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.

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.

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.

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.

But they did have deep voices. It's kind of a thing for me.

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

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.

Whoa, Liese.

I have no discernable type. DH is big, burly and Jewish. Ex was tall but slim and Waspy. Other great love was skinny, short and ethnic. They are all wicked smart and made me laugh.

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

I've only been involved with three women less than 6 feet tall. Of course, I've only been involved with three women.
