Isn't it incestuous when guys look for a lady that reminds them of their mom?

These guys basically just want to marry their mothers, even if they are unaware of it.

I always thought this is a bit incestuous.

Do some people find “abnormalities” attractive on other people? Do you judge people by the type of hairstyles they have? Are you against girls wearing makeup? Do you feel ugly without makeup? How much would a leather jacket like this cost?

Some psychologists believe that all men spend their lives in search of their mother. Even if they have issues with their mother and don't want a woman who's like her, they're still searching for a mother figure. I think that's a weird theory, but it's not incestual. They way I see it, they're not looking for their mom, they're just looking for someone with certain qualities.

its incestual if you want to have sex with your mom. its slightly incestual when you look for women that physically resembles your mom. if you just want a good and caring woman like your mom, then that's fine.

but all of this is related to the oedipal complex...wiki that for more information.

  Yea I know about Oedipus.
  
  But the types of guys who look for a woman similar to their moms always intrigued me because if I were to look for a woman, I wouldn't choose anyone like my mom. My mom is a fail of a human being. A waste of space.

  i think generally guys who go for women like their mothers do so because they like/admire certain traits in their mothers. if you're mother truly is a waste of space, then it makes sense that you wouldn't want to date/marry someone like her...
  
  p.s. I have mother issues as well. if you don't talk to someone about them, TRUST ME, they will come back to bite you in the ass and they will most definitely influence who choose to be your partner.
