This is coming from a 17 year old female with VERY strict parents....
I seriously think that you need to trust your daughter's judgement. If you're confident that you did a good job raising her, then let her make her own decisions. She'll be out of your house soon enough, and you should give her freedom a little bit at a time so that she doesn't go absolutely nuts when she gets all of her freedom at once.
If you try to scare the guys off, they'll just end up sneaking in during the night or some other crazy horrible thing. Get to know the guy really well before you decide whether or not you hate him. Another good idea is to meet his parents, find out where he's coming from.
My dad wasn't too keen on my boyfriend for like the first month, but now that he knows him he practically loves the guy🙂
