I suppose I grew up hearing my biological father referred to as my "natural" father. As Mom remarried when I was a toddler, my "real" Dad to me is legally my Step-Dad - as he's the one who was tangible.
The "biological" reference is a more recent bit of nomenclature, and I agree, it's usually in the context as a sperm-bank doner or a dead-beat dad. Genetics is the only relationship.
To me, my "father" was the man who died in 1959. My "Dad" is the one who taught me to ride a bike.
Can I ask you a question....?

I have a co-worker who, if you ask him that, always replies:
