Before you all start thinking sexually, NO!. This has nothing to do sexually hell even the thought of it just makes me.ugh! gross
Anyway, is it normal that im oddly attracted to my dad? I admire him for the man that he is, for the discipline that he instills on us siblings, for his handy man skills, his dark sense of humour

as a little girl i would hang out with him as he worked in his garage. i remember one instance at the beach he took me to the deep and i was terrified, but his strong callous reassuring hands and back provided a sense of safety and comfort

u guys seen the movie Ice Man? My dad reminds me of him. That man. Calm, cool, collective, but a man nonetheless

i find that i get a little self conscious when around him if im looking ugly and dragged. I always fix my hair a little bit to make myself presentable.
Is this normal? Is this an attraction? Or just straight admiration for my father?

Those who love their fathers, is such attraction normal?

Thanks guys

    The way you worded this topic seems misleading as in a physical or sexual way. I think you meant you idolize your dad.

      Yeah. I think when people hear the word "attracted to" they automatically assume it is physical or sexual and disregard the other kind of attraction: the mental and admiration kind of attraction

    Sounds like you respect him. Sounds like you may have daddy issues also.

        Sure did. "Oddly attracted" sticks out to me. Didn't for you? Regardless, daughters aren't attracted to fathers. Paternal love is something different.

    Normal to love your dad and express your love completely.

    Seems like you put your father on a pedestal. You want to be at your best around him. I honestly think You need a boyfriend so you could have another male figure in your mindset.(this isn't to meant in a negative way) It's good to love your father they are your guide, protectors, and idols. You need to speak with your father about your admirations he will help you with what you're thinking. Don't get mix attraction to admirations, a parent and child's love is eternal.
    Daddy's-little-girl-syndrome? Lol
