I wonder what Sigmund Freud would say about this.

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[pgkdan]

HA! This couldn't be further from the truth in my case and my wife's if it came out of Tom Daschle's mouth.

[paltz]

Nothing new here. So we choose partners who remind us of our parents...for better or worse. Every little girl wants to marry their daddy and every little boy wants a wife to be his mommy.

[trebb]

That explains why my wife is a woman...

[k2blader]

*LOL*!!!

Nuff said.

[ClearCase_guy]

Were they careful about ethnic groupings? I mean, many African-Americans marry someone whose coloring might match their opposite-sex parent -- but that's pretty meaningless, right? How about Jews marrying Jews? Or Norwegian-Americans marrying someone from their hometown (which has a high percentage of Norwegian-Americans). Do the Irish marry a lot of redheads? Because the opposite sex parent was a redhead? Or because there are a lot of redheads in Ireland?

This report could be noteworthy, but I wonder if they missed the obvious.

[Grampa Dave]

Well in my case and my relatives, this is pure hog wash.

My mother was/is a brunette of about 5'. My wife is a blond of 5'8". Our son's wife is a Mediteranean Beauty with dark brown hair. My sister is married to a blond guy who is 6'4, and our Dad had black hair before it became white and was 5' 10".

I can't think of a single relative on my side or my wife's side who married someone with even a slight resembalance to their parents or even their grandparents.

[B-Chan]

My mom: short, with dark hair, hazel eyes.

My dad: short, with brown hair, green eyes.

My wife: tall, blue-eyed blonde.

QED

[redangus]

I have been married twice and neither of my wives looked anythng like my Mother. This also goes for my sisters who married men who looked nothing like my Father. So I guess my family is the statisical abberation. But wait, I have just been thinking of sisters-in-law, neices , nephews, cousins and friends, and none of them married people who looked anything like either of their parents, even when there were multiple marriages. Hummmmmmm?

[ModelBreaker]

Hmmmmm. My wife's father (rest his soul) was a 125 lb Filipino. I am 180, caucasian and, as far as I can tell, bear no resemblance to my late father-in-law.

My mother is half-swedish and looks it. My wife is a lovely Filipina who looks American Indian.

Sometimes I guess there are exceptions to every rule.

[End Times Sentinel]

This definitely isn't true in my case.  However, you could make that arguement for my father and brother... what?  Lots of people have fathers who are also their brothers.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It has been said for years that a woman marries a man who reminds her of her father (both physically and psychologically).

[socal_parrot]

My Mom- Dutch Hausfrau
My Wife- Lebanese Profressional

My Father-in-law- Fat-a$$ Drunk
Me- Don't Drink

[Intimidator]

This is total horses**t. My wife looks absolutely nothing like my mother. My sister's husband looks absolutely nothing like my father.

[That Subliminal Kid]

Well duhhh...

[Marysecretary]

Two of my sons did marry women who reminded me of me but another went for someone entirely different (slim, dark hair and skin) both times. Hmm, wonder what THAT means? (No, I really don't want to know.)

[Hemingway's Ghost]

My wife: buxom brunette. My mother: skinny blonde. This study: shite.

[farmfriend]

A team of experts from St Andrews University found women are attracted to men who remind them of their fathers and men to women who look like their mothers.

This is such bull excrement.

I WANT A GIRL (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad)

1911

Words by William Dillon

Music by Harry Von Tilzer (Info)

Verse 1

WHEN I WAS A BOY MY MOTH-ER OFT-EN SAID TO ME,

GET MAR-RIED BOY AND SEE, HOW HAP-PY YOU WILL BE,

I HAVE LOOKED ALL O-VER, BUT NO GIRL-IE CAN I FIND,

WHO SEEMS TO BE JUST LIKE THE LIT-TLE GIRL I HAVE IN MIND.

I WILL HAVE TO LOOK A-ROUND UN-TIL THE RIGHT ONE I HAVE FOUND.

Verse 2

BY THE OLD MILL STREAM THERE SITS A COUP-LE OLD AND GRAY,

THOUGH YEARS HAVE ROLLED A-WAY, THEIR HEARTS ARE YOUNG AND GAY,

MOTH-ER DEAR LOOKS UP AT DAD WITH LOVE-LIGHT IN HER EYE,

HE STEALS A KISS, A FOND EM-BRACE, WHILE EV-'NING BREEZ-ES SIGH;

Chorus

I WANT A GIRL JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MAR-RIED DEAR OLD DAD,

SHE WAS A PEARL AND THE ON-LY GIRL THAT DAD-DY E-VER HAD.

A GOOD OLD FASH-IONED GIRL WITH HEART SO TRUE,

ONE WHO LOVES NO-BOD-Y ELSE BUT YOU

I WANT A GIRL JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MAR-RIED DEAR OLD DAD.
