Women attracted to men ...?

Question

that are in some way like their father, personality wise,even physically..not to say women want men to look like their fathers but u get my drift!

Answer 1

Its been said that woman are are attracted to men who remind them of there father because you learn from your father what a man is, but keep it around your age and only admire the man for hai characteristics and appreciate them

Answer 2

maybe because they know how to act around someone with that personality..so they feel more comfortable, even if it's dysfunctional. Like they know how to handle being treated badly,,so they take those "skills" to the relationship..that is not healthy at all.in this case you really have to do some soul searching before getting into a relationship. If he was a nice guy..then all the other guys will have to look that much better,,if you're judging other men by your great dad. This is why fathers need to treat their daughters with extra love and caring.

but a father figure relationship is not fulfilling..feeling equal would be healthier.. it's wise to break away from the bonds of a parental figure role to have a healthy relationship with another person.

Not that you can't take care of someone..I love baking cookies..being there for someone..and feeling needed.  

Answer 3

Ah yeah I understand. As people grow, and are taken care of by their parents they tend to favor one to the other. In your case, you probably had a father that strongly loved you and did many things that you liked. With this, you generate a sense of attractiveness to men that look like your father. It's nothing gross, so you shouldn't be worried about it. Who you love is your business.

Answer 4

I believe that people are attracted to men with some of the same characteristics as their dad's because they were wanted to love and respect their fathers even if they were treated badly.

I have someone I worked with who was physically and mentally abused by her father & she was always attracted to men who would misuse & beat her.

Answer 5

your father is the main male in your life that you are suppose to know and trust.  so following this logic, it would make sense that the man you would look for would be similar to your father.  if your father was bad, you would probably look for a bad man because you grew up not learrning about any other type of man.  personally, i dont think this kind of logic works for very long because after dating men that are like your father and realizing that they arent who you want them to be, you will look for a man that has traits that you find desirable independent of the traits your father has.  if your father was a great guy, truly, then there is nothing wrong with subconciously seeking a man that is similar to him.  you would probably be better off because you knwo what you are looking for.
