Do you think women who grow up with a good father & are close to them will eventually marry someone who is similar to their father in personality?

Do women look for their father's qualities when measuring up a guy?

And if a woman grows up with a father who beat her or emotionally abandoned her, doesn't it make sense that she would sub-consciously get involved with men who do the same thing to her?

Yes, I think that women do look for their fathers qualities when looking for a husband, if the father was a good man. I know that personally I would want someone who was very much like my father or grandfather, because they are the only two men on earth who I actually respect.

I don't think that if a woman had a bad father who was an abuser, would want someone like him. Wouldn't she try to escape the horrors of that sort of life and go for someone very different? It doesn't make sense.

I only wish (not look) that he will have my father's food taste and sense of humor thats ALL.
by saying food taste i mean, he loves to eat outside and no matter how hard you cook for him at home he will still get something from out and eat it along with the home made one! (isnt that a blessing, I like cooking but it would be nice to not WORRY thaaaaat much what to cook and how it is ..etc)

Otherwise, no i don't look for my father and to answer specifically to your questions I'd say Maybe maybe not. Happens but not all the time.

actually, i did not set it as a criteria that he should have my father's qualities but, somehow i feel i am going to end with someone who has alot of qualities that do exists in my Father ,which am Glad :) .Hopefully, not the multiple wife quality !! :D

I hope I end up with someone like my father.

I dont :p
I mean I have my own Imaginary husband , he doesnt have to be like my father at all , i dont think it has any affect , unless your 24/7 with your father and you worship him like anything then maybe yeah !!

This is very dangerous for both husband and wife, because both will be comparing the qualities of each other with the qualities of their fathers and mothers. This will result mainly in an un-fair judgments, because fathers and mothers are grown people with grown emotions, and responsibilities which they gained during a long period of time. And unfortunately the “Mature” image is the image in the wife or husband’s brain, unconsciously this happened not with intention. So the wife do think that the husband is not staying and caring for home like her father did, and the husband think that his wife is weaker, and can’t do the household work in a professional way like his mother (especially cooking). So what I want to say is:

Take care it is dangerous!

i really wana my future husband to be as i imagen him ,,, for sure he should have some of my father,,, but still i wana him different ,,,

casue if he is just copy of my father ,,, i will keep compare both of them ,,,

I can't see my husband like my dad.. and I don't want to. I want him to have one of my dad's good quality; he never thinks of having another wife and loves my mom like crazy!

I agree that if she's so close to her father, will look for some body like him, but not necessarly she's gonna marry that one. Cauz when u r in love I think u gonna forget any of your past day dream!

I think it's true. A girl somehow looks for a guy who's got so much in common with her father. I think even those who aren't happy in their own families will sunconciously look for someone who's like their father. I think it's got to do with trying to live within the same environment that you've been living in all your life. Like trying to avoid change in someway.
