I'm the only male, besides my father, in a family of 4 women. Keep in mind that my dad usually works until around six and then dashes to random meetings whenever they pop up, this meaning that on the weekdays, I'm mostly the only guy around. I've never thought much of this until a cousin of mine told me that I have good fashion sense, something I must have picked up from my sisters and mom. This got me thinking about the other influences my sisters have had on me.
One thing I noticed was that I'm really neat and a generally clean person. I don't have any brothers but from what my friends tell me and other things I've picked up, when you're raised around more males, there's less of an emphasis on tidiness. My sisters on the other hand, are very clean.
One more thing was how I never really got into sports until a year and a half ago, which I believe was because sports was only a big deal to my dad and back then, he was extremely busy with work.
So, have any of you been influenced by your siblings? As shown above, it doesn't really have to be a negative influence, there could be tons of good ones, too.
