    I have been thinking alot about relationships, I heard that you are attracted to men who are like your father. If this is true, then I am attracted to men who are never around, or are never around emotionally, they joked too much, are frugal, and don't want a family.

    I hope this isn't true but it would explain why I get like I do when I am in a relationship. When they are there and giving me attention I feel closed in and that they are needy.... not good.

    What kind of man would you be attracted to if this is true?

    if it's true... yeah, someone who isn't really there that much. Funny, and full of love, just incapable of being dependable or independent

    but that's not the kind of guy I go for.... I think it's more how you've learned to deal with that gender than anything else. If your'e used to dealing with men who are never there then it's a-ok. Fortunately when I was pretty young I got a stepdad so I've learned to deal with two very different types of men in my life, and I think it was a very good thing for me

    I think I married my mom, rather than my dad... what does that say about me?!?

    My mom & husband think alike ALL the time. It's beyond eerie. Guess it's a good thing I like my mom, huh?
    love,
    mom

    I was raised by my mom and then my stepdad entered the picture when I was thirteen. I like outgoing people, a definite from my stepdad but then again so is my dad :confused: this is getting confusing.

    I would apparently be attracted to an abusive sociopath-desperately clingy, obssessive, compulsive, manic...an emotional vampire. Mean with money and mean all round. My father was not a well man.

    My boyfriend is, however, the most gentle man i have ever met, and i suspect the most gentle i will ever meet. Laid-back, calm, considerate, generous and loving...:)wow im so glad the whole father things a myth. Unless its just because my case was so extreme, and i didnt actually grow up under his care.

    Xx

    P.s-In terms of looks, my father was a tiny little man, with blonde hair and little light blue eyes.
    Im most attracted to tall dark men, with big dark eyes and black hair. A reaction against my father? Who knows? Id like to think not, and that its just the way im made:)

    Hmm, I guess if I was attracted to men like my father...they'd be...irresponsible, needy, quiet, self destructive, and close-minded.

    I hope I never find that man that's like my dad.

    i think if you look hard enough you can find similarities in almost anyone.

    but i wouldnt be surprised if many people end up dating people similar to their family members.

    i can see similarities between my dad and all my boyfriends. but they were all very different guys...

    one thing i do know.. i could not stand dating, let own marrying a man like my father. its hard enough dealing with him as a dad.

    It's funny though, we all deny it. But think hard enough and you can see it. I think if you didn't grow up under the care of your dad then maybe it is different but then again this is just a rumor I heard :p Ruski when the fuck are you going to post pics of your boyfriend?

    I noticed a pattern of this in my current relationship, most of the men I have had relationships with have had similarities to my dad. But whilst it worried me at first I've learnt that this is mostly because my parents have such a beautiful relationship, 30 years of happy marriage and have a real yin and yang thing going on. I am very similar to my mother, so it makes sense for me to subconciously choose men with character traits similar to my dads, its my heart trying to find a relationship that works as well as theirs.

    My first boyfriend was alot like my father,
    and my father used to solve problems with drinking and beating up his
    wife and child. I learned that I was worth much more than that
    after I broke up with that first boyfriend, and that's when I
    started dating a guy that was much more like my mom,
    which wasn't a succes either :confused:
    I noticed that what I look for in someone now
    are things I admire from both my mom and my dad,
    and I'm not drawn to people who have the same bad behaviour as my parents anymore.
