    At that low of a resolution, everyone looks alike. Did OP hit his pixel cap for the month and had to be throttled down?

    “Man raised with exact same formative influences in exact same family unit as Billie Eilish, and who spent a majority of his life with her, has similar opinions about what personal aesthetics he appreciates” is not exactly something that gives me any pause.

    Oh, and BTW, he’s also a musician, he performs with Billie frequently, they hang out together a LOT, and he’s only 5 yrs older so has had extremely similar musical and cultural influences too.

    I’m far more puzzled by the fact that someone out there thinks this is an unexpected situation. It would be more notable if he was into totally different things and dated someone vastly different from the person he grew up with and spends the most time with.

    Even if the implied incestuous desire were the case here, that’s also fairly uninteresting. Incest is the most popular fantasy out there, judging by it’s prevalence on porn sites. I don’t even consider it unusual anymore, it’s part of like 75% of mainstream sexual fantasies now. Acting like it’s wild mysterious nonsense if Billie’s brother was “secretly” attracted to his sister is kind of goofy IMO. It would be stranger if he didn’t think his sister was attractive.

    I know, I’ve thought about this way too much this morning.

    I almost hooked up with someone with my same last name. We talked a bit and determined there was no bloodline relation to that name going back at least to the 19th century since we both had mothers heavily into geneology.

    Needless to say we did not have any desire to hook up afterwards.

    Once I broke up with someone over that. It messed with my head too much, sorry.

    If they don’t give you a satisfying reason why, always assume you’re being dumped for a stupid reason and it’s their fault.
