I think the only things that they are alike in is that they were founding members of the United States, but other than that nothing. Washington was rather stogy and formal and very seldom laughed. While Franklin was the life of the party and loved to flirt and drink. I think Ben Franklin would have been fun to be around, but not Washington. Washington thought his hands were too big so never shook hands with people and he was always aware that he stood out compared to others. He was a big man over 6 foot with red hair while Ben Franklin was a short balding man. I am not sure that the two got along, but I don't think many people got along well with Washington like they did with Franklin.
