I would have to disagree with this ;)
Ive never understood the supposed attraction to the mothers personality
type. Ive never felt this and it seems quite alien to me. However,
this seems to be widely accepted.
And thus brings up an interesting point. What about daughters? Are
they influenced by the personality of their mothers to a severe extent?
Does anyone know of a relationship between the mothers view of
technology (i.e. a 'geek' or very not 'geek') and how that affects their
daughters? I cant recall ever hearing anything on this, so I may be off
base..
