When I saw this tweet this morning, I was taken aback at first...'You
don't want to marry a man like your father?"...but then I thought
about it again...there might actually be many women out there who
don't want men like their fathers. Many in fact! That someone is your
flesh and blood does not mean that they are perfect or what you wish
for yourself.
Are you one of those women? And what's your reason? Let's discuss!

Sure! My dad loves my mom & us (the children) they have been togeda for 28years+. So, I'll sure wanna marry a man like my father. He is a good man.
Thanks *takes a bow*

I will like to marry a woman like my mother. May God bless her soul

Yungwizzzy: You can choose your friends but you can't choose your relatives!!

*tongue*

you are right. But your dad was once a friend to your mum. At that point, you can make a choice.

wow... since you are convinced that I will definitely make a good husband, therefore you deserve a good husband like me. I want to use this opportunity to offer what you really do deserve. ***kneels down and takes out a golden ring***
"please marry me".

Do I want my kids to marry a man like me?
I am not sure because I have 90% good qualities
and 10% of my short coming
Caring, loving, considerate, fair in dealing with people
Good provider
My kids and their need comes first--family is number one
I am a hard worker
Set goals and I am a goal getter
I pray my kids get 100% of want they want in a marriage

hahahahaha

I'd like a modern version of him...

No, I can't

This is absurd. No one is immune to mistakes. One's eventual Husband or wife could be worse than his or her father or mother. Just pray continuously for wisdom and steadfastness.

Adaeze003: I'd like a modern version of him...

You are good girl . Keep Dignifying your moniker/name.

Adaeze003: I'd like a modern version of him...

probably a robot.

teeboo: No, I can't

what are your reasons?

Nobody gets 100% sir, just pray that your daughters will get a better husband than you were to their mum.

Hehe... Nope, just sm1 who's not so bent on the ways of the dead guys aka ancestors.

arvinsloane:

Growing up under his roof was hell anytime he comes back home we(d children) ave to find our way to our bed ,too harsh,polygamous setting etc

zeb04: hahahahaha

I won't marry a man like my father because my dad was a cheater. My mom gisted us all he did and how much stree she pass through with him. Though they are still together after more than 30yrs But I don't want a cheater as a hubby. With all this HIV evrywhere nowadays

Ahhh... such is life sha... I pray you will find a husband as good as me.

May I never marry a man like my father.......Infact if i'm to come bk into dis lyf a second tym may I never have someone lyk him as a father again

Ofcourse,my dad is a wonderful father to his kids and a loving husband to my mom.

In all spheres of life,he is one amongst the best. He isn't perfect as he has got some flaws but he is just so good a father,who won't want one for a partner?
