ladies, was your dad a good father? bad? It could make all the difference.

A daddy's girl seeks husband just like Pop

happy fathers day to all dads

the poll is mult choice because it includes past mates too

My dad was an exceptional dad, and my husband is an amazing husband. I'm sure the fact that I had a good and loving dad inifluenced my choice of a good and loving husband. Physically, they have similarities, particularly in coloring (dark hair and olive skin) and facial characteristics (handsome), but my dad's about five inches shorter than my husband. I've read in several places that if you're affectionately disposed toward your family, you tend to unconsciously select mates who bear a physical resemblance to them.

Happy Father's Day, Dad and Dave. I love you both so much.

My dad wsa a good dad and I am only just really starting to appreciate it.. in fact, now that I am almost 30, he's a better father to me NOW.
It was hard for a kid to figure out that dad didn't leave the family just becasue mom got custody... SHE left and took the family with her.
Not until I came to grips with that did I finally begin to look at my own relationships in a more healthy way, rather than looking for a father figure.
Happy father's day Papa! And happy father's day too to my stepdad, who has always treated me as his own daughter.

My dad is a bad dad, he was alright when I was younger but I think in the years that it really matters (pre-teen to teen) he failed lol. My boys never resembled him in any way. They're almost the opposite usually.

i don't have a boyfriend, but i have the most wonderful father ever! we are like best friends.

that is really creepy that you select mates that look like your dad. it's true for me b/c most of the guys i'm attracted to have similar features to my dad when he was my age. sick huh? lol

my boyfriend looks nothing like my dad. My dad and I used to fight a lot when I was younger. It took a lot of growing for both of us to get where we are today, which is a nice place to be.

Seems just too Freudian for comfort, doesn't it? In the last article I was reading about that tendency to select mates who resemble our father and/or families is actually driven by an evolutionary desire to maintain our genetics into the next generation. If we choose someone who looks like our dads, we're more likely to perpetuate the family "look" and keep those dominant physical genes going than if we choose someone who bears no family resemblance.

is that why ladies sceam "daddy" when they cum

Ayee pappiii.

When I was a kid, my dad was "bad" - he was a raving alcoholic, silent fury type. But he got sober when I turned 30, and has been a peach ever since.
He lives in Washington State, so I don't get to see him much, but he's a dear.
My husband looks nothing like my dad, but he does look a bit like a younger version of my grandfather, and that is a sordid story, so I prefer to think it is just coincidental! Or maybe it is a way for me to subconsciously "fix" the past? Who knows-
