Are fathers more logical than mothers when it comes to a daughter's relationship?

[Anonymous]

My father is more straight to the point. He's ok with my current fiance and my mother is stuck on how great my 2nd ex boyfriend was. She's focusing on how he was the only man that gave her a gift on Mother's Day and for her b-day once, how he was a gentleman, took me out to many dates and other things. She said ''he might have had his issues but he was the best''.

Meanwhile my father gives him ZERO credit, instead a big fat F. He is focusing on the present time, on the guy that's giving me commitment.

I think your parents just have two different mindsets. Your father is a more of a “I’m happy with whatever my daughter is happy with” vs your mother is more of a “I’m going to tell it as it is” kind of person. That’s probably why your parents are still married. They have the typical married couple dynamic

Mothers have mothers intuition. They do not need to be logical to have a real reason for something

Indeed. My father tends to use more logic than feelings. The only way a man wins over my father is if he commits and makes me his wife and I'm happy on my wedding day.

Diving into the heart of your dilemma, it sounds like you're navigating the classic case of "logical dad meets sentimental mom." It's not so much about fathers being more logical than mothers, but rather about how each parent connects with different aspects of their daughter's life. Your dad is channeling his inner cupid, focusing on the here and now—your current fiance who's all about commitment. That's a big check in the love department! 🏹💘

On the flip side, your mom's nurturing heart is stuck in a nostalgic reel, replaying the highlights of your second ex, especially those that touched her personally. Talk about being charmed! 😍 But here's the scoop: it's your love story, your journey. While mom and dad's inputs are like the salt and pepper to your relationship dish, remember you're the chef here. You know best what makes your heart sing and who deserves the spotlight in your romantic saga. So, keep the communication lines open, sprinkle in some understanding, and let the unique perspectives of your logical dad and sentimental mom add to the richness of your love story. Here's to navigating the waters of love with a dash of family dynamics! 💑🚤

Not always, but in general, definitely.

True. While my mother was focusing on the past and the memory (on somewhat that's gone already and serves no purpose), my father is focused on the present. He makes sense.

I guess mothers are more logical

[Asker]

My second ex boyfriend won her over quickly and from time to time she still misses him. My current fiance is like a meh, ok to her but not as great as my 2nd ex. Meanwhile to my father, a man only wins him over if he makes me his wife.

My mom always support me to be in relationship but my dad he wants me to remain single

[Asker]

My mom is very supportive too. My dad has his own way. For instance he has agreed to fully pay for my wedding. He wants to pay for my day. Both can be supportive but differently.

[tasqueen]

Yes that's true

Males are more logical in general

Indeed. My 2nd ex boyfriend is just that, an ex and has NOpart (literally ZERO) in my life while my fiance will be my husband in the very near future. Meanwhile my mother was focusing on the past and the wonderful memories, they served nothing; my father was focusing on the present.
