Unless you can look a dad like this one in the eye and not feel like an utter, revolting, steaming pile of crap, you have no business having a girlfriend, ever. Imagine him challenging you to a duel. Let’s suppose you kill him: then imagine a brother, an uncle, a cousin, etc., etc., all duelling you if you manage to kill the previous challenger. Unless you genuinely have the courage to follow through till the end, win or lose, you don’t deserve as much as to see a female of your species on the horizon in your whole life. Treasure every time you meet one as a divine, completely undeserved gift.
Oh, Spiderpig. You poor wee thing.
