These people claim that they happen to have found their "soulmates", but I'm still 80% sure they just married twins just for the sake of marrying twins.
One of them probably liked the brother a lot but wasn't totally in love with them but for the sake of them marrying twins together, they just said yes.
Being genetically dissimilar is good for the gene pool. When we are attracted to another's natural smell, it is because they are genetically dissimilar from our own genes.
Fun Fact: In this video Eddy says "something feels twoff". "Twoff" is the correct pronounciation of the Turkish word "tuhaf". Which literally means "weird". What a "tuhaf" coincidence.
You know it is, and their avoidance about the whole switching partners thing confirms it. You know they get up to some wacky shit. I guess you could say that they're "twinky"
@@denied7616 the idea of swapping partners who look the same. I'm only guessing here but remember how they don't answer any questions about that. Also they met at a twin convention, I bet they knew what they were doing.
In college I knew a pair of identical twins who were the same major, took all the same classes, had the same job, and always dressed exactly the same. They literally never went anywhere without each other, and it seemed very codependent. The weirdest part was once you got to know them, they actually had quite different personalities, which made their forced identical lifestyle even stranger. Imagine not being able to take a class, buy an outfit, or go to an event unless another person approves, all because they happen to look like you.
speaking as an identical twin, i think you hit the nail on them being codependent on eachother. my twin and i were both pretty codependent on eachother and i would get pretty depressed when we were apart for long periods of time because for most of our life we were there for each other, but we still have our own separate lives now. it sucks that some twins cant seem to pry themselves out of the hole of codependency, but having lived a similar life, i get it, and i can't really judge. but i just dont think its that healthy
As a kid with anxiety I always wished I had a twin I could do everything with. Even if we had different personalities we would still need to go to school together and stuff. Especially because I’m an only child so I had to do everything completely alone. So I can understand why they would want to do stuff together even if they have very different personalities. You don’t need to have the same personality to enjoy the same things. I don’t have a twin but throughout high school I never took a class unless I had a friend who also was taking that class. I once tried to take a cooking class that I was really interested in even though none of my friends were doing it but I was so overcome by anxiety that I ended up dropping the class and switching to business with my friends. I think a lot of people also will only pick classes that a friend picks so I don’t think it’s that different of a situation for the twins. It’s just like best friends picking the same classes so they can be together and you see that a lot.
More proof to me of why identical twins are creepy I hope I don’t have identical twins. If I do they’re gonna be forced to have different bedrooms and forced to dress differently. Well also celebrate birthdays a week apart. I don’t want that creepy identical twin bond to happen
@@I-hate-youtube797 No reason to be that crazy or upset about it. Twins get that way when they're treated that way, like they're a set, it's not something that just happens on its own. Most identical twins are just regular siblings who just happen to look the same. They're not creepy. Yes, they're sometimes close. That usually happens with siblings who are close in age, twins or not. Don't deprive your children of having a relationship with their sibling, because you're scared of a "creepy twin bond" because it's not a thing. Treat them like regular siblings and they'll be regular siblings. Because they ARE regular siblings, they just happen to share a birthday. They'll likely be interested in the same things, because that's what happens with siblings who are close in age. Are you going to be like "no you can't like Minecraft because your brother likes Minecraft pick something else"? Because that is PSYCHOTIC. When they're old enough to care how they're dressed, let them pick their own clothes. They might want to match sometimes, LET THEM IF THEY WANT, but they usually won't because being mistaken for the other will be extremely frustrating. They will WANT to be different people, because they ARE different people. You don't have to force it, or take precautions against "twinness" that's freaking neurotic. They might have a "matchy matchy" phase growing up, but that is just a phase. They will grow out of it. Don't try to force them out of it, because that will just make them want to be even more "same" just to spite you. Trying to force them to not match will just get you the twins from the Shining. Which you would DESERVE if you would raise your kids with a psycho amount of control like you are suggesting.
@@RedorgreenfulThey literally were :'y I saw them on some show and that's what they wanted. Sadly, the one woman miscarried before getting pregnant again while her sister was pregnant. They each ended up having a boy, but all I remember was that the names were whack.
It's a fetish. It has to be. I'm no expert and have no qualification or authority to make this claim but there's something narcissistic about twins who want to be identical to their very core. There are incestuous undertones with these twins that makes me uncomfortable and it's hard to ignore. They aren't individuals. They see themselves as a single entity so there's no wrongdoing on their eyes. It'll be a fascinating psychology study.
Did it make anyone else uncomfortable that they kept saying “if we have girls” or “if we have boys” ignoring the fact that one of them could have a boy and the other a girl
Being an identical twin and having our parents force us to look and act exactly the same was awful. They thought it was cute I guess, but one day my twin snapped and cut her hair and dyed it. It sounds small, but it was a huge deal for us. Then she told me we weren't allowed to have the same friend groups anymore, which made me sad, but we were both so scared of not having any sort of real identity. She still dyes her hair and I'm not allowed to dye mine the same color, or she'll be incredibly upset. Forcing us to act the same really put a rift in our relationship :( Edit: ahhhh I didn't think anyone would see this I was just venting 😭. Yeah idk what to do sometimes, but me and my twin still love each other. It's complicated but thanks for validation and kind words ♥️
@jamesbarbarick3908 wow random RU-vid commenter, you sure seem like an expert in human behavior and family dynamics. Care to tell a few more strangers undeniable facts about their family lives that you've never seen or caught a single glimpse of?
@@shanedog5059yeah like none of their observations were not apparent in what they replied to. it’s not some grand leap. I think they just didn’t like that they..rephrased it? like that’s just. putting words to it?
I am unable to listen to the phrase "Imagine growing up having a household of your parents, and an identical set of your parents, and a confusing *sibling-cousin* and the lines are all blurred" without cracking up
@@yureka9335 ya. It’s on accidentally. Which hints that it probably isn’t an accident. I’m saying that them kissing their husbands, accidental or not, is probably unlikely. Lol. I do understand that it’s a joke aswell but I’m jus saying.
Right! They NEVER mention that possibility. I think the editors of the series cut the part where they explain they wanted opposite gender kids to be cousin-siblings who would date later in life and create a supertwin-kid.
Imagine the disappointment when they realized their children are not going to be identical in any world. There might be a resemblance, but it's practically impossible for them to have the same exact genes. These will be different people
If I was a parent of identical twins, I would be so extremely anxious for the first like two years of their lives before they can fully internalize their own name, worrying that I was mixing them up and they couldn’t correct me, and then they would just end up getting switched in names by accident
I’m an identical twin and when I was a kid my mom always made sure to never dress us in the same clothing, made sure in primary schooling we had different classes, and encourage us to have separate hobbies from each other. Looking at this video makes me very glad my mom enforced us to be separate individuals rather than a codependent single unit.
I’m due with twins in April and thats my plan, I don’t want them to feel like a set, they just happen to be twins, that’s it. They are the own individuals which is what my husband and I want them to grow up knowing. Also side note I’m gonna be exhausted enough as it is with twins and my older daughter why would I add any possible confusion with me dressing them a like or anything like that, I just don’t get the appeal. Glad your mom didn’t treat you as a set and let you both be individuals.
I can see how being a twin would be a big part of your personality, because theres literally a clone of you walking around, but you need some individuality fr
@@SydneyBlanton97 Yeah, I was hit with a little bit of regret as soon as I finished. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of free time at the moment so I caved to my "Must know interesting plot NOW!!!" urge. Maybe in a year or so when I've forgotten the details I can try to read them, thanks for the rec :D
I grew up with triplets where two of them were identical and one was not. So they started as two eggs and one of them split. The non-identical sister said she was so happy she didn't look like them so she could have her own personality and life, lol.
I like to imagine that only one of the twin husbands had feelings for one of the twin wives, but that the other guy was just peer pressured into dating the sister and can't leave the relationship
I’m actually an identical twin with a brother who looks exactly like me, and a big struggle in my life has been trying to get people to see me as just me, not one piece of the set. I couldn’t even imagine the personal identity nightmare that living in that household would be.
In my chemistry class back in 2014 there were a set of identical twins and a set of fraternal triplets. My chemistry teacher liked to use them to demonstrate how chemical reactions work by having them represent molecules/atoms and interact. She was on some weird shit lmao
One of my biggest pet peeves is when parents force their identical twins to wear the same clothes... like let the kids wear what they want and let them be their own people omg. I’m not a twin but I don’t think I would enjoy being forced to dress the same for like the first 10 years of my life.
my brothers are identical twins. there’s a constant issue with them wanting to be their own separate people and people like this making that nearly impossible. it’s not only creepy and weird to generalize people the way they do, it’s damaging.
As a Quad, I feel this with my whole heart. My sisters and I are identical. I wanna be my own person not just a quadruplet. It sucks sometimes and the two of them generalising being identical in every way is so false and disheartening to me.
Imagine someone breaking into these people's house and then just seeing 4 people who look identical, dressed identical and talking in unison with the exact same voice
They wake up and all scream in unison, then when the robber tries to run the door is locked and the twins start beating the shit out of the robber/robette in sync
As a fraternal twin who grew up with both identical and fraternal twin friends, I can say fraternal twins are given a better chance at being less weird because people grant you your individuality more readily since you don’t look like another person. A lot of the weird seems to come from just constantly being put in this very specific box of being the same.
As a fraternal twin this healed me so much 😭 The worst part about being one is when you tell people and they ask " Do you two look the same?!" "No we're fraternal" and EVERY time they respond with "Oh 😒" INFURIATING.
This feels like the human version of sibling syndrome in dogs, where littermates are raised together nonstop and can develop intense codependency, separation anxiety, dont bond with humans/other dogs, aggression, etc
these girls seem to have the fact that theyre twins as their ENTIRE personality. i learned absolutely NOTHING about them personality-wise besides the fact that theyre twins, which definitely shouldnt be a whole ass personality
EXACTLY. When it showed them working together, I thought, "that probably took a fair bit of effort to find a job at the same company - was it really necessary?"
What about if one dies that we are twins personality dies with them . Will the surviving twin just stop existing or kill themselves when they realise their whole life had been designed around the fact there is 2 of them
It's kind of like the movies/shows nowadays where being female, black, gay, etc is expected to be the entire personality. Being a twin is not a personality trait!
Twins at my school shared one Facebook page until their 20s. And whenever they changed their look (which they did pretty often), they both did the same thing
If anyone's wondering: they both had boys, one's birth was announced January 21, 2021, and the other was announced April 21st, 2021 (idk if they were both born on the 21st) and fitting the theme of alliterative names they named the babies Jett and Jax. Based on a TikTok they uploaded to their Instagram it seems like their kids will mix them up which is absolutely wild
This doesn't just go for twins, but I feel like it's not good to get that close to...anything. When their existence becomes part of someone's identity and something where to happen to them, that would be beyond devastating. Losing a spouse or sibling is bad enough, but that's taking it to the next level.
My husband is a fraternal twin and his mom is greek/Italian and his dad is British. My husband got 100% of the greek/Italian (super tan, dark hair dark eyes) while his brother got 100% of the British (pale, reddish light brown hair, freckles). People hardly ever believe theyre related let alone twins. One of my bridesmaids at our wedding asked his brother how he knew the bride and groom lol.
@@mr.hippiejoe8884 What? I don't think you know what incest is. Is this pair of twins related to this other pair of twins by blood? No? It's weird, but it's not incest. Also, how did you pass up the oh so easy pun of twincest?
im a fraternal twin. im so glad my mom raised my brother and i to be own person and celebrated things separately. like we'd get our own birthday cake and party (if we wanted, usually just celebrated together) and our own gifts, while our family tried to pass off birthday and christmas gifts as "joint gifts" 🙄
Eddy was 100% right that that whole double twin marriage was creepy as fuck, but I do want to say the concern that "you'll mix up your spouse for their sibling" is nothing. If you've ever had or been friends with an identical twin, you'll know that past a very young age even its very easy to tell them apart. Even twins that live extremely similar lifestyles grow up with enough subtle differences to their faces and such that you can always tell which is which.
i mean, genetically speaking, the distinction is meaningless right? they're basically clones of one another, so your aunt/uncle might as well be your own parent. man, twins are weird.
@@hippieduck those kids are gonna either grow up to be weirdos like their folks, or they're going to VIOLENTLY reject everything about their lives and be as distinct as possible.
The worst thing about this is that these people are going to want their children now to act like twins even though they aren’t. They’re going to force it on them since apparently everything in their lives revolves around twins and being a twin is SO great. I hope their children are different genders and look nothing alike to put in kink in this nonsense.
I can’t really blame Eddy for being upset over the blanket statement of “Twins are inseparable, we do everything together” because last I checked, I don’t change clothes at the same time and in the same room as my twin sister since that’d just be weird Edit: speaking of being a twin, since I’m shorter than my sister and being a guy, people tend to mistake my older sister and my twin for being the twins since they look the most similar (which I can’t fault them for that) and since me and my twin have similar sounding names and hers is also a guys name, people tend to get our names confused, even those who’ve known about us for years
their kids on reddit in the future like: "How do i tell my mum [f48] my cousin [f14] and i [f14] don't get along because both our parents are twins with each other?"
i co-oped for a kindergarten class with two identical(i think) twin boys. i was always careful to use their shoes (one liked blue and one liked orange shoes and they had their initials on them) because i had heard how hard it can be to be seen as one part of a set and not a whole person, people in the comments here talk about it. they were very kind and lovely kids, like the rest of the class:) they both liked pokemon and i would help them learn to draw them (my favourite is kyurem and they asked to draw it on my last day). i drew birthday cards for all the kids with birthdays during the school year, and something that bothered me was this fear that they would get like... one card for both of them. It's a weird thing to worry abt but idk lol. i had a great time learning each of their 3 favourite pokemon!
I had roommates who were identical twins. After few months, they started to look extremely different. Also, the children of the twin couple will definitely not be best friend, they may even hate each other.
I'm a fraternal twin that has a sister, people have confidently told me I was lying and that wasn't possible. So I just don't really bring it up because in the past it has been an actual point of contention. People are actually this dumb.
As a fraternal twin I just want everyone to know that we love it when you ask if we are identical and talk to us like we are children and you should continue doing that.
as an identical twin i definitely agree. I also love it when you ask the exact minute I was born, and how I can tell myself from my sibling :) these are both things that I know and care about
My younger cousins are fraternal twins and when I tell you that they could not be more different personality wise I am not kidding. One is a basketball player who blows off his homework and will find any reason to get out of chores, the other has no coordination and lives to spend hours doing yard work and is a bit of a perfectionist. Even down to one of them being right handed and one being left handed. Somehow having twins in the family makes twins like this way creepier to me
i had a friend back in highschool who was adamant that she go to a different school from her twin. its actually hilarious when people find out she's a twin
Super late to the party, but I wonder if some twins act like this because they were raised as "twins" instead of "two children who happen to be twins". Like the parents who give their kids alliteration names, dress them up the same, and make their entire identity about being a twin.
i had a stepsister around the same age, 6 months or so older. our parents tried to hard to make us “twin-like” and i remember just starting to fully reject every aspect of it. there are other reasons that i have, of course. but to be made into a morph of another person??? that you’re already not even related to by anything other than some arbitrary clause/law around marriage & the “relationships” that come with that??? please.
i know people like this, they’re both 13 and share EVERYTHING. they aren’t allowed to have different outfits (one has to be purple one blue) , even their glasses are the same.
I saw a video about a set of identical twins that were so into the whole twin thing that they literally would only eat the exact same amount because they couldn't handle weighing different amounts, even just by a lb. They'd fight over food, too. It really was strange
yeah right? I thought someone would mention this but no has... like technically by law marrying someone makes your family and their family connected into a bigger family? meaning they both got married to their brother-in-law...
@@colleencrews9739 No it isn't, incest laws only ban blood relationships from marrying or reproducing. The law and most reasonable people are concerned with those whose offspring would be affected by having parents of genetic closeness. Two people related by marriage did not grow up together, do not share DNA, and are legally allowed to wed.
@@shelbyb9965 True not legally incest, but morally is a different story. You better believe the kids will hear nothing but those nicknames until they move out of that town
bro even as a fraternal twin my mom would dress me and my sister the same and I would always hate it. I cant imagine what these kids are gonna go through
As an identical twin I am so glad you made this video (and also don't mind the roasting). My sister and I kinda always hated "twin culture" and when people would get us mixed up or tell us we looked the same growing up, and we do get along, but as we got older we made sure to do everything possible to dress/style ourselves differently and went to completely different colleges.
Yeah, it’s super weird. I know exactly what you mean. Being so obsessed with your twin that it becomes your entire identity, and you lose out on having an actual personality
Honestly, from a biological/ genetics standpoint this is super fascinating, Having two people be geneological cousins, but genetic siblings. Still a very weird situation, but also interesting.
Doc is talking out of his ass because he's been put on the spot. The baby's aren't gonna come out as identical twins, just from different mothers. The law of independent assortment still applies. Genes get shuffled aroud during the process of meiosis. The kids are still going to be genetically distinct from one another. Even identical twins don't have 100% identical genomes. Once the zygote divides into two embryos, gene expression and regulation diverges as epigenetic factors come into play.
I have identical twin girls, and their personalities are so absolutely opposite of each other, but like similar things and I often get them the same or similar things not to make them the same, but TO KEEP THE PEACE 😩 I try to help them be different and their own unique self because these type of twins scare the shit out of me. I do not want my children to be like this, I want a healthy relationship between them with space and boundaries.
I’m glad I’m different from my identical twin. He’s got long hair and dresses really weird so he always just looks like the homeless version of me. It’s fantastic
reminds me of a few documentaries of twins who were actually miserable because of being twins, theres one about two twins with EDs who hate each other but are incredibly codependent on one another so can't live apart. There's also the silent twins who had a bad speech impediment and we're the only black kids in their school, so they stopped talking to other people and only talked to each other in their own "language" except it wasn't it was just English with an accent and a bad lisp spoken quickly. They loved and hated each other because they were the only person each other had for company but they were locking themselves further into a twin identity and they wanted to be separated but we're unable to function apart as kids, wouldn't eat, we're catatonic, etc. But they commited arson as teens and because they were odd, black and mentally ill they were sent to Broadmoor, the most highly secure unit for the criminally ill, even though their arsons were not on buildings with people inside (not to excuse it ofc but they spent like 12 years there compared to a typical prison sentence for the same crime), they were painfully sad and lonely and got into a bad crowd as soon as they were teens. They said that they'd agreed one of them would have to die before theyd be able to comfortably live separate lives, and then one just died on the way to a lower security location, really young too, and no one could explain why her heart just gave out, other than maybe the strong medication they had her on, but the other twin was on the same meds and had no issues so it caught them off guard. I'm sure it's easily explained medically, but the surviving twin went on to be released and live a fairly normal life after the fact. I can tell with the tlc stuff with these twins they're just telling them to speak together and they don't normally do that. Other famous cases of twins who speak together tend to have one leading and the other essentially echoing or attempting to predict what the other is saying and keep up, but thats clearly because they're in a very codependent attachment with each other. With these twins it's so obviously staged for tlc. I do feel really bad for the kids though and really hope they aren't actually living together. I can imagine the mothers trying to make sure they're induced on the same day, or one trying to hold off giving birth while the other frantically tries to go into labour early.
I'm a twin as well, except I'm a guy and I have a sister. You have no idea how many people still ask "oh are you guys identical" even after finding out we aren't the same gender
Identical twins that are "too identical" weird me out as it is- but this? This is beyond creepy. They're all so codependent on one another & it's incredibly unhealthy.
Fr, like it reminds me of that case of those two twin girls who had their own secret language and that’s the only thing they spoke and eventually when one died, the other killed themselves
I’m a father to identical twin boys, they’re only two years old now, but it warms my heart to know that I’ll one day show them this video to stoke the fires of hatred towards the inferior fraternals.
I knew a pair of identical twins in kindergarten, and I was friends with one of them. They wore different clothes, and liked different things, but at a glance you couldn’t really tell them apart. I didn’t even know my friend had a twin till we went to a little school fair thing, and they were with their dad. I ended up grabbing the wrong twin and dragging him all over the fair. He didn’t even tell me until like halfway through the day.
I give you mad kudos for ending this with telling people not to go & cause negativity with these or any other twins social media. Most RU-vidrs would never even think about that, let alone say it, so 👏👏👏
The twins that base their personalities around being a twin and orbiting each other makes me sad because what is one going to do if something happens to the other and they pass
UPDATE: they both had boys, privacy is getting uncomfortably hard for them, the dads feel very connected to their respective sons, and also they share a bank account for some reason.
It's gonna be real interesting in the coming decades when they inevitably do an AMA or something about how weird it all was growing up, or conversely how weird it was moving out and separating after thinking that was ordinary.
ever since i’ve started watching your videos and saw a comment that said you sound like you’re nervous to talk to us? i can’t unsee/hear it, you really do feel like you’re scared to chat and it’s so real because me too
The moment the dude said: "biologically, they're both going to be siblings" already had me in absolute despair. I want to go back 5 minutes ago when I didn't know this was a thing
My mom is an identical twin and because of it I technically (genetically) have no first cousins. I have siblings, half siblings, one and a half cousins and second cousins.
I feel like if one of their kids ended up identifying as lgbtq+ then the parents would freak out because the kid is ruining their fantasy or something.
I feel like if one is born male and the other born female, that by itself is going to have the parents (at least the moms) pretty upset. These poor kids will be scrutinized for any personal differences unless the media is portraying the moms to be crazier than they are.
@@nietzscha5056 I heard that one of the kids is male but I'm not sure about the other but I think for the sake of them having a decent I hope the other one is also male
Right! This is like a weird horror movie, directing their life before they're even born. And when they become tweens (😏) and is starting to want to express themselves, colour their hair and maybe gets a new or another bestie..we should check up on these kids in a couple of years.
I grew up with a pair of fraternal siblings. Sibling number 1 was so freaking sweet and genuinely a lovely person but I absolutely dislike the other twin now (we used to be friends) . The problem arose when sibling number 2 became sooo clingy to sibling number one- like constantly physically touching and would throw a tantrum if they weren’t together. I relate to this video so much
I just found your channel yesterday from your Ghost Kitchen video coming into my suggested. SO happy it did! I love your stuff, been binging your videos haha.
I'm most distressed about the fact that they said it was their dream to marry another set of twins. It really seems like you're forcing a pretty specific and unusual relationship dynamic by making that arbitrary trait the most important criteria. What if one couple doesn't get along as well as the other couple? If they break up will they all break up? More likely, will they all stay together even if some of them are unhappy just to avoid ruining their sibling's relationship? I'm seriously concerned that one of these people is eventually gonna find this whole atmosphere too stifling and end up having an affair or leaving or something.
My question is also who first asked out who? "We always wanted to have identical twin boyfriends/girlfriends. Let's make this dream a reality" and then not get ridiculed and rejected 😮
update on the pregnancies : Brittany had a baby girl and Briana is still waiting on to give birth. At least their kids will have separate birthdays lol Edit: I was mistaken she gave birth to a baby boy. Also apparently they have both suffered from miscarriages in the past so everybody getting snarky in the comments let them be happy
@ludicmars Oh I can imagine it. I can clearly imagine both of them saying "Oh darn it, we wanted a shared birthday!" in perfect unison. Do I like that I can imagine this? No. No, I do not.
My ballet teacher growing up was an identical twin who met her future husband (an identical twin himself) at her sister/his brother’s wedding. She and her sister both had daughters within a year of each other and the daughters were almost 100% identical. It was tweird for sure but there were no matching outfits involved at least, and both families had their own houses in separate towns lol
