I never knew I was a momma's boy til about 5 yrs ago.
My mom died around then and after doing some introspection... IDK... I was a minor mamma boy... I never put my mom over the women in my life... I guess that is the really big turning point in mamma's-boy-ville.
It's the mommas boy who is still living at home with mommy that has the problem. The only exception is if he is the caretaker of an invalid mother. Otherwise, run. The bond between mothers and sons is naturally strong, but there has to be a time when the son leaves to form his own family, and his mother loves him enough to let him go.
Aren't we all kind of momma's boys? Whose mom ISNT the best woman in the world?
Burg, I don't know if you're throwing out bait for psychoanalysis on this one, being that a man's relationship to his mother seems to be pivotal in how he gets along with women, over the long-term.
My Mom is cool and my Dad was cool. Mom is cool in that she laughed at all the zingers the guys in the house would come up with, but aggravates me when she can't say something bad or candid about somebody, when she should, and I call her on it. Dad was cool in that he was direct and analytical, but he was more hot tempered and we'd lock horns. I get/got along with both of them, in different ways. During and after HS and college, I would take road trips with them, doing the chain hotel and coffee shop thing up through all of CA, and maybe over to LV. There would be different things I would converse about with one, the other, or both. I stuck around the house a bit after college to knock down some student loans and because we lived in an expensive city, before I moved to the other side of the country by myself.
As can be expected, I get along with women who can work with what comes out of my mouth ... and "you're weird," as in "not a conformist," even if you she was hot (that's not happening, anyway) and was going to put out (that's not happening, anyway), would still have me heading for the door.

Well yes. Noone likes insults. Praise is always welcomed.
See. Psychologist in the making. Reinforcement, conditioning, etc. It's all there.
