Dating Your Clone

Postby Wilgrove » Fri Mar 18, 2011 11:54 am

So, this came up in another thread, and the question is simple. Would you date a clone of yourself? It can either be a clone with the opposite sex or a clone of the same sex, would you?

Honestly I would, mainly because it would probably be the least complicated relationship I'd ever have, and I'm already best friends with someone who is basically a female clone of myself. The only reason we're not dating is that she's a lesbian and is dating my other best friend.

So, would you date a clone (either same sex or opposite sex) of yourself?

To what extent would the opposite sex clone be opposite sex? Would it have feminine features, or would it just be me with a vagina?

If the former, maybe. The latter...not so much.

Also I might be kind of scary if I PMS'd, so maybe not that either.

It would basically be you, but with XX chromosomes and feminine features.

If the clone is a different gender, it's technically not a clone.

That said, I would date a clone of myself.

Hell no. It combines the worst aspects of masturbation and narcissism.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Wait...so you realize it combines the worst aspects of masturbation and narcissism.

So why would you say no?

Also for the sake of argument are we assuming the clone is speed-growth'd to be the same age as us and somehow has access to our life experience, so that they have a similar personality?

I'm already pretty much built like a girl, so as long as she-me didn't have androgenic alopecia or a beard, I could do a hell of a lot worse.

Yes, it's speedgrowth and let's just assume we have the technology to implant your personality and memories and life experiences into the clone.

No, whole interest of relationship comes from differences - if everything is just same, it is boring as hell.
"You know this this and this happened."
"That is bad.."
"Yes it is"
Now that is all there will be during most of conversation.

Maybe I would, but I wouldn't marry a clone of myself nor reproduce with him. Same genetic material could cause me to have offspring with genetic disorders.

I would date the opposite sex version of myself. I mean I already love myself well beyond the level I ought to so I'd absolutely adore me with lady-parts.

Though I'm not entirely certain it would last, we'd be too alike, I think I need a girl who will drag me outside occasionally.
