I want my boys to find a female who has not had as much trauma as me. One that's smarter and more mature than I was back in those days. Has her own career and dreams for herself! Doesn't "need" my son, but "wants" him. Comes from a good strong financially stable family. A woman who is emotionally mature for her age. And wants to make me a Grandma! All in due time.

yss, i would. iI’ve made mistaks nd learned from them, but i’m ioyal, ambitious, nd always striving to be better. I’d want my son to be with someone who values love, respect, nd ofcz personal growth... just like i do. 😊✨

TheRealPepperPotts · Answer

Oh, boy... :D I wouldn't have much input into that, honestly. I think my goal is to raise them to choose good friends and influences in their life, and guide them into what that looks like when they are young. Then those qualities will be familiar to them in seeking a life partner.

I think about what I was like when I was younger, and I cringe, to be honest. I was so brainwashed and had the answer to everything. However, I think it's part and parcel of being young and dumb.

Immaturity aside, if I examine my pattern across all ages, one quality that carries through as a core aspect of my personality is the desire to pursue actual truth, change my mind when presented with new information, and grow. That element I deeply value and respect in others. So if that was the kind of girl my son brought home, I'd give him the nod. Just maybe leave out the stubborn streak and the less glamorous parts of me... :D

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

Yea, I would. This is a good question. I would like my daughter to date someone like me, but without some of my baggage.

Blunky · Answer

As I am now? Absolutely.

Before I did a lot of me work and personal development to deal with my traumas and remove negative influences? Hell no.

I'm very well aware of how most people who've been through similar experiences turn out. Most don't make it to my age without ending up in a locked facility or 6 feet under.

DarkCarousel · Answer

“Let” isn’t necessarily the right word. I’m raising an independent thinker so she’s going to make her own choices. But she’s just like me, so I hope she finds someone who will balance her.
I love who I am but I absolutely seek a partner who is quite different than I am.

I would definitely let my son date a girl like me. I was extremely sweet and kind in hs. I was a quiet and honest girl. Wasn't into any drugs, drinking, or sex even.. I was the "good girl."

If they were like me, we'd probably get along really well! But I'd advise my kids to sus them out first. Maybe they are redemptive and a great person!

Well , for now I sure would.. in my 20s hmmm , I'm not so sure , but my daughters made pretty good choices themselves.

Definitely. However…my hubby said I m very different then other women… so not sure if they will be able to find someone like me.

I don't understand the question. If somebody is like me then he's a great person. So of course my daughter is happy to date him and I'm happy with her having a good sensible ans sensitive boyfriend.
