Would you ever date someone that looks like a family member of yours?

Question

I mean lookswise they look like a niece/nephew or aunt/uncle.

tony_baloney · Accepted Answer

NEVER resembling my mom or imidiate siblings, but I did date this chick for a bit who looks scary identical to my aunt Michelle. She lives on the other side of the country and I'm also not blood related to anybody on my dad's side of the family since he's adopted. So that was a bit of my justification, but I eventually found it weird and stopped seeing her anyway xD so now I just avoid that in general.

I come from a small island, if I meet someone that looks like a family member. It usually turns out, we are related somewhere down the line.

flamiE · Accepted Answer

I am normally attractive to personality and not looks so that wouldn’t be a problem. Also, if I like the man, why would I, even for a single second be thinking that he looks like my uncle? I mean, I am seeing this man romantically, right. And my uncle is my relative. They are not related, so why would I be trying to find something in common e. g looks at first place?

whatsgoingonwithme · Accepted Answer

No I don't think I can. When I have sex with you I want to be having sex with you, not thinking about a relative that you look like and then my brain goes to crazy thoughts like I don't want to think about them, oh no that's wrong. I can't. Haha.

Genie23 · Answer

No, I wouldn't... even the thought of it makes me feel awkward and disgusted.😖

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I do not have any relatives whom I consider to be attractive.

Angelina25 · Answer

My extended family looks shitty. I'm good.

weasley8 · Answer

Everyone is saying no and it's kind of amusing me. (Don't get me wrong, I said the same thing.) It's amusing because studies have shown that girls are more likely to pick a romantic partner who looks like their father than not, and guys are more likely than not to pick a romantic partner who looks like their mother.

These numbers are skewed by other factors though. For example, if someone has a particularly bad relationship with their parents, they tend to pick romantic partners who look as different form their parents as possible.

The idea is that if we have a good relationship with our parents, we find comfort in people who look like them. Familiarity is comforting, especially when it's familiarity that reminds us of the people we are supposed to trust most.

SarahsSummer · Answer

Lol. I’ve been accused of dating guys similar to my brother.

happyhippo · Answer

I assume yes, because of the fact people like things that feel familiar. Also I have some pretty good looking relatives, I don't think I'd refuse to date someone only because they looked like any of my relatives

Ella_101 · Answer

That would be a deal breaker.. Think I would be too creeped out when I kissed them or got intimate with them. Just wouldn't work for me

truthbeknown · Answer

I could, maybe. I think this would be easier to accept than someone who has the same name as your sister or mom.

pruts · Answer

Yup, i have this niece a couple years older than me and she's fucking gorgeous, if i'd find a girl that looks like her i'd marry her for her appearance alone..

tartaarsaus · Answer

Uh, I rarely ever see 90%(if I have ever seen them) of my family and the ones I do see are relatively old. So I doubt whether I would even know that one looks like a family member.  So yes

naijagurl · Answer

It would be a bit strange at times for sure but I’d be willing to date them if I really liked them.

Dulce_jay · Answer

I don’t think so because it will be weird it would feel like if you’re kissing them you’re actually kissing a relative lol

Banyan · Answer

If, when I look at them, that's what I see than no. But if thats not in my mind than sure

Jjpayne · Answer

It would be awkward but I would do it, its the person not what they look like

Bishop-Brennan · Answer

Probably not, if they really looked that similar I doubt I would be attracted to them.

Moss777 · Answer

So long as it was not a doppelganger look alike then it would be fine.

chrisbigman · Answer

I'm not sure I would. Actually, I take that back - I'm QUITE CERTAIN I would NOT.

Mexicoman101 · Answer

I don’t think so, but if they looked slightly similar maybe.

Tim-loves-it · Answer

Probably yes.. as long as they didn't act like the family member in question

Chjnh · Answer

Hell no.  I wouldn't even date a woman with any of my sister's names. 😂😂

Ripper_E · Answer

I already know it's not them and looking similar and identical are not the same.

AlexEfron · Answer

Can't say if I would or not.  I don't mind if the girl looks like a family member (that would actually make me more comfortable around her)

ScottSummers · Answer

My girlfriend has a gothic style and when she takes off her make up and all she kinda looks a bit like my sister. It never bothered me I don't know.

ultimega · Answer

Not if they looked like a complete copy. It would freak me out.

4465loveyou5577 · Answer

It might be a discouragement but it wouldn't break the deal.

x4v13r · Answer

i don't think anyone looks like my family members but others would probably disagree.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Yeah. I have a crush on some of my cousins. Not acted on of course but they're annoying sometimes.

Hwbsgsudv · Answer

Zero care about appearance. As long as I connect with them is cool :)
