everyone tells me i look the dead spit of my dad, 'cept i have red-blond hair and he had blond hair

it really sucks tho cos he used to get called james dean and i've never had that - i'm trying to cultivate a quiff and everything but it just goes curly

but yeah - there's something quite uncanny about seeing a picture of a your parent (or other relative) as a youth when they look just like you

Totally. Can relate, my dad's license has a photo in it where he looks like me only more stupid (or the other way around if you prefer it that way)

I sort of have my dad's face shape, whilst I have my mother's freckles (although mine are very light and not really noticeable unless you're standing very close to me). Both my parents had dark hair and blue eyes, which I've inherited. My nose is like a mixture of their noses. I would say that I look like a more masculine version of my mother mainly.

all the young photos i see of my dad he's smoking and looking badass

the family story is that my mother said she wouldn't date him if he smoked but even in the wedding photos he's puffing away

e: everyone on my mother's side looks stereotypically "jewish" - i don;t have that at all

My face is overall generally like my fathers. I have my father's hair (unfortunately), my mother's eyes (unfortunately), my father's eyebrows (unfortunately), my father's ears (unfortunately), I have my father's natural tan, I have my father's face shape (unfortunately), and my nose is a mixture of both (unfortunately).

My sister is beautiful and got the best genes from my parents and I got the worst :thumbup1:

I look exactly like my dad which makes me feel good about what I'll look like when I'm older. He looked exactly like me at my age except for he had stupid 70's hair like this:

I've been told I look like my mom and in pictures of her when she's younger I can definitely see a general resemblance. Mostly "FUCK, am I really that skinny?" "Yes."
She says I'm prettier than she was though. Not sure if truth or just mom. *insert Fry from Futurama*

I look like a blend of my parents. I have a lot of both of their physical features, but my mom's hair and skin. My dad is pale and has reddish-brown hair, my mom tans easily and has dark brown / black-ish hair. So do I.

I'm told often that I looked like my dad when I was young but look much more like my mother now.

I have my father's enormous jaw, colourless lips and lop-sided eyes; darker hair and everything from my mother's side. Ugh... fuck genes. Both of those arseholes had adult acne, too, and you can guess where that's left me. Perhaps this is too much personally-identifiable information....
Anyway, puke.

edit: fortunately, my sister is even uglier.

when i was born my dad suspected that i was the illegitimate son of one of my mom's friends that she was presumably shtuping at the time. that friend is gay in fact, so my dad's suspicions were dubious at best. i do have his toes and nose and hair. but mostly my mother's features.

Since we love to use celebrities as visual references to what we all look like my father's side is Italian and I don't know them well at all my mother's side of the family looks a lot like actress Michelle Williams (specifically)http://cache2.artprintimages.com/LRG/10/1061/U7ML000Z.jpg I don't know which side of the family I look more like.

I keep hoping that the nurses switched the bassinets, and my real multi-millionaire parents will someday miraculously show up in my life, only to die shortly afterwards, leaving me with their enormous fortune.

I look a bit like my parent's, but I am not strikingly similar to either of them. It's more of a combo of them both really.

I look just like my mother except I have my fathers hair color. Then my younger brother looks EXACTLY like my dad, even has his temperment and mannerisms, it is uncanny. Finally, my youngest brother looks like a mix of my mother and father.

People say I look just like my dad, but I don't get it. Our noses are similar, but besides that, I don't know. Besides, nobody ever reads me as male :(

I have my dads hairline, he's like a balding Tommy Lee Jones but had pretty long hair in his 20's (like myself)... I've also been told I have his smelly feet.

Just to give you an idea, I look like a spitting image of Billy Bob, except with a much less symmetrical face

I look nothing like my dad, but I have a bit of a resemblance to my mom, especially in that I have curly blond hair which is from her.
