Pakistani girls 18–25 with strict, absent, or complicated dads — how has it affected who you date or fall for?

Real talk, no judgment.

A lot of us grew up with fathers who were either super strict, barely around, emotionally distant, controlling, or just not the “ideal dad” figure.

I’m curious how that actually plays out when you start dating or getting into serious relationships.

• Do you find yourself attracted to older guys, “daddy” types, or the complete opposite?
• Do you chase emotionally unavailable men?
• Do you have trust/commitment issues?
• Or did it make you want a partner who’s the total opposite of your father?
