I learned from the Duggar wedding special that all sons want to marry someone like their mom and all daughters want to marry someone like their dad, and I always listen to the Duggars!!!!

I was thinking about this a few months ago, and am trying desperately to figure out when the douchebags I know turn into the fathers that we all adore! When do my idiot male friends become wonderful people?

Also on the list of questions: When do men start thinking it's ok to wear a mustache? Is there an age where they just decide "aww fuck it, I'm doing it anyway" and never turn back?

My father has not been a part of my life since I was 6 years old. In some way, most of the men I dated remind me of him - quick to commit, quick to change mind, quick to never hear from again.

I am marrying a man who is the as far removed from my abusive, sadistic, alcoholic, criminal, Republican, asshole father as humanly possible.

And then you married your daddy with a different name. Sex and dying in high society.

I would say that if you date people like your dad, because your dad's cool, that makes sense. I'm finding it interesting that people with crappy dads tend to do this too, though.

I had heard something like this a few years ago right after I stopped dating my last boyfriend. I happened to see a picture of my dad the next day and noticed for the first time that he had a similar gap between his front teeth that my ex has. I didn't sleep for days afterward.

My dad is a wonderful father, but not really the best husband. My physical type is very, very different form my father, but personality-wise? I am attracted to intelligent, kind, goofy, geeky, well-read men in glasses. My dad is an intelligent, kind, goofy, geeky, well-read man in glasses.

Some psychologist told my parents once that we should treat our children as we want their future spouses/partners to treat them.

I think there is a lot of wisdom to that statement.

My father makes terrible jokes and then laughs at himself, loud, and for a long time. I love my father, he cracks himself up. He's also a very nice guy. He and my mother are still together (31 years now)

The man I'm currently dating has - well let's just say he cracks himself up... I guess I'm in trouble.

I love this Dad pic. Sooo cute :)

I have an awesome dad, so no issues there (though I have consciously avoided Italians/Latins due to some 'old-country' patriarchy issues I could do without). I'm curious about fraternal twins though. I'm a twin (who happens to also be a Gemini) and I think so far the best relationships he and I have had involve individuals who are a lot like our twin, personality-wise. He and I already have personalities that are pretty complimentary - two halves of a whole, really - so it's completely logical. I'm glad he has finally *seen* this, because its been in the back of my mind for years. Anyone else have any experience with this?

I've never been able to figure out how this works for me as a lesbian. Am I supposed to marry someone like my mom? Cuz that ain't gonna happen.

The old saying is that 'you marry one parent and become the other'. Kinda creepy thought, if you ask me. I know that my first husband looked nothing like my Dad but was similar in negative traits. My second husband looks nothing like my Dad but is similar in the things I loved best about him, maybe that's why the current hubby is the keeper.

My dad is such a fuckwit that I have steered clear of any men the least bit like him, even physically!

But I have to admit that I can see shades of my mother in guys I have been with. Which I guess means I am the arsehole in the relationship. :)

This has been less true lately, perhaps there is hope.

And better they are like mom than like dad I suppose.

@eya: I had to chuckle when I read your post. Then I friended you. Good luck - you're right, better they are like your mom than your fuckwit dad! And it's good you're less of an arsehole lately. Yay Eya!

I've never dated a guy remotely like my father, either my biological father or the man who raised me from 5-present. I DID, however, marry a man just like my mother. I'm serious. The two of them are friggen BFF. They email at least once a day and talk about what books they are reading, what geeky sci-fi thing they're watching, etc.
