Malachi,
I look at it this way. I try to give my daughter very high self esteem. I don't want her to "need" anyone for any reason but happiness. No matter what we say, she is going to gravitate towards guys that treat her how she wants to be treated.
It said that daughters tend to fall for guys with qualities of their father. So I believe, if I treat my daughters with respect, understanding and treat them like the precious gifts they are. Thats what she will look for when she gets older.
Although I am prepairing for her to bring home some thuggish guys I don't approve of first just to act out in rebellion
