What you really want to watch for is, how does the man TREAT his mother? (Even if she is a basket case or otherwise emotionally unhealthy). Men who treat their mothers poorly will usually treat their wives the same way in the long run. A man who can have compassion for his mother, even when she has made his life hard is a good man. A man who really loves and respects his mother is usually a real keeper
My friends and I long ago decided that the best situation between a guy and his mother is warm but distant. He doesn't think his mom is a b i t c h, but she doesn't still buy all of his clothes, either.
Hi. I had a girl today tell me that one of the key things she looks at when considering a guy is what type of relationship he has with his mother. I never had heard it before, but I guess it makes alot of sense. Has anybody else heard this used as a factor? Maybe the same can be applied to a girl and her father?
Yes it shows how the man respects women. And if the woman has been raised with a loving caring father she will look for those traits in a man. There are other factors too. Some mothers that dont raise their kids, or were bad at raising them all together. Some men may realize that their mom wasnt there for them but they dont disrespect her. Or they may love their mom but know they need to love her from afar.
Yes, this is sage advice. For instance, men with difficult relationships with their mothers can sometimes make difficult partners. By the same token, men who are mama's boys don't make emotionally healthy partners you can count on either.

Yeah, tried to rep you and Chow but gotta spread it around. ^It's this^--my mother is a crazy lady but I can't just let her go--she truly doesn't know any better, and don't ask me how many years it took me to come to terms with that. However some mothers are truly evil so I'm not sure I'd judge someone harshly for walking away from a mother like that.
I absolutely believe it's true and have heard it many times. On top of that, I've used that information for myself. When I was single, I was always curious about the men and their relationship with their moms. It's important. A man who loves his Mom but draws the line at being a Mommas boy are good men.
A man who loves, respects and appreciates his Mother will do the same for his woman.
My guy is one of those and in turn, I adore his Mom. I think she's wonderful. In fact, we recently bought a house, she came up, helped us get ready,packed a lot of our stuff for us and even cleaned at the new place and I have to say, without her doing that while we were moving other stuff, we would have taken way longer. She was absolutely helpful and shared in the excitement with us. It was great.

You've never heard about that? Its a generally accepted fact that you can tell how a guy will treat you based on how he treats his mother. If a man respects his mother he will respect you. One word of caution though. Stay away from the mamma's boys. If he is over 40 and lives in his mom's basement.....RUN
