The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My father is probably about the best I could have ever asked for — and I didn’t even have a say in the matter! And I realize I’m fortunate to still have a wonderful daddy in the picture, as it’s abnormal for women my age.
And although this sounded a little too “Oedipus complex” for me when I was younger, I now see that I would prefer a potential mate have many of my father’s qualities (not all, mind you, but a few).
For example, I’ve found that I’m the most attracted to tall men with dark hair — like my father. I certainly don’t discriminate against hair color, but the men I am truly, tongue-dragging-on-the-floor attracted to from the get-go have that Clark Gable thing going on.
More importantly, I hope my husband sacrifices for his family has much as my father and my mother have. They’ve both always put each other and the rest of the family before themselves, and I think it’s paid off as my sister and I have grown up.
Would you marry someone like your parents? Do you find that people you date have qualities that are similar to those of your parents’? Or are you the opposite? Do you usually date people who nothing like your biological mother or father?
If one or both of your parents haven’t been in the picture for a long time, are there male or female figures in your life that you compare potential mates to? Aunts, uncles, friends or coworkers? Who in your life is a great example of what a partner should be like?
