Do women care about a guy’s relationship with his mom?

The girls I've been with didn't really give a shit. I mean I'll tell them the truth... my Mom's a bitch... she left me with a Grandmother that felt it was necessary to poison my food for attention... until I ended up having to live with my Mom. CPS took me from my Mom... I left at age 16.

Makes me wonder if chicks think of me as a bad boy when I give my story. Maybe they do... I'm definitely not fitting the "nice guy" persona.

Now for me... I've been taught by my father figures to look at a chick's mom if I'm considering a long-term relationship... because my chick... is most likely going to end up looking like that chick. If her mom is a big ole fat land whale that needs help to get out of a chair and can't even walk right... watch out. Your present day thicc chick is going to look like that... just give it time.

Every mature girl I know as well as dated has quizzed the hell out of me about both my maternal and paternal relationship. All have wanted to meet them and it seems to be a very big factor inside their head. I guess it is all they have to go on to get a sense how you react to others close to you. One even mentioned seeing how I relate to people who have had authority over me.

I think it is a serious matter for a quality woman mostly because their parents will be asking questions about your parents etc... Families need to respect one another in order to get along and be successful.

Some do, some don't.

My wife found it deeply troubling that I wasn't on speaking terms with my mother at the time, and even to this day my mother has a better relationship with her than with me.

Some do, some don't. I do, personally.

Why? Women don’t care if guys aren’t on good terms with father but they have to be best friends with their mothers?

[LazerBean]

I sure as hell care if a guy is on good terms with his father. If a guy has a screwed up family then there a huge chance that he is just as screwed up.

Up to a point, yes.

Personally no
