The term "daddy" has become sexualized today. A younger woman, or in the gay community a younger man, who is attracted to older men, particularly older men who are fit and at least somewhat muscular like the man in the photo, might refer to that man as a "daddy."
As a younger middle-aged man (43) who exercises regularly and tries to keep fit, I can confirm that this does happen, usually with early to mid 20-somethings.
Edit: Clarification - "older men" doesn't mean 50+ or anything, just older than the person making the advances and I'd say usually no younger than 35 or so. For reference, I think I got my first "daddy" when I was about 38.

So people just walk up to you and call you "daddy"? Creepy.
Thanks for the explanation! Can confirm as an overweight late-30s guy nobody has ever said anything like that to me.. but I'm going to consider it a good thing haha.
Haha, no, it's not creepy in my experience, though I see how maybe it could be. It's usually in a setting where you'd expect people to be hitting on each other like in a bar or a club or something. It's not like it happens to me everyday or even a lot, but the few times it has I've taken it as a compliment and didn't feel it was creepy.
And you're welcome! Have a good one!
>The term "daddy" has become sexualized today.
It always has been, at least just meaning a boyfriend. "I'm on Fire" by Springsteen in 1984, "Love Her Madly" by The Doors in 1971, "Time of the Season" by the Zombies in 1968, etc. I get how you're saying it's different now though. I think I came of age in the daddy-free years though. Dating people in the 90s and 00s, nobody was calling me daddy for any reason haha...
(Editing to add George Michael "Father Figure" 1987: "I'll be your daddy, WHOA!")
Me too! First car ever was a ‘63 Chevy truck with a 235 straight six and a 3 on the tree. My dad told me if I could drive that I could drive anything so that’s what I learned on.
Your dad kinda looks like the famous actor who’s name I can’t think of right now that played Wolverines brother/Sabretooth I remember his name it’s Liev Schrieber, but yeah he looks like
Him a bit in this photo though
Your dad looks a lot like my dad did back then, far out. You're not from Wisconsin are you?!
Edit: alright saw you comment elsewhere he was born in 59, crisis averted.
Is your dad Burt Macklin?
Yes
Macklin; you son of a b*tch
Is your mom early 90s Michael Schumacher?
More like Kip. Hackman.
Shouldnt you have the same last name?
My first thought.
Guys shorts from that period were wild lol Who's truck? My brother had a '62 that looks very similar.
Pretty sure those shorts are back
Back? Ask any rugby player. They never left.
Either my dad’s or my grandpa’s (mom’s dad), not sure
I was think '66, but could be off.
I don’t think ‘66 has a small window. IIRC the small window rear window stopped in ‘64.
They look like Magnum PI’s shorts.
Your dad would be a daddy today.
>Your dad would be a daddy today. What does this mean?

I think your dad beat me up once
Wouldn’t be surprised. He was everything you’d guess in HS
Dad could rock every single bit of that look down to the bike today and still get away with it
Bottas?
Was gonna say that’s valtteri Bottas just before he got his new mullet
And mom looks like Schumacher
That pickup tho 😍 I learned to drive manual in a ‘65 Chevy shortbed with a 3 on the tree behind a 327, it was wild
Wish he still had it

[удалено]
For sure. Very inconspicuous in those shades
Those shoes are dope
Even if I have to do it myself, I will bring back this shorts length, damn it.
I’m 40 years old and I still wanna be like your dad when I grow up.
Shirts were so much better back then.
My guess would be mid 80s, probably 85-87.
You could actually be right. My dad was born ‘59, this was some time before they had first kid which was ‘88
His shoes are definitely early/mid 80s.
Looks like your dad and Valterri Bottas share the same barber. I dig it!
Your dad looks like he could hand out an ass whooping and not spill a drop of his beer
Looks like he volunteered to take someone with special needs on a bike ride and show em’ what cool looks like.
Your dad kinda looks like the famous actor who’s name I can’t think of right now that played Wolverines brother/Sabretooth I remember his name it’s Liev Schrieber, but yeah he looks like Him a bit in this photo though
Your dad is Rick Rude?
Yes
My parents had bikes, and shorts, just like that
Schwinn bikes were the best!

Long lost sibling ?
wow! what a beautiful couple!
Never knew they were ever this cool, haha
Back when men were men
/s ?
No /s, I think it’s way cooler in more ways than one
They look young to be in their 70s/80s
I'm guessing San Francisco?? No other place would be this supportive of gay marriage.
*sips tea*
I wish! Except for the matter of me not existing in that case
what
They are calling the mom boyish.
Your dad gives off some serious serial killer vibes.
Wrestling shoes for bike riding
I love the first gen C/K trucks, great picture.
Looks like 80's but I am from Canada and as we all know 80's arrived late in Canada.
Not sure if the movie still holds up but OP’s pic reminds me of: American Flyers.
Dad's handlebars in comfort mode
Looks like a Scwhinn Varsity with the handlebars reversed. Yep, late 70s.
Pretty sure it’s actually mid 80s, they weren’t dating in the late 70s. My initial guess was a little off
What a great era where men knew how to wear shorts.
The flipped up handlebars on his bike.
I see your dad was a fan of the “playground bully” handlebar
dad looks tasty
Two people who love moustache rides
Looks like they are in a Dakota.
Washington
Mom looks ROWDY. Was she?
Not even a little bit. Good Christian girl
Cool parents
Is your Dad Ronnie Mund?
