Posted: 2/6/2006 11:10:53 AM | | Do you believe that some of us women are drawn to men like our dads? I never really thought about it before but when you do really think about it, are you? If you want to share, which ones of your dad's traits do you find in your b/fs or husbands? | |

Posted: 2/6/2006 11:21:56 AM | | Some one like my dad...lol now I have not found anyone like him but I would LOVE to meet a man that has his qualities...He was a great father, hard worker, talented, funny, silly, a good communicator, follows his dreams, and encourages my mother to follow hers, and many more awesome things about him. I just think that I would be lucky to find some one that is half the man he is...but so far no one has been even close. Not to say I want a father clone...lol thats just gross...but I had a good roll model of what a repectful good man is, and thats what I want. | |

Posted: 2/6/2006 3:33:49 PM | | I think it is different for everyone and sometimes it depends on the realtionship you had with your father. My sis definetely goes for guys that are like my dad, a sense of security for her I suppose, I however tend to lean less that way. Yes my current love is protective, hard working, like my dad but he is also a little soft, not like my dad at all lol So I think maybe we hunt down specific qualities, not necessarily all. | |

Posted: 2/6/2006 3:36:32 PM | | I don't know because my dad was a different person when he was young than when he got older. I guess he grew up. I would say a man who is grown up is appealing to most all women. | |

Posted: 2/6/2006 4:02:54 PM | Because of my dad, I do look for guys with good manners.
However, that's the extent of it. My dad doesn't have much respect for women. | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 6:08:05 PM | | My soon to be ex-wife said I was like her dad. She was with me 18 years and rebelled and left me. It seems because she had bad credit and I couldn't get anything with her name on it, her bad credit made it look like I was throwing her past in her face. Hey, i didn't ruin her credit, but stuck by her as she paid it off and bought all the major items on my tab and never quibbled. Sometimes looking for someone like your dad can have bad consequences. | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 6:22:24 PM | | Whew...heavy topic!! lol! Oh how I could go on about this one! I guess the one thing I look for in a guy that my dads taught me is strength...OH how he tested my patience! lol! FOR REAL THOUGH......Not looking for anyone remotely close to him. Just my input. | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 7:17:18 PM | wolf river Hell no, I'll say it, too. I don't want a man like my dad. I loved, admired and respected my dear dad immensely. And while there are character traits of his that I look for, I'd say the same thing for my mom, some of my siblings, a few teachers that impacted me. But to look for a man just like my dad..hell no!! My dad was as stubborn as I am and in a relationship that'd never work.  | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 6:49:04 AM | | My dad is a great guy, but if I was with a man like him within two weeks or so someone would find one of our bodies dumped in a field somewhere. That just wouldn't work. Waaaay too much of a personality clash. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 6:56:59 AM | No, I'm not attracted to men that act like my dads. My dad is affectionate. I like men that are strong and silent and do not show emotions much. The only trait of my dad that should be in my future boyfriend is his intelligence and his compassion for the poor and the unfortunate. Other than that, I want someone different from my dad. My dad treats me like a 4 year old and is over protective sometimes. So, I would not want an over protective boyfriend either.
I'm sorry but I don't have Electra complex. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 8:05:39 AM | Well...if you believe Sigmund Freud, we are all looking for mom or dad in a relationship...
at least the qualities anyhow... | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 8:05:46 AM | | They do say that we subconciously seek men like our fathers. My first husband was like mine: insecure, self-centered (seems to go hand in hand with insecure), demanding, controlling, and abusive. I have since come to accept my father for who he was and believe I make better choices now. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 8:26:11 AM | Chances are pretty good that when a man/woman hook up in a longterm relationship they'll either marry some traits of their dad or their mom....and it doesn't always have to be bad...however, mine was. I married my dad, and I took on the role of my mom....I won't go into it, but it was toxic, and took a few years of introspection and talking it out to change how I thought and who I was. The realization that the relationship I grew up with was a tragedy, wasn't easy to get over.... but I did.
Anyway, we are all destined to repeat unless we understand where we come from.
There are absolutely no repeats here... | |
