I've often wondered why some fathers of girls will use, manipulate and screw over women. Do they ever worry that once their little girls grow up that they might lose their minds over men just like their daddy? Do they just compartmentalize the two situations? Or do they think they can raise their daughters to avoid men like them? Your thoughts?
The way a father lives his life, and the way he guides his daughter, is not one in the same. Not every daughter, who has a womanizer as a father, will choose a womanizer as a mate. If anything, the daughter of a womanizer should have an increased awareness of what a womanizer is. The outcome lays in the way the daughter was raised. It takes a womanizer who knows what he is, warns his daughter about it, and protects her from scumbags like himself, to make a difference. Witnessing unethical behavior can be a positive influence, as long as we're learning from the mistakes of others, and not repeating them. With that said, at the end of the day, we all make our own choices. And, so will the daughters of womanizers.
The biggest influence is the parent of the same sex. Therefore, the womanizing father will have an affect on a son as well, he'll perpetrate the same.
This isn't anymore true than the blanket statement that women who have fathers who cheated will seek out cheaters as mates. Some men see a father who womanizes and make it a point to never do that themselves (much as some children of alcoholics opt not to touch the stuff due to their bad experiences with a parent who did).
Whether poor parenting causes kids to replicate their parents' mistakes, causes the pendulum to swing in completely the opposite direction, or somewhere in the middle, the only real certainty is that the actions of the parents will affect the way the children choose to conduct themselves, whether for better or for worse.
And, also, the parent of the same gender is NOT always the biggest influence on a child.
The question would be: how come we often engage in bashing "womanizers" while ignoring the fact that a lot of women, including married ones, do exactly the same things womanizers do? The way I see it, women in general have the power over men to do whatever they want, specially the ones found attractive by men.
