Ladies, I want to know if you think that men who are considred "mama's boys" make better boyfriends? I have heard many women say that a mama's boy is the best type of man to be with because it shows that he has respect for women and will treat you good.... so do you agree?

I must agree, in the aspect of the respect a man learns from and for his mother. My son{he's 11} is a momma's boy. I've been a single parent since he was 6 months old, so he kinda had no choice..lol There's a bond between a son and mother that no other can experience; for me, it's such a blessing knowing that he will go on to respect the people around him later in life. From my experience; the men that don't respect mom, were rude, verbally abusive and had very little aspect of how to treat women in general... but that's just my two cents worth, Lela

It really depends what kind of mama's boy you're referring to. If it the kind that follows everything their mom says then that wouldn't be a good boyfriend because he will put his mom first before you. If it's someone who respects and loves their mom then that could be a better boyfriend.

Granted a mama's boy will know how to respect women and treat a woman good, but all the mama's boys I have dated always chose mom over me. If it was between being with me or doing something for mom, it was mom. If it was my opinion or moms, it was moms. I felt like I was coming second not equal.

I agree with her, mama's boy make terrible partners as they never grow up and end up telling everything to their mom and even report every single fight they have with you to her and you are supposed to love their mother too and are stuck with interfering mother in law and a husband who will fail your trust all the time.

And also an obedient son will become an obedient husband if you are lucky!

Now that I dont know about.... I listen to what my mother tells me well because she is my mother. But my wife is my equal she is not above me in terms of rules as my mom was when I was growing up.

A mamas son after marriage happen to live away from his mum will slowly get attached to his wife. I dont know what you exactly mean 'mamas son.' No woman would appreciate if her man go and get advice from his mother for everything. One should know how to keep relationship as a son and as a husband.

For a boyfriend[Just friendship]it does't make any difference, a girl will just respect you as you are attached with your mother.

A mama's boy will just end up putting his mom before his wife or girlfriend. I believe the man that women should be looking for is gentleman, but a guy can't be 100 percent nice, or that tends to get boring for the woman. Be nice, but have that little bit of rough edge to you as well.

No, I don't believe a "mama's boy" will make a better boyfriend or husband. From my experience they tend to be needy, i.e. they want someone to take care of the every need, they need constant attention or they feel neglected and they're also the ones that more often than not will run home to mommy every time you have a argument or things don't go their way. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a man having a close relationship with his mother, but being close to his mom doesn't make him a "mama's boy" either.

i think there's good and bad side of it... one thing i'm afraid of mama's boys is that the moms are usually protective of their sons... there might be issues coming out in the future especially conflicts between the mom and the wife/girlfriend...
