Tbh, my dad is too cranky and worried all the time for me to want a very similar guy. I've never been the one to date similar guys to my father, quite the opposite. But what I've always tremendously respected is his reliability, sort of undying loyalty for his marriage and family, and his male pride to take care of his wife and children - that's something that I want in a guy with whom I'll have children with one day and what I find incredibly sexy. And that's something my current bf shares with him and what makes him a keeper in my mind after a bunch of guys I couldn't really envision a future with. When he says his biggest fear would be that he couldn't take care of his family it really reminds me of my dad (creepy alert : ) Also his life fears are similar (must be the E6 thing)
