Which parent do you look like?
 
I have my father's face and hair and the rest is alllllll my mother. (AGD Alum, if she sees this, is laughing hysterically in agreement.)

How about you?

DGqueen17 02-26-2004 10:57 AM

I got my mother's body type and a lot of my fathers looks.

ClassyLady 02-26-2004 11:25 AM

I look just like my mother. Our baby pictures are almost identical, except that hers is in Black & White.

ZTAngel 02-26-2004 11:37 AM

I have my mother's body structure but my father's looks (in a feminine way, of course :) ).

ADPiAkron 02-26-2004 11:42 AM

I look exactly like my father....minus the facial hair for sure! haha I look nothing like my mother...I have all my father's features (nose, eyes, mouth, teeth, eyebrows (no joke- they used to be hairy before the days of tweezing and waxing!))!!!!

Oh yea..I look like my mom in one way...I have her mother's body type....short with a big booty!! I hate it!

GPhiLlama 02-26-2004 11:54 AM

Mother's body type, but my entire family agrees that I look more like a couple of my aunts on my dad's side. And one girl who swears I look like my brother.

ISUKappa 02-26-2004 12:02 PM

Really, I'm a good mix of both. I have my father's face shape but more of my mother's features (nose, mouth, chin). Body structure, I'm more like my mother, but on a taller scale. I have two older sisters and sometimes it's hard to tell we're all in the same family, I'm 6" taller than either of them (and my mom). My oldest sister looks a lot like our mom where my middle sister favors our dad. Middle sister and I have the same body structure, but she's short (like our mom). We also have the same hands and feet (feet from dad, hands from mom). We're not quite sure where my oldest sister got hers from. Honestly, sometimes we wonder if she's really our sister because she's so different than either of us (of course, we're kidding when we say this. It's my way of getting back at her from all the torture I endured when I was younger.)

A few photos:
My parents at my wedding
Me and my sisters at my wedding (oldest sister (dark hair) on the left, middle sister on the right, me in between!)
Me and my parents my senior year of college
(don't laugh, that photo's over 3 years old, we all look much different now!!)

Ginger 02-26-2004 12:23 PM

I look a lot like my mom, but have much the same personality as my dad.

Steeltrap 02-26-2004 12:33 PM

I more look like my father (RIP) and have been told I look exactly like my paternal grandmother (RIP). My skin is lighter than my father's, however.

Gina1201 02-26-2004 01:01 PM

People say I look EXACTLY like my mom but certain body parts definitely came from my maternal grandmother.

Dionysus 02-26-2004 01:12 PM

A mix, except for height. They're both tall, and I'm short.

alsparky 02-26-2004 01:18 PM

I'm a spitting image of my mom, just 5 inches taller and a little thinner. But otherwise we're the same, right down to the mannerisms, facial expressions and laugh. Sometimes it freaks my boyfriend out!!! He often calls me Mini-Marcia when I "channel" my mom.

Looking at pictures of us when we were young is amazing!!! And for years my Dad's mom swore I looked like their side, then one day when I was 17 she looked at me and said "OH MY GOD!! She looks just like you!" to my mother. We all died laughing.

growing up, if i heard one more time how much i looked like my mother i thought i was going to scream.

its only now that i can kind of see it, but i see pictures of her as a baby and theres a very strong resemblence.

cntryZTA5 02-26-2004 02:21 PM

I take after my dad's side of the family....facial features, body type, height, everything.


My sister takes after my mom's side of the family.

Hootie 02-26-2004 03:16 PM

Most people say I look most like my mother.

However my mom and my whole extended family say I am the spitting image of my father's sister (my Aunt Sandy). It's so weird because I've seen pictures of the two of us, and you would swear I'm her daughter.

Jill1228 02-26-2004 03:47 PM

I have my mother's cheekbones, height, vision (well until I had lasik), hair

The rest is from my now estranged sperm donor

Sister Havana 02-26-2004 03:50 PM

I definitely have my dad's hair (very thick and curly!), but my body is more like my mom's. As far as personality, mine is almost exactly like my dad's. My mom calls me his clone. heh.

astroAPhi 02-26-2004 05:20 PM

I'm adopted, but apparently I am the spitting image of my birth mom. The adoption case worker about freaked when I walked into the room.

AOX81 02-26-2004 06:42 PM

I am almost a spitting image of my mother. :)

aephi alum 02-26-2004 07:56 PM

I have my dad's hair and hands. Other than that, I look just like my mom.

chideltjen 02-26-2004 07:59 PM

people say i look like my dad... most like his mother (my grandma).

but i got my mom's side's body type...

justamom 02-26-2004 08:07 PM

I look sooooooo much like my Mom!
Baby Girl looks like her Dad in reality, but everyone says me because Hubby and I have similar features and her coloring in just like mine.
My son and I have so much the same-even freckles in the same place!

When kids are healthy, it seems each generation gets better and better looking.

mattpike 02-26-2004 08:16 PM

my dad. his height, build, hair, and smile

Lisa Fishman 02-26-2004 08:23 PM

I am almost a double of my mother. This is true of all my facial features and hair. I once saw a picture of my mom when she was college age, and if it wasn't for the date on the picture I would have thought it was me. People tell me I sound like my mother on the phone as well.

Lady Pi Phi 02-26-2004 10:07 PM

I look like my mother and have my father's personality.

tinydancer 02-26-2004 10:14 PM

I have my mother's curly hair, but I honestly don't look much like either mom or dad. I think they found me in a basket on the doorstep.;)

tnxbutterfly 02-26-2004 10:46 PM

I look like my mom. I definately have her body type

cutiepatootie 02-26-2004 11:36 PM

I look more like my (adoptive) father and the funny part is that he adopted me when i was 18 months old. My mother laughs all the time because as she is my real mother she says i don't resemble my biological father at all

James 02-26-2004 11:39 PM

The Postman . . .

SmartBlondeGPhB 02-27-2004 12:14 AM

Mom..............

VERY much so. My uncle even thinks we sound alike. But, mom doesn't look even close to her age, so I'll take what I can get.

RioLambdaAlum 02-27-2004 12:14 AM

no brainer act and look like my daddy

oceanphi01 02-27-2004 12:20 AM

I look a lot like my mom....so much that it's scary sometimes. Ehh...

nyrdrms 02-27-2004 03:22 AM

My sister and I are often mistaken for twins....but the funny thing about it is that people say that I am the spitting image of my mother and that my sister looks just like my dad.

CatStarESP4 02-27-2004 04:22 AM

A lot of people who I have met through my mom and vice versa tell me that I look a lot like my mom. I have also been told that I look a little like my dad, but not a whole lot. One time, my mom observed that I look like her father (and she looks mostly like him anyway).

hottytoddy 02-27-2004 06:07 AM

My mom definitely....except I've had rhinoplasty.

mmcat 02-27-2004 08:59 AM

my dad

I get the same thing. It's scary sometimes. Everyone also things my sister is older than me when I'm 4 years older than her. Interesting.......

greeklawgirl 02-27-2004 12:54 PM

Interesting Question...
 
I don't look exactly like my dad but there is no mistaking the fact that I look like his whole side of the family. We all have the same complexion, unusual eye color, hair, build, etc.

In personality and mannerisms, however, I am my mother's daughter.

GeekyPenguin 02-27-2004 02:33 PM

I am very similiar to my mom in terms of eye color, hair color, and facial structures - I definitely resemble her - but I have my dad's body type and skin coloring, as well as his personaliy. I'm actually a pretty good composite of both of my parents.

MeLikey 02-27-2004 04:58 PM

I look like my dad- our childhood pictures look so much alike. But it's weird, there are times in pics where I'll look a lot like my mom's sister.
