re: Why are there so many women with 'daddy' issues?

quote:

---

Women are looking for a man to take charge.
For many of them, this was their father.
Thus, they seek a man "like Dad".

That's not my understanding of what daddy issues are. 'Daddy issues' arise from women with negative relationships with their father due to absence, neglect or abuse. Daddy issues from my understanding manifests as sexual promiscuity and/or being excessively clingy or possessive due to fears of abandonment.
