When is the last time you heard of a HalfHumanHybrid who was human on their father's side? As stated under {{Dhampyr}}, these creatures' mothers tend to be human, and [[LineageComesFromTheFather their fathers... something else]]. In the case of [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]] and LittlePeople, a human just seems more likely to successfully carry a hybrid to term. Or maybe the idea of a human lady being seduced and ravished by some dashingly handsome male vampire/[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]]/[[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]]/[[OurAngelsAreDifferent angel]]/alien/whatever is more alluring to some audiences than the opposite, for whatever reason.
Additionally, a lot of half-human hybrids are the product of [[ChildByRape rape]], love-em-and-leave-em seduction, or tragic romance. Generally, it's easier to justify a GlorifiedSpermDonor if he's NotEvenHuman. Out of our traditional assumption that it is the men who travel and the women who stay home, or the simple biological fact that if a relationship ends or never existed in the first place while the woman is pregnant, she'll end up with the baby, comes the possibility that the child will be [[RaisedByNatives brought up among humans]].
If the father does stick around in a mixed marriage with the mother, that's still no guarantee of a happy childhood. [[MalignedMixedMarriage All will be discriminated against]], and chances are one or both parents will be killed by bigots... sometimes [[HonorRelatedAbuse inside their own family]].
