Fatherhood and Daughters....

does anyone else agree that having a good father figure is more important to girls then boys? I mean it is to both but the females i know who dont have a Father have serious issues. The Males i know who dont usually just grow up quicker then they should and dont have that much to deal with.
Its just my perspective but i feel that parents should always take responsibility for their kids but this is just something i noticed. do yall agree?

I think I would agree. A lot of the women with issues tend to have had either an abusive father or one who left them at a young age. I've also heard that kids in general who are raised more (or at least actively) by the father tend to be stronger and more independant. Not always of course, but enough to be statistically significant. Being a stay-at-home dad myself I think my kids are pretty independant and based on the way my wife handles them I don't think they'd be that way as much if I was out of the picture. Not to say that the way mothers raise kids is wrong, just different. It's probably best to have a balance if possible.
Ultimately though the thing that really matters is to have a parent (or two) who really love the kid and show it. A loving, caring and supportive environment is key.

Yeah... my father has never been a very good rolemodel to me, or ever been very nice, but without him I honestly, probably wouldnt be so independant as I am, as I am contuinually striving to be my own person and successful just to make him feel proud of me for once. But I also probably wouldn't have to go to a psychiatrist when i'm 18. Oh well though...I guess it just depends on the father/daughter relationship and the way the two people are.

yeah i read some study on this a while back. very common for girls without fathers in their lives to seek out lots of attention from older guys becuase they subconsciously want that kind of a figure in their life.

Parents should both take responsibility for their children.

I'd say an absent or "bad" father has a big impact on both boys and girls, but with girls it seems more likely to lead to some sort of emotional problem.

I agree. When I first meet a girl I might be interested in one of the very first things I try to find out is what kind of relationship she has to her father. If she says she hates her father and prays for his death then I proceed with extra caution. Just from what I've observed, girls that have a good relationsip with their father are more prone to having good relationships with other men.

I totally agree with that. Every woman I've ever met that has been completely insane has had a problem with daddy. Where as a boy who grew up without a father is usually more mature, ready to face life etc. They had to become a man faster and it shows. Not everytime of course, but enough to notice it.
I'm in that category by the way, growing up without a dad since 6th grade. I had to be kinda like a big brother/father to my younger brother. I've always felt older and more mature than the guys in my age group.
