I Hate John Mayer

Seriously, his "music" makes me physically ill. Whenever I hear it, I contemplate driving dull, rusty butter knives into my ear drums. His voice is what I imagine the cries of kittens being placed into a blender sounds like. If I had to choose between listening to John Mayer's "songs" or the sounds of monkeys having a farting contest, I'd choose the latter. That being said...
Mr. Mayer once did a song about father and daughters (and to a lesser extent, mothers). I know the song is a few years old, but I've spent those years trying to ignore the fact I agree with the lyrics in a John Mayer song. To summarize it, for those that have somehow had the luck to not hear it, the song pretty much says fathers need to be good to their daughters as that's where their daughters will learn about love. This is actually something modern psychology (for the little I know about it) has been saying for years. And I'll be damned if Mayer isn't on to something.
If I had a dollar for every girl I knew with a daddy issue, I'd be rich. And 90% of those girls are dating, in love with, or married to an absolute douche bag. And of course the girl thinks he's the greatest man in the world and no one knows him the way she does, but everyone on the outside knows he's a worthless piece of shit. He's the kind of guy that spends most the time acting unaware of her existence and then when he does acknowledge she's there, it's usually to criticize her. And yet she will swear on a Bible he's the greatest guy on earth and what they have is true love.
For the longest time, this perplexed me. The whole way so many girls could be in love with such douche bags. I mean, I know nearly every girl has he "bad boy" phase. But that's usually something that happens in high school/college. But as I get older, I'm noticing a lot of women that just don't get past it. No matter what, they're addicted to worst of guys. And now I realize John Mayer was on to something.
Do some girls with shitty dads find great guys and realize what they have? Yes. Do some girls have great dads and still manage to fall for guys not worth the dirt they walk on? Indeed. But those are exceptions to rule. Most girls with daddy issues (and that's most girls I've known or even known of) go for guys I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.
Chances are, I'm going to die alone (in the romantic sense). While I can be a jerk (or so I've been told), I'm not the kind of jerk to play head games. Nor am I the kind of guy to try and be the new "daddy" for a girl with daddy issues. And the older I get, the less fish in the sea there are (especially fish without issues). So it goes.
But should I ever someday be the father of a daughter, may the good Lord strike me down if I don't do all I can to do the best job possible. Then the next time I hear some no-talent-ass-clown singing about fathers and daughters on the radio, I'll know it's a song that could in no way apply to my life and I'll change the station to one that plays real music (and if you're wondering, the reason the song would apply to me now is my uncanny ability to meet girls with horrible/nonexistent dads and then get stuck just being friends with them while they date complete douche bags).
