My boyfriend looks nothing like my dad. My boyfriend looks nothing like my dad. This is reflected in the use of make-up.

My dad's pretty chubby, my boyfriend's a twig. She knows exactly what I mean, and she agrees! We may all want to still be hot when we're on the high side of 40. In our laboratory, we gave people the ability to choose the female head shape they found most attractive by allowing them to control face shape interactively using a computer.

He barely resembled the man she'd married, but he did remind her of another man she knew well: her father. After six years of attempting to rescue the union through therapy, Houston filed for divorce. Alison Wobschall also married a man like her father, but with much better results. And Alison bears a striking resemblance to her mother-in-law, in appearance as well as personality. Although Houston's and Wobschall's couldn't have been more different, both women chose partners who resembled a parent. And, say experts, their experiences aren't that unusual. Comfort in familiarity Berkeley, California, psychotherapist Elayne Savage says familiarity is a big reason people may choose someone like Mom or Dad as a partner. A Hungarian researcher studied the facial features of 52 families and found a significant correlation between the appearance of men and their fathers-in-law and those of women and their mothers-in-law. Miami resident Aaron Gordon, 27, wouldn't argue. Gordon's wife, Rebecca, 27, has the same career as his mom -- teaching gifted elementary-schoolers -- and the women share a love of cooking and talking on the phone. Righting old wrongs Sometimes, people choose mates who resemble their parents not because of fond memories, but to make amends for an unhappy childhood. It's not a good idea. Reclaiming personal history Does that mean it's a mistake to marry somebody like Mom or Dad? Casey Clark Ney, 30, hopes not. She and her dad, who is now deceased, lived in different states after her parents divorced when she was a child. Although they had a warm phone relationship, Ney only saw him once or twice a year, and he wasn't very physically affectionate. But James, too, isn't very affectionate. Make sure your relationship has room for give and take. Some questions to discuss sooner rather than later: If we have kids, will one of us stay home? Who will manage our money?

This notion is backed by other work showing the imprinting link is lost on women who did not have good relationships with their fathers. I'd say my boyfriend is fairly similar to my father, both a bit bossy but solo well at heart. She's fairly tall, I'm really short. I cannot imagine doing dating and sexual things with someone who looks like my mom. But it reminded me of the reality that aging men do experience anxiety about our own diminishing attractiveness. So no, I don't prime in it. In contrast, the team of psychologists from Durham University and two Polish institutions revealed that women who have negative or less positive relationships were not attracted to men who looked like their male parents. I might as well say 'Do you like it when I do this to you mom. The other custodes girl is her own person- doesn't look like father or mother and my nephew just looks like his father. It shows our human brains don't simply build prototypes of the ideal face based on those we see around us, rather they build them based on those to whom we have a between positive relationship. This appeared to be one of the subconscious 'rules' people used when matching up the couples in this study. Hernandezc3 Even if your child looks like you, you will still probably notice features of the father.
