Christina Bloom founded a website that matches you to a potential mate based on facial recognition software. Apparently many people kept telling her that she and her ex looked alike....

    I just chocked on my tea when I saw the picture :lol: ... should people not look out for the key word here she and her "ex" looked alike.Is she then qualified to match people based on them looking alike :? :D

    I would never date any woman that looked like the ogre that I am.

    don't trust couples that wear the same thing at the same time, unless it's swooshie pants to the gym.

    long time ago, in a job far away, we had a bunch of seasonal employee's. shortly after christmas, they came to work with the exact same powder blue outfits. :?

    I find the concept a little creepy...never dated anybody that looked like me.

    But, this one time...when I worked at the mall...I saw SO many couples (male/female)that would wear the same outfit....exact same, turtleneck, sweatshirt, warm-up pants, warm-up jacket, shoes, socks (I assume the same undergarments too)

    I had a colleague who always did this.She and her husband dressed in identical unisex clothes all the time ...it was weird and creeped me out.
    Then I met their kids,three girls one boy,the girls were all dressed the same as mum,mini me's and the boy was always dressed like dad.It was all a bit fucked up and seriously weird.I think they were a cult :lol:

    I've always thought lasting couples look a lot like brother and sister

    physical likeness attracts and personality opposites compliment each other

    If my wife looked like me I'd give her a slap and tell her to sort herself out and shave the beard.

    that's meant to be scientific or psycological isn't it?
    we are meant to be attracted to people whose faces are similar to ours, in proportion and features etc.
    i see a lot of couples whose faces are similar to each other, not like creepy but similar ish

    as to dressing the same....that's a bit odd
    but if it makes them happy then i guess it's okay
