Is it just me or do girls without fathers have more issues than girls with fathers?

Question

I am asking about this because to me, it seems like that girls without fathers have more issues (drugs, pregnancy,etc) than girls who have fathers. It seems like when they don't have fathers they jump into relationships more quickly and are more likely to hurry things too much. Also, they tend to be more slutty acting in a lot of cases

Answer 1

Research shows that what you are saying is true. Sadly true.

Girls don't do well in relationships when they do not have a loving, fatherly example to learn from. They often choose the wrong kind of guy, because they don't know what the right kind is.

I had a father at home.... well.... more like in the taverns most of the time. He is an alcoholic, so we never had any of those nice fatherly chats... know what I mean?

I've been married twice and it took me some time to realize that I don't know what to look for! But I'm learning now!

Some girls will do okay if the mother was there to help them and teach them. Most mothers, even the best ones, may not realize what a daughter needs when the father is not in the home.... so that gap is not filled.

they feel like they're are missing something and think they can fix that with some hormonal teenage boy, and maybe become promiscuous in certain ways just for attention, its not pretty. What she really needs is someone she looks up to, a role-model, someone who is responsible,caring, and supportive. She won't find that in a teenage boy who will dump her the next day, then her world will be shattered because that will reinforce the idea that all men she loves will leave her eventually. Even if you have to look to your grandfather, just someone who will love you unconditionally and make you feel protected would be enough to safe guard against all this. Some later in life psychological complexes are fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and seeking relationships with men as father figures instead of as equals which always ends bad, because eventually she'll "grow up" and flee the nest psychologically speaking. Most relationships are somehow used as a healing metaphor for the damage your parents did, or the needs you didn't recieve as a child if you're not fully aware of this possible issue you'll seek bad relationships over and over again, or even push someone away who loves you because you don't recognize a good thing when you have it, being that you never learned about long-term emotional bonds by example from your mother not having a healthy male relationship and your father not treating your mother with love and respect..I am guessing

Answer 3

Almost all women who have no father or a poor relationship with dad have a low self esteem. Without a man to prize them highly and call them princess for several years they generally get mixed up with loser boyfriends who are often abusive. There is also the aspect of boys passing dads approval test that is lacking which would normally filter out the baddies. Girls in this situation...you are still a princess even though nobody was there to tell you... you deserve someone who will adore you....don't settle for less!

Answer 4

That's not true, and I find that misconception offensive. I grew up without a father, and I'm doing well in all aspects of my life. I'm not on drugs, I'm not pregnant, and I'm not desperate. I have school, sports, and friends to keep me occupied and out of stupid life-altering situations. You just happened to meet too many of the same girls that made wrong decisions and coincidentally didn't have a father figure in their lives.

Answer 5

Uh, I think you're totally WRONG, I was raised by my mother only and she gave me good moral values. I have never EVER done any drugs in my life, although I could get it pretty easy, considering some of my friends do drugs. Likely, G_d has gave me a good brain to not to fall in the wrong steps or behave in a disrespectful manner. I think you better get your facts correct.
I am happily married and have three beautiful children (geniuses)
and a good paying job.

Answer 6

my mother raised me and my sister without a dad in our home and she did a hell of a good job....while on the other hand my friend and her sister had their mom and dad but they were out there doing whatever and her sister got pregnant at15...so don't be making it like girls who grew up without dads are slutty and have more issues cause thats not true i think it all depends on the parenting, another example one of my friends were being touched by her own dad and you think that didnt cause issues...i don't think the absent of one parent could mess your life up entirely...it's a lack of parenting skills... you have those who didnt have a mom or a dad there for them and they still made it.....and i know of plenty drug users and sluts that grew up with there dad in the home.... and just b/c their dad is there doesnt mean he's their for them mentally.

Answer 7

No, I think you are making a generalization. I know PLENTY of girls with dad's in their lives who make the same mistakes as girls without...

Answer 8

You're absolutely correct.

It's more reason to get married to the RIGHT PERSON and not overlook their faults and just hope they will go away.

Any kid who grows up without a father is at a disadvantage. It's very sad.

Parents, quit being idiots!

Answer 9

girls without fathers have more issues than girls with fathers

Answer 10

quickest way to get some is pick a girl that had her father leave her.

Quickest way to ruin your life, marry a girl who hates her father....
