Just realized the same thing. It explains so much.

Never said it was, I'm not generalizing every single person. It does usually lead to a lot of psychological problems that I'm not patient enough to deal with. I've dated women who came from situations like this and it was a massive headache for me. Also, a large amount of people who come from these situations inherit the same problems from their parents. I don't have time for that.

Men who have sisters are probably a little less shocked when they move in with a woman.

—-I knew a guy in his 20s who had 4 sisters. He thought everybody wrapped their hair in a towel after a shower.

My wife didn't have any brothers and I lived from about the age of 10 and up in a bachelor pad with a single dad. She says that's the reason I'm untrainable



I have two brothers, and out of 13 cousins, 11 are male. Besides my mom and grandmothers, I really didn't have any female influence in my life.

shite, I might have to reflect on this.

My girlfriend left me for her brother. So I guess my answer to your question is no.

I've always thought that girls who grew up with brothers and moms with multiple sons seem to be a lot easier going in general.



On the flip side, and totally anecdotal, the guys I know who were raised by single mothers/grandma are grudge-holdy and emotional like their mothers/grandmothers were.

My daughter has two brothers and I feel like she should come with a warning label for whoever marries her.

I always wondered if guys with sisters had an advantage dating because they regularly dealt with women that weren't their mothers.

When I had a girlfriend say, "I'm not your mother", I always wondered about this. It seemed like they were telling me I was treating them like a mother. It happened with more than one gf.

A positive family member as a male role model in any girls life is usually a better bet that she isnt mentally fricked. Every stripper has daddy issues and a brother on heroin.

That just means you’re behaving like a child. Either, you’re “requiring” her to clean up after you, you’re asking for her permission to do something like a kid asking mommy if he can have a sleepover, or you‘re demanding she take care of you like a helpless sick child who needs chicken noodle soup and goodnight kisses to make his tum tum feel alright.

I wouldn’t know if women with brothers are easier to date because all of my previous serious relationships were with women who had brothers, so I haven’t tried the alternative. I never had a sister growing up, so there’s that.

Not in my experience. Every time I tried to date a girl with brothers I'd end up with a noogie, a swirly, a wedgie, or some combination of the three.

It’s amazing so many on here are married with all these strict requirements. All women should be a size 2, have perfect parents, and let’s not even mention the widows, divorced moms, and single moms, because they aren’t worthy of a second glance.

I would have to say this is very plausible...

I married a woman who was an only child until she was 10, until her mother gave birth to her sister. We have twins, a boy and a girl. Until recently, she had no idea about how boys are totally different from girls growing up...

If a dude is in that top 20% of looks, he can afford to be choosey. If not.... (I am NOT in that top 20%, mind you )

Remember, guys don’t have as quick an expiration date age wise as do women, generally. Our biological clocks don’t really “run out” so we don’t have the same imperatives to settle down.

While this is a message board prone to exaggeration and bragging for e-points, some of this wisdom is just common sense. Women without good relationships with their fathers tend to have all kinds of trust issues in relationships which make relationships a lot harder.

Women who don’t have female friends and have lots of guy “friends” are not people you want to get in a relationship with because they are too dramatic, judgmental, or mean for other women to tolerate them and have a whole bunch of rival suitors and exes surrounding them which they will pit you against. Women with no female friends will alienate every female in your life (i.e. provoke lots of fights with your mother and your friends’ SO’s) and when things are rough between you, she’s got a whole support system of dudes trying to get with her to lean on for support. Odds are, she’s gonna bang at least one of them while you too are together.

Guys raised by single mothers tend to have all kinds of daddy issues too, btw.

Women with kids obviously come with kids, so a single guy without kids is likely to avoid a single mother because dating her means immediately having to be a father figure to a child you don’t know. That’s a lot of pressure, not withstanding the fact that she will be far less available to spend time with you, will rarely be able to give you her undivided attention, and that there will always be a baby-daddy ex in the picture who can stir up drama. If a guy isn’t in the right frame of mind to take on those challenges, it’s probably a good idea to avoid relationships with single mothers.

None of this is hating women, it’s just learned experience. Some women are better for long relationships, and some aren’t. Some women have problems and eccentricities you can deal with and some have issues that will drown you if you let them. Not every guy is ready to take on a “fixer upper” with daddy issues, 3 kids with 2 fathers, $60k in cc debt, and a coke habit. That shite’s expensive

On the flip side, I would assume that not every woman wants to date a broke-dick, abusive, heroin addict redneck that works as a tradesman helper until his shitty screamcore metal band “makes it”, but the handful of those types that I know have to fight the girls off with a stick

I grew up with only brothers - I'm not sure that it made me any easier to date, but it definitely makes me a hell of a lot easier to work with. I'm not overly sensitive or easily offended. And I've been getting sexually harassed by my brother's friends since high school, so I'm comfortable putting you in your place myself and not having to run to HR.

Generally girls with brothers are more reasonable and tolerant of male activities.

However, if the girls in the family outnumber the boys, then typically the girls are more likely to be crazy or psycho.

Learned this the hard way.

Dealing with this right now. She is ruining the relationship by not trusting me. I'm over here knowing I didn't do anything wrong and she can't just chill the frick out, ever.
