In a lot of ways. Both very intelligent, very driven to succeed/achieve/efficiency, both severely lacking in emotional intelligence/empathy, both pretty inflexible. Both work incredibly hard and are obsessive about being in control.
However my dad has, I think, very few normal human emotions. I've never, EVER seen him cry or even close to it. He will do anger, but deploys it like a weapon to get his way - I don't believe he really feels it. He has an almost utilitarian approach to emotion. Despite all this is do actually love him, because he will try to behave like a good person who feels the right things. But I think the rest of the world must feel quite alien to him sometimes as it's full of people driven by emotional impulses he just doesn't understand. He'll do anything for anyone, give money and not expect it back, drive to the ends of the earth to save someone else inconvenience. But it does feel a bit like a robot running the "Kindness" programme.
My DP otoh... He struggles so hard to articulate and appropriately manage his emotions but I know they're there. Also he really needs people, whereas I think my dad would be perfectly content totally alone in the world.
My dad loves to debate, my partner hates it (dad overconfident, partner insecure).
Both can be incredibly selfish and insensitive.
Both can be incredibly helpful and thoughtful in practical ways.
DP doesn't have dad's capacity for targeted cruelty; but he also doesn't have his gifts of charm and persuasion.
So there's a lot of similarity, and I'd say th main similarity is that they are both very difficult, complicated men it is somehow impossible regardless not to love (if you're me anyway).
