[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those women who had cold and distant fathers: is it true that that causes promiscuity and love seeking in the college years?  That was the old saying among college guys when I went to school. Recognize now of course it wasn’t kind. But they used to say “she had a cold and distant father” as code for she gave it up easily.

Um, I can’t tell if this is a troll answer or if you have just failed to ask a question about attachment with compassion. Insecure attachment with care givers can lead to several types of attachment disorders. Sometimes kids in the same families will have different ones, despite the same parental treatment. One could have insecure avoidant behavior- wanting to prove that people love them, clingy, quick to love, jealous, etc. these types frequently look for relationships and move on quickly to new ones when they end. Basically “love me love me.” Or you could be dismissive avoidant - “I don’t need you or anyone. I’m fine on my own. I made it this far, see?”  You can have “normal” relationships still of course but those are the under currents.
