Okay, this has been bugging me so I need to get some input, feedback, etc.
Have you ever met your gender opposite/doppleganger? Someone who has so many similarities to you with the glaring exception of reproductive organs and the like? I think I'm working with mine. Like, working next door to mine. This woman is the same age as me. She has similar mannerisms. We're both cocky yet reserved. For christ sakes she has a brown pin-striped suit that looks identical to mine. There are other things but I won't bore you with the details. I'm sure I'm reading too much into this and it's probably a Law of 5s thing too.
Any of you ever experience anything like this?
Yes. You have to kill this person ASAP or it gets really weird and dangerous for you and your family.
srsly :fnord:
I would be terrified if I met someone as evil as me. :evil:
Seriously though, I know what you mean. I had a friend in college my mother swore was my twin. We used to joke that aliens had abducted him from in utero.
RWHN, you of all people should know there's no such thing as a stupid question.
There are only stupid people, who ask questions.
out of curiosity, does she have the same astrological sign?
and - does she agree that you're her doppleganger too?
that's weird dude. I wish I had a body double. I could use him for some awesome pranks.
"Oh look, here comes Cram, way in the distance... OH SHIT HI CRAM, HE WAS BEHIND ME THE WHOLE TIME"

I'm not too sure. I'll have to research the past agency newsletters to see when her B-day is.

I'm just lightly mocking you, is all.
I haven't met mine, but that's because most Irish people are pale. If I was in Greece I'm sure I'd see plenty of doppelgangers.
RWHN you and your double should become a bond villain duo or something
An old buddy / mentor figure of mine once told me, "There are only about 20 or 30 people in the world. They jsut change costume REAL quick"
This holds true sometimes, you may meet someone and KNOW them. Like you've met them before, just not that specific itteration.
I haven't met as perfect of a copy of myself as RWHN has, but I def. get the sense of farmiliarity every time I run into someone else who shares the mad scientist tendencies.
There are 72 members of your Bokanovsky group.
you've only met one of them? :?
It's not just how we look or act either. Our lives have followed similar patterns. Both married around the same time. We've been home owners for the same period of time. We both horrible navigators. I've even discovered that we both briefly lived in the same Maine city for approximately the same period of time. Again, I know this is like Law of 5 stuff in action, it's just kinda weird how much overlap there is.

law of 5's or how much peoples actions are shaped by environment.
Marry her, before its too late.
I'm already married. Besides, I never said that the gender opposite of me is hot.
eta: And to be honest, she's pretty annoying.
now you know how we feel!

cost to coast am does doppleganger stuff fairly often, according to them one doppelganger in every pair is evil,
i have never heard of doppelgangers that are not the same gender.

I have yet to meet anyone any kind of sorta similar to myself.
Guess I'm a weirdo.
Does she have the same sort of facial hair as you?
If not, its probably just a coincidence.
That would make it even more horrifying. No.
That's pretty wild. All I ever meet are same-gender lookalikes of myself. This has happened like 12 times in my life.
"Dude, I saw this guy who looked exactly like you!"
"What, again?"
I even once saw a guy whom my friend told me was what I would look like in 5 years time. Apparently there is a mass production mold for my model. How upsetting.
I just found out that some guy in San Francisco who shares my first and last name registered it as a domain name. I feel the urge to destroy him.
Good idea. There can be only one.
OTOH, maybe i should keep him around to maintain the nice site he just developed for me...
I have a female twin, but she's, ya know, my actual twin. We don't really act that much alike.

Ask him to build a little corner of the website devoted to you.
:news:
Female opposte of RWHN is pregnant. More at 11.
No, but I kind of wish I did. I always wanted a fraternal twin when I was growing up, actually.
If I ever met anyone exactly like me we'd probably end up killing each other.
There can be only one.
I do wonder what I'd be like if I were male though.
STILL HAWT.

There's an actor that looks like you.
Not any more, he looks like a bro now.
I've come to the conclusion that I'd probably be a total dick, for reasons that are too elaborate to enumerate but include family life, upbringing, and environment (i.e. Utah).

Sorry. I travelled into all your parallel universes and killed everyone I thought might make that joke.

this is pretty much the story of when I just started to get to know my girlfriend.
(except the details and patterns of our lives were ours of course, not living in Maine etc)

Hint for noobs: RWHN was actually kidnapped and replaced.
The RWHN you have today is not what we had 2 years ago. For one thing, he has way better tits.
Heh, she's getting ready to pop out another kid. And after not working with her for over a year, I've realized she's actually pretty different. Must've been some strong swamp gas in the air the day I started this thread.

I met my doppelganger, similar physically almost identical mentally. He's male though, as I am. It kind of creeps us both out.
strangely yes. I bought a phone from her after answering her add on Craigslist. We met at a popular local club to do the exchange. She showed up dressed to kill and handed me the phone. I was doing my best not to drool and be the creepy craigslist guy, thanked her, shook her hand and went my way.
When I got home, I discovered she had forgotten to clean out the sent folder for pictures and had left some very private pictures on the phone. I thought about it for a day then decided I'd send her a msg through facebook (she gave it to me so I'd know what she looked like and to know what I looked like so she could find me) I explained that she had neglected to delete the photos but not to worry as I'm not the sort to put them out in the interwebs. I also noted that we have the exact same birthday, only 8 years apart.
She sends me this long reply apologizing for the pics and saying she searched everywhere for them, thought she'd deleted them all, etc. She was leaving for new york in two days and suggested we grab a drink and laugh about the story. I missed her damn call the next night, but she msgd me and told me I owed her a drink date next time she was in town.
Turns out we have the exact same tastes in music, are both CAD and design heads (hers is structural, mine electrical/mechanical) we're both smart asses who have a bit of a problem holding our tongues. We both read everything we can get our hands on. We lived not more than 4 blocks from each other when she still had an apartment here in town and when she came back in town a few months later and called in the drink date, we discovered we know quite a few of the same people.
We went out and hit a couple of spots at the beaches then drove back to town and hit an industrial club we'd probably passed each other in several times over the years. After about 30 minutes she suggested we get the hell out of there. It's still on my top 5 for hot, sweaty, late late night sex.
She calls me every time she comes back to visit, and I've dropped in to see her in NY once.
It's probably never meant to be, but fuck if we haven't had a good time with it.
all from a $100 phone on Craigslist.
Why isn't it meant to be? That sounds fantastic.

there's not much of a chance she'll leave NY now that she's been there a year and loves the city, and there's not much of a chance of me moving to NY for a myriad of my own reasons. At least not in the near future.
But yeah, that girl's pretty fucking awesome. Certainly one of the most intriguing chance encounters and relationship/friendships in my life.
