It's a cultural and society thing...
A "daddy's girl" means that she admires her dad- meaning she looks up to men, and what our cultural traditionally wants. Good behaved girls. and the dad's teach the girls to rely on themselves and have high expectations for the men they chose as partners. They want someone who respects them as much as 'daddy' did- to a certain extent.. and I don't mean this in a perverse way or anything.
A "momma's boy" however- is that- relies on his mommy. Needs his mommy. But in our society men are supposed to be strong and independent- and not needy or emotional.
so that's how I percieve it.
I am a daddy's girl. and I have a couple of friends who are as well. We tend to be pretty independent and all were taught that we should be able to take care of ourselves. All of us went to school, got good jobs, then focused on relationships..

I think it is a simple matter of gender.Girls are generally more protected than boys are so if they are close to their dads,well that's okay because fathers ( at least the good ones )are protective of their daughters and the boys have to go out into the world and do brave manly things. As for why it's bad to be a Mamma's Boy ,I blame the mother's and society, One: Since time immemorial it has been a woman's duty to produce son's ,so naturally the women will prefer the one sex that brought them a high status ..ect. And it is biological the mother's see their son's girlfriends or wives as the Other Woman (believe it or not) and so the son's mom's will try to ruin their son's marriage and get rid of the daughter in law and so Sonny Boy can be dependent on Dear Old Mom again. Just read Oedipus Rex.

Because a Daddy's girl, much like myself, grow up to be strong independent women. We don't have to rely on anybody, including our fathers for anything.
A mommas boy is just that. He pretty much always needs to be asking momma for advise and making sure that he doesn't upset her. momma babies the boys the most because they don't want their boy to grow up to be chauvinistic males. they want them to be sensitive to woman's feelings and bull-crap. Most of the time you will find that the men that were mostly raised by their moms either are a lot more sensitive or are gay. Girls that were raised by their fathers, or had more of a relationship with their fathers, they are either stronger than most females, or are gay or bi. What I mean by stronger is not necessarily just physical, mental as well.

I would have loved to live in previous generations where these type of things were understood. A boy grows into a man who loves and protects a wife and children someday. His entire purpose is to be a man, a good man.
The Daddy is a man who loves and protects his daughter and models for her the kind of man she is to seek. (There just isn't any room in a real man's world to be a Momma's boy)

I was a daddy's girl from the day of my birth until the day he died. My brother was a momma's boy. Lived at home until he married at the age of 33. Nothing wrong with either.

well i think both is bad, and it is a stage in life when a child has to be through with it.. because it doesn't look good for an adult.. do you know the story about oedipus? i suggest you red it, it's in greek mythology (this is for the boys) and for the girl's being daddy's little girl is just the product of having a penis envy with your dad.. quite shocking but true i suggest you go read abot "psychosexual development " by freud this will clarify you of some of the things that confuses you.. and to better give you knowledge of what shoul be the normal stages in life that you will have to endure..

It's not bad to be a Momma's boy unless you are over the top.

A daddy's girl is a girl/woman who has high regard of her father, consider him a role model and rely on him as her protector, teacher, guide..etc. This is quite acceptable because it follows the norms that children should love, respect and obey their parents.
However, a mama's boy is a boy/man who is totally dependent on his mother on everything he does and needs . This is not acceptable because it means he's a weakling, could not stand on his own, and could not decide without his mother's help, characteristics which are all contrary to the general standards of society.

I personally don't think its bad but we as a culture see feminity as being weak. Again I don't beleive this but many people do. The more manly something is the more accepted it is because we aren't being "weak"
