Alright... Heres the deal... One of my friends was attracted to a female... Which is normal... But a couple days before he was going to make his move, he somehow found out that they had the same great great great grandpa, and were therefore 4th cousins... But he seems to think that it wouldn't be wierd for them to have a relationship... I keep telling him that it's wierd, but he doesnt believe me...
Is it, or is it not wierd to date your 4th cousin??

For goodness sake! Fourth cousins? They are barely related. NO, it is not weird.

A 4th cousin is not that close... I do not think most people consider that even really related...
There are certainly no laws prohibiting it and I don't think it would bother me unless we had grown up together, THEN it would be a bit skeevy...
Aside from that, I don't think it is all that weird... except for the small world factor involved, which is a little freaky.

I think it's not weird. The blood relation is very ancient and I think genetically there's not problem. I know a case about 1st cousins who got married and have a very big family and nobody has any kind of problem.

It's just not a problem. 2nd 3rd and 4th or more does not mean a thing and I am sure it will be acceptable to date a 1st cousin soon.
It's nothing I have thought about, but have read about it in medical mags

The prohibited degrees r defined in law. If one searches long enough probably all the people in the world will be related to each other. After all their common ancestor is Adam.

4th is not that close.
for all those that say it's weird almost all of us are 11th cousins or closer in some form.

4th cousin wouldn't count.Maybe a first cousin but 4th is really far out there.

Not really. First or second would be weird. If you think about it...everyone is related some how...
