Yes. Without question or reservation. A guy me, a girl me, an inbetweeny me. Any or all is good.

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?


If I did my clone of the same sex, I would feel like I'm on the borderline of narcissism.

As for my female clone, no, for a few reasons. 1.) Probably not very attractive.(Keep your anger within) 2.) The relationship would probably go nowhere. 3.) We'd both have incredibly short tempers.

On the off chance that the female form of me is attractive, I think the bad sides of our relationship would outway the good. We'd annoy eachother rather quickly.

It'd be a stable relationship but I don't know. I'm sure it'd be more than a little awkward knowing that it's just me in a mirror, really.

If the clone is a perfect replica it'd be exactly the same. Pretty strange to even try thinking about.

I know I'd be pissed if my entire existance was to satisfy the other myself in a relationship. And if the clone have all the memories, yet have a gender reversal... Well, I'd be confused if I woke up in a lab, with a vagina and myself looking at me. I'd probably punch myself.

Also, pronouns don't work no more.

That'd be worse than incest. At least there's SOME variation even between siblings. Your kids would be practically guaranteed to have awful abnormalities.

Would the clone have the same personality? And you also have to look at the whole inbreeding side of things.
Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.38
Numbers written with an apostrophe are in dozenal unless otherwise noted.
For example, 0'3 = 0.25, and 100' = 144.

Not if it's a genetically identical clone i.e. same sex.

Does it have to have all the same memories and past experiences? That means it knows about the bad thing.

But really, no. If there were two of me, the other one would just get in the way, and interupt me all the time.

At least there won't be much drama.

No drama? Wait until you're clone starts wondering if s/he was created for the sole purpose of your sexual/emotional gratification, and that her consciousness and feelings are simply a side effect.
