I have found that Alan does, indeed, resemble my dad in a few ways.

positive:
-Want to spoil me
-Tell me when I'm making a bad decision or a good one
-Support me in everything I do (except, dad doesn't support my move to England.)
-Love to have intellectual conversations with me
-Like to work with their hands
-Love their significant others for who they are and think they're beautiful, despite their weight problems
-LOVE video games

Negatives:
-Stubborn as hell.
-Never seem to have plans work out the way they want =\
-Don't like each other very much (Alan's stealing his "baby girl" away, Dad spends his money unwisely and takes it out on me...Alan doesn't like this because it makes me upset, which then makes him mad at my dad)

Thank god they share more positives than negatives.
