I saw a report that showed that women who had a good relationship with their fathers, looked for a man with similar physical features. What are your thoughts?

I can see how that may be true, however my fiance looks nothing like my dad. They share absolutely no characteristics, and I am definitely daddys little girl.

I have an amazing relationship with my dad but I don’t think that women who have a good relationship with their fathers look for similar looking men but men with the same personality as there fathers and I see myself and yes I tend to go for men that have similar personalities.

Dear lord, glancing over at husband makes me think that you may have a point.

I don't believe it at all. I know a lot of people and not one of them have done so and i certainly didn't :)

In looks it can be true, as in men often like a woman who remind them of their mother.. sometimes its subconcious. Its been built into us since we were babies who we warm to and who we dont warm to.

We're back to generalities here. It is true, in a very general sense, that women tend to fall in love with their fathers andmen in love with their mothers. Having said that, I'm sure there will be plenty who will disagree based on specific examples. Okay, put aside the specifics and realize we're talking generalities. We tend to look for those qualities in a partner with which we are most comfortable. If we were comfortable with our parents, then we will look for the same qualities in a partner that made us feel comfortable as children. This is basically a natural phenomenon. Go figure.

No I dont believe this because what if your dad is an asshole. So you just go with a guy thats goign to treat u like an ass.

I have heard that women either fall in love with someone just like their father (if they had a good relationship) or someone opposite (if they had a bad relationship). I believe that is more true.

well it can't be the case all the time because I have chosen a man who is the complete opposite to my father, he doesn't have a temper (my dad does), unlike my dad who is happy for my mum to be the boss in the house, my husband will stand his ground if he feels I am not right about something, my father is quite happy with a job whereas my husband constantly strives for that better job! need I say anymore!

Whenever my wife compares me to her (now deceased) father, I find it flattering (and good fortune) since she adored her father and now adores his memory. He was fine example of what a man should be, so it's no surprise that she might seek a husband with similar qualities. On the other hand, if your Dad is truly a miserable man, then trust yourself to look for other qualities.

Sadly, yes I do believe it.

I found someone totally opposite my father, not on purpose...just the way it worked out.
