I know it is generally said that Cancerians have a tough time getting over the past (including exes) but if you were dating someone exactly like your ex, what would this mean? That the only reason he's with you is because he still adores the ex or because he just has a "type" e.g. what physically attracted him to the ex initially will most likely attract him again or it's more a comfort factor (he feels that as you look like the ex, you kinda know each other better in some ways i.e. more familiar (even though, technically you're not as it's just a physical similarity)

Particularily looking for answers from Cancerian men (especially if moon and/or venus in cancer).

By physical similarities I mean more than what could be due to chance i.e. same hair colour, length, skin colour, face shape, height, build, same ethnic etc. (more than what could be purely by chance)

A cancer guy I dated had dated several other Libras, including myself. None of us looked a whole lot alike (different hair color and build). I think it may be more the personality traits...at least for him anyway. And the same has been true for me. I'm drawn to Cancer and Aries men. None of them have looked alike. I adore the family aspect of a Cancer, but the moodiness and anger kill it.

I fit more into the category MissLibra said.
While there may be some physical combinations that get my attention, it's really about the personality.
From a physical standpoint there may have been an occasional similarity, but it was by chance.

Well not really. Definitely not personality wise. Maybe body type tho. I have always liked big women, & my 1st gf was kinda big. So that's probably the only thing that will carry on to next one. I really like someone sweet, & that I can depend on emotionally wise. Most of women I hate ended up to close to have been air signs and a few Scorpios. Lets just hope my next gf is not like my ex lol

Ewww, absolutely not!! The only thing I want a new love interest to have in common with my ex is being tall. The ex is a red head and I've found myself completely put off by redish or fair haired guys because of him. I kind of have a thing for dark haired guys right now. Latinos, Natives, etc.

Everyone can find themselves attracting or being attracted to someone like their ex. When you have an emotional attachment with someone and break up, sub-consciously your comfort level is automatically in-tune (in some way or another) with the person who reminds you of your ex. You seek similar qualities that you find familiar or attractive. It's inevitable! Unless that person really disgusted/pissed you off. (o_O )
