this situation? My dad always goes on and on with his boring football stories, and I listen, sometimes make eye contact, interject with some comments (just to be nice). HOWEVER, the minute I begin to talk about something that interests me, like politics, he will shake his head and say, "You know that stuff doesn't interest me." I HATE THIS.

It is a difficult situation b/c you put forth the effort to talk to him about things he is interested in but he does not do the same for you. I would be respectful but I would not exert too much energy into the conversations. You sound like two very different creatures but he is still your dad so be respectful.

Since he says that when you talk about politics etc, then he should know how you feel when he talk about football to you. You should also stop giving comments to him because that will mislead him that you are interested with what he is talking !!! Be nice to yourself once will you ? Good luck .

Just find another topic that both of you would be interested in so that the two of you will have interactions.

if i had my father with me, TRUST ME, it wouldnt bother me to listen to his crapola.... you are lucky!
and if he is not into politics, find something else you two like and can talk about. it takes 2 for a relationship/friendship but sometimes we have to do more than the other.

Tell him how you feel. In the end your relationship may improve because he will know you can be honest about things like that.

Stop talking to his ***. What you need to do is scrub them dirty, dingy *** feet you got there. LOL

Why are your feet so dirty? That's strange.
