somehow that is a turnoff to the average female despite being a noble and kind thing to say! Contrast that with a female who says that she'd like to meet someone the quality of her father. The average man would receive this comment as classy, and would show him that this lady is probably respectful.
Why do you have to bring up Mother or Father? I wouldn't want to give an impression of being a Daddy's princess (even though, I am ) nor do I want to hear you are a Momma's boy. Why not just state the qualities you like?
My father was a wonderful man. Kind, true and supportive but I don't want a man like my father. (He was also a chauvinist.) I want man right for me. The only contrast and comparing I'd like to do is with my list - the other totally unattainable image of perfection.

So a guy respects his mother and he's a mommas boy?
I've always been with men that love their mothers. Thought that if they loved their mothers, they would love and respect me. The only problem is, most men that really love their mothers, always go to their mother's for advice and sometimes you can never be as good as mom.
I'm not quite sure if I'd find another man that really loves his mother too much.

Respect is not the issue. The love of a parent is very different from love in a relationship. You might not see the faults in your mother.
For example: With one boyfriend, we spent every Sunday at his parent's house. His mother was a controlling passive/aggressive shrew. Nothing he did was wrong. He never saw her faults (and his because nothing he ever did was wrong) until it was too late.
I don't expect a man to love me like my dad because I expect to contribute more to the relationship than what my dad expects of me. It's a different dynamic. I don't want a daddy, I want a man who desires a mature, independent woman who is equally responsible to the success of the relationship. Parental relationships are a bit lax on that.
Take the good qualities of what you were taught but don't expect to be loved unconditionally.

I don't find it a turnoff. My Mom is still sleeping in the same bed as my Dad after MANY years. So what's the problem?
I don't know if it's a problem but it's not something most guys would want to say. I personally DID want a guy like my dad, but the guy I married fell short. Maybe it's because of the times or maybe I made a bad choice or maybe he really was less of a man.
Love my mother to death. Doesn't mean I'd want to date a mirror image of her. Agree that it's a totally different dynamic we're talking about here.
