Hey (GIRLS) and (GUYS) is it true?

Yes/no. I myself have had a real rough time w/my mother. I found that I had to distance myself from her in order to keep from going crazy. I did learn to listen to an argument and to lower my voice when the other party is angry (diffusing a situation). I think that it's one of those things that a guy really needs to want to change.

I always found that if you treat a child with respect then you will get respect ( doesn't mean they get away with stuff though). Unfortunately my parents never treated me with respect but yelled and said things that were quite inappropriate for small problems that could have been handled maturely. So in my situation I don't think that it merits (still argue but can usually quell the beast before it turns ugly) the saying but if I was verbally abusing my mother or yelling when there is nothing to yell about then yes I think that it is something that would come to pass for others.

You interact with people differently according to your relationship with the corresponding person.

For example: you talk to your friends differently then you do your teachers, co-workers and your potential spouse.

Your relationship with your parents are different then that of your girlfriends or boyfriends. To say that a guy who has a positive relationship with his mother will intern be the same with his girlfriend is far fetched. Just the same to say that a girl's relationship with her dad will mirror her interaction with her boyfriend.

There are different crowds of people you will develope later on which consist of family, friends, co-workers and your significant other. Each in their own bubble.

However, there is a theory that holds some truths that closely relates to the question which is: Males and females usually look for a person who's personality is like their parent of the opposite sex. For example: a boy usually looks for someone who's personality resembles that of their mother.

Why is this? The true form of love that we first learn and hold true is that from our parents (if not our biological parent then the next closest person who offers the love). So as a male, we look for someone who has the personality closest to our first love, the mom. Later on this personality perference gets redefined but the foundation belongs to our construction of one's mother. Same goes for girls and their father (or lack their off which often is reduced to images from the media offering definitions of masculinity, a whole other tangent).

I think there's a lot of truth to that but not 100%. Some mothers are certainly not the best in the world but they're still the guys's mother so he still owes her respect. Like he shouldn't be arguing with her all the time or just ignoring her but he should be trying to treat her with respect. If you see a guy doing that you can be sure he'll treat a girl good that he loves. Some guys treat women really nice when they're getting something from them of they're making them look good, but it's when she has problems or there starts to be some differences is when you'll see how he treats his girl or mother. It's easy to be really nice and sweet to someone that is treating your likewise and/or giving you things or taking care of you or you love each other and everything is going great at the time. Also look how he treats waitresses and the tips he likes to leave or how he handles other women in stores. All those will give you a pretty good idea of how he'll treat you someday when there's a few rough spots in your relationship that needs to be smoothed out. But no guy should put down his mother when she's not living up to his standards. That's the time to keep quiet about it and see if there's some way he can help her out or else just level with her and tell her you love her but not her lifestyle and until that changes she won't be hearing much from you. So that's my opinion. How he treats his mother he'll eventually treat you but I'm only talking about love and respect no matter what. You can still totally disagree with her lifestyle and let her know. .

So not true because like I treat my mom ok because sometimes she is a really mean person. But ya I treat girls like they were a goddess

I think so. I see it all over the place. It's not the exact same ways, but generally it is the same. One friend I have jokes around with his mother, almost to the point of downright disrespecting her, but he does know when to stop despite the fact that he pushes that boundary. When he's with girls, he's the same. He does respect them more, but he pushes that limit constantly. There are also obvious differences as to how he'll treat girls and his mother. He isn't exactly going to look at his mother and wonder what she's wearing underneath her dress, is she? Okay, bad example, but you get the idea.

Depends on the guy but no in my opinion, usually no unless he have anger problem or something similar. If the guy dislike his mother, there usually a reason(she did something to him, broke up with his real dad, hurt the guy in some way, annoyed him in some way etc. ), there's no reason to treat his girlfriend same way.

I think that just really depends on the guy. I was brought up to treat women with respect at least through my mothers side. So for me I would probably try to be best I can when it comes to that.

Now how I can tell you its not true is , my dad always respected his mother , but he didn't treat my mom too well and cheated on her? So all depends on the guys own personal choice.

I hope not, I hate my mother, but seem to get along well with the girls I date.

My relationship with "Mommy dearest" is not very good. There are many things that do not go well with us.
The majority of my relationships have been long-termed, though, and Things generally go well.

I hope I am not doomed to hate my wife like I hate my mother.
(if "hate" is too strong a word for you, then replace it with "dislike")

Not completely true. Me and my sister treat each other like shit but its not how we treat our girlfriends. we just have a bad relationship. I think the kind of relationship the mother and son share is a huge factor. Cuz I will tell you this, if the mother had spent years abusing his son you can't expect that later the son will have any kind of respect for her. Anyway, it all depends. generally speaking it does hold some truth.

I think its true depending on the guy. I know lately I have been treating my boyfriend like I treat my mom sometimes. that's not so much a good thing though cause my moms an alcoholic =\

I don't think it's necessarily that straightforward, but you can learn a lot about a guy from his relationship with his mom. If he bosses her around like she's his personal servant, he'll probably do the same to you (even if he hides it at first). A guy who is a mama's-boy, where she basically makes all of his decisions for him, is going to stay that way, and you're always going to be competing with her for his attention. She will always come first, and if she doesn't like you, you're just out of luck.

I think that for the most part it is true. Looking at past relationships, I have noticed that my boyfriends/husband had a great relationships with there mothers. Except one. That would be my first ex-hubby! Hmmmmm. And why did we get divorced again. Lol

That's funny that you asked that cos I posted an answer some time back stating that I believe that. I really do, cos if a guy can't treat his own mother, who's (in most cases) shown him unconditional love from the day he was born, with the utmost love and respect, how can you trust him to treat you well?
