A Woman's Father's Role In Her Dating

Post Reply New Topic

That is a possible reason (although not the only possible reason). If her father has gone on and on about the importance of a good job and always talks down slackers and she wants to rebel against that, she might take up with a slacker just to spite him. It does happen. But it's not safe to just assume that's what's happening. But rebellion by proxy (finding somebody the opposite of some trait you dislike in your father) definately does happen.

Nothing is absolute in life, but I find it interesting because the women I asked come from VERY different backgrounds, the only commonality is they are white females.

It seems women choose one-night stands for three major reasons: sexual characteristics (looks and movements) alone, perceived emotional connection (usually the guy just telling good jokes), and status symbols (the girls have an illusion of it lasting more than one night). The first and second factors could net a deadbeat and might also be correlated with stuff that would turn her father off.

It seems that mature, successful clothing will attract the most women.

What if the girl is badly attracted to her father, and this shows through in her dating choices? What then?

Does the father man up and give her the finest pork sausage or what?

I don't think a father would have a role in the choices I made in the past about dating. I never had a father.

I've never been dating and I've never had a relationship, also I've never felt really attracted by someone; there's just one person I've felt a tenderness for in my life and that person doesn't have a characteristic that my father would hate; they are opposite in some ways and very similar in others. That's not that weird.

I have met some people that the absence of a father influenced their choices.

I've always seen that the major guys I've been attracted to share major characteristics with my father and my mother too...

My dad was introverted and my mom was very critical. I am always attracted to these things and it brings me mostly unhappiness!

I need to re-train my brain!

ya gotta learn to love the reflection in the mirror before you are able to see the people around you who would be good for you.
