Do women who had a dad around growing up set higher standards for their boyfriend han womn who didn't have one

Answer 1

I believe so because my friends who had a dad around seem to kick @ss holes to the curb a lot quicker than I do and had no dad growing up.

Answer 2

Lori, a million kids have been without a dad and still have high standards--that is the smart kids who learn what life is all about and make good choices. Life is all about the choices YOU make--can't blame anyone else for the bad ones. You know that you are responsible for your actions and the consequences from making bad choices. Not just dad---but school and other places you go are prime examples of how to act properly---can't say you didn't know because your dad was not there. Now I said what I wanted to say--and I will now give you a few examples of the standards you should be looking for in a real NICE guy. He is respectful, courteous, educated, well groomed, interesting and fun....he is a good talker and a good listener, with dignity, self respect, integrity, no drugs or alcohol addictions, not into instant sex, and definitely not abusive or demanding. Someone who appreciates you for who you are. And you need to be the same as I described about him--stand tall, be proud, have self respect and keep your self safe. Good luck to you

Answer 3

No, Women who have had "great" dads around growing up set higher standards for their boyfriends. My father was an abusive jerk and I have had a heck of a time trying to break that cycle. Women who had no dad growing up have a better chance of a good relationship with a man than people like me. We are at the bottom of the pile and picking men. Once we realize what we have been doing they say it is possible to break the cycle - you could not prove it by me... Thanks for the provocative questions - made me thing -k-

Answer 4

No, I didnt have a dad at all. I never knew what it was like to have a man around, but my mom set the standards for herself and I guess thats where I got mine.
I am very picky and dont settle for anything less than what I deserve.
I dont think having a father figure has anything to do with the standards u set forth for your life and lifestyle.

Answer 5

Yes, research shows that to be the case. The girls with dads are also significantly less likely to be sexually active as a teen. They tend to be much more well adjusted, and they don't need that male reinforcement from any old guy who is out there looking. So they choose for quality, not neediness

Answer 6

I personally believe so. Having an involved dad when a girl grows up gives her standards. Girls look up to their daddys and want to marry a man just like them. This can also go the opposite way though... in the case of abusive fathers or emotionally detatched fathers. Girls look to their daddys to find out what a man should be like.

Answer 7

If they had a good Daddy, then yes-that is true. If their Dad was in-attentive or abusive, they might be out seeking attention or approval in the wrong places from the wrong types of men. Women have to learn to love themselves first...they are'nt going to find true happiness in a man without that.

Answer 8

I think that depends on what kind of father you had. If your father was an abusive alcoholic then your experiences would unfortunately lead you to the same kind of man. If you have a wonderful caring loving father who is there for you then you will want the same kind of man in a husband.

Answer 9

That could very well be true...many girls pattern there likes after there fathers character and the more they know about him the more simularities they look for and that could become difficult shoes to fill.

Answer 10

i noticed girls whos parents are divorced usually take their relationship farther then if there parents were together
