    My ex checked my Mum out not long after we'd met and proceeded to tell me she was fit!

    That was about 19 years ago.

    I am more like my mum's mum in looks and temperament. It's skipped a generation!

    I look nothing like my mum, and I'd be a bit worried if they were checking out my dad...

    Me too . Certainly hope my DH didn't expect me to look like my mum at the same age, she was 5 inches taller stunning red head, not short, fat and blonde. He would be dreadfully disappointed!

    Should check out their cooking that's for sure.

    My DH told me that when we were first going out he made sure my mum was still a nice looker to check what I'd look like when I got older!
    I thought of it as a joke, but I have since heard that it's quite a common thing. Did the men on here take notice of their girlfriends mum before deciding to settle down?

    I seriously hope not!!!

    Yeah we check out a girlfriend's Mum. Generally because we're men though, not because we're looking to compare in case of marriage... unless the Mum is really fat and then worry might set in.

    Yes my partner is always checking my mum out and making remarks. I tell him hes gross, he also comments with that " look at the Mum you know what your letting yourself in for". Well since I take after my Dad mostly I hope he wont be too disappointed.

    Gotta give it to my Mum though with her teenage figure and nice skin. Not jealous much.
  • Well I certainly didn't check out his father 20 odd years ago, if I had I'd be running for the hills lol

    OK, so is it OK if we check out the state of your Dad's beer belly before we get serious with you?
