He's the most important man in your life, and here's why...
By Jessica Sager — Written on Jun 17, 2015
Father's Day is a day to reflect and thank the most important man in your life for two really crucial things: giving you life (your mom didn't do that alone!) and setting an example for how you'll love for the rest of your life.
As Freudian as it sounds, your father really does set the tone for a whole lot of things, and if your dad is worth his salt, chances are you're secure, strong, and independent.
He shows you both what to expect and what to accept from all the men in your life — boyfriends, brothers or even bosses. Your father's relationship with you, as well as his relationship with your mom, have an enormous influence on your relationships with everyone else you meet.
He's there for you when you have a broken heart, a blown tire, or a barbecuing question. Your dad is The Best. If you're lucky enough to have a rad dad, you'll probably agree with most of these sentiments. Make him happy and send this to him!
You don't put up with sh*t from guys.

He's the first person you call if you're in a jam. You're not worried about him judging you...

"Daughters" by John Mayer makes you misty ...

... but you have way too much self-respect to ever date anyone like John Mayer.

Guys know to knock on your door (or at least text you) when they arrive at your place. They'd never even consider honking.
