Who do you resemble most?

Hi Deepak! Nice discussion topic. It is said that I resemble my paternal grandfather in a good number of ways. He was a six footer with long limbs and I am tall for a woman by our Indian standards. Moreover, I resemble him by bone structure and features too . My eyes, nose, mouth and chin all look like him. My son looks a lot like my husband and a little like me. But, many of his inherent characteristics are like mine. Apparently there is a lot of my father in me[ resourcefulness, creativity and boldness] though I do have some qualities of my mother[ emotional and reactive]. I guess we all would be a mix when it comes to characteristics /qualities or behavioral patterns, because though some of them do tend to be genetic many are also acquired and consciously and unconsciously emulated upon by us. One strange thing though--my sister’s daughter resembles me in many ways and once when I found that she had a peculiar whim [as regards some food habit] I was most surprised. She or I never knew this and she was not in close contact with me to have acquired this out of habit. This whimsical like had just been genetically transmitted and my mother was very surprised when I made a similar remark like hers. She said’’ My! Your niece makes exactly the same face and statement’.

Hi Deepak I resemble to both my father and mother... In a sudden look I resemble most like my father.. But my eyes are like my mother..

When i was younger people used to tell me that i look like my father, that i am a female version of him. But now that i am an adult and have my own girls, when i look at our pictures i see my mom in me. Then, people say that my youngest looks just like me. I know that i have acquired most of my mother's habits and i am grateful for that. I wish that my girls do acquire some of these habits too.

i resemble the most with my father. actually i am the first child of my parents and my mom use to pray from god a lot that the child should be like her husband and my mom love my dad a lot so when now people say that i resemble the most to my dad she really feels very proude on me and my dad and she feels very amazing.

Hi, is strange, but i don t have anything from my mother, maybe just gender, i am my father copy, his face, his character, even his gesture. Is strange again that i never were in good relations with my mother too, we are so different, sometimes i ask myself if she is really my mother. Any way, my father was my idol, so, seems that if i like him i like myself too.

I do resemble my mom a lot. Infact at lot of places without introduction, just by guseeing , my few new aunties would guess it correctly that whose daughter i am... That was when i was a kid, not sure of now though...

Well, in a lot of ways I think I resemble my real dad some, but since I never really knew him I have to a lot of times go on memories. But at the same time everyone says I look exactly like my Grandmother did when she was around my age. I have seen pictures of her though that it does look like me for sure.

hmmm...at first glance, I resemble my father....but if you check my features....I've inherited my eyebrows and lips from my mother, nose and colour from my father. My body structure is mainly inherited from my dad's side of the family. So, physically I resemble both my parents. But as far as qualities go, I'm more like my father except that I've got my mother's temper..lol Now, my kids....my older one is exactly like me (physically as well as personality) and my younger one is a carbon copy of my husband (physically except that he is fairer than my husband as well as qualities) So, what about you??? Who do you resemble and who do your kids resemble?

I think I look more like my mother but I have my father's eyes and characters. I inherited my fathers passion for reading too. My second son looks like me but my eldest is having more of his father's genes.

Hi Deepak, Among the four siblings am different. I think I look like my father (more). My younger sister has some similarities with me but elder sister is totally different. She looks like our mother. Regarding our kids, I am confused, because different people have different opinion, some saying elder son looks like me and I think those people are right. Here we have to consider others opinion also because I think they can give a more justifiable opinion than us. Regarding habit, both got their father’s habits mostly.

I resemble more of my father.Even my voice resembles him and so many people mistake me for him through phone.And I can see most of his qualities in me.About my kids,my daughter resembles my face and my son resembles my wife more.But speaking of the qualities my son resembles me more while my daughter resembles my wife.Cheers!

I follow mostly my father, whom I miss so much, though he left us several decades. My face is so called undetectable, common withou little special features, but in my college days, I saw someone who is so much alike with me. We both had such impression, and became a bit more related with each other.

Interesting topic Deepak!! :-) You are such a great person, that you remind me today, of those cherish moments I shared in my childhood with my parents. Those were the days!! I have never thought that one day I will think so intensely about this topic that whom I resemble, my father or mother?? Just thinking!! You know you won't believe this but this is true that my taste and habits is entirely different with my parents. My habits are entirely different. I don't believe in false tradition and culture where we are debarred to think differently and openly. I am a open mind person. I accept things very easily but I felt that my parents hesitate to accept things and the facts. But at last they feel that they were wrong because today things are changing. I think parents have to accept everything that which is going on in today's modern world. Yes, they are slow but I am sure they will understand gradually. May be because of my friend circle and different environment, my thinking seems little positive. Anyways, thanks for this interesting topic. Take care!! Aira

I resamble most to my father except the color of my eyes (they are blue). I know that genetics say that your characteristics are all on your dna that is a mixture of your father's and your mother's but nobody in my family, as far as i search as eyes like that. I usualy forget things like my mother does but I have a great intellegence like my father! lol, i'm too cocky!

I resemble my paternal grandma in appearance,and characterwise a mixture of both my parent.Regarding my kids ,both of them resemble more of me in appearance,but character wise my elder son inherits more of my characters,while my younger son that oh my kiddy.

hello there! i guess when it comes to physical attributes/appearance i resemble more that of my father's compared to my mother. But when it comes to disposition and outlook in life, i say i am like more my mom who is tougher and more daring when it comes to difficulties/problems in life. i got my courage from her..on the other hand, i got my writing skills from my father.

Hello my friend dpk262006 Ji, Well, I would say my father was adamend, I have in-herited same and same goes with my children. My fore fathers were non-alcholic, so myself and my all three children who are above 35 yrs. We both are non-smpker and same thing goes with my children. May god bless You and have a great time.

Hello there.. i don't really know who i resemble most..coz when i go out with my mom, ppl said that i look like her..i think i've got her eyebrows, eyes and lips...but when i go out with my dad, ppl said that i look like him..i think i got his nose and face shape..but when i go out with them, ppl said is this really your daughter?..coz i dont look like a Filipino(I'm from Philippines)..its a bit pain why i looked like an Indian..sometimes, they thought that im a sister of my mom since im taller than her..so, i think, it depends on the mixture of me by my parents..

People have told me that I look like my dad and people say I look like my mom. I believe I'm a mixture of both. I think I look like my mom and I'm tall and slender like my dad. My stubborn like my mom. And more to myself like my dad. My daigther who is 10 months old looks just like me everything. As far as her personality . I'll found out more when she gets older.

I resemble most with my father, may be that is the reason I am much attached to my father.
