We should edit the picture, so it looks like she is zipping up her moms dress.

Yeah, that was a real missed opportunity by whoever took the original photo!

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.

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!"

16

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.

Sorry to hear that man, hope things get better for you.

it’s a terrible habit but it doesn’t make you ugly

No, but it ages you quickly.

lemmy.world

...yes it does. This is not up for debate. Nicotine results in the breakdown of collagen in the skin, rapidly resulting in aged appearance.

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

Yes? The tldr if you don't want to read, smoking ages you much more rapidly than if you don't smoke.

You do realise attractive/ugly is completely subjective and down to each individual's taste yeah? Like that's how it works.

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

Yeah, could give me, whoever is considered the most attractive human alive ATM, they smoke, and yeah that is not an attractive human any longer for me.

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.

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?

For what it's worth, I hereby acknowledge you are your own person.

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.

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.

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.

14

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 🥲

I would have gone for same dress same expression same everything with her standing next to me

2

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

2

Oh no, this is another one of those "are these dresses really the same" things.

Seriously though, that's cute.

The sperm must've been like "hey egg, you take all the physical traits and I'll take the mental."

13

It would be interesting to see a picture of daddy too. I wonder what traits she got from him.

12

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.

10

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.

Wow! It's incredible how identical you two look.

Thanks! It took a lot of effort to get the hair just right.

Does that mean the dad/husband looks like he could be their brother? Or is that not how these genetics work?

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.

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.
