In general; girls resemble their fathers and boys resemble their mothers.

WHY??....i have never found a satisfactory and even scientific answer to this


Thanks for your comments

have you all a wonderful day

I resemble my mother (and she was even more beautiful than ever back in the day).

Maybe I'm not a woman. They lied to me!!!

This is true in my case. Isn't my daughter lucky that she has my looks

Joking aside she is beautiful even if she looks more like me than her Mother

I said "in general"; of course; there are a lot of exceptions

and don't worry; you are a beautiful lady at 100%.

HAND

There is no general rule like that. There may be several alleles (pairs) responsible for a particular look. In an allele, one gene is from the mother and the other from the father. The one which prevails in the child depends on which gene out of the two was dominant and which one was recessive.

If most dominant genes were from the father, the child will resemble the father.

There will always be curiosity about the unknown

Yo Jazzman, aren't you a little old to be doing the TamTam thing on the plateau? Just kidding bud

Maybe I'm too old for younger people doing that;but it's a good help for my spirit. I don't do it in The Plateau; only one place far from there.

I understand what you say.

Shhh! That is supposed to be a secret, which is why the makers of movies, TV shows and TV commercials don't reveal it.

Says who?

And what do you mean?

Like physically? Personality wise?


If you mean physically, a made up "scientific" answer could be because the father determines whether or not a kid is a boy or girl.
Maybe the X provided by the dad is "stronger" in order to beat out the "y" he also provides and therefore dominates.
But if the "y" makes it, and because y's are smaller with fewer genes, it's dominated by the mom's bigger X.


If you mean personality wise, kids try really hard to differentiate themselves as individuals.
The people they spend most of their developmental life around are their parents.
The people they have the most immediately recognizable similarities to are those of the same gender.
But people are monkeys. Monkey see, monkey do.
We have an entire education system based on it.
So, a boy wants to be different than the other boy in the group, to differentiate themselves...so who to emulate? The other boy? Or the girl?

Or, maybe because sex is such a huge driving factor for behavior throughout life, even before puberty to some degree, that they act like they are in a romantic relationship as a kid.
In successful romantic relationships partners start adopting the traits of the other, of the person they admire and love, of their partner or potential partner.

It would be interesting to see what happens in same sex parents.


There you go, perfectly "scientific" reasons to explain something that is not true.

One thing you will hear a lot of moms do is give credit to the father for looks.
Men are extremely insecure and biologically driven to guarantee the DNA of the baby is his.
Women naturally stroke the ego of men to reinforce the idea that it actually is his baby.
It's fascinating to watch and hear women say things like "the baby looks like it's father!" even when it doesn't.
A woman will see similarities that don't exist, a man will see differences that don't exist.
Too much, or too little, praise and you might want to get a DNA test.

Oh another place?

Never to old to have spirit uplifted!

I resemble my dad and the women on his side of the family...My daughter resembles her dad and the women in his family...My older sister and my two brothers are a combination... :-)

I have an uncanny resemblance to our old Milkman. Which is strange to me?
I told my friend "Your son looks just like my son when he was that age.
He gave the look..lol.Wasn't realizing what I was saying. Not possible though.

Seriously They do say for a male; look at

Your mothers brothers and that would get you I good indication of how your hair will look as you age.

I look like my Dad and have 'his hair line Though

My step kids; one of the twins looked like her Dad the other two here a couple of Azzholes like Mom.

I am a combination of my grandparents.
I could never deny anyone of my children they all look like me. My grandchildren all have the same stamp of dna upon them also.

I have my mother's features
my father's curly hair and brown eye color

All combinations are possible in kids;boys and girls...normal combinations!

The problem starts when a kid strongly resembles his uncle...or someone else in both families. Or a kid strongly resembles YOU in your wife's family female member.

Anyway; all combinations are possible;including milkmen or postmen....


all kids are adorable....all.

Your right, My mother has a mustache just like me.

You resemble me a little bit, but mostly yo mama.

JK...."had to"
