How much do you think your opposite sex parent, influenced your choice of partner?

Or if you are gay same sex parent.

I watched a Documentary with the basic premise of “If a father cherishes and cares for his daughter”, she will not feel a need to seek love or affirmation elsewhere. The result in theory would be that she would find a partner that would cherish and care for her too. As she would settle for no less? Plus not have a multiple partners searching.

I never felt cherished by either of my parents. Particularly by my father. I feel it did in fact thrust me into many relationships I could have done well without. This can work with men too. Can you relate to this premise at all?
