Well, all you betafuuckers!!
I been gone for a while, but this thread has aspired me to post again after extended departure while enjoying my own Alpha-ness (lol....)
I think it would be helpful for me to share my extensive experience with women without fathers or had poor father relationships:
1st LTR - She was of an Asian ethnicity that is famous for very submissive female role and very unemotional expressive culture overall. Her father didn't really care about her well-being as he divorced her mother early on and re-married/had more children. I look back now, she was a little girl stuck in an adult meat suit with extensive issues about her ability to express emotions or what being a woman/partner is all about. Eventually she grew out of her submissive shell, threw some 8-yr old tantrum/aggression and I walked out on her.
2nd LTR - She was of Russian ethnicity and never knew her father, he skipped out after her mother got pregnant. She was a hottie - hell blinded my male brain and I got sucked into a BPD-like type of woman (no clue such Satanic spawn existed on Earth at the time). She was definitely picking men who she can control (I was a buttfukking beta back then), trapped me into a LTR, and had terrible boundaries and a temper of the Kremlin strapped with 20 tons of dynamite. She is a master manipulator, had uncontrollable behavioral issues - which all only surfaced AFTER she carefully games and incriminates you into her mental & emotional prison. I walked away after she struck me in the face with an object and never looked back. To this day, she still tries to contact me after 5 years.
3rd LTR - She was of German ethnicity and didn't have a father growing up but recently found out who he was. She was a hottie as well - but this time around, I was only 25% beta and had my BPD-proof armor on. I knew what she was pretty much early on, as I learned my lessons from the past - but decided to hop in and test the waters with her and have some fun. This woman was probably a major sl!t though she never told me, I can tell from her past history and behavior to draw some easy conclusions. She didn't have the capacity to BOND with a man, or trust/skills to do so. She manipulates man masterfully due to her appearance in order to get things done. After her shelf-life was up, I asked her to take a hike and she was out of my life.
4th LTR - She was of French ethnicity, had a father through her live although divorced to her mother. She was a relatively a normal 6 or 7, sweet girl and well-mannered with balanced emotions. I enjoyed time with her quite a bit, although she was too girly and helpless to my liking. I do not believe this is attributed to anyway to father issues, just personality (like her mother in much of same trait). I couldn't consider her to have a child with and she was on her biological clock end-times so we went separate ways.
Current LTR - She is of Spanish ethnicity, only knew her father up until early adolescent (past 10yrs old) and lost him. I see signs of her not having a clue how to have a relationship or know how to CARE for a man. I also see signs of her having issues understanding boundaries and respecting men. She suffered terrible emotional pain when she lost her father. From what she told me, she never really experienced a DEEP relationship bond with other men in the past and thought that was normal. She also lacks certain 'softness' and feminity. ONE important note, she was highly educated with advanced degree and a decent career equally to mine. I think this facet of a modern 'career' woman is the cause of more issues in relationships than losing her father early on.
So in the end, the court passes the judgement that when there is absolutely a LACK of a father in a woman's life - the sh!t will fall where you decide to walk alongside with her. In the cases where there was a father present or part-time, it is still a high risk of issues surfacing later in adulthood.
My heartfelt recommendation to you men out there, is to do your best and find a woman for LTR who has a father INTACT in her life and he is of healthy emotional expressive state.
Be well,
