Birth order and your mate

[straylight]

I don't see a trend for myself. I see little sisters, and older sisters. Not sure about middle sisters atm, but I'm sure there's someone.

I'm oldest child. my last bf was the youngest of 3. I tend to be 'mothering'. I need to change this habit!

Edit: Oh dear I just read I should be dating a younger brother with older sisters. No wonder I'm still alone. I've been dating my rank. Middle kids seem to be compatible with any order.

where did you read this, ethel? i'm curious what research has been done on this...

[catgirl]

Im my dads oldest child, and my mums 3rd. So was raised as the "oldest".

Ive dated guys who were number 2, the youngest child and now nr 2 again. I see no trend there....

But my friends seem to get younger and younger, and also my partner....Maybe Im just childish, who knows, lol.

You know.. you may be onto something.

Both of my parents are the 3rd child born into large families (9 from my father, and 10 from my mother's side).

I'm the oldest but my sister is way more mature than I am. We were born 17 months apart... She's only had one boyfriend who is an underdog and I seem to date the only child or the most spoiled out of the bunch. How telling.

firstborn and i've only dated firstborns come to think of it

[Subuatai]

I tend to just date the maturest

[danny777]

No trend here. Just date whoever happens to come along and seems nice enough!

nope , no trend. My last ex of 2.5 years was younger by 5 minutes or so (he had a twin sister). Before that, he was the eldest of 3. Before that, the youngest of 2...before that an only child...and then before that the oldest of 2.

I guess I have yet to date a middle child though (I am a middle child)
