the cel?

This is some gross sexism. It’s like you need some weird approval from another man and your too lazy to get to know someone yourself. Can we stop attaching a women’s value to other men?

Taking pictures with your guns as a thinly veiled threat is creepy and cringe as hell, don’t take them out if you aren’t cleaning or shooting it. Shooting accidents happen from people who take them out without purpose or to show off in a picture

Also not having a father doesn’t mean it’s a free pass to fuck with women, maybe she’s armed herself or can protect herself

This reads like you personally have a specific fetish you're hoping to satisfy more.

I wonder if this post is a social experiment to see how people make assumptions based on limited context.

So basically what you are saying is that men will respect me more if it seems like my own father does? This is just another instance of men not respecting women. It happens all the time. I don't know how many times I asked my maintenance guy to fix my outside light because I'm a single woman and I come home by myself sometimes at night. It didn't happen for months. Same maintenance guy came over a couple weeks ago and I mentioned that my grown son was really worried about me because the light isn't working yet and guess what? Light was fixed in 20 minutes. Some men care about what other men think, even when they aren't present, more than actually respecting a woman or treating her like a human being on her own. Sad.

The reason for this (which is genius) is to signal healthy family relationship and upbringing and to ward off products of broken families who are attracted to the likes of themselves

Probably the dumbest LPT I've seen on here. And that's sad..

I love LPTs where the OP gives zero explanation as to why it’s an LPT, how it could help, etc.

I've been messaged by a ton of guys in pics with their moms looking proud of them, and then they proceeded to tell me about their penis size and sexually harassing me, but they were just joking so it's okay.

This isn't really the case, if I'm being honest; just more Freudian logic. If someone has a bad relationship with their father, it doesn't mean they think of all men that way. They might have a fear or waryness of men based on past experiences, or will avoid men who seem like they're up to no good. But someone's experience with men isn't entirely shaped by their father; it's shaped by all the men they've met and interacted with.
