I don't dispute any of what you said. I think it honestly depends on the relationships each of you have with your parents. I still ask my parents for advice when it comes to making big life-decisions, not because I am incapable of making them myself, but because I appreciate their wisdom and experience, and they may well have some good advice for me. I also think there is no right or wrong in this.
Would it be inappropriate for me to suggest that a bit part of it for me is chivalry? I like to open doors for women, to help them with their coats etc, not because they're incapable of it but because it's a chivalrous thing to do and I enjoy it. If a woman dislikes that kind of thing, there's a good chance I would either not be marrying her, or would have picked up on it by the time I think about whether asking her father is appropriate.
