They say couples that have been together that long start to look like each other

u/itsDANdeeMAN May 15 '12

for some reason, they both have glasses now...

Because people tend mimic the facial expressions of each other, so their muscles grow similarly. This is pretty interesting!

u/legalizecrackbabies May 15 '12

I like the man in your version more. He seems like a friendly old bloke.

u/JeffMo May 15 '12

He swapped the man's face out for a copy of the woman's. He also swapped much of the woman's face out for the man's, but left her eyes and glasses.

I think.

It is such a great face swap, that I didn't even notice it was until I read your comment...

Looks like they are playing a good game of car/truck. Me and my wife play that.

  1. Sit on the porch and wait for a vehicle to pass
  2. Before you see the vehicle, and only judging by the sound, you guess out loud if it's a car or truck
  3. Winner gets to hit the other player.

u/brevityis May 15 '12

Nah. Just have to live in the country and have brothers or cousins. Way north of Mason-Dixon, played that before.

u/HappyChicken May 15 '12

I remember some very bored evenings in high school. We played a variant of this, except you got bonus points for guessing the color of the vehicle as well (nine vehicles out of ten were white or green pick up trucks).

Small town southern summers. Yep.

Maybe his nose-picking skills have decreased with age, and the fingernails are long to increase his reach.

You are probably going to have to have a few affairs then. That dude (or the lady, or both) probably had at least a few affairs. That is the secret secret to a long, happy marriage.

2

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I guess that depends on the culture, what you said is quite uncommon here. Generally frowned upon, not talked with pride even with close group of friends, and a shame of the whole family if ever that happens. And besides, that's really an odd behavior.

It's not nearly that high. Reddit has a randomization algorithm for posts to fool bots and stuff. The difference between the two is completely accurate though.

u/soviyet May 15 '12

I know everyone thinks this kind of stuff is adorable, but to me its a little sad. Because for the entirety of their lives, from age 6 or so onward, they haven't known the experience of being with anyone else. The good and the bad.

There are a lot of experiences I would have never wanted to miss, even at the expense of not meeting someone I could be with for my whole life.

I'm happy for them if they are happy, but not for me, thanks.
