Are you like your father?

[Flubber]

I am much more outgoing and into physical fitness. I am also much more talkative. But I am like him in my quick flash of temper that will lead to a particularly biting comment

That's another difference - my father is usually the very image of courtesy and restraint, but if he's provoked enough, he'll suddenly explode krakatoa-style, whereas I have the full range from perfect friendliness to homicidal rage.

I'm more of an intellectual than my dead was, but other than that, I'm pretty much a carbon copy.

Like him, I'm great with kids because neither one of us ever grew up.

I'm ferociously loyal to my friends and place virtue above practicality. We both put women on pedistals (even tho it makes it easier for them to kick us in the teeth).

He started going grey at 24; I waited until I was 25. But I have his hairline...or what's left of it.

I'm refighting his Battle of the Bulge. I'm the only person in the world who is better than him at vegging out in front of the T.V. At least I'm watching the History Channel or the Discovery Channel (okay -- or reruns of Seinfield).

Depends on what you mean by better.

My dad is rather different then I am on certain things. He doesn't like church very much but we both read a considerable amount, we both tend to enjoy detail oriented jobs (me data entry, him drafting). I don't look very much like him though, since he is 6 feet and quite a large man. I get most of my looks from my mom.

In terms of outlook on life, we both find family important, he wouldn't know what to do without his. I'm more laid back then he is, and not nearly as organised. The biggest thing we have in common is our hearing.

[lord of the mark]

in some ways im very much like him - not only in trivial things, but in big things.

In other ways im very different - partly my moms influence, my generation, and my life experience, and party just being me. But I also try to learn from his mistakes.

But as i age, and miss him, i allow myself the indulgence of letting more little things, mannerisms, phrases of his show through.

My dad and I are quite similar politically (though he will never call himself a socialist since he grew up being taught that they were teh evil), he grew up with parents that practically worshiped FDR. behaviorally I am quite diferent than my dad, who is quite the extrovert, I'm more like my loner uncle.

[Starchild]

I've only known my dad for the past two years, so it's still a bit early to be making comparisons. Physically, we look nearly identical.

I don't worry about turning into my father because A) that wouldn't be such a bad thing and B) it's so unlikely its laughable.
