Do NOT be angry, I have been raising 4 sons by MYSELF! I always made it a point to surround them around positive male role models (male friends of mines and their grandfather) to support and answer MAN questions for them, (My boys are 8 - 18), don't waste angry on anything, you have already been with girls so your already headed in the right direction and the fact that your 17 and not currently involved doesnt mean anything. Moms dont come with "How to raise a male child" book, but we do the best we can. My 18 year old son made me a granmother this year (i'm 37) and I didn't even have a fit (whats the point?) I wasn't thrilled about it but I have no control of such situations, BUT my son gets up and works 5-6 days a week and TOTALLY supports his son. He is a great hands on dad and showers his son with love....all that and raised by a woman and no dad!!!!! I am dam proud of my son and he will be a better man because his loser dad wasn't there for him. You will be fine. G'luck!

You may feel you missed out on stuff because your Dad wasn't around but that doesn't make you a bad person, although you are perhaps a different person to the one you could of been if he'd been around. Perhaps you are more sensitive and see things from the women's point of view? I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing. Do you have an older male family member you could speak to about it or perhaps an older friend? I don't think any girl would think bad of you because you've grown up with a lot of female input - they might actually appreciate it as a refreshing difference.

No. Don't be. It is a waste of your good energy. You missed some things, sure. But you gained some things too because you have had to take care of yourself in a different way. You have matured. You have been there. You don't lack anything but some confidence. You have a lot to offer. Just find the right person you might like to know and give it a try. If you don't connect right away, that's part of the game. It happens all the time. Just keep moving forward. Keep learning from your experience and you will be fine.

The quality of your relationship with your mother will determine your ability to sustain a relationship with a woman.
If you respect your mother and talk to her decently, have the ability to openly express love between each other, then you will be able to do the same with a woman.
In the same sense, a young girls realtionship with her father is important in determining the quality of the relationship that she will eventually endure with her husband.
That is why there is a huge responsibility on parents to maintain a good loving relationship with thier children.
There are some things that you have missed out on by not having a father around, but the positive is that you have a family. Work with what you have. Some people don't even have that.

this question holds no floor. there are infants that enhance up with out father or a mom. specially circumstances this is because of the fact a pair or guy or woman is gay, specially circumstances this is because of the fact a at present day (guy or woman) makes a decision to have a toddler at a similar time as not having a greater half, specially circumstances the different determine leaves, specially circumstances the determine dies.... there's a laundry checklist of motives for a one determine family contributors. there isn't something incorrect with that. this is not approximately 'fairness' to a toddler. in fact as long because of the fact the determine (gay or not) loves and seems after mentioned toddler to the appropriate of their skill then the toddler is getting each and every thing he or she merits. there are distinctive properties the place a toddler grows up with the two mothers and dads and the two mothers and dads do a terrible job of taking care of their infants (or not taking care of their infants). i could lots somewhat see a gay woman provide delivery to a toddler and love and shelter that toddler then see a husband and spouse have a toddler and forget it or abuse it. i don't think of this is trouble-free to apply someones sexual determination in choosing no depend if or not they might desire to be waiting to have a toddler. the only situation that concerns to infants is the affection, interest, morals, stability (which a gay couple supplies you) it is on the market... of course that incorporates the different daily issues like a house, outfits, foodstuff, and so on.

Yes, it's possible to lack awareness of certain things without a male figure when you're growing up. There would be no obvious male perspective with which to know how to deal and/or interact with women. There wouldn't be anyone around with experience to know how to become a man or develop masculine traits.
That doesn't necessarily mean YOUR dad had a clue how to deal with women.
I have no idea why you are asking other people how YOU should feel, so I'm going to ignore that question.

No, don't be angry.. wait.. Yes be angry...that he wasn't a better influence, but then let it go... Some dads weren't meant to be dads at all, and their influence could have brought more damage than not being sure how to pick up a girl.
Does growing up with all females have any impact on you ?.. Sure, you've learned more about what makes ladies tick better than most men out there will ever understand...Use that to your advantage.

Don't be angry. But don't be passive, either. If you see someone you like, talk to her, ask her out. The worst that can happen is that you'll be turned down and you don't have a date. Essentially, you'll be in the same position you're in now. But if she says yes, great!!!

Don't be angry - that's the worst thing you can do. Do you your best to be the man of the house, and hopefully your mothers and sisters haven't become to liberalized to accept this.

Yes, you should be very angry. What you need is a male role model to look up to.
