It is often said that when you ask a man what sex he would like his future son to have, he tends to say girl, because “girls are more of a father”.
If instead you ask a woman, in theory she should say she wants a child, because "children are more of a mother".
I cannot make such an assessment, because I have two sons, so that's why I ask you: Are the children of moms and dads of dads?
My two children are more than their mother
If you ask me I have to answer unequivocally that my two children are more from his mother than his father, but this is difficult to assess because they have spent many more hours with her than with me.
I guess to know for sure with which father they have more affinity we would have to spend the same time with them ...
You also have to keep in mind that when we are all at home they usually play more with me, I suppose because the games they like motivate me more than me (and probably because it is I who starts them many times). That is, I say they are more of the mother, because when you hurt yourself or have a problem, look for mom rather than dad.
Maybe it's because they are the opposite sex
On the basis that the assumption "dad girls and mom boys" is true, the possible explanation that this is so is that it's about a person of the opposite sex, in tiny.
As a man I like women: I like to spend time with a woman, talk, laugh, look, play, etc. well, a girl would be for me a little woman, my little girl and, in case of conflict, maybe I would be more forgiving than my wife.
On the contrary, my children would be something like mom's little men, children whom I see as my little children, my little ones. In case of conflict it could be that I was more “hard” with them because, being my “equals”, I expect more from them (I expect from them what I expect from myself).
And maybe it's none of this
That is the possible explanation that occurs to me, but it could also be that in your comments you said that it is not true, that the boys are as much of the fathers as of the mothers and that the girls, because the same.
Then we would have to ask ourselves: Why does everyone take that theory for good?
