We hear a lot about how men want their partners to be like their mom, why don't we hear about women wanting their partners to be like their dad?

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Because it's definitely a thing. We hear women complain of the former but I haven't heard it the other way around.

@shrimpenjoyer I don't want a partner like my mother. My mother was not a good role model as a parent.

[Shrimpenjoyer]

I understand. I am not implying most or even many men are like this, I am just pointing out women who thinks men are like that are toxic.

[Bricealan]

@shrimpenjoyer Yes, and I think that is a good point that you make.

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Thanks

I have heard that it's the other way around aswell. Not in a weird, sexual way. But in a way that it shows familiarity and comfort. You feel at ease quicker and are just drawn more towards someone that reminds them of their loved ones. Obviously in a different type of love way

Maybe in your bubble. There are lot of women who want their partner as their father.

I guess as much as men want partner as their mother.

You not quite understanding the context

Everything we read online is a "bubble" programs work in the background and show us what the algorithms calculated what is interesting for us. Sorry, I am too much in "Qualityland" (Marc Uwe Kling) so we only see what we usually see - our bubble. Other topics are not shown but exist. GaG in big - the first topics are shown where we usually read and write.

Ok but that's not what I meant

I never heard either of those theories in real life.

As a relationship coach, my aim is to spread love and laughter! 😉 It’s true that both men and women often subconsciously seek partners resembling their parents, which can be both adorable and a red flag, depending on those parent-child relationships you experienced growing up. Perhaps it’s the intrigue of the familiar feeling that no one talks about. Embrace the quirks, lovebirds! 💜 Remember, it's all in good fun, but ensure any partner bonds are healthy! 😊

I don't think I've ever heard a guy explicitly say that he wants his wife to be like his mother.

[Shrimpenjoyer]

That's something women say not men

[LazerBean]

So if women are complaining about men doing it, then why would women do it?

[Anonymous]

Its actually more true that women DATE men like their fathers
