You know, I don't have a huge number of women to reference in this case, but the one that comes most to mind is this girl Madison, a girl who worked for me as a part-time nanny. When she was 11, her father renounced his rights to her and her brother in exchange for immediate forgiveness of all of his back child support. She was in the court room when it happened and talked about how she was completely shocked when he made that choice. To this day, she hasn't spoken to him but she admits that she'll look at his Facebook page from time to time and wishes that she could message him to ask him if she could come over.
I'll say this -- Madison is an incredible girl. She not only does part-time nanny work, but works full-time as a CNA where she cares for the elderly at an assisted living facility and even has time to do spot work for a modeling agency. She's responsible, funny, caring (my girls love her), and I just see nothing wrong with this girl at all. Does she have daddy issues? No doubt -- we talk about it all the time. In fact, she has said that when she sees me with my girls, she gets a bit jealous but at the same time, she wrote this wonderful declaration in support of me during my divorce.
I mean, this is just one example and maybe Madison is an aberration, but I almost think that having a crap father made her stronger.

That's an interesting question, and quite a deep one I think. First, the daddy issues which can be massive in a girl's mind and then whether it's a deal-breaker... I'd say it depends how the daddy issues are expressing themselves - very openly and obviously as part of a huge emotional trust thing, or just wanting someone 20+ years older for support as a "daddy"?
I'm not a guy but I don't think it would, no. If you're working through some psychological problems your partner should be respectful of that and if they can, help you work through them.
Some guys might be uncomfortable with you calling them "daddy" and all of that, and if they are, then you shouldn't do it. But having some issues is no problem, everyone has some kind of issue.

Some guys might be comfortable with it. It's a big world, and there's someone out there for everyone.
Depends on what sort of issues. If it's an open wound from her father figure that hasn't healed, it wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker, but she'd need to heal so that I could have a defined place in her life rather than just as a substitute for paternal validation.
If she *has* recovered and it's just a residual kink, no problem at all.i guess it depends on the extent of the daddy issues. but it's certainly a red flag and then it's a matter of gauging how much those issues will impact a relationship
As a man I didn’t have daddy issues but I suffered abuse as a teen so I really understand where girls are coming from. I’ve actually had quite a few relationship with girls who have had this or similar issues. It honestly makes no difference to me, I think it can actually make you closer in some respect. As a man could be the one that she turns too for help and support. As long as the guy is genuine , understanding and patient then I can’t see a problem with it whatsoever! Hope this helps!
Nope, not for me. I'll also take into account to what extent her daddy issues are.
We all (well most of us anyway) have issues with our parents in one form or another. Daddy issues is just an easy "catch" that people use that are too lazy to figure out what is / are really the issues.It depends. If she starts to call me Daddy, in that case its a deal breaker. However if she has daddy issues by simply missing him, doesn't like him or else, that's not a problem.
Can you elaborate? when I think daddy issues I think of a woman who is a misandrist, aka who hates men and has issues with them in many ways. Delusional man hating feminists come to mind.
Depends... What issues... Generally though, if she has daddy issues, she hooks up with a guy just like her dad... I'm a great dad, so girls with daddy issues would probably not choose me. :)
Depends how it manifests. I personally think it's hot to be seen as a daddy to my princess (ddlg type of way). So yah...
since those are the kind of girls that turn out to be single mothers, cheaters, sleep around, have a high number, super kinky... etc
i say yes it would be an issueNot a problem enough to be a deal breaker unless she's extremely damaged.
Maybe. If she’s a huge slut or hates all men then yah I’m not gonna go near that
Yeah! What if she left for some older men or chest on with some old dude
Not at all!
I tend to be a lil' bit fatherly myself when it comes to fantasizing 'bout treating my womanI'm at that age where I wouldn't necessarily mind it.
Depends on what type of daddy issues like if her father abused her or abandoned her or even abused her mom.
If you are a licensed psychologist maybe you could ask something like this I’m going to assume that you Are not a licensed anything so that is a silly question
Nope, actually can be a turn on depending on how she treats it.
Not really, there just more to care for 😊
What kind of issues? How would these issues manifest?
