You know this guy. You might even be this guy if you're a father. Well aware of the sex-obsessed horndogs that teenage boys can be — probably because he used to be one himself — the boyfriend-blocking Dad wants to protect his daughter from being exploited. Unfortunately, he tends to take it all too far, holding the Eight Simple Rules For Dating My Teenaged Daughter as his personal bible. Once he gets over his denial that his baby girl is all grown up, the Boyfriend-Blocking Dad becomes convinced that her smiling at a boy, let alone kissing and/or dating, is half a step away from her having sex and getting pregnant. Parties are always an orgy if she is going. He tends to object to his daughter's fashion choices for similar reasons. This trope is not just a father/daughter variation on My Girl Is Not a Slut; it's that he doesn't trust any boys around her, and he's probably also displacing some angst about "losing" his little girl. Unfortunately for the poor young man who eventually attracts her interest, the boyfriend-blocking Dad isn't going to be inclined to give him an inch — he will receive No Sympathy for any chaos that results from their courtship, and even the slightest or most obvious misunderstanding/misconception about the man will have the boyfriend-blocking Dad warning him to "stay away from her!" On some occasions, it's obvious to everyone that he is using his concern as a (fairly weak) excuse to keep boys he considers "unsuitable" away from his baby girl. In the rare event that he finds a suitor he can tolerate, he will still threaten the boy with dire consequences If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her.... Oddly, we never seem to hear from the boys' parents, who, one assumes, might object to their son being threatened with violence. This trope is especially common in stereotypes of the Deep South, where every sweet Georgia Peach has a very large (usually fat, hairy, and/or drunk) father in a white tank top that usually keeps a rifle or shotgun with him at all times. If Adults Are Useless, then the Dad probably just be comic relief as he huffs and puffs ineffectually. Otherwise, he may serve as a Parent ex Machina to deliver the message that you Can't Get Away with Nuthin', and ground his daughter at some point. Somewhere between those two is the boyfriend-blocking Dad who ends up enforcing a Shotgun Wedding after the condom breaks. In a worst-case scenario, if the daughter dies while giving birth to her boyfriend or husband’s child, her father may blame the unfortunate widower for her death. The new widower may or may not agree with him. Spear Counterpart of My Beloved Smother. See also Helicopter Parents and Twerp Sweating. Compare My Sister Is Off-Limits. Contrast Fantasy-Forbidding Father. Closely overlaps with Parental Marriage Veto. Subtrope of Love-Obstructing Parents. Depending on how the trope is played and how much the creator wants to dissect it, it can carry all of the same problems as My Girl Is Not a Slut and may imply that the woman in question is less an agent of her own destiny than under control of her male relatives. Worse yet, that she's somehow their property. The concept can also easily become even Squickier with a Pervert Dad. Ironically, if the father has a son, he may applaud or encourage him if he treats girls in the exact way that he doesn't want other boys to treat his own daughter. Gender Flips are less common, i.e. fathers more concerned about the girls/women their sons date. This is due to several double standards, such as Men Are Tough, All Men Are Perverts, and A Man Is Always Eager. Boyfriend-blocking moms are also very rare, typically not being all that concerned with who their kid of either sex dates. At worst they'll be My Beloved Smother, who's more likely to nag and nitpick the significant other, usually a woman, to death for not being good enough for her son/kid, which isn't the same as threatening to kill somebody for talking to your daughter. They're also just as, if not more likely, to wait until after the wedding before they start antagonizing their child's significant other. This trope might overlap with Knight Templar Parent if the dad goes to dangerous extremes in their overprotectiveness. May lead to Calling the Old Man Out. |

Defied by Elizabeth's father in Better Days. When her mother expresses concern about letting their daughter date someone who isn't Jewish, her father points out that 1) Elizabeth and Fisk are just going to see a movie. 2) Elizabeth is still a child and it's good for her to have some fun while she still is a child, and 3) Prohibiting her from seeing him will just make him a Forbidden Fruit that she'll end up eloping with when she's 16. | |

When Barbara was raging against Bruce/Batman for using her and Cass and sending them out on a cruise for "vacation" when he knew that a certain target was there, and accusing him of only seeing Cass as a weapon, he was completely stoic about it, even smiling at one point. Until Barbara casually mentioned that Superboy had met up with Cass. Then, he proceeded to smash the keyboard up. | |

"She's in Love with the Boy" by Trisha Yearwood. Katie is in love with Tommy, but her father strongly disapproves of their relationship — when he catches them returning home very late from a date, he angrily confronts the couple. But Katie's mom comes to the couple's defense, reminding her husband that they were no different from Katie and Tommy when they were teenagers and how her own father had thought little of him, but they got married anyway and Katie will likely do the same with Tommy. | |

Naruto: Fanon portrays Hiashi Hyuga as this over Hinata and Hanabi. Also Kurenai over Hinata as well. One example, concerning Hiashi, can be seen in Kitsune no Ken: Fist of the Fox. Hiashi becomes this for his children, mainly Hinata, once he forms the impression that Naruto doesn't take his studies as seriously as Hinata is expected to do with hers. The over-protectiveness increases after Hiashi finds out that Naruto was one of the Kyuushingai, as he doesn't want his daughter associating with a guy who was part of a group infamous for causing 365 days of carnage across several cities in the not-too-distant past. | |

When Knives Chau's father finds out his daughter is (actually, was) dating the title character of Scott Pilgrim, a white boy, he puts on sunglasses, a Badass Longcoat, takes one of his antique swords, and goes after Scott. After Scott starts fighting his own battles (by killing Roxanne) and explaining he barely touched Knives during their time together, Mr. Chau goes home and tells his daughter he's OK with her seeing a white guy. Since she doesn't speak a word of Chinese, she has no idea what he said. | |

Black Comedy (1965): Colonel Melkett is very distrustful of Brindsley, and offers him a few pointers on how to treat his daughter - the only think keeping him from trying to end their relationship for most of the play is Carol's status as his Daddy's Girl. But since Brindsley is a cheating scumbag, his instincts are absolutely right. | |

RWBY: Ruby and Yang's father Taiyang is implied to be very protective. The sisters make comments on how he wouldn't approve of the presence of boys during their first night in Beacon, when the first years spend their night together in the hall. When Sun tells Ghira that he shouldn't worry about his daughter because "she's got some moves", Ghira takes an instant dislike to him and doesn't trust his relationship with Blake at all. He doesn't warm up to him until they're fighting for their lives in Volume 5, at which point he instructs Sun to go and help Blake. |

Empathy: While Riley's father holds nothing against Hiro personally, he clearly isn't thrilled that he's dating Riley. Downplayed here, though, as the worst thing he ever does is give the boy suspicious/dirty looks, and he never tries to convince them to break up or spend less time together. | |

Prospero in The Tempest. Not content with taking control of Ferdinand's body and forcing him to do manual labour before he's allowed to woo Miranda, once they are engaged Prospero gives Ferdinand a very hefty lecture about how he's not allowed to sleep with her before marriage. Which he also mentions on a couple of other occasions. And summons a whole load of spirits to act, sing and dance a big masque, the message of which is also that Ferdinand isn't allowed to sleep with Miranda before marriage. | |

Kiyoshi Ishikawa from Stalker x Stalker. He threatens Takeshi to stop dating his daughters, much to their displeasure. When they complain about how he won't let them have a boyfriend when Junko has one, his response implies he intents to deal with Yukio in a similar way.

one day at a time (Nyame): Main protagonist Jason Todd is this for both his kids and his siblings. His opinion on Dam Kent, one of his first students, made a complete 180 after learning the kid had asked his adoptive daughter Helena out to prom, and he had no issues threatening him with Kryptonite. While initially Played for Laughs, this is later expanded to be something of a character flaw of his; Jason is so protective of his family that he often tries to shield them away from anything that might cause physical or emotional harm to them, even if it means keeping vital information away from them until the last minute or being manipulative and somewhat controlling. To his credit, he does recognize it as a problem and tries to restrain himself when need be, but his own past difficulties means it will never completely go away. | |

Baby Blues: Darryl, especially toward his oldest daughter, Zoe. In one early storyline, Darryl panicked when he learned that a then two-year-old Zoe had a crush on an "older man" (a three-year-old). He also reacted about as well as you'd expect when Zoe (who was, at most, around 10 years old) got a coupon in the mail from Victoria's Secret. Darryl's friend Mike has shades of this too. When Wanda was telling him about Darryl's freakout over the aforementioned three-year-old, Mike's reply was "Just tell the kid to keep away from my Keesha, okay?" At the time, Keesha was a year old. |

Spy X Family: In this fancomic, Anya is watching on TV a father warding off a boy from his daughter with a shotgun. She laughs with her parents about funny the scene is. Though after reading their minds, Anya learns the two find it funny because they find using a shotgun ineffective at getting rid of them. Loid would use interrogation methods to spiritually and mentally break any boy that tries to get close to Anya. He even considers a shotgun as a Mercy Kill compared to what he would do. Yor finds using a shotgun silly because of how messy and loud it is. For any boy that gets close to Anya, she would use a kitchen knife to finish him off quickly and cleanly. This (fan-dubbed) strip shows an alternate take of Anya's apology after she hit Damian. After she breaks down crying following her apology, Loid, who's disguised as a school employee, is relieved that the situation has been resolved and Operation Strix can progress. However, Damian starts to freak out, and rather than refuse her apology run away crying (like he did in the real story), he decides to give Anya a Cooldown Hug so people don't think he did something to make her cry, which causes Loid to break character and yell "get your hands off my Anya, Desmond!" As Loid stands there stunned over what he did, Anya tells him he's a bad spy. In this (fandubbed) strip, Anya anounces that she and "Sy-on Boy" are hanging out that weekend. Twilight is delighted, because Operation Strix is advancing smoothly, but his Loid Forger persona thinks someone's taking his daughter away, meanwhile Yor's "mama mode" is happy that nothing bad happened after Anya punched Damian, but her assassin side considers killing him if he hurts Anya. When they meet up, Damian asks to hold hands so that Anya "doesn't get lost." As they walk away, Yor, who's far enough for Anya to not read her thoughts states that they're too close together, while Loid is glad everything's going to plan, he doesn't like that they're too close, while Frankie questions why they're stalking Anya. In this (fandubbed) fancomic, Anya and Damina, now teenagers, have just started dating, and she's taking him to meet Loid and Yor. When Anya excuses herself, Damian tries to make conversation, when Loid flat out tells him he doesn't care if he's a Desmond, if he hurts Anya he'll sic Yor on him, who will "make you wish you weren't born," when Yor asks Loid to calm down, she tells Damian in a very menacing tone of voice that "I would do something much worse." As Anya and Damina walk on their date, she reads his mind about how he better be careful because as far as he knows they may be two deadly assassins posing as a couple who will kill him and dump his body in the middle of the ocean if he hurts Anya. In this comic originally by cristina_blis, Damian helps Anya, both whom are in their teens, study for a make up test, and when Yor tells Loid that Anya is studying with a friend that's not Becky, he barges into Anya's room, and when he sees them studying he tells them he'll go so they can concentrate in peace while leaving the door ajar. When Anya asks Damian to kiss her, after she read his toughts about how he thinks she looks cute, an annoyed looking Loid enters behind Yor, who's carryoing some snacks. In this comic originally by denta_207, Anya holds Damian's hand saying that since they're friends now it's okay, and when Loid comes to pick up Anya from school, he and Damian greet each other. Loid thinks about how he's using Anya to become friends with Damian and in order to spy on Donovan Desmond, but can't help but dislike the fact that she and Damian are becoming too friendly. Meanwhile, Damian can sense that Loid is upset because he saw him and Anya holding hands, despite the fact Damian only interacts with commoners in his dreams, all the while poor Anya has to awkwardly stand there reading their thoughts. |

White Dark Life: Matt Mokaray is very violent around suitors of either gender towards all of his children but Saru. Sure, Matthew Prower is hounded by a witch that will do anything to spite him, but it reaches peak absurdity when he immediately uses Torch's biggest fear against her for just hugging Inu. | |

Haley's father in The Order of the Stick taught her how to be paranoid around others and did not approve of Elan since his father is an evil warlord and his twin brother is just evil. Tarquin refuses to allow anyone of lowly stock to marry Elan, and frames Haley's father for the murder of the ambassador of Reptilia partly to see how she handles the situation as a test of her worthiness. |

Of all people, hotheaded god of war Ares struggles with trying to prevent this in Dark Avengers. When he finds out his son Phobos has been training with Nick Fury, he gets quite angry and looks quite willing to tear everything in arm's length apart. At the same time, though, he admits that he resented his father Zeus acting in a similar fashion and doesn't want to drive his own son away like Ares felt driven away from Zeus. Ares eventually relents but warns Fury that, should the boy get killed, it's quite likely that Zeus will still act like an Overprotective Granddad and act accordingly, even if Ares is more understanding. | |

David drops in at this moment, and takes it as a lesson on how to handle his daughter, Cynthia, and goes so far as to chastise Don when he later finds Patty in a similar situation, though he admits that it's none of his business. | |

Batman When Barbara was raging against Bruce/Batman for using her and Cass and sending them out on a cruise for "vacation" when he knew that a certain target was there, and accusing him of only seeing Cass as a weapon, he was completely stoic about it, even smiling at one point. Until Barbara casually mentioned that Superboy had met up with Cass. Then, he proceeded to smash the keyboard up. In Robin: Year One, a young Dick Grayson (as Robin) is having a friendly chat with Captain Jim Gordon outside the Gordon house. Jim's daughter Barbara comes outside and briefly shares a look with Dick. Jim glares at Dick and utters, "Not on your life, Boy Wonder." It becomes Hilarious in Hindsight when it's revealed later that Jim drove Dick and Barbara to their high school prom. |

Crucible (Mass Effect): Many turian dads run strongly on this trope to various degrees: Garrus' maternal grandfather Sheor tried to kill his dad Avitus with an axe when discovered that the latter's impregnated his daughter before marriage. To summarize the event, He flung the kitchen table to the side and effortlessly threw Avitus's mom Kadisa, who is a CQC expert into a couch, to chase Avitus around the huge homestead for three rounds before catching up. It took Avitus's dad Garrus, to get into a fist-fight with Sheor for the man to stop trying to kill his future son-in-law. Then Avitus himself wasn't very pleased with the fact that Solana was all grown up and now has a suitor. In the bad timeline, Garrus and Shepard's son Gaius started dreading about his daughter will have dates immediately right after he realized his wife is pregnant with said kid. Played for Laughs with Avitus's friend Crassus who went crazy over his cat Mrs. Tibb. When he discovered that the cat was pregnant he was indecisive between killing the neighbor's male cat that did it and the vet that installed the faulty contraception chip. Makerm was this to his daughter Koria but it wasn't enough to protect her from being raped, became insane and then drown herself. This event was the reason he decided to bring all turians under his rules. Averted with Shepard's dad Sam who, while protective of his child when needed (like saving her from two rapists and then fed the hungry teen), was very supportive of her relationship with her husband. In fact, the reason she and Garrus met in the first place was that Sam arranged it so they could fall in love and then married as he knew the husband and his family would love and protect his child with everything they had. |

An extremely wound-up woman, after hearing the Pines' twins stories about Wendy, Lynda immediately concludes that she is a bad influence. She very reluctantly allows Wendy into her home for Christmas, and spends much of the story badgering her and treating her like a criminal. After she goes too far, Lynda admits to Wendy that Dipper and Mabel were born two months early, which left them in a critical condition, and still fears she could lose them. | |

In Dinosaurs, the Trope is lampooned with Earl's Mean Boss Mr. Richfield; he's so overprotective of his daughter, he actually eats her boyfriends. (When she confronts him on this, he claims he just wanted to talk to the first one, but he lost his temper, and "after that, it was kinda like eating peanuts.") In another episode, Earl subverts this. When Charlene develops a scent that makes her attractive to an older janitor, Earl is fully prepared to play this trope straight and forbid the two from marrying. But the janitor is so much like Earl in both appearance and personality that the two immediately bond and Earl gives his blessing to the union, to Charlene's horror. |

A rather understandable example with Miranda's dads in Kevin & Kell, as Miranda tends to date predators (as in the meat-eaters) and her biological parents were killed by predators.

Archie Comics: Mr. Lodge (Veronica's father) isn't overly fond of Archie dating his daughter, mostly because accident-prone Archie typically destroys at least one precious antique whenever he visits the Lodge mansion. On the other hand, having been repeatedly saved from thieves, swindlers, blackmailers, and underhanded business rivals by Archie means Mr. Lodge is able to accept him, at least. And he shows his complete support of Archie when he proposes to Veronica, even going as far as to give him a cushy job so that he will be able to support Veronica on his own. It's also been indicated that Mr. Lodge tolerates Archie because interaction with the boy keeps Veronica from becoming too much of a Spoiled Brat. | |

Limpet AU: The one thing that Han and Vader can agree on is that they're equally appalled by the idea of some boy getting too comfortable with Jaina. Jaina's casual mention of studying with a male classmate is enough to immediately halt a growing argument between the two and send them into overprotective patriarch mode. | |

Freedom For The Hellhound: Blitzo is utterly mortified that Loona is dating a human, Caleb, and tries to talk her out of it. Even when he seemingly concedes, he forces Moxxie to stalk her to the beach to spy on her and make sure Caleb doesn't do anything untoward with her. Eventually he visits Caleb's workplace with the intent of killing him, but after hearing Caleb unknowingly complimenting Blitzo's father skills, he comes around. | |

As usual, The Bible has an example (of a sort): When the young David asks Saul for his daughter Michal's hand in marriage, Saul says (paraphrased): "Sure...if you can collect me 100 foreskins of the Philistines." Since the Philistines were uncircumcised, this meant killing them, and thus meant fighting them. Fights that, since David had to collect the foreskins himself, meant that David was fairly likely to get killed. Which is exactly what Saul wanted, to "protect" his daughter and to get rid of David (who had humiliated Saul—who was after all King of Israel and supposedly the Israelites' best fighter—by killing Goliath). David collected 200 foreskins, earning him the praise of the people, Michal for a wife, and the eternal enmity of the House of Saul. | |

When he finds out that her classmate Adrien is not only Crimson Beetle but also has feelings for Marinette, he wants to keep them apart outside of working together to stop the Akumas. This behavior stems from past Ladybugs treating their partner Black Cats poorly, and Plagg thinks that Adrien will end up doing the same to Marinette. | |

Son of the Sannin: Hiashi demands that his wife go along when Naruto and Hinata go out for ramen. This has nothing to do with a dislike of Naruto specifically (if anything, he's grateful for his and Hinata's friendship since it's what saved his wife's life), he just doesn't want his eight-year-old daughter alone with a boy. We never get to see his reaction when the two of them start dating five years later, as he's killed during the Uchiha Insurrection. Jiraiya ends up getting married to Tsunade and having twin children, a boy and a girl. During Kurenai and Asuma's wedding, he claims he passed a law banning anyone from dating the Hokage's daughter until she's 30. While everyone laughs at the remark, his expression afterwards make it clear he's only half-joking about it. |

Unfortunately for the man, his wife and daughter are smart enough to track, find and board his plane mid-flight. And it turns out he did it because he saw his wife had Touma's number under "Future Son-In-Law", which Mikoto's mother wrote to mess with him. | |

Dracula in Hotel Transylvania has built a giant castle in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a haunted forest and a perpetual mist in order to protect his daughter Mavis from the greatest threat known to all monsters — humans. With good reason, as it turns out, as humans killed his wife, Mavis's mother. Unfortunately, he has promised Mavis to let her leave the castle on her 118th birthday, and that day is here. And the first human she ever meets is Johnny, they both hit it hard with a Zing, and Dracula tries to break them up. His guilt eventually catches up, leading to Dracula to make amends with Johnny and reluctantly allows his daughter to date Johnny. In the sequel, he almost stops Mavis and Johnny’s kiss, and only allows them to do a quick, small peck. The kicker? It’s at their own wedding. |

Child of the Storm: Subverted with both Magneto and Joe Danvers. Magneto terrifies Harry Dresden a bit (mainly because Magneto terrifies anyone who's ever heard of him, whether or not they happen to be dating his daughter), to the point where Dresden tries to hide behind Wanda. Since he's 6'9', and Wanda's about 5'6' on a good day, this fails miserably. As it is, though, Magneto's surprisingly friendly, backing off from an If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her... speech with good grace when Wanda cuts him off. In the sequel, he actually comes to Harry's defense when an evil sorcerer is torturing him, making it clear that the guy in question is going to suffer and die for the crime of 'attempting to harm his daughter's beloved.' Overall, Harry describes his prospective father-in-law as being "friendly. Terrifying, but friendly." It should be noted that Wanda can more than look after herself, and is one of the few people below Cosmic Entity level who might actually be more powerful than he is. Joe Danvers, meanwhile, has absolutely no problem with the idea of Harry Potter dating his daughter Carol (which, the two being an Anchored Ship, he isn't until chapter 46 of the sequel). Unfortunately, other problems arise from that, as he has a Stay in the Kitchen attitude, sees Harry as someone who can control his very independent daughter, and 'take her [Carol] in hand'. Needless to say, Harry is not pleased. He gets drastically less pleased when it's revealed that Joe intended for him to use his Psychic Powers to do so. This has long-term consequences, as later arcs emphasise that even if Joe was genuinely ignorant of how much of a violation that is, it's still Mind Rape, and Joe is firmly booted upstairs by his terrifying mother-in-law and super spy Alison Carter, who makes it very clear that his only contact with his children from then on will be supervised. |

Mostly subverted in Spider-Girl, since Peter Parker is much less concerned about his daughter May having sex than he is worried that she'll be seriously hurt or killed while acting as a super-hero, given that he obviously knows first-hand how dangerous the job can be. He flips out when he realizes May has been crime-fighting behind his back, although he would eventually come to accept his daughter's role. Later Gender Reversed when Mary Jane nearly had a nervous breakdown when May was almost killed fighting one of her father's old enemies, leading May to voluntarily give up being Spider-Girl, until circumstances forced her back into costume. Also played straight in a few instances, such as when May goes on a date with J. Jonah Jameson's grandson, which rankles Peter's hide to no end, and when he asks why she couldn't date Jimmy Yuma (who Peter likes), Mary Jane says that Jimmy is terrified of Peter. | |

The Little Mermaid King Triton is an interesting variation on this. He's actually over the moon when he finds out Ariel has a potential suitor, only he assumes it's a merman. He becomes a more recognizable Boyfriend-Blocking Dad when he finds it out it's actually a human, going as far as to trash Ariel's grotto. When you consider that humans probably wouldn't react very well to knowing merpeople exist and Ariel knows nothing about Eric, Triton's position is a little more understandable. In the prequel, humans killed Ariel's mother, of whom, out of all their daughters, Ariel is the spitting image. This definitely makes Triton's reasoning more understandable. He probably couldn't bear the thought of basically losing his wife twice. |

Many Sailor Moon fics that use the 90s anime's rendition of Kenji Tsukino, who was this trope only in that version. This doesn't stop people from making him one in fics that are based on other versions of the franchise. The reason is probably either ignorance or laziness/stereotypes. | |
