Why Don't Women Want Mommy's Boys? Are Women Ruining Their Sons? by copyrites(op): 6:13pm On Sep 20, 2024
Men will choose a daddy’s girl any day, anytime. This is because these girls are considered the best, always and forever.

But women don’t want mommy’s boys.

1. Do we subconsciously agree that women ruin their sons' lives?


2. Do we also agree that men raise children better than women?

Mummy's boys are the worst men to be with, marry them at your own risk
Re: Why Don't Women Want Mommy's Boys? Are Women Ruining Their Sons? by Namaster:
Women DON'T want Mummy's boys because Mummy's boys have their mother HEAVILY involved in their lives.

As such, the mother is ready to COUNTERACT every attempt of other women to manipulate her son.

The mothers can spot bitches and witches BETTER than their sons. And being Mummy's boys, their sons listen to them.

Plus a Mummy's boy does NOT lack female attention or affection and that's another weapon in the female arsenal rendered useless.

A Mummy's boy may be spineless or lily-livered but they are NOT easy to manipulate because of their OVERINVOLVED mothers.

That's why women RESENT them. They are virtually immune to their tricks.

It's the same reason women RARELY get along with their mother in laws. Women know how women think. Women know how devious women are.

A man that is close to his mother makes women UNCOMFORTABLE. It's like having a Military Advisor in your army who wrote and developed the enemy's strategy for them.

Finally, the idea that men somehow prefer a Daddy's girl is RIDICULOUS. MOST men have ZERO standards.

It doesn't matter to them whether a girl is a daddy's or mummy's girl or even an ORPHAN, they are ready to WORSHIP any girl that'll have them.

Scarcity mindset has dealt a HUGE blow to men.

Case in point is the young man that recently bent the knee in proposal to a dirty-black, thin girl that puts you in mind of a burnt PANLA and still got REJECTED.

Mommy's boy dictionary meaning: A boy excessively attached to his mother; lacking normal masculine interests.


How's the above definition related to hereditary?

Nigerian women are always in a hurry to look for a man whom they can easily manipulate and turn into a puppet.

Firstly, almost all the previous posters before me, on this thread, need to put down the glass of water and red pill in their hands. Put it down. And go touch grass.

OP, let me share with you a very true story of a Marriage to a Mummy's Boy.

This young fellow with spendthrift qualities married a frugal, street-smart babe with dual citizenship.

One day, she saw his Mother call frequently and tell him "do this, do that". Her husband refused to tell her why. She forced him to. He said someone contacted his mum and offered to set him up with a govt job. His wife immediately said it was a scam. Hubby disagreed, so wife set a trap. Yes, it was a scam.

Husband was struggling financially. Wife saw scrap of paper with a Pastor's account number on it. His Mother sent it to Hubby. Pastor saw sheep to fleece and fleeced accordingly.

Wife told Hubby: "listen, Nigeria is in meltdown and I have dual citizenship. Can I file for you, so we relocate easier than everyone else who is writing exams to japa? You'll get a great job and be settled eventually". Husband agreed. Then later told her to cancel plans. His Mother said he should not relocate, because the marriage will end (as per the wife will be in charge and not her her son).

Mother decided to help her son find a correct job, instead and she did. Very nice salary. But remember what I said Hubby's quality was? So with all that money came a lirru madness. Babes started entering Husband's eye and before you could say "they're all golddiggers, run!", Husband chased his wife and children out for one of the daughters of Jezebel. But he did it craftily: he got his Mother to fight the wife and her family for him.
His Mother realised only too late. Now she hasn't met her youngest grandchild and her son is fully off the rails. Daughters of Jezebel have even convinced him that his wife is a thief and why the f should he pay schoolfees.

His Mother is now checking his (ex) wife's WhatsApp status updates, too proud to approach that one and join hands together to save her son. Because she has realised that Daughters of Jezebel are not fools or foolishly in love like the wife, they WILL make sure that after Wife is out, the next person to get rid of is Mother.

At least, Wife was more biddable. Daughter of Jezebel will tell Husband "your mother needs to be informing me before she comes to visit". And Mother will not be able to fight, before everyone says "oh, you're now fighting the new wife? You still won't leave your son's marriages alone? Can't you go and find something to keep yourself busy, this old woman?"

A Mummy's Boy is a Man who is easily led and influenced by the voice of the loudest woman in his heart. And sometimes, that voice is not just his mother's voice, it could be one of his female bestie or the girl outside who saw a ready-made man, Nigeria's crumbling economy and played her cards ruthlessly (she probably said to Husband "I love you, but I can't be with a married man" and that one, supercharged on infatuation, lust and mid-life crisis, threw his wife and kids out.
However, he foolishly assumes the Daughter of Jezebel will want to play Stepmother to his 3 young children from Day 1 of his new marriage. Leemao).

He has no mind of his own.

This lack of mental strength has destroyed families and empires.

And that's why you don't marry A Mummy's Boy.

Words mean different things to different people so who is a mommy‘s boy?

I have an uncle who is in his 50s and has a very close bond with his mother. He visits her (a widow) almost every day and goes out of his way to make her happy.

The mother stays out of his marriage. She and wife have a good relationship.

Not everything must be a problem.

Klass99:
Of course men will choose a daddy's girl any day, any time, because they know that when they are broke, lazy and slacking off their responsibilities of paying rent, school fees, and other bills, daddy will step in and step up to do what they are meant to do, because daddy can't bear to his golden child suffer needlessly.

Can you men please learn to admit the truth to yourselves and tell yourselves the truth as well. A daddy's girl will always be the best in your eyes because of all the perks/benefits you stand to gain from being attached to her, especially if her father is wealthy or from a rich household/background.

Certain perks start from the wedding day like a car gift, a house, then it contonues afterwards, proceeding to a prestigious job for the husband, trust accounts and inheritance for grandchildren etc. While daddy may not like his daughter's choice of man or hubby, he still does right by her and her family.
Daddy's girl*, not rich man's daughter*. There is a difference.


Assuming your view is true, do you agree that men raise children better than women?

Women are naturally Jealous of their fellow gender the moment they discover their feminism.They compete to be the best woman all men should want but not need.A young lady will be Jealous of her elder sister who catch the attention of a man even though they don't like the man.
It's a thing of joy for them when a man asks them out deep down even if they don't like the man because it define their feminism in one way or the other making them feel wanted
They are naturally selfish by nature

But your Uncle isn't a Mother's Boy.

He loves his mum but put boundaries around his marriage.

A Mother's Boy has zero boundaries. His Mother makes all his decisions, including the ones that will affect his children. His Mother defends him, even when his other family members think he's making a mistake.

She's not doing it out of love, it's usually damaged women that create Mummy's Boy out of their sons. Because of their trauma from other parts of their lives, they are desperate to protect their children at all costs. So they smother them with an unhealthy love. And it chokes everything in their child's life.

A traumatised, emotionally unhealthy woman who hasn't worked on her issues will cling desperately to her children. She will create a Mummy's Boy.

A lot of Mummy's Boys tend to create Daddy's Girls, they're usually always looking for a voice of a woman to put in their heads because it is empty.

They always have several female friends who like them like crazy but never marry them. Those ones are looking for men to lead them in marriage, they don't want to be the ones leading the marriage and they certainly don't want to be fighting for DStv remote with their MiL (I swear, my Aunt did this to her DiL, I was ashamed when I heard it, my mum had to tell her to please go to her own home and leave her son alone).

I have 2 boys. I don't even want anyone to call the youngest of them "Mummy's boy" and he's literally a baby. He can come and ask me for advise any time but I would be upset if I were the loudest voice in his head as an adult. That space belongs to God, then me and his father (when he is a child), himself and a few trusted friends (as a young adult), then himself and his wife (as a settled adult). Your Self must always be a strong voice in your mind.

What someone considers ”excessive“ will differ from person to person. That’s the beauty of language. It’s open to interpretation.

But he must come into his SELF.
My uncle doesn’t have to set boundaries because his mother’s policy is to stay out of his business with his wife. She chooses not to interfere. She doesn’t even want to know their issues if they have any.

I can’t say what would happen if she did want to cause trouble. He is a very masculine type but the love he has for his mother is very strong so I can’t tell what he would do, if and how he would set boundaries.

However, some people would refer to his type as mommy‘s boy. I would. You wouldn’t. That’s what makes the discussion interesting. But I can also relate to your concept of mommy‘s boy. To me, it just shows that there are different types of mommy’s boys ranging between healthy and unhealthy attachment styles.

I don’t mind my son being close to me when he grows up and I won’t lie, it would make me happy, if he was as crazy about me as my uncle is about his mother. I only pray to have the wisdom to stay in my lane.

It depends on what you mean by "momma's boy" as the term can be used to designate a boy who's closer to his mom than his dad, or a grown man who's entirely dependent on his mother to take decisions (in every ramification of his life) on his behalf. The sense in which One.gal is using the word, the technical term, is the derogatory one---for a man who's overly reliant on his mother; almost incestuous.

So, if the uncle calls mom at every juncture, then, unfortunately, that would be the case of being a "momma's boy" --- the bad kind.

That’s on point and what I have been trying to say in the following contributions. Thanks.
Re: Why Don't Women Want Mommy's Boys? Are Women Ruining Their Sons? by Onegai(f):
I don't know about the Torah, the Koran or any other religious books.

But I do know that the Bible states very clearly in Ephesians 5: 31-31: "A man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and the 2 shall become 1 flesh".

That command is given to the Man. Not the Woman. Very telling.

Like I've said on another thread, a woman secures the home, the man secures the marriage. The issues we have stem from the fact that men want to be Head of the House but not be responsible for any part of the marriage, save show up and be served like a king. Which is also against Biblical principles.

And then when you add the fact that the man has no mind of his own and instead of holding the wife and making her his flesh, he makes his mother his flesh (I like what a previous poster said here: an almost incestuous relationship with his mother). It rots the marriage. Because his mother is now carrying 2 marriages on her head: hers and her son. When she's supposed to be in one and one only.

Men, you're supposed to cleave to your wives. Period. No buts, no ifs, no nothing. The Bible is very clear on this.

Women, don't marry someone who doesn't have space in his life for you because he and his mother have already cleaved unto each other and become one flesh. You will stagnate and rot, because you have been cut off from your family and
left adrift.

And a word of caution: they don't write "Mummy's Boy" on the forehead. The 3 I know have such different personalities (one timid and egotistical, another very egotistical yet bumbling, one very in-your-face).

Maybe the only trait I can see they all have in common is that all the men don't take criticism well. So their Mothers' unwavering love and support is always welcome when the whole world is against him (or seems to be).

Also know that, they won't turn all their male children into Mummy's Boys, it will happen to the child who has his life in distress, constantly runs to her for validation and love and is close to her physically.

One such woman, upon realising that she was about to destroy her son's marriage with interference, wisely asked her son to relocate to Canada. And stayed away from him for 5 years.

It comes to a certain age where your parents shouldn't be telling you what to do. They can only advise you at that point.

Before you start, it doesn't matter if its their mother or father.

Any man that is easily controlled by his mother or father isn't worthy or respect. Let him stay with his parents.

I have no clue why some people might view it negatively. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with seeking help when you need it. Whether it's asking for assistance with your studies or utilizing resources like https://ukwritings.com/dissertation-services dissertation services, there's no shame in wanting to make your life a little easier. In today’s fast-paced world, juggling multiple responsibilities can be overwhelming, and sometimes, having that extra support can make all the difference. For many students, using professional writing services is simply a smart way to manage their time and reduce stress.
