Media personality and YouTuber, Toke Makinwa has aired her thoughts on girls who received love from their dads and the effect it has on their romantic relationships.
According to her, girls like that are said to have little “daddy issues” and are most times in-charge of their emotional and mental state. She added that they can’t be “washed” by guys because they’ve heard everything needed from their father.
The author tweeted;
“If a girls first introduction to love is from her dad, chances of “daddy issues” are slimmer, her emotional well-being and mental stability is. Imagine a guy trying to wash you when all you’ve heard all your life from your father is you are awesome. Zero chance”
