And women attracted to men similar to their dads?

No, this does not mean they want partners that look like their parents, they want partners that act similar to their parents.

I was just thinking and I realized that my type is similar to my mom’s personality…Independent, Nerdy, Smart, not boring, self-motivated, and lets me be in control of the stuff I want/gives me space.

Think about it lol. The type of women that you are attracted to. In addition, I’m sorry if your mom is a ***** XD

It depends on the man and his relationship with his mother.

I tend to date women that aren't very similar to my mom.

I would say "to some extent, yes" - if the relationship with mother is/was healthy - however, men may have various types, and "mother" type does not need to be the dominant because our lives are different than lives of our fathers and we may have different needs when it comes to the female character.

Still I think that more often than not, attributes/traits of female partners are at least partially in common with the attributed/traits of their male partners mothers.I think that similarity in character traits may be much more common than physical attributes similarity.

I'm certainly not.

I have a great relationship with both my parents but my track record is all over the place. Hot is hot, I don't really discriminate so long as I find them attractive.

As far as relationships, I haven't had a LTR longer than a year, so when I meet somebody I'm serious with I'll let you know.
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

I used to be attracted to a woman of my mom’s personality.
But my spiritual practice, martial arts and Yoga makes me happy, keeps me centered to know I require a calm, low maintenance, submissive Godly woman by my side to be my woman.

Not for me. I don’t wish to be emotionally abused, nor have my children emotionally abused.

After doing a lot of research in the psychology and manipulation of attraction, seduction is based on the following:
  1. Everyone longs for the adventure of childhood.
  2. Everyone seeks an escape from the pressures of reality.
  3. Everyone desires the freedom to break free from societal expectations.
  4. Everyone yearns for the joy and simplicity of childhood.
So yes, people often try to re-live pleasurable experiences from the past, and these experiences are unconsciously linked to parental figures. Individuals form emotional bonds with others who provide unconditional, devoted attention, nurturing love, and acceptance—qualities typically associated with a mother—or with those who offer authoritative, protective guidance, discipline, and scolding, qualities often linked to a father. Alternatively, people may be drawn to those who evoke parental desires by embodying energetic spirit, immaturity, annd innocence, reminiscent of a child.

In other words, this dynamic mirrors the Oedipal triangle, where each partner subconsciously fulfills the fantasy and the need of forming an intimate relationship with a maternal, paternal, or even a childlike figure.

I think an important caveat to add is those who had healthy realtionships with their mothers!

I've had the strongest relationships with women most like my mom. And I had an amazing mom.
