I agree in a generalized sort of way.

However, I've known some "mama's boys" that were not at all good dating material as a result of how close they were with their mothers.



...thats a ditto........

There is a very interesting and unique bond between mothers and sons. At times, it is hard for them to transfer from mother/child to adult/friend with a motherly influence and concern. In sum, there are mothers that just cannot let go, and sons that don't want them to or aren't ballsy enough to cut the ties that bind.

Men who respect women do so because they are respectful people. The mother may have held some influence in that, but not necessarily. I believe I read in another post that the father plays a large part. I agree. The same sex parent is the most influential one. The children who get to see their father or father figure treating women with respect.... that is what builds it more than anything. If you combine that with a mom who demands, displayed, and instilled respect in her son, that doubles the influence. flowerforyou

Close to their mother hmmm.... I believe family is very important but I dated a guy for a minute that would call his mommy everytime we had a disagreement. YUCK! I believe guys that have sisters tend to be educated ha ha for lack of a better term at the moment

I respect my mom, but do not get along with her.
What does that mean?

I dissagree. I don't really have that good of a relationship with my mom but still go out of my way to make the girl I'm with feel special, and treat her right.

I think it means you are human. And still a great guy. JMO... but I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Depends on how close and how nice or not so nice the mom is..

drinker

I think they should respect their mom ALWAYS.

My mom told me...Always respect the person who waashed your underware, and if you wash someones underware, and they don't respect you.... time to move on.


Good advice, thanks mom!

It's not just a mom thing.

I like people who respect and treat EVERYONE well. It's a safer methodology when choosing a mate.

Then again, I think I'm the male version of lily, which could mean I'm nuts.
