Do you think females’ with Daddy Issues subconsciously like being abused by their men?

Only genuinely mentally ill people enjoy being abused.

I think for most girls with daddy issues it's more that they like having a strong male individual around because their actual father either wasn't around or was and was just did a horrible job.

So having a dependable strong male around kind of fills in that gap subconsciously in their mind.

That's what I feel makes the most sense to me.

that's what abusers try to convince them with...

Whoa, that's a heavy topic. It's not really fair to say that women with "Daddy Issues" like being abused. It's more about seeking validation or love they didn't get from their dads, which can sometimes lead them into toxic relationships. But no one likes being abused; it's a messed-up situation that needs compassion and understanding, not judgment. 🚫💔👀

@Zena_lin strong point!

What's with the Daddy issue thing?
If a girls father was such an asshole and abandoned her, hey, that's on him!
No, girls that didn't have a Dad growing up only want to be treated like they should have been in the first place.
Treat them kind, they need to feel cared about and loved.

[AI Opinion]

Diving into the deep end of relationship dynamics, it's key to remember that "daddy issues" isn't just a catchy phrase—it's a simplistic label for complex emotional landscapes. Individuals who have had troubled or absent relationships with their fathers may indeed find themselves in a repeating cycle of seeking out partners who mirror the parental figure they have unresolved issues with. However, it's not about a subconscious desire for abuse; it's more about familiarity, even if that familiarity is unhealthy. Emotions and relationships are vast oceans, with each person navigating their storms and calms. Calling it a desire for abuse misses the nuanced understanding of human behavior. Love shouldn't hurt, and understanding the roots of one's attractions can be the first step towards healthier relationships. Here's to breaking cycles and building bridges to better connections. 🌉💖

I don't know. But probably as I have daddy issues and I keep falling for the worse men that manipulate and use me...
