The Striking Similarity

Post Reply New Topic

Reminds me of the episode of Red Dwarf where Lister sleeps with the female version of him from another dimension... only to find out to his horror, in that dimension males are the ones who fall pregnant!

I saw a Learning Channel documentary or something about how couples faces tend to resemble each other. It said that couples tend to adopt each other's facial expressions and mannerisms to show that they are bonded or are together. Just thought I'd throw that in there I think it also said that the longer a couple is together, the more similar they will seem.

Except with Tom Cruise and his girlfriends (just a coincidence, I think: they all happen to have a generic white look - long narrow nose, even features - that I, like many others, find very attractive), I don't see it.

It would be rather strange, even seemingly incestuous, if couples physically looked too much alike!

What about Penelope Cruz? Very attractive, but she hardly has a "generic white look".

I was thinking in terms of features and not colouring if that helps you see what I was trying to say.

You live life as a hermit in a desolate cave. You study teachings and don old, brown robes. You build fashionable ornaments with unbelieveable technological capabilities. You study the mystical ways of The Force. You join forces with the Rebellion, kick Vader's butt (using your fashionable, technoligcally advanced belt ornament), destroy the Death Star, bring peace to the whole galaxy and spend the rest of eternity as uber-cool shimmering transparency.

Suddenly, living alone just looks a lot more attractive...

Are you kidding?! Jedi masters are hella sexy!! ! Mmmmm... *Swoon*

Yeah, they aren't really- they just use force persuasion to make you THINK they are!

Pffffft!

Back to why this is it could be because of that one complex based on the shakespearean character (its too late to think) that says men want to marry their mother (yeah ewwwww.) I mean can you think of anybody that has a face more like yours then someone who gave you your genes (okay it doesnt work in every case but it does work in most.)

I don't get it myself.... I'm generally attracted to women who look nothing like my mother. And frankly I'd be quite scared of a woman who looked like me....

Same here with the completely failing to be attracted to my mum, but at the same time, I do like women who have slightly heavy facial features, in common with myself, and don't go much for thin, arched eyebrows or button noses.

I've never seen anyone even similar looking to me, let alone the opposite sex being similar looking.
Think I'll just settle for a ginger cat, or something.
