Your boyfriend excels
at fixing both computers and cars, flips a serious pancake and provides tough
love, like Dear Old Dad. Or you've noticed he shares your father’s anxiety about
finances and also has a quick temper. Women have been told for years that we
look for love from men who remind us of our paternal parent, whether on purpose
or subconsciously. Do you think this is true for both the positive and negative
personality traits and talents of your dad?
Growing up, a father
is a mentor and role model, but he teaches his daughter more than just how to
pass algebra. From how he treats his wife to how dedicated he is to his career,
a father gives his daughter her first impressions of how men behave and react
to those around him.
Some experts believe
that marrying a man like your father may be an attempt to resolve an issue from
childhood days. Others think that women are simply used to living with their
father, so they seek out a similar man out of familiarity.
Ladies, do you think
that your man is nothing like your dad? Think of your father’s qualities, both good
and bad. Don’t focus on individual hobbies and preferences, like a love for red
meat and football, but rather think of personality traits, like honesty
or laziness. You may be surprised to find that many of the qualities overlap
with your past or current love interests. If you think that your blue-collar
father is nothing like your lawyer boyfriend, you may find that the important
qualities, like valuing generosity and dedication, are traits that they both
share.
Are you dating a man
like your father? xo
A friend of mine met someone at bbpeoplemeet with daddy issues and she likes men who are actually like her dad. Seems alright with my friend because he is the same. He is quite attracted to women who is like his mom.
