Are men who have sisters different from men who do not have sisters?
Thanks for A2A.I have a brother and hence my answer is only from what i have observed from friends who have had sisters, they tend to be more caring towards women in general and do not objectify women. The relationship with their sister affects every other relationship they get into be it friendship,marriage in more positive ways than one who does not have one.A guy with an elder sister tends to look upto his sister and her life to draw parallels in his own life post marriage, he tends to look for similar qualities in the girl he wishes to marry.From my personal experience i did most of my schooling in a boys school and only during my UG had opportunities to interact with the opposite sex and it was a little demanding and emotionally challenging until i got over it.It depends on the age that the guy gets exposed to interacting with girls, the younger the better.
Any girls who have all brothers, no sisters, your thoughts please?
I was just wondering if I can get some of your viewpoints if you are in this situation, or know someone who is. I have 3 sons, and one daughter who is the baby of the family. Their ages are 7, 3, 22 months and 11 months. On the one hand she's got it made right ? There will always be boys in our house, she'll probably have crushes on all her brother's friends. Since she's the baby i'm sure she'll be protected and sometimes smothered by them, never allowed to bring a boyfriend home, lol. And she'll probably have them wrapped around her little finger, driving her to the mall and giving her money. But seriously I am wondering if she'll be unhappy. If she'll always long for a sister, and be lonely because she'll feel they have each other and she doesn't have a sister to share things with. I don't know b/c I have 2 sisters and no brothers, but I know when I was younger I longed for the older brother. if any of you are in a family like this, i'd like to know your opinion. Thanks
As a sister, do you love your brother? If yes, then how much, and why? If no, then why?
I love my brother, and the amount can't be expressed in words.He is just the best person out there. He is there for me all the time. Me, being stupid and stubborn can't keep my opinions to myself and get involved in cold wars with everyone. And when there is tension every where around me, and when people are really hating me for getting into fights, he is just sitting there consoling me and telling me how it's totally not my fault.I have been always pampered by my mother, she was there to support me and I always knew I was not alone. Her death during my mid-teens turned my world upside down. I am never used to criticism, but now I had to face everything alone. It effects me a lot because I was used to appreciation and nothing else. And now, my brother is the only one who keeps remembering me that I am not bad and I am enough lovable. I don't even talk to him about my problems and how stressed I am, he just knows it. And he knows how to uplift my mood every time.I have never really said him how much I love him, and how much I miss him in his absence. But I hope he knows.And you know the best thing? He is not my biological brother or any sort of cousin. But I think, even if I had a real biological brother, he wouldn't be as good as my brother is.May Allah grant him with success in both the worlds :)
When two sisters marry two brothers, are the children more than cousins considering they are from the same gene pool?
Yes, that is called a “double first cousin.”Double cousins arise when two siblings of one family mate with two siblings of another family. This may also be referred to as 'Cousins on both sides.' The resulting children are related to each other through both of their parents and are thus doubly related. Double first cousins share both sets of grandparents and have twice the degree of consanguinity of ordinary first cousins.Cousin - WikipediaThey are expected to be similar to half-siblings (although with a greater variance).Coefficient of relationship - Wikipedia
Is it incest to sleep with a step-brother or step-sister?
This is not about me, I'm an only child and my parents are together. I have a psychology assignment about incest and I need other people's opinions. 1. Since there is no blood relation, do you consider it wrong to have sex with your step-sibling? Consider that even with a pregnancy, the baby will not have a disease or birth defect related to incestuous sex. 2. How common is incest among step-siblings? Is it as common as incest among blood siblings or not?
Men with sisters, how is your relationship with them and what effect do they have on your life?
All 3 of my half sisters are now ex half sisters. I have no relationship with them. 2 of them are selfish liars, who do as much as they can to hurt people, especially their father, and the 3rd is just…my gods where do I start? She's a complete ditz. But ott in an adorable way. In a fairly harmful and selfish way. I don't understand how they could end up being so selfish, and just asinine. I really don't. I was there, growing up, watching them use other people, and be just downright horrible people. What effect do they have in my life now? I occasionally get upset when I have to think about them, but other than that? They have no effect on my life at all. What is our relationship like? I had a mock funeral for all 3 of them a few years ago, dug a hole for each of them, and buried a picture in each mini grave. I've laid them to rest, so hopefully I dont have to acknowledge their relation to me any longer. It has worked well so far. The only one I've seen in the last 10 years, was a few weeks ago, and it was nice to be able to treat her like a distant acquaintance, instead of family.
How do i stop my older brothers being so over-protective?
This is not going to change until you get married (and please wait until you are in your mid 20´s at least!). I was a protective older brother too, and I didn´t relax about my sister until she got married. But the guy she married did end up cheating on her, they got divorced, and she later got married again and has a really cute 2-year old boy now. Anyway, in high school, I think I was able to protect my sister, but in college she was date-raped once. She never gave me the guy´s name, and she didn´t even tell me about it until years later. I guess my point is this: your brothers care about you a lot, and they are worried about guys because... well, they ARE guys! They know how guys typically think. You will find a lot of freedom if you go away to college (someplace far from your brothers), but sometimes you will probably miss that they are not there protecting you. I was a good guy myself, never taking advantage of girls. But I was around a lot of guys in college especially who were very good at taking advantage of young, innocent girls by getting them drunk and then having sex with them. If you want your brothers to relax a bit, why don´t you deal with the problem from the beginning. Tell the oldest brother about some guy that you like and introduce the guy to your brothers. Make sure you actually pick a decent guy -- not the type that your brothers really should be protecting you from. *** You made me laugh because you reminded me of something. I took karate from elementary school all through high school. When I went away to college, I came back one weekend to visit. My sister later came to see me in my room because she was mad at me. She said she had been to a party in which there were guys there that had gone to high school with me. She said, more than once, she would be talking to some guy and another guy would come over to him and tell him, "That´s XXXX´s sister." The other guy would then stop talking to my sister! I thought that was great then. The guys were still afraid of me even when I wasn´t around anymore. But as I mentioned above, I wasn´t always able to protect my sister. Eventually she was on her own sometimes.
Big Sisters, how protective are you of your little siblings??
I just want to know cause i am very curious. Im 17 and my little bros 14 and i luv him very much. When he needs help im always there and im very protective of him. If somebody uses harsh words against him its big sister to the rescue lol. he can fight his own battles but im there if he needs me. I like to embarass him 2 but not like humiliate him i just lke making him blush lol. When my friends are there i just pull his cheeks and he goes red lol but he doesnt mind. So what do u do 4 ur little siblings.
Am I closer to a half-brother or a first cousin?
You share roughly 25% of your DNA with a half-sibling. You share half of that (12.5%) with first cousins. Those are theoretical values based on a perfect model. Real life is a bit messier, but the range of shared DNA found in real life studies still hovers very closely around this range, without any crossover. Genetically, you will always share more DNA with a half-sibling.
