Women hate it when their daughters end up better looking than them.

On the other hand, men love it when their sons end up being more handsome and better with the girls then they were.

We can argue about the propriety all day long, but when a young girl hits about fifteen, she starts to get more attention from the men. The mom is now hitting 35 - 40, and whatever looks she had, her better days are now behind her. (Not always, I have known exceptions, but in general..).

So the mother stops getting the attention, and the daughter starts. It can be, I guess the female version of the mid life crisis. Nature. What are you gonna do?

But, most parents are happy to have an attractive daughter. It certainly opens up her life options. Doctors, lawyers, successful businessmen... they are all too happy to flock to an attractive young lady. Not saying she will have a happy life as a result, just that she certainly has more attractive options.

Well the mother could have been much worse and ordered a female circumcision, and gave her an unworkable penis as woke mothers do now.

It can happen with dads or moms. Usually more moms though. Dads are usually not interested in peeing contests like this. If either parent is just not confident with themselves, thats when it might happen. Often having smart good looking kids are considered a plus for these kinds of people and they get status boost vicariously through their kids.

Yep! Men and women are wired differently.
