My 3rd cousin is really cute.
And so is my first cousin.
Is it so wrong???

Not when they're on the same body.
Quit swimmin' in the shallow end of the gene pool!
I came really close once. But it's not what you think.
At every family reunion, all we would hear from everyone is "Jon's doing so well as a wealth manager in Hawaii, Jon this and Jon that and Jon, Jon Jon.....Jon has a house on Lake Michigan, Jon's buying a new boat.... But would Jon ever show up at his family reunions. Not a chance. We're all blue collar, poop scooping losers. Had only met the guy once or twice when we were pimply 14 year olds.
So...one hot steamy summer Saturday night about 10 years ago (mid 30's then), my girlfriends and I are out, feeling fine, ready to dance and we meet a pack of guys. We all hit the dance floor, have some drinks, yuk it up a little....one guy in particular is chatting me up, wouldn't really give me a chance to talk w/the other guys (or my friends for that matter), a little on the obnoxious, lecherous, self-absorbed side, but kind of funny, closing the body bubble more and more.
As he's talking himself up ("place in Hawaii, place on the lake, I'm loaded, blah blah) all these family reunions come to mind and I finally get the chance to cut him off and ask "Jon, what's your last name?"
Yes, the response was as I suspected. I give him a three stooges type of hit alongside the head and said "Jon, I'm your COUSIN!"
We're super close today but not like "that." We still have a lot laughs about the "what ifs.
And that's my story. ;D
Maybe when I was 15.
seriously?!
must I say it?

Similar thing happened to me. Was at a nightclub. Chatted up a chick. She mentioned where her family is from. I put 2 and 2 together. It turned out she is my mother's cousin's mother's niece.
And that was it. Haven't seen her since.
[laugh] no, but i like where this is going!

I'm all for that. Except desmolu would use my balls to clean her chain if I showed up with two random Asian girls; and by clean her chain I mean put the bike up in stands and in gear while maintaining high rpm's.
By 3rd cousin you mean cousin 3 times removed? Like, grandfather's cousin's son's daughter? I'd say that's relatively far from your blood line but I probably still wouldn't do it.

I would encourage this just because I find bad things happening to others entertaining.
I come from a state with a land area larger than many countries that was settled by only 135 families. EVERYONE there is my cousin. So I just stayed away from dating anyone with a remotely Spanish-sounding last name. Especially after I found out that my parents were related when I saw my family trees merge in the 1700's (scary, and explains far too much of my family).

Apparently 3rd cousins are genetically indistinguishable from each other. So that's safe.
2nd cousins are almost genetically indistinguishable from each other. Again, safe.
Even first cousins are relatively safe. I think the advisement there is don't make a generational habit of interbreeding with your cousins.
And yeah, I had a hot 3rd cousin; we even had some chemistry. But she had the same rare last name that I have, so that pretty much creeped me the hell out.

The term removed means how many generations are between the two and the number before indicates the number of minimum (that's key) generations between either cousin and the nearest common ancestor. So, if you share an ancestor with anyone who has that ancestor as their Grandparent, then you are first cousins with them.
A 3rd cousin has the same great-great grandparents as you and is in the same generation, such as your great grandfathers's sisters son's son's son.
A 3rd cousin twice removed means your great-great grandparents are their great x 4 grandparents.
Your example, a grandfather's cousin's son's daughter is simply (yea right) your great granfather's brother's son's son's daughter. So, that is a third cousin.
This shit is confusing. I hope he isn't try to do a cousin more than once removed (hopefully not removed at all).

Don't you mean completely distinguishable and mostly distinguishable? :P If they're indistinguishable, doesn't that mean they genetically the same or am I misinterpreting this?

Hmmm... I think I get it....
The #cousin is how many families away they are... sorta. And the # removed is the generation gap.
So my cousin's daughter is... my cousin once removed.
Interesting. I've been confused about those terms for a long time and am now slightly less confused about it. Thank you.
Can't make a call with out pictures...

You got to go to West Virginia for that.
Only 1st cousin dating is sketchy, past that, and it's a miracle you even know each other.
And with the rate of infidelity, if you stay in your home town/city, there is a good chance you'll end up friends or marrying someone you're related to.
One study found 15% of children were sired by someone other than their legal father.

and speaking of 3rd cousins...i have twin 3rd cousins that are redheads.
i didn't live near that side of the family so i didn't see them until a few years ago. too bad we were at a funeral and were introduced by my gandmother. [laugh]
my 1st cousin in law is smokin' hot, and close to my age. So what do I do? I help her dad beat the no good guys away with a stick. Kinda like a sister when they are 1st-cousins. never once thought about romance, gross.

No one has pointed this out in three pages?
His mother's "cousin's mother" = mother's aunt. Her niece is your mother. Don't date your mother. Freak.
she could have more than one niece. then, not your mother, but simply your aunt. still gross.

Actually, it could be a niece to the aunt on the in-law's side in which case there would be no immediate blood relation at all, only a relation by marriage. But i thought it should be pointed out that hie might be talking about his mom. i'm just here to help. ;D
seems like a lot of ppl trying to justify screwing their cousins.....
uhhh hhhhuuuhhhh
Gads I remember studying all this in anthropology years ago, having to trace matriarchal and patriarchal lines etc.
Man it was hard to think about but on paper made more sense. I do seem to remember the professor saying something
about the USA being one of only a few countries that have this social problem with marrying cousins.
It's funny now to see it here with the "gross" comments ;D
seriously ? ? ? ? [popcorn]
although i remember an episode of History channel or Discovery channel that had brothers and sisters that fell in love living together and having kids (couldnt get married). A British couple had the local law trying to take the child away or something.
it was all F*ckered up.

My cousin is a raving pregnant dog, so no, I would never date her.
most states have statutes that lay out (fnar) consanguinity charts so you can pretty easily look up what's at least legally cool for long-term things.
my thought is if you have to start looking it's likely a bad idea.

As a young'n, going to family reunions in these small towns in MI (i.e. Gladwin), every girl in the town was related. Hence my just-slightly-less-than-hatred for the mitten shaped state.
Many summers were spent in Austria with my two hot "cousins". It was only a few years ago that I learned there was no blood relation, but it was all by second mariges. Damn you, Mom and "Aunt" Maria! [roll]
So, my advice to you is...

absolutely, my deceased uncle Nate was an OSS operative and remained with the CIA thru the early 1970s. my pop and nate's wife were the only ones who knew the truth and pop never told me until 2002, 10 years after uncle nate passed away at 95 yo.
we were all told he worked for a garment company and spent time in the far east scouting factories and materials...

Well, now that you mention it, he does have more of a "rolly-polly, cuddly, forest-dweller" vibe. My assessment still stands, though: don't want to date my cousin.
i have lots of hot cousins. some are not so hot anymore, as they are 5-10 years older than me, but when i was a teenager......
i also have plenty of female cousins who are in their early 20's now.
i'm not invited to family gatherings. ???
I think to answer the original question, Yes I would bone your cousins ;D
and if yours looked like (pick yer favorite supermodel) i would too........
