According to Yahoo, a new study shows that "the type of men who makes women's heart flutter has a lot to whether she was a daddy's girl"

The new study suggests that women who got on well with their dads in the childhood are attracted to men who resemble their fathers; While women who had a poor dad-daughter relationship do not.

In the past, the previous " Oedipus Complex" theory and Freudian psychology has indicated women's such preference for men who look like their dads. This new study serves a further scientic proof to women's preference .

How about men? Do men prefer women who resemble their moms? Oedipus Complex originates from the ancient Greek myth about the Prince Oedipus. It seems to indicate that men have similar preference. However, there is a prerequisite that a good dad-daughter or mom-son relationship the childhood is essential.

I do not know if it is true that women want men who [look] like their dad; but it is true that it is very important in the emotional development of a girl, that she have a close and healthy relationship with her father. Her later relationship with her husband, will benefit from that secure and healthy childhood relationship she had with her dad.

I know for a fact, that I do not look like my Lao Po’s father !!! LOL

Maybe it can be explained by the Electra complex and Oedipus complex. Girls like their fathers more than their mother. On contrary, boys like their mothers.

Do you know the Oedipus the King? It is the Greek mythology. He killed his father and married his mother. Oedipus complex was derived from it.

It is reasonable to believe that if a woman's father was a good father she would measure all of her suitors by the standards her father set.

Griz326, you are right. This is quite reasonable. A responsible and caring dad will be the ideal man and the role model in the daughter's heart.

Women prefer a man of integrity, loyalty and responsibility. If he has a sense of humor, it will be better.

"Oedipus Complex", "Electra complex", Does every child have this kind of mentality? Does it exist in whole life of the child, or the mentality will change or disappear as the child grow up ?

Modern psychology support the "Oedipus Complex", which is very commonly existed in the childhood .
