Note to Hunters #3: DADDIES HAVE THEIR OWN ISSUES AND INSECURITIES

As a Hunter, have you ever been asked the question, “what is it about Daddies that you find so appealing?” If so, what might your answer be? One common answer I often hear is, “Daddies are more mature, more stable, and they bring much less drama to a relationship”. The common perception is that younger Hunters often prefer older Daddies, not because Daddies are smart or sexy or funny, but rather because Daddies are assumed to be more mature, stable, likely to introduce less drama into a relationship. What is that old saw, “You know what happens when you assume?” As hard as it is to believe, Daddies are humans too, having their own issues and insecurities. This doesn’t make Daddies ‘bad’ or mean any attempt at a relationship is doomed, it just means both Daddy and Hunter entering into a relationship need to be realistic. So, what might some of these issues and insecurities be? Daddies worry about their potency and performance. Daddies worry about going gray, getting fat, and going bald. We worry about their prostates getting swollen, our memory failing, and our salaries not keeping up with our peers. Do Daddies have more life experience? Yes. Do Daddies care about things other than what Britney and Paris are doing? Yes. Do Daddies want to be respected and valued for these things? Yes. But do Daddies want to be sought out only because we are more ‘stable’, more ‘mature’, and come with less 'drama'? Nooooo! Like anybody else, most Daddies want to be enjoyed for the pleasant companionship we offer. We want to be thought of as sexy. We want to be perceived of individuals of quality and worth. Think about it. Aren’t those the same things that most Hunters want too? Any serious, lasting relationship, will have to ‘get real’ at some point. The honeymoon will end, the infatuation will fade. At this point, the relationship will succeed or fail based on how ‘real’ each partner sees the other and how willing they are to deal with the ‘realness’. Just like you might not always remain the perfect boy, with the body of death, and the powerful sexual allure, something Daddies need to remember, you may need to remember that Daddies are sometimes going to be scared, fat guys, with thinning hair, bad knees, who can’t get it up, and who are nervous a out losing our jobs. As a Hunter, if you can learn to accept and love us for (or in a pinch, in spite of) these insecurities and issues, your relationship with the Daddy you love will be stronger, healthier and last longer.

At least this is what THIS DADDY thinks.
