"In honor of Father&amp;#x27;s Day, an admittedly weird, Freudian topic of discussion to mull over.You love your dad, right? But do you think you&amp;#x27;re dating him? (Shudder.) In the wake of all our dad-related stuff this week (e.g. Ariane&amp;#x27;s awesome stepdad and these amazingly awkward moments when dads dealt with boyfriends), I got to thinking about how I&amp;#x27;ve been choosing guys like my dad these last few years... to mixed results. Although my parents are divorced and we rarely speak to our father, my sister Beth (she of last week&amp;#x27;s boiling frog wisdom) and I often find ourselves picking dudes with his best qualities (handsome--in his day--funny, charming) as well as his worst (detached, selfish, erratic). I&amp;#x27;ve even started picking guys with his body type: &amp;quot;big and talls.&amp;quot; When you&amp;#x27;re dad&amp;#x27;s great, drawing your dating inspiration from him doubtlessly steers you in a good direction... but when he&amp;#x27;s more, well, not around, or less-than-great, you can wind up in quite a bind with the dudes you instinctively choose based on him. Do you date guys who remind you of your dad (consciously or subconsciously)? Or guys who are the opposite of your dad? Tell me about your experience with this.
