Having a father gave me a point of reference. In my teenage years, a boy had to be a good guy like my dad in order for me to think about getting close to him.
Not having had a step father, I don't know for sure what that affect would be. However, I would think that many girls with step fathers think of their natural father as their "real" father and he is the standard they use to measure boys.
This second part is mostly speculation.
