Would Looking at Your Girlfriend’s Mother Tell You How She Will Look Like In Old Age?

Not if I had been your girlfriend. My mom and I look nothing alike. She is very round and I am not. She has what they call an "eagle beak" nose and I do not. She is fair and I am not AND she has dry skin and I have oily skin which means she will wrinkle earlier and I will not. So no, not really. Her DNA for looks or aging could also be her fathers or grandmothers on her fathers side. You never really know. That is nonsense that stupid men believe. Don't fall for it.

It might, but she may also look more like her father or a grandparent! In any case it should not matter. How good do you think you will look in old age? And a relationship should not be built on looks. It should be built on what is in a persons heart and what you have in common.

Quite likely more often than not. If mother is a porker, it's quite likely the daughter will be a piglet by the time she's 25.

I've always stuck by that rule. With some minor exceptions, it has worked like a charm as I've gotten older. Its not just the genetic - parents pass on their habits like exercise, eating healthy and looking after their skin.
