Ok so this is a pattern I have noticed with my male friends. Almost all of them are obsessed with their mothers. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone have an explanation? I can not specifically identify why I get this impression; all that I know is the impression is consistent.
Why are men obsessed with their mothers?

That's possible. It's also possible that I project this persona onto everyone. However, I'm already aware of these possibilities.

Hello there.
What are the behaviors you've observed that have led you to this conclusion?
In what way do almost all of your male friends seem obsessed with their mothers?
What is obsession to you?
I'm not bad and I prefer to keep as much distance between my mom and me as possible :/
Of course it's relevant. The relationship a man has with his mother is usually noticeable when one is romantically involved with him.
Yes. Please explain!
No. Impression is quite distinct from love. I think obsession also includes possessive. Men appear to be very possessive of their mothers; there, thats it... I think?
Excellent. Can you explain?
I think I mean possessive. In combination with a strong need for "Mommy" when things get tough.

I'm guessing you don't see yourself as sharing this trait? How was your relationship with your parents, if you don't mind my asking?

Well I'm wondering if your relationship with your mother might influence how you view other guys' relationships with their mothers. "Pretty normal" doesn't say much, but hey, I guess it's too early to fork over your family dynamics to complete strangers on the internet. Anyway, that may not have anything to do with it, but it's one of many avenues worth exploring.
