It's an age-old belief with a strange appeal that somewhere on this planet, alive today, is someone who looks like you - maybe not precisely, but close enough to be your double, your doppelganger.

I saw a girl who looked just like me on a subway. I was totally floored, didn't say anything to her.

Too many people say I look like someone,especially at the shore, I hate that. Why would anyone want to look like another ugly person makes me wonder, Now someone hot, thats a whole nother can o' corn babes. I don't see why we need clones in this world than, people say I look like my mother anyway, why waste money and time...smart and good-lookin' here!!!!

While is it possible that 'everyone' might have a look-alike. It is not possible that they will appear exactly alike.
God built into our genetic code the ability to change ever so slightly, If He hadn't every man on earth would look exactly like Adam and every Woman would look like Eve.
What an utterly confusing world that would make!

There might be someone that resembles us..but even you guys who dread the thought of another like you have a purpose here...and THERE IS ONLY ONE YOU!
Genetics, biology prove it..looked for someone with another fingerprint like yours? So don't underestimate your value...
what is it you need to put your fingerprints on?
Perhaps instead of feeling regretful for another YOU..
make the one you've got AWESOME!
JUST A THOUGHT!

Apparently, my look alike is dead.
Several of my coworkers saw an obituary in the local newspaper of my IDENTICAL twin. It was posted in the luchroom for all to laugh at. The resemblence was absolutely amazing.

I visited a nearby city recently and was walking in the mall, I turned a corner and stood face-to-face with MYSELF!!! I couldn't believe that someone could look exactly like me... that's when I realized that I was standing in front of Mirrors 'R Us... I'm sure the "perfect double" will be related to cloning... someday we'll all look alike... and marriage, as we know it, will end forever!

If I do, I'd feel sorry for him. I'm not the best looking thing out there. LOL.

I think it is possible to find someone who looks enough like you to be considered a double. And what I would give to find mine I think it'd be amazing just to see what they're like and how you two are similar and different.
