This is hilarious but kind-of sad. Women being objects and all.
I saw a picture of Elizabeth Hasselbeck's mother-in-law and I was creeped out by how much they looked alike.
Studies have shown men date women who look as their mother did when they were two years old.
Really, isn't there some real news you could have up on the site. This is sad, especially because it isn't new and who really cares that some guys date women who in some way remind them of their mothers. At least they aren't dating their mothers.
The whole thing is really creepy and kind of mean spirited to make an issue of...
This appears to by about 90% coincidental bullcrap. You have primarily found photos where the mom and the girlfriend happen to be wearing the same color outfits, have similar hair styles, and/or are posing similarly - not exactly clone material. There are a few where the resemblance is slightly more pronounced but I mostly think this is a "seperated at birth" type caught-in-the-moment-photo type comparison.
Agreed.
Matthew is rediculous and a bad actor, what else who could do for living without aking his shirt off?
These comparisons are really far fetched. No real news to comment on? Not only that but it has a meanness to it that is a real turn off.
Also meaningless, who cares about this kind of stuff?
Good thing I haven't had lunch yet.
I think Mrs. Spitzer has been through enough without being told that she looks like her mother in law. That was really below the belt.
Wow, this article is idiotic.
Kudos for including Chaz Bono.
Mean spirited indeed. But just as noticeable -- it's lame. In most cases there is nothing more than hair color or hair being pulled back in common. These resemblances just are NOT striking.
What's "Chaz" Bono doing in an article about men who date their mothers? Sorry, but last time I looked, men don't have vaginas. Chaz Bono is a mutilated woman who wants to look like a man but keep her womanhood. It's preposterous.
So where is Dr. B when you need him/her.
I wouldn't even venture to try to figure that one out about Chaz and Cher.
Don't mess up the Beast with such hogwash.
i noticed long ago that when looking at the wedding section of the newspaper that the couples pictured tended to look like each other. i think its more of an attraction to someone who looks like yourself? rather than a man looking for someone similar to mom. interesting either way
Thank you.
