I heard this somewhere, and searched on Google. I'm not sure at this point how much basis it has in reality; but there is a story idea in my mind that has interested me for some time. It pertains to this principal:

Say a daughter is born to a man. He raises her for a while, but not the entire time a father needs to raise his daughter. Say this man split up with his wife and his daughter went to live with her mother... therefore, making their contact nullified for some years.

The girl left when she was about eight, probably.

When the daughter grows up and matures, she might want to meet her father again, whom she hasn't seen for years. (Let's say the daughter is 22); so what happens? She decides to visit her father.

That is 16 years without contact. But the father remembers his younger daughter, and suddenly, she is a woman in front of his eyes.

If the daughter had conversations with her father, and the two of them became good friends after all this time, could that result in:

The two of them falling in love?


I don't support incest. Mainly this is a philisophical/psychological discussion of the human mind. My story idea follows somewhere along these lines.

Tell me what you think.

I love my dad, but he is an alcoholic and he scares me sometimes.

Does a father "need" to raise a daughter? I didn't think so.

I'm not really the one to ask about this hypothetical situation, because I can't imagine anybody falling in love with anybody in any situation whatsoever.

But I like silly love songs. :wink:

Hmmn, it all depends what you define love as..

I have this ridiculous notion of love as everlasting, everchanging and evergrowing connection, yet even with such a notion, I've found one that I definately feel this for.

So its not always a hypothetical, its defiantely... possible.

I'm not too far from the guy they're describing and for myself and my daughters I'd say no. Being "in love" comes and goes, even when people get married and make promises that their feelings will never change. The love between a father and daughter is a permanant unalterable lifetime thing. It may change in the superficial manifestations going from diapers to swing sets to cars, but the feelings don't change at all.

The feminists and their sonderkommando stooges can take them out of my life, but they can't take them out of my heart.

Is it possible for two people separated by that great an age to fall in love? Yes.
Is it probable that the only reason they are searching for people in those age brackets because they missed out on some connection with each other and they are searching for that? Yes.

I am single now and I'm not searching for someone in my fathers age bracket. My father provided me with all the data I needed to go out and find a spouse who is nothing like him. Personal belief: Men that much older than me should not be interested me. When they are, I want to psychoanalyze them to help them leave me alone and go find what they are really looking for. Usually what they are looking for is a way to go back in time and undo the regrets they have about the way they handled their past.
