What it means

A muscular tattooed man flexes while wearing a shirt labeled “RULES FOR DATING MY DAUGHTER,” followed by four philosophical rules about Stoic reasoning and self-control. The joke is that an intimidating protective-father meme unexpectedly gives abstract, pseudo-philosophical dating requirements, making it useful as an absurd reaction to someone setting impossibly serious standards.
