No, my dad raised me he did the best he could have, and to me i would have not had it any other way.

Some men are very nurturing types, and would make a wonderful Dad to a daughter.
Read the book "What a Difference a Daddy Makes" by Kevin Leman, PhD.
Very interesting information there about parenting a daughter, or a son... and the special role that a father plays in that.

I think a Dad could make a great single parent, yeah there will be struggles here and there as for any parent and you might need to seek out advise on certain issues here and there. But I totally believe if Dad's hearts in the right place he can make any future issue with his daughter work out in the end as of any parent. Girls can sometimes hold the more sensitive side and as a man you might have to remember to get in touch with yours if that is a problem.

I thinik a dad is capable of raising a daughter. He will face some things though with her that will make his life a little difficult at times if he doesn't have a female influence to check with from time to time. Just like a mom raising a son without male influence. There are times when a boy really needs a male influence. Girls are no different. At times they really need another female's perspective.

A Dad can raise a daughter or son just fine but it takes a lot of work without a Mom.

Dads and Moms are equally equipped for single parenting... By that I mean, they can't be both... so they do the best they can. So a caring Dad is 1,000 times better than a non-caring Mom, no matter what he may be lacking in... and a caring Mom is 1,000 times better than a non-caring Dad... no matter what she may be lacking in.
Bottom line? Nobody's perfect... We each just do the best we can with what we know. The best our kids can expect is that we inform ourselves, that we are aware of our shortcoming, and that we do the very best we can as we raise them. Laughter, love, hugs, kisses, "I love you"s, pictures, board games, soccer games, dance lessons, karate, homework... Doesn't really matter if you're a Mom or a Dad, so long as you're there.

Dads seem to dote on their daughters, or at least my husband does. There's no reason a man couldn't raise a healthly, well adjusted young lady. I would suggest, however, that she have some type of woman to whom she can confide in as a teenager. There are just SOME things young girls don't want to talk about with dad, or at least not at first.

I don't. I'm a single mother but I don't believe I am any more capable of raising a daughter than you. If you unconditionally love her, show her respect and guidance, bring around good female role models chances are she will be more balanced than children living with both parents who don't provide those things. Since I believe girls tend to date/marry men like their fathers, your influence on her life will be big... and it's a good thing because you are already trying by asking questions.

A dad can raise a daughter just as well as a mother, sometimes i think some of my guy friends could raise there kids better then my girl friends, its just that when they get older theres the sex talk, menstration, buying tampons and so forth, that girls are much more comfortable talking to other girls about. Unless you can break that barrier. My dad with us. He talked about it all with us. and he was great at it.

No, if he pays attention to her, aids her, keeps her safe but not over protective, and gets help when he needs it he can be a great single father. Girls are generally harder to raise because of the added facts of like, ie: period, pregnancy, dating, society, ect. But all in all, dads aren't any less qualified to raise daughters on their own.
