I look pretry much just like my dad when he was around 20. Looking at younger us not similar at all. But around 18 to 20 we look pretty much identical except the hair.
Pictures of me as a kid I look a lot like my Mum, you would have clocked us as siblings if given pictures of us at the same age without context.
Then testosterone kicked in.
My ex looked a lot like her mom. Which was awesome when I was younger, because my ex didn’t smoke, and it was pretty awesome to think she would be hot forever.
Well turns out that is true, but being hot is a terrible thing to base the quality of a relationship on.
almost did this myself. dad sat me down and said, “Son, she’s not right for you. go find yourself a nice cripple girl. she’ll never walk all over you.”
😂🤣 I hear Hell is nice this time of year.
Man, your dad gave better advice than everyone I knew.
Everyone was like "no, peoplebeproblems, if you marry her, you marry all the crazy, what does your gut say?"and I was all like “I have IBS! It’s unreliable!”
This wheelchair’s made for ridin’
And that’s just what it’ll do
One of these days the wheelchair’s
gonna ride all over youAs a part time wheelchair user, thanks for this idea for a song
Sorry to hear that man, hope things get better for you.
My dad gave me the advice that your wife will likely look like her mother. My ex now, at 30 years looked exactly like her mom and I’m glad for reason 1001 to be divorced from her. No1 was: she’s a nasty, self centered twat who did nothing for us unless it benefited herself.
But its true she was hot forever?
Maybe not forever, but she still is.
Pics or it didn’t happen
Ew
a lot of hot people smoke… it’s a terrible habit but it doesn’t make you ugly
I find anyone who smokes instantly ugly, zero chance I would want to be with them sexually after that point, so yes it does. Also ages you like all hell
might make them subjectively ugly, but that’s just your association with it… and no it doesn’t
You do realise attractive/ugly is completely subjective and down to each individual’s taste yeah? Like that’s how it works.
oh, you’re so silly…
imagine you look at person A and find them to appear attractive, that will not change because they smoke unless you know they smoke… that’s what i’m talking about.
pretending like we’re talking about something else doesn’t make you clever.Most people talk about outward beauty. That is were this discussion is based on. Not really an argumentargument. Does chewing gum make anyone ugly? You can argue ugly based on the inside and/or outside. Take a gorgeous person, you’d be over your head about. It turns out they smoke, and suddenly they’re ugly? I don’t get it
Also, sorry to spam, but it really does age you faster then not smoking in every front, and I think this is some good starter reading for anyone who smokes, always better to know what you are ingesting IMHO

starter reading?
Yes? The tldr if you don’t want to read, smoking ages you much more rapidly than if you don’t smoke.
ok
it’s a terrible habit but it doesn’t make you ugly
No, but it ages you quickly.
no it doesn’t
…yes it does. This is not up for debate. Nicotine results in the breakdown of collagen in the skin, rapidly resulting in aged appearance.
what really is the point of saying the same thing a dozen people already said in the same thread.
“yes it is” “no it isn’t” “yes it is” “no it isn’t”….
absolutely pointless.
and nicotine does not break down the collagen in your skin… that’s just one of the five polysyllabic words you know…Aren’t you the one that started that stupid chain? At least I gave you something you can type into google. Top result if you did - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3509054/
Please don’t insult my knowledge or intelligence if you can’t even take 5 seconds to educate yourself.
i’m not insulting your intelligence or knowledge… your tactics however…
k thanks bye
np, cya!
Yeah but if you are looking chances are you can make anyone quit if both got something going. Not something to avoid, my take
I was worried we started our own oldschoolcool, the “wank to my ancestors” community, for a second, but they do look nearly identical. Lot of dominant genes in her mom.
My main memory of oldschoolcool was that one time the F1 community posted a picture of Romain Grosjean from the late '00s and convinced the subreddit that it was Jean-Pierre Jabouille; a different F1 driver from the '70s. That was fun.

I love this, as a 50 year old I immediately recognize the Renault logo as post 80’s (1992 from a quick search), and ING bank was formed in 1991, before that is was Postbank.

Best evidence of human cloning
My mom and I are practically clones and I hate it. People compare me to her constantly and I wish I could be acknowledged as being my own person.
For what it’s worth, I hereby acknowledge you are your own person.
Lol ty.
They havent seen your mom
Plot twist : he is a boy
You sound just like your mother.
I think my eyes would explode if I tried rolling my eyes any harder lol
Haha, got’em.
Madlad
I used to recommend people shave their heads to show how different they are, but I’m told that this isn’t healthy behavior.
So maybe shave your mom’s head?
It’s not healthy, it makes your head cold all the time. Having hair is healthier.
That’s the only correct answer
I shaved my head and now as a 6ft bearded bald man i no longer look like my mother Thanks for the advice man
You’ve got a 6ft beard???
I wish I could be acknowledged as being my own person.
Just like your mom does!
Does your mama whine and bitch about shit that doesn’t really matter as well?
Sure does. At least she isn’t a dick to people online for no reason like you. I sure hope your mama isn’t like that either.
The sperm must’ve been like “hey egg, you take all the physical traits and I’ll take the mental.”
Or she’s a clone.
Cuute
no way these two are not the same person
Wow! It’s incredible how identical you two look.
Thanks! It took a lot of effort to get the hair just right.
@orenj@lemmy.sdf.org you are saying you’re OOP?
yes! It’s not true but I’m saying it
Lmao, I am doubting a female SDF exists
Excuse you.
Does that mean the dad/husband looks like he could be their brother? Or is that not how these genetics work?
Yeah, genetics is more complicated than that. Recessive genes/traits means that while half of genetic material (discounting that X an Y chromosomes are different sizes) comes from each parent, their kid’s appearance is not just having all traits be midway between their parents’ appearances. And there’s more complications than recessive genes like epiginetics, environmental factors, multi-gene traits, etc.
Some women essentially clone themselves or the dad.
I have a cousin, she had 5 kids, all with different dads, yet the 3 girls look exactly like the mom and the boys exactly like the dads.
And that cousin looks like her mom who looks like my grandma. But only that specific daughter of my grandma has the cloning abilities (my grandma had I think 11 kids).
Interesting. The meme is to do half and half when depicting offspring in media. I didn’t know.
genetics are so crazy to me because this is normal but like it’s ALSO possible for only recessed genes coming out and the child looks nothing like the parent which is also cool AF
bit sad I didn’t get my dad’s ‘grey hair at 14’ genetics. I woulda made sooo many “respect your elders!!” jokes 🥲
This is some Back to the Future shit. Are you an x-man, because this is uncanny.
I’m kinda mad she didn’t attempt the same facial expression for maxness
I would have gone for same dress same expression same everything with her standing next to me
Well it has to be them from the same age so her standing next to her wouldn’t make sense cause it’d be old and young
I expected to find different content, thanks to my sleepy brain. Glad it was this
