While an excessive desire for "female validation" is indicative of co-dependent personality disorder, a complete lack of interest in female affection is indicative of narcissism.
It's implied in the title of this thread:
Narcissists are only capable of loving themselves, so they want the women they have sex with to be little more than inanimate objects. The reason for this goes back to their childhoods, and the neglect their mothers showed towards them.
On the other hand, co-dependents became
too attached to their mothers, the consummate "mommy's boys."
