And I think there'd probably be a lot more things to it than just their family. If they didn't like me, then she probably has a fucked up relationship with her dad and her mom's probably crazy and her parents probably don't have a good dynamic. They, I mean, why wouldn't they like me? I'm a successful 36-year-old man who's like in really good shape, who has strong moral, strong values.
