Mom/dad friend are different from real parents
(especially when you have shitty parents)they might not totally understand what you're going through but they support you. They listen to you without jumping to the wrong conclusions. Respect your personal space without judging. When you need them they are there for you without questioning.They give you care/love that you have been lacking with your parents.

You say that Mom / Dad Friends are different from real Parents. Isn't the opposite the whole point of them being refered to as such though? The Qualities you mentioned are among those that SHOULD be expected of a true Parent. One that has proven to be shitty fails to live up to the expectations this role provides. If another person can fill its blanks, isn't this enough for both categories to be considered akin to each other? I believe that Parental Affection is not measured by blood ties !!!!
Well, both exhibit the typical characteristics you would expect from a Parent. Usually emiting a more Mature Aura than most around them and inspiring stability. A bigger sense of responsibility and dedication too. All together making you feel like relying on them. They could take care of you, be protective, give advice and work as role models. An example to follow. A positive influence in overall. I suppose, the difference between a Mom and a Dad Friend is their way of displaying that affection? The former is expected to be more open when expressing themselves and showing more sensitivity along with any other trait that could be treated as ''Feminine'' while the later being just as caring but more ''Muscular'' about things? In the end, both are the kind of Friends that will certainly be there when you need them to !!!!
Well, one of my mother's friends is very attractive, one is a comedian and two more are not something that I can safely state without gaining one or two stink eyes. I can safely assume my father's friends are dicks, so I would say, "Normal--ish" ?
A mom friend is someone who supports you even if its obnoxious and like gets really excited when good things happen yo you and also brings you cereal when you forgot your lunch or soup when you're sick.
A dad friend is also that but also makes dad jokes and maybe has a mustache and would get you a beer.
