all his unrelated girlfriends after her really looked like her.

One old friend of mine, who seriously dated another mutual (very close)friend, attended an event I ran with his new wife.

It was one of those occasions where I'm sure I did not fix my face in time. Seriously. When they say 'spitting image', it didn't even reach the level of clone this woman was.

I hope they ended up being happy. But, it made me really sad for him.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Roof seems to be leaking. We know this because there is a crack in the ceiling, dripping water.

I am irked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hooked up with a guy whose girlfriends all looked the same. I did not look like them, and I never achieved the status of girlfriend. I really didn't look like them. It was kind of creepy. I think he's married now, to one of the clones.

And off the top of my head I can think of two (more) krav instructors who did the same damned thing with at least the girlfriends I saw.

I know people have types, and I don't always pay the most attention, but I would be weirded out if I saw a guy's photos of him with my doppelganger. Really weirded out.

I admit I have looked at guys and felt untowardly fond because they physically reminded me of someone else, but I've never actually acted on it.

Because books.

One of S.'s best friend was so eager for me to meet the girl he eventually married -- "She's just like you!" (Not looks, I should clarify -- he only meant personality apparently.) I HATED her. She was nothing like me at all, and S. agrees. Makes me wonder what lens his friend (who was mine, too -- I've known him since high school) was viewing me through.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Bummer, Dana. That's definitely irksome.

I may have mentioned before that my great-grandfather's wives (my great-grandmother was his second, after he was widowed) were both named Emma. As was his mother. But I don't know if any one them looked like each other.

Leafing through the mental rolodex of lovers, I can safely say none looked even remotely like a) any family member or b) each other.

There WERE, however, some major similarities. Interesting/important jobs, eccentricity over all, many Jews.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's annoying, Dana. I hope the weather becomes sunny and dry for your area until you can get it fixed.

My few boyfriends didn't have much in common appearance-wise. But they did have deep voices. It's kind of a thing for me.

My grandfather married his late wife's brother's widow. So while my aunt became my step-grandmother, there wasn't any actual genetic connection.

It's a thing for me too, but I never seem to attract them! Whah.

I get the fey intellectuals with higher pitched voices.

Some great forearms though. That's 'a thing' for sure.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I've only been involved with 2 guys less than 6 feet tall.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I had a type in school, baby-faced blue eyed curly blond haired little cherubs full of mischief. All of whom have, according to facebook, aged really badly. But the type that liked me, lean mysterious sneering dark-haired types all grew up into stunners.
 
My friend`s parents were brothers married to sisters, who then divorced and married the other sibling. So his uncle is his stepfather and his dad is his stepuncle. And they all get together at family gatherings and have, according to all sources, a nice time.
