You are both being inattentive
. I stated that a girl's model for the emotional relationship with her mate is supposed to be similar to the way she deals with her emotional relationship with her mother. This would translate into behavior.
Not, the physical model for attraction . . . they are different things . . . Its Freudian psychoanlytic theory . . . I think the Class was Freud and Feminism or something . . can't remember the book title.
But if you think about it, women usually have a much more developed emotional (and emotionally expressive) relationship with their mothers.

On theother hand, I have read that it is the father that is the physical model for the attraction a female has to her mate. For instance, if her father bore a bead, the girl would most likely be attracted to hairier men.
Now where can I find a link to show I actually read that? You got me!

Hello justamom
That's what I remember learning, that it's the father who is the model for the daughter. So, what James wrote threw me for a loop. I did not mean for it to seem like, "and where did you hear THAT one from?" I'm genuinely interested in the source of this theory. I just thought I'd ask. Perhaps he does know. That's all. But thanks for the reply.
