"A new study of facial features adds to mounting evidence that a man tends to choose a girlfriend who resembles his mother, and a woman picks a boyfriend who looks like her father." - Hutch Carpenter
Thank God for both myself and my fiancee, we broke this trend! - Jody C
Dad died when I was little, so my husband actually looks like my brother. People used to ask if they were twins.. - Lorraine Ball
I don't so much agree with the looks part of this viewpoint, but I do find that I compare men to my brother a lot, as well. He's charming, handsome, not unkempt, generous, well-spoken, kind, gentle, funny as all get out and pretty awesome all the way around. However, he is also gay. That is the part I overlook when comparing potential mate material. Clearly. ;-) - Lisa L. Seifert
I was going to say, why not go for your brother, until I came to the part that he is "gay" LMAO - Igor The Troll
I'd actually heard that women marry men that are like their fathers (not just in appearance). So I'm looking forward to my goofy son-in-law of the future. - Hutch Carpenter
In addition to above, Heroes, Life, House, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Office, Pushing Daisies, and for a guilty pleasure, Gossip Girls. Unfortunately Lost and Battlestar Galactica are pushed back to next year. :( - Cheryl Jones
@rapatton I just forwarded that link to Brown. He will kill me. I am meeting his parents the weekend of the 12th of Sept. I got wonton soup and pepper steak :) - Michelle Miller
I love autumn and football is an important part of it. Is Louisville your one and only or also root for other knights of the gridiron? Any team your loathe? It better be someone cooler than the Bearcats! - RAPatton
UofL is my only fav. I have to hate University of Kentucky. That is big game here of course. That's Sunday. - Michelle Miller
I'll root for you guys in that contest. - RAPatton
I love NFL football (my school team sucked- lost four years running so never got that bug.) Football pool tonight! - Abby Martin
Abby, I am glad you enjoy the NFL, but college football is the best. The passion and pageantry are so much more intense. The NFL, to my tastes, is kind of sterile, but each to their own. In my youth, I watched both, but when I got married I decided I couldn't spend every weekend watching football, so Saturday's are my day. To the NFL's credit the athleticism is much greater across the board and the league is sized where you can have a pretty comprehensive knowledge whereas college football is much too large (but that is also some of the charm. Like I said, they both have strengths) - RAPatton
RAP- The Jets- which means I know more about masochism than passion or pageantry. My husband is also a football fanatic (Steelers) so we curl up on the couch on Sundays unless our teams are playing or I am beating him in the football pool. :) (And I'd likely love college ball if I hadn't gone to Columbia. We really were terrible. Lost 44 straight.) - Abby Martin
I've always liked the Steelers; adopt a new college football team. Jets have never gotten it together, but they have a good kicker :) - RAPatton
I live in hope- and torment- that the Jets will get it together. :) What college teams would you suggest? - Abby Martin
I like my team, Ohio State, but pick any team that fits you can identify with. UVA, northwestern, maybe a school that produces a lot of Jets. Could you root for Rutgers or Penn State? For years Penn State was THE school for those in the northeast who had no other teams - RAPatton
RAP- thanks. I have a fondness for Rutgers coming from being a Cinderella team. But I think it helps to have gone to school to really become involved in their ups and downs. Still, might be fun to try. - Abby Martin
wasn't it great when rutgers was ok their roll last year? That Thursday night football game was wonderful - RAPatton
Abby, start watching College Game Days on Saturday Morning and you will find a team. My wife started watching the show for Kirk Herbstreit's baby blues but stays for the human interest peices. - RAPatton
Is this accidentally like coincidentally dressing to the nines for him, teh hapenstance of taking him to the Jimmy Buffett concert and incidentaly falling for him? - RAPatton
Read this is "misting my pants." I need to get out more. - Chris Baskind
