My father was constantly away on business trips when I was younger. He wasn't actually "HOME" until I was pretty close to 10 years old and, even then, he was not active in my life. Other than that, I saw him on weekends (but he came home very late at night on friday and left very early in the morning on monday) and saw him when he had a nervous break-down, between jobs.

My male role model, which was an uncle of mine, was not there either, and when he was he was not doing anything a father should do. He was not a good person and had no care for me. I saw him on weekdays, usually if my mother needed a babysitter. I spent a lot of time with him when I was VERY young because my parents couldn't afford a real babysitter and both of them were working. The time grew shorter, as I grew older, when I started school and after my mother eventually quit her job due to a back injury. The time I did spend with him I was with him trying to NOT be near him because he was very mean and I did not like him at all.

I am now 21 and am happily dating a man that is 38. The age difference is pretty large but I am incredibly happy--for many reasons other than the age, mind you. We've been dating for almost a year and he has taught me a lot. Some things he has had to teach me were things I should have learned when I was younger.

I don't know facts, but I know it has pretty much happened to me. My father was constantly gone and the only male figure I had in my life was pretty cruel to me. I can rely on my boyfriend, and he shows me all of the time how much he cares for me.

Everything you experience changes your future, especially when you are very young. If all men in your life were evil to you then you may develop a fear of men. If your mother was neglectful then you may not attach to women and have little to no female friends. If you were always picked on, severely, when you were little then you may steer away from making friends altogether and become a loner in every aspect of your life--even your dream occupation may be that of someone who must work alone for long hours. Just like if you're taught that sex snags a good man--you will eventually believe that if it's drilled in your head enough and by the time your life has ended you've had sex with nearly 300 men looking for love.

In short, it could happen that way but not always. I've heard the same thing from a few people and it has related to my personal life, but may not relate to every girl who has been in a similar situation.

I hope I helped give you a little feedback on your question. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

Sometimes if the father was really awful to the daughter, she might look for guys when she's older with similar traits to her dad.


What you said is possible, but it's certainly not as black and white as you make it out to be. The fact of the matter is that things that happen in our youth affect the traits that we find attractive when we're older. That's why children that are abused typically become abusers themselves or go into abusive relationships.
