Why do they say that women who like older men have "daddy issues"?
I don't really see it as a "daddy issue"... The reason others say that is because a man who is much older than a woman is more likely to be controlling and act as a father figure, rather than an actual boyfriend or mutual partner. This isn't always true, but can be. Show you a 23-year-old guy who knows where he is and is mature? I'm 23, have two degrees, a job, an apartmenr, a car, and a high level of maturity... So age doesn't mean everything. I know lots of 30-year-old guys who are immature idiots. I think that you should put less emphasis on age and more emphasis on getting to know the person. My opinion of large age gaps stems on two issues. The first is stages of life. A 23-year-old woman is just starting to live her life in the real world. A 40-year-old man is wrapping up his active years and looking to settle down. She might want to be active, and he won't be interested. The second is just what the relationship is based on. Most older men date younger women because of physical attraction... Hey, if I was 40 and could date a hot 23-year-old woman, I'd do it in a heartbeat. It might not last long, but I'd enjoy it while it did. There are mature guys out there at all ages... Older does not always mean better. Good luck.
What does it mean to have daddy issues?
That's a really rude and crude thing for them to have said. A girl with "daddy issues" is someone who did not get attention or validation from their father growing up (either because he was absent or negligent), and later on life constantly seeks that validation from other men. (Sometimes a woman will constantly date older men who remind her of her father, treats her like a little girl, except that he support her.) Your parents divorcing doesn't directly mean you'll have "daddy issues", and I'm sorry it's getting messy. Having daddy issues is generally a bad thing, and what those boys meant is that they hope that you'll be emotionally traumatized enough and that you'll need an older male figure in your life that you'll date and/or have sex with them.
What does it mean when a girl has "daddy" issues?
supposedly it's because she had issues with her dad and so wants a man (usually older than her) to "take care" of her... idk if this is true. I have issues with my dad, and I do like some older guys (by 6 years maybe 8) but.. it's honestly because the ones that are my age aren't interesting... They seem the "same" and really most of them are just trying to figure out who they are. Of course I have NOTHING against guys my own age just haven't found one that seem we have things in common
Incest dreams? Do I have daddy issues?
I've had a few different dreams that were incestuous. They were always about me and my dad, never anyone else in my family. Each time it was my dad pushing it onto me and me not wanting to do it. Also each dream had an overwhelming sense of fear and discomfort. Just last night I had one and I woke up from it, but I wasn't fully awake and I thought the dream was real. I pretty much hated myself and couldn't believe that I had 'done what I did' with my dad. As I began to wake up more and thinking more clearly, I reminded myself that it hadn't really happened and I remembered my boyfriend, who you should probably know is 39 and I'm 19 (I don't need to hear your opinion on dating an older guy unless it's gonna be helpful in interpreting what this could all mean) Anyway I read that incest dreams can mean you look up to the person or something, but honestly..I mean I love my dad but he's a bit of a crackhead alcoholic and has a horrible temper. Soo do I have daddy issues or am I just having weird dreams or what? Oh and incidentally I did begin having these dreams around the time me and my boyfriend first got together (about a year ago)
