r/AskDad is a subreddit with 30k members. The community frequently discusses dad, advice, relationship, father, and car, and they frequently recommend/review winter jacket, refrigerator, and jacket, and the most common flair used is family, parenting, relationships, getting it off my chest, and general life advice.
There seems to be a significant problem where many young people are without a good older "Dad" figure in their lives with whom they can talk frankly about life. Feel free to ask about anything. Life, death, sex and taxes. We're a helpful community and only ask that you be respectful and keep your elbows off of the table when you're eating.
