these kinds of people are lacking in the personality department
General fatherless behavior. If you don't have a positive male role model in a happy relationship to learn from, you're pretty much never going to be a good partner as a man.
There is so much bad and toxic relationship advice out there, good luck changing.
Hello argument, I am counterpoint. I did not have a positive male role model and it may have set me back a bit but I still found my way to a happy marriage and positive parenthood.
Did you learn from other positive male role models who weren't in your life?
what like dwayne the rock johnson or some shit?
No, like Saddam Hussein.
No. I had a positive female role model.
Not even someone from outside your immediate family?
My dad was alright, but traveled a ton. Some of my friends fathers were also positive role models who showed how it could work when they were home all the time.
I think you can give some people great parents and you just might be unlucky enough that they don't turn out to be nice people. It's probably worse now than ever in history because people can have one bad day and then they can follow it up with permanently radicalizing themselves on the Internet.
