Because obviously his mother is the first woman in his life who he will compare others to....Is this true or not?
I have my own views, but want to see yours.

From what I've observed over the years and the type of women my sons are married to, gotta agree. We teach them from tiny tots and onward, the kind of men they will be.
Absence of/abusive man plays a role too.

I'm a strong believer of this. The same goes for the way a woman treats her man based on how she treats her own father. The key word is "respect". One will not put their SO any higher on the pedistal than their own parent of the opposite sex, at least 99% of the time.
I have two ex wifes to prove it. I wish I had known this a looooong time ago...

I don't think that's the final word. A son could have an abusive father, but treat his mother well to protect her. Statistics show that he will grow up to be a wife-beater, even though he treated his mother well.

I hope so. My boyfriend has a great relationship with his mother, they are really good friends and he does loads for her as she's not well at the moment. He never complains about it either. And he manages to do all this without making me feel left out.

What a crock. My wife is fantastic and my mother is a backstabbing, conniving, selfish, one-sided battle ax. My mother could be on fire and the best she could hope for from me in the way of help would be a bottle of Everclear. I would take a bullet for my wife. My wife is a princess and no woman can compete with her. She's not selfish, cowardly, treacherous, materialistic, or whiny. She's 100% real life and finding that is rare.

I really don't think that's true - my other half of 3 years does not treat his mother amazingly as she walked out on him when he was 12 - they have a v rocky relationship.
On the other hand - he treats me like a princess - and if I let him would go out of his way to do nice things for me.

So many put on their game face for you, that you are fooled into thinking that is the the way they really are...then during the years of knowing (being married to?) this person, they drop the personification, and bam! they aren't so great anymore.
People will still put on an act around their mothers; you just can't go by that.

It depends what relationship they have I guess. My test for a man is how he behaves when he is drunk. Any signs of a temper, anger or an attitude when under the influence is instant dismissal! That is when you see a man's true colours.

a bit of both because a man can treat his mommy like gold and a queen and then turn around and treat other woman like crap......
BUT yet again there are those men that treat all woman respectfully which is how it should be

I think if he was respectful and good to his Mother, he would be good to you. On the other hand if he did not like or love his Mother, you may have a problem.
