You Look Just Like This Guy

You look just like this guy.

When someone says you look like a celebrity or a friend of theirs, how do you react?

I've always been in good support about it.

There's a guy who has the same last name as me and is only two years older.

People always tell me, Arman, you look just like him.

I can sort of see the resemblance, so I say, yeah, okay.

Other times, the comparisons are a bit of a stretch.

I've heard people say I look like Kobe Bryant or Barack Obama.

I don't really see it, but I still go along with it.

It's harmless, so why not?

But I've noticed that a lot of people get mad when you say they look like someone else.

Their pride gets hurt.

I remember showing a guy with a big beard, a photo of someone I thought was a twin.

He got mad.

No way, man.

What are you smoking?

I don't look like that guy at all.

Sometimes looking like someone is not about your face.

It's about how you act.

You might not actually look like the person, but you have the same energy.

Because you act like them, the other person thinks you look like them.

Most of the time, these comments are just a way to start a conversation.

You can handle it in two ways.

You can either get but hurt or you can be a good sport who laughs it off.

At the end of the day, looking like someone else does not change who you are.

Life is much better when you can laugh at a comparison

instead of making a big fuss over it, our money talks.
