What do you think about this statement: " I will only date men who grew up in two-parent households"?

I was watching a youtube vid and the lady, a date coach or whatever, said that that was one of her " qualifiers" in order to date a man.

What are your thoughts on that?
I think i posted this before but I couldn't remember.

I think it is ridiculous. That seems to assume all men, every single one, who grew up in a two-parent household are better than those who did not. An impossible statement.

But then, I don't think much of "date coaches" anyway.

@Greenbare Too general. I've known some pretty messed-up people precisely because the parents stated together. (Yourself possibly, judging from your statement.)

Most are unaware of what they are doing they simply continue on in the vein they were taught. By dating a man from a two parent household it may be more of a chance of them staying together.
I find it interesting. We do learn a lot about from our parents, though, we don't always learn what one might assume. My parents divorced when I was little. I was privy to all the horrible details. And from that I came to the conclusion that either marriage was off the table completely or it would be to someone who valued commitment.


I do think, however, that one needs to check out their in laws thoroughly. Decide if that the life they ant for themselves being that you are marrying their offspring. Is that what you are getting yourself into?

Fascinating. There are good and bad people who come from two parent homes not just one parent homes.

Absolutely pathetic statement

To each there own.. we all have qualifiers.. it’s no worse than only dating someone that’s young and cute, wealthy, a certain color, culture or nationality..
I’ll only date someone that’s dead.. or at least likes too play dead

I can see her point in that she feels like a person who grew up in a two parent home would be more family oriented and less likely to repeat patterns that led to the one parent situation...however I do not totally agree with it. That only rings true mostly in stable and happy two parent households. It doesn't apply to every situation and every person, nor can a person be held responsible for how they were raised. A lot of good and decent people have come from single parent homes too.

Good luck with that. 😂😂😂 with the divorce rate nowadays 😂😂
Based on that statement, I'd rule HER out.

Definitely something I wouldn't say...because I dont like men from any households.
