I thought this was going to be about one of my old co-workers for a second. They liked wearing matching pantsuits though.

I can see two sides of this issue and would not wish to be the judge of it and hope you also would not be the judge of it until you consider both of the sides. The first side of this says that yes there are studies that suggest that those who are similar to each other are more likely to stay together for the longer term but the other side of this says that if you are similar at the highest degree to the other it becomes the virtual incestualness and at this point is no longer the safer thing.

The first side of this would take from the work of the evolutionary psychologists including Buss and others who have done the examination of this issue and have found that if you smell like the father of the other person then you are more of the likely person to obtain the attraction from others and the reason for this is due to the likeness of the immune systems. Now I know what you will say here to this comment and that is BUT MEOW THEY HAVE THE SIMILAR CLOTHING AND NOT THE SIMILAR IMMUNE SYSTEM. And to this I use the argument that comes up in every thread on the Fark.com website when a scientific study provides an individual with a finding that he or she fails to agree with and that is correlation does not equal the causal relationship so I say unto you how do you know that perhaps we do not choose the clothing of us based on the immune system of we?

Now the other side of this upon which I would have you do the consideration of is that many twins dress in similar clothing when they are children and we should not encourage the sexual perversions. Perhaps many of you have the fetish of having the twin upon which you did not absorb in the womb and being the lover of this individual but listen to me this is not to the evolutionary advantage of the human beings of race of humans. So perhaps these individuals are quite the freaks of the nature that they have found each other and are acting out this behavior which should never once again be in the encouragement of others.

Or perhaps there is just too much looking into this and we should leave these two alone and be the happy individuals for them. This is not more to ask than can be handled by you. I am happy for these. They have quite the milestone of 65 years. Many of the TotalFark.com do not even live this long due to massive heart conditions much less contain the moral values and the sanity to make the marriage last this long.

What do you think of this issue as I welcome dissension upon you if you do not agree with the statements I have made against this beautiful couple. May they be blessed by the deity of the choosing of you.

The options were limited because nobody else wants to talk to people wearing matching outfits.

Ok, maybe the Brazilian Beach Volleyball team are an exception.

My Ex boyfriend's dad and stepmom used to dress alike. Not just tie matching dress - they'd be as identical as possible. I'm pretty sure it was her idea. He always looked a bit embarrassed by it. Also she was a biatch.

I'm so glad that relationship didn't make it. I don't think I could have stood them as in laws.

As to the punching in the balls thing, please don't. I still have them.

For whatever reason (honestly no idea) but I or my wife can leave early in the morning when the other is asleep and when one of us gets back a lot of the time we are wearing similar colors (again, no idea why) but it happens frequently. Neither of us knows what the other is wearing but it just kind of happens. Both my wife and I have noticed it. It's odd.

Wow, a whole lot of you are pretty dang bitter. They enjoy it, so leave them to it.

Anyway, if you're going to take it personal, why do you care so much what you wear? What sort of preening Narcissus are you that you won't change your tie for your significant other? The way I see it, if she wants me to wear a certain tie, then she clearly cares more than me.

The reason it works is it makes them both much less attractive to others, so the odds of an affair drops dramatically.

That's terrible. Anyone who married a farkette must not be a real man. He's probably a cringing, gutless wimp to be married to a shrill harpy like that.

I have a theory: Meow's posts start out as normal English, then get translated to Japanese, then back to English. There could be some other language in the middle, but you get my point. For example, here's TFA put through the English-Japanese-English filter:


A couple of Fremont, has a unique way to express their love. They say it is part of the glue that holds together nearly 65 years of their marriage.

Long, sustainable blueprint for marriage, but there do not know, for Mel and Joey Schwanke, in their closet, which contains the major components of the trade union.

Half dozens of years over the past three years, you can find two that match the dress. Mel tie it means to be an exact match of the dress of Joey.

"We, even if there are no costumes to match, do not have the courage to go somewhere," said Mel said.

It has a matching dress of the two custom-made 146 at the start, but they have been wearing them for too long, they do not remember.

"We did not because it was before you travel to '76, let's look at ..." Joey said.

"Oh goodness sake, I do not remember what occurred the first costume that," Mel said.

These days, it will take a few extra minutes to find a match from time to time, 81-year-old Joey Mel and 86-year-old, always avoid it.

"Every day," Mel said. "Every day, my tie would match her dress."

Floral tie or dress is not a coincidence. Owns a flower shop for over sixty years Schwankes, has operated. Since 1896 it has been to the family of Joey Schwanke.


I could be wrong. In any case, he's / she's awesome.
