For those who had good dads, what is it like? Is it like having a good mom but male? Can you share the problems in your life with them? Do you really love them? If they were to not exist now, would you miss them?

I'm asking the above to men here who had "good dads".

Sorry for the weird questions above. I could never imagine myself loving an older, authoritative male figure in my life. I think it's like a fully blind person not being able to imagine colors? I'm not sure.

Like... Do you feel comfortable around your dad? Does it not feel confining? Like there's this void standing next to you, consuming all of the oxygen in the room?

For those with good dads, were they humble? Did they accept their mistakes? Did you feel comfortable going to them for support?
