Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, tell girls, picture this hypothetically. You're single and
into men. Oh, we are off to a rather interesting
start already. You're on this date with a guy and
he's tall too, maybe around your height, maybe he's a
lot taller than you. Honestly, let your imagination run wild.
And for context, this is a first date too. It's
going great. You're getting to know each other, cracking jokes,
(00:22):
getting flirtatious or whatever. Y'all are just talking and he
whips out the You and me would totally have d
one kids. And literally, this man didn't even ask you
if you wanted kids. Anyways, back to the story, you
cringe and you're like, oh ha ha, yeah, or maybe
you're into it. Who knows. This is a weird story,
but you never know. Maybe this did happen to somebody,
(00:42):
And if this happened to you, make sure you let
me know in the comments. Anyways, I was trying to
use this story as a way to warm you up
to the topic of today's episode, which is talking about
the whole d one kids, having d one kids, having
d one babies comment that many tall women often get
and ultimately how some tall women don't even want to
have kids. Especially specifically tall daughters. So let's get into it.
(01:09):
Good morning, everybody. You are currently listening to a Tall
Girls podcast hosted by a tall girl named India. I
hope everyone who's tuning in today is doing super fantastic.
Before I get into this episode, I do want to say,
make sure you're follow me on my socials at a
Tall Girls podcast, on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest, so that
you could stay up to date on all of the
latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my every
(01:30):
day life. Also, feel free to leave my review and
let me know how tall you are. I'm genuinely curious. Also,
I have a monthly newsletter, make sure you subscribe to that.
Everything is going to be linked in the description. I
hope y'all are doing fantabulous. As I actually mentioned in
my last podcast episode, I went to see Kesha last week.
What the short form blog of that is already out
(01:52):
on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, et cetera, so make sure you
go check that out. But honestly, it was such an
amazing and healing experience. Okay, not only basically, Kesha was
like one of the people who literally raised me like
got me through my childhood, So hearing all of the
childhood songs, hearing her new album too, I was blasting
the week of the concert, and ultimately just seeing her
(02:14):
at this part of her journey, because if you didn't know,
she was in like legal battles for years at this
point trying to basically get the rights to her own music,
and she finally got the rights to her music and
now she has her own record label. So seeing her
at this stage in her journey and she finally just
looks happy and she's like glowing and she's just like, yes,
(02:35):
I'm that girl, because she is that girl period. Just
seeing that was just amazing. And then just seeing the crowd, like,
you know, cheer for her. I think she got like
a four minute or like six minute standing ovation. Like
just seeing thatugh chef's kiss, top tier amazing experience. So
if you want to see how that went down, I
definitely recommend following me on my other socials or checking
(02:56):
out my YouTube shorts if you're looking at this on YouTube.
Now back to the episode. This comment is often thrown
around in the Tall Girl world, and that is something
along the lines of having d one kids or d
one babies. Essentially, is this idea that two tall people mate,
or someone mates with a tall girl or someone mates
with a tall guy to create tall children. And it's
(03:19):
often this stereotype that tall people are athletic or tall
people are supposed to be good at sports, and they
play college sports, they get full ride athletic scholarships to
schools and maybe even go pro and that is partially
thanks to their genetics. Essentially them being tall because their
parents or at least one of their parents are tall.
(03:39):
Let's hear a little bit more about this idea. Oh
and also just as a disclaimer, this next idea is
coming from a man, So just letting you know.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Women like, oh, we want tall men, we want tall women. Yeah,
it's I don't have money to pay for college. My
children need to be the vision on athletes. I was
gonna han filtering out all the heights. I was looking
for Amazonians. Bro, my first baby mama needs to look
like the rock. Yeah it's called investing. Ever heard of it? Four?
(04:09):
One K, Well, I have a sudden NBA two K
start taking distract LaVar ball, set the pressing.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I get it. I see the vision. Your girlfriend should
be still in your hoodies. I'd be still in my
girl's shoes. I was in the club wearing uggs. I
was like, y'all see it, y'all see me shining. I
look like lossy and a good bull of barters in them.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'd be a w NBA games with binoculars and wedding
rings recruiting. We're gonna figure it out. I need a
father filtermites. I don't know, like, start thinking about your bloodline. Okay,
I need some of these nil deals. I'm gonna figure
it out.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I be like, dang, you're six foot, we should make
some D one babies, so you're five to three. How
are we gonna do that?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's not how genetics works.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
But it's just not how it works.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I'm just not going to be the one doing all
the world. I just want to say early on that
a lot of the things that I'm going to say
in this episode are my own opinion. I'm a firm
believer of do what makes you happy. If you want
to have D one kids, go and have D one kids.
If you don't want to have D one kids, that's
also amazing. Whatever is meant for you on your journey
called life. You know, I'm pretty sure a lot of
(05:24):
tall women have heard this before or something like this, Oh,
I want to be with a tall girl so we
can have d one babies. And for some reason, to me,
this comment is just so odd. Have you heard that before?
I mean, yeah, I guess it's supposed to be a compliment, like, oh,
my gosh, your genetics are so fire, or I would
(05:44):
love for my kids to have some of your genetics.
You have the ideal height genetics, survival of the fittest. Oh,
you're so breedable. Oh I don't really like you as
a person, and I don't really care whether or not
you want to have kids. Let's just make some tall babies.
And that goes for both men and women. By the way,
I don't know, I don't understand the fascination with wanting
(06:07):
to mate with a tall person to make d one
kids or d one babies. Like I feel like people
hear the d one part but not the kids or
babies part. Like you know that this is a whole
human being that you actually have to care for, and
this human being may not even want to play sports.
I did ask you guys in a poll over on Instagram,
And by the way, I'm going to do a quick
little plug. Make sure you follow me at a Tall
Gross podcast on Instagram so you could participate in these
(06:29):
polls and have your opinion tear it on these episodes.
But I did ask you guys in a poll, tall girlies,
how do you feel when someone a dude tells you
they want D one kids? Two and five percent of
you said, eh, I feel indifferent, sixty nine percent said
low key, it's cringe like ill, and six percent said
it's cute slash flirtatious. Okay, indifferent, I guess because it's like, eh,
(06:53):
like whatever. You know, y'all are just saying stuff whatever. Hah.
The six percent who said it is cute and flirtious,
I don't know if I necessarily yeah, I don't. Yeah, no,
I don't think I really agree with you guys, But
you know what, everybody has their own opinions and so forth.
But I would love to hear the thought process behind it.
But I mean, then again, some of the tall girl
(07:13):
is also like saying that, like, oh yeah, like D
one kids, like you gotta be with the tall girls.
You got to doing kids da da da da da.
So some of y'all are all for that, comment. I
get it, but I'm kind of like the one that's
like low key, it's cringe and what if y'all did respond?
Y'all sent to me a DM and said, is laughing
and finding it hilarious an option? And honestly it is. Honestly,
(07:36):
sometimes I think that laughing when people say the weirdest,
cringiest things, that sometimes the proper response to that is
just laughing. Now is it like a hysterical laugh or
laugh like ha haa like joke? Like because I'm thinking, like
the hysterical, going crazy laugh, like what is wrong with you?
But hey, to each their own anyways, I couldn't really
(07:59):
find any social media, specifically TikTok commentary on this, like
people talking about you know, or are these tall women
talking about what they feel or what they think when
people have told them, yeah, like you can make d
one kids or let's have some d one kids or whatever.
I couldn't really find any commentary on social media, so
I went to Reddit. But it is always a good
(08:21):
place to go if you want to get people's real, true, raw,
authentic thoughts, and yes, that goes for tall girls too,
But I don't know, maybe this is a sign to
get some of this type of commentary on TikTok too.
Maybe I'll do it, you know before that app potentially
leaves the US. But whatever, that's a whole separate story
for a separate day. Let's get into these reddit comments. Okay,
(08:42):
and this is going to be from a tall women's perspective.
By the way, I came across a thread titled being
weirded out by potential boyfriends obsessing over my height, and
essentially in this reddit post, they were kind of going
into how you know their potential boyfriends or I guess
potential matrix spousers or whatever. We're talking about having d
one kids because of her height. One comment said that
(09:03):
it's weird as hell. I mean, compliments are okay, but
if you're weirded out by them, they probably are behaving weird.
The child thing, yeah, just walk away. There's no coming
back from that. There was a response under that that
says it isn't even talking about children, as that implies
an actual discussion between two parties. It's a guy thinking
(09:24):
out loud about the offspring. You can provide him. Another
comment said, while I think it is weird, I think
men pull the kids. Comment to try to reel you in,
although it's doing the exact opposite. Yeah, it is definitely
doing the exact opposite. I'm only five eight and I've
had a handful of guys say they want d one
babies and I'd be perfect weird af And just the
(09:46):
last comment, five eleven women here. I've had this happen
to me so many times. It's off putting. I've had
a guy tell me my broad shoulders and long legs
will make very healthy, athletic children, like a piece of meat.
You can almost see their wheels turning. It's like, conceptually
they want to be okay with your height, but they
(10:08):
just can't, and somehow we have to bear the emotional burden.
I hate it so much. And honestly, that last comment
is really interesting. It's almost kind of justifying why they
would be with the tall women, Like maybe they're just
not attracted to tall women or have told other people
or even told themselves, Hey, I don't want to be
with a tall woman. I don't like tall women. But
(10:29):
I can justify being with her. I can accept being
with her. It'll be acceptable to be with her to
other people. If it's like, oh, we're gonna have tall
kids and we're gonna have d one babies. This is
just so weird to me. I'm sorry, Like I don't know,
Like what do you expect when you say that to us? Like,
(10:50):
oh my god, Like yes, like, let's make some tall kids,
like right now, Like I don't know who you are,
like what your credit score is, Like I don't know
what your history is. I don't even know if you're
employed or not. You don't even know my last name.
But let's make some tall children. Like, I don't know,
is that all we think about when it comes to
(11:11):
like finding a partner or something having to all children?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Like Okay, I guess it could be part of it,
Like there are probably certain types of genetics you would
want your kids to have, But I don't know. I
feel like there would be more to forming a relationship
with someone than just you know how your child is
gonna come out, if it even gets to that point. Anyways,
from Reddit, it really just seems like the tall girlies
are put off by these comments. Contrary to popular beliefs,
(11:40):
some tall girlies don't want d one kids. Isn't that crazy?
Well to me, it's not. But we're gonna get into
why tall women don't want tall daughters, well some of them.
This is actually something that I'm hearing from one of
you guys, And the reasoning behind that is because the
tall women don't want their tall daughters going through the
same things they went through growing up. A tall girly
(12:01):
actually messaged me and inspire the topic of this episode.
She said she spoke to a few other tall girls
who spoke about refraining from having children so that those
children wouldn't have to go through what many of us
have gone through growing up tall. And there's one girl
who is specifically looking for a shorter guy so her
children wouldn't be as tall. And it's interesting to see
(12:22):
two sides that, you know, we kind of discussed in
this episode that some of the tall girlies are looking
for other tallies to have tall kids with, and then
you have the tall girlies looking for shorties short her
men to have children with, so their daughter's potential daughters
wouldn't be as tall or their potential kids wouldn't be
(12:43):
as tall. Honestly, I would love to hear your thoughts
on that, but I kind of understand it because a
lot of people, just like in general, tend to refrain
from having kids, so they wouldn't have to deal with
the harsh realities of the world. They wouldn't have to
deal with how messed up the world is. So I
guess this is kind of similar to that, and that
they don't want their tall daughters to kind of experience
(13:05):
the harsh realities or the harshness of growing up as
a tall girl and go through those struggles of bullying
and the trauma and the self esteem and confidence issues
and so forth, So to kind of save their kids
from that potential pain and dealing with that and even
blaming the parents for making them tall and making them
the way that they are for them to go through
(13:26):
all of that, So to save them from all that
pain and struggle and so forth, they're just like, might
as well not have any kids or have any daughters
at all. And there are some tall moms out there
who kind of understand this concept or this idea. Let's
hear from one of them.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I'm six foot tall, and I know there's a lot
of women that are way taller than me, but damn,
is it man? It is? I remember asking my mom
one day, I was like, Mom, not even a girl.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Did y'all just decide that I'm a girl.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
She's like, chill, you are a girl. But seeing as
my fiance and I are wanting for another kid in
his family genes, it's possibly going to be a girl
next So you know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I honestly would hate for her to have the same that.
You know we went through, but we made it through,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean, Like we're good.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I love being to Amazon. I didn't realize that untill,
you know, in my twenties. People still ask if I'm
a model. No, they don't. But you know, if it's
gonna be a girl, and it's gonna be a through,
and she's gonna be like six', five and that's, okay
we'll get her into. Volleyball and this kind.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Of goes to show how maybe having a tall daughter
can kind of affect the relationship between the mom and the,
daughter or affect their relationship, dynamic because the tall daughter
may grow up asking her mom, like oh my, gosh
why did you make me this? Way why did you
have to make me? Tall Now i'm going through all
of these things AND i didn't even ask for these.
(14:44):
GENETICS i didn't even ask to be. Here but then
there's also like this flip side where it's kind of
like the tall mom may be projecting the perspectives onto
her tall daughter that being a tall woman is bad
or being a tall woman is. Annoying there's just so
many struggles with. That and if the tall mom is
showing the tall daughter like, that the daughter may be, like,
bro like why did you make me? Tall, then, like
(15:07):
why did you make me in the first? Place if
you knew that it was going to be this bad
AND i didn't even ask for. It and, honestly it
can make the tall daughter insecure or have low self
esteem or have low. Confidence but then it also may
cause potentially the tall daughter to resent the tall. Mom
and this was honestly a comment that was made in
A reddit thread. Somewhere it was something along the lines
(15:29):
of being a tall girl is already hard. Enough tall
daughters don't need their tall moms adding to, that adding
to the complexities that she would have to navigate being
a tall girl and trying to embrace her height and
love her height and love herself and so, forth and
just be comfortable in her. Body and it's kind of,
like if you know that that's your. Perspective if you
(15:50):
know that that's your, mindset then you probably shouldn't have,
kids or you shouldn't at least have. Daughters but you
can't really control, that so maybe just refrained from having.
Kids but, OVERALL i think that it's kind of. Mixed
there are some who absolutely love the idea of having
a tall, daughter and there are some who don't really
want their daughters to be. Tall let's hear from two different,
perspectives a mom who's proud to have a tall daughter
(16:12):
and a tall daughter whose mom didn't want her daughter
or her herself to be tall or as tall.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Tall, girls what's the best thing about being? Tall my
daughter is measuring in the ninety second percentile in. Height
she's a baby, still But i'm very excited that she's
going to be. Tall i'm only five to. Four my
husband is like six foot, something so she is likely
to fall between our heights And i'm hoping it's going
to be like five nine around. THERE i only know, tall,
(16:42):
confident beautiful.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Women my, mom she took me to this doctor that
had some kind of. Machine it was like a machine
where you stick your feet in or it scans your
body and supposed to tell you how tall you're going
to be when you stop, growing and that machine SAID
i was going to be like six foot and so
my mom almost and.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
She was, super super.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Sad she was, like, OH i don't want my daughters
to be too, tall and so she.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Would always put it in my.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Head she was always making me worried THAT i was
going to grow and be too, tall as if that's
such a. Thing she would always make me carry all
my textbooks in a big, backpack like a heavy, backpack
so that it would stop my, growth and she'd.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Make me like walk to. SCHOOL i did ask you
guys in another poll On, instagram assuming that you want,
kids because you, know we got to be respectful that
some people don't want it and some people. Do assuming
you want, kids as a tall, girly how would you
feel about having a tall? Daughter sixty one percent, said,
HONESTLY i think that would be. Amazing seventeen percent said
it would definitely come with unique, struggles BUT i would.
(17:40):
Manage six percent SAID i don't think i'd be up for,
that and sixteen percent said. Indifferent and, Honestly i'm indifferent,
Too like IF i have a, daughter IF i have a,
son and IF i have a tall, daughter short, daughter tall,
son short, son like whatever is meant for me will
find me and be brought to. Me i'm the firm
believer of, That SO i personally, indifferent BUT i think
(18:02):
it is cool that a lot of the tall girly
stuff that it would be. AMAZING i, MEAN i guess
it would be amazing and amazing experience a to you,
KNOW i guess to raise a. CHILD i don't. Know
i'm like twenty, three so thinking about that as a
twenty three year, Old i'm, LIKE i couldn't possibly imagine
myself doing that right, now but maybe later in. Life
but they're probably, thinking, oh like it would be amazing
(18:24):
to have a, child and then having like a tall, daughter,
like oh my, GOSH i know all the stuff for
the tall, Girlies LIKE i know the tall girl, PROBLEMS
i know where to shop, everything and it's, like maybe
we could be partners in, crime you know WHAT i,
mean BECAUSE i mean living the experiences of a tall.
Girl if you love your height and love being tall
and just appreciate other tall women as, WELL i feel
(18:44):
like you would bless your tall daughter with that. KNOWLEDGE
i feel there's just as an Example. Jordan she is
the founder of The Elevated. Closet there was this one
video that went viral on TikTok for her BECAUSE i
think she washed like her daughter's, jeans but then she
was like stretching it out after she took it out the,
(19:06):
wash because you, know she knew like when she was,
younger and the jeans would, LIKE i, guess shrink from the,
wash like she knew what she had to do so
her tall daughter doesn't feel, like oh my, gosh like
these jeans are too short and da da da da.
Da SO i think seeing like things like, that it's like,
damn like we out here looking for each, other looking
out for each. Other we all here looking out well
not me, personally but y'all are out here looking out
(19:27):
for your tall, daughters you know WHAT i. Mean SO
i guess in that way it could be a very beautiful.
Experience but seeing that some people wouldn't also be up
for it kind of also goes hand in hand with
the point that was being made in this, episode, like,
yeah some tall women just don't want to put their
tall daughters through what they went. Through SO i find
(19:49):
these results very. Interesting let me know your thoughts in the. Comments,
honestly shout out to the tall moms who are setting
amazing examples for their tall children and helping their tall
daughters love and embrace their. Height everything they do for
their daughters to help minimize those tall girl, struggles y'all
honestly deserve more than a standing. Ovation but, honestly no
shame to the tall moms who have tall daughters and
(20:09):
the tall moms who don't want to have, kids or
no shame to anyone who wants to have. Kids no
shame to anyone who doesn't want to have, kids tall,
kids short, kids these, kids that. KIDS i don't even
know What i'm saying, Anymore but, honestly you should do
whatever works for you and your. Partner and if you
hear like the comments about, oh having d one kids
AND i want to have d one kids with you
and this and that and the, other please like run
(20:31):

when you don't know the, person, like, oh we could

is that a way of? Flirting why is using kids
in any sort of way a way of. Flirting that's
just so. Strange, like compliment my, height compliment. Me don't

into men. Oh, we are off to a rather interesting
start already. You're on this date with a guy and
he's tall too, maybe around your height, maybe he's a
lot taller than you. Honestly, let your imagination run wild.
And for context, this is a first date too. It's
going great. You're getting to know each other, cracking jokes,
(00:22):
getting flirtatious or whatever. Y'all are just talking and he
whips out the You and me would totally have d
one kids. And literally, this man didn't even ask you
if you wanted kids. Anyways, back to the story, you
cringe and you're like, oh ha ha, yeah, or maybe
you're into it. Who knows. This is a weird story,
but you never know. Maybe this did happen to somebody,
(00:42):
And if this happened to you, make sure you let
me know in the comments. Anyways, I was trying to
use this story as a way to warm you up
to the topic of today's episode, which is talking about
the whole d one kids, having d one kids, having
d one babies comment that many tall women often get
and ultimately how some tall women don't even want to
have kids. Especially specifically tall daughters. So let's get into it.
(01:09):
Good morning, everybody. You are currently listening to a Tall
Girls podcast hosted by a tall girl named India. I
hope everyone who's tuning in today is doing super fantastic.
Before I get into this episode, I do want to say,
make sure you're follow me on my socials at a
Tall Girls podcast, on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest, so that
you could stay up to date on all of the
latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my every
(01:30):
day life. Also, feel free to leave my review and
let me know how tall you are. I'm genuinely curious. Also,
I have a monthly newsletter, make sure you subscribe to that.
Everything is going to be linked in the description. I
hope y'all are doing fantabulous. As I actually mentioned in
my last podcast episode, I went to see Kesha last week.
What the short form blog of that is already out
(01:52):
on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, et cetera, so make sure you
go check that out. But honestly, it was such an
amazing and healing experience. Okay, not only basically, Kesha was
like one of the people who literally raised me like
got me through my childhood, So hearing all of the
childhood songs, hearing her new album too, I was blasting
the week of the concert, and ultimately just seeing her
(02:14):
at this part of her journey, because if you didn't know,
she was in like legal battles for years at this
point trying to basically get the rights to her own music,
and she finally got the rights to her music and
now she has her own record label. So seeing her
at this stage in her journey and she finally just
looks happy and she's like glowing and she's just like, yes,
(02:35):
I'm that girl, because she is that girl period. Just
seeing that was just amazing. And then just seeing the crowd, like,
you know, cheer for her. I think she got like
a four minute or like six minute standing ovation. Like
just seeing thatugh chef's kiss, top tier amazing experience. So
if you want to see how that went down, I
definitely recommend following me on my other socials or checking
(02:56):
out my YouTube shorts if you're looking at this on YouTube.
Now back to the episode. This comment is often thrown
around in the Tall Girl world, and that is something
along the lines of having d one kids or d
one babies. Essentially, is this idea that two tall people mate,
or someone mates with a tall girl or someone mates
with a tall guy to create tall children. And it's
(03:19):
often this stereotype that tall people are athletic or tall
people are supposed to be good at sports, and they
play college sports, they get full ride athletic scholarships to
schools and maybe even go pro and that is partially
thanks to their genetics. Essentially them being tall because their
parents or at least one of their parents are tall.
(03:39):
Let's hear a little bit more about this idea. Oh
and also just as a disclaimer, this next idea is
coming from a man, So just letting you know.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Women like, oh, we want tall men, we want tall women. Yeah,
it's I don't have money to pay for college. My
children need to be the vision on athletes. I was
gonna han filtering out all the heights. I was looking
for Amazonians. Bro, my first baby mama needs to look
like the rock. Yeah it's called investing. Ever heard of it? Four?
(04:09):
One K, Well, I have a sudden NBA two K
start taking distract LaVar ball, set the pressing.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I get it. I see the vision. Your girlfriend should
be still in your hoodies. I'd be still in my
girl's shoes. I was in the club wearing uggs. I
was like, y'all see it, y'all see me shining. I
look like lossy and a good bull of barters in them.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'd be a w NBA games with binoculars and wedding
rings recruiting. We're gonna figure it out. I need a
father filtermites. I don't know, like, start thinking about your bloodline. Okay,
I need some of these nil deals. I'm gonna figure
it out.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I be like, dang, you're six foot, we should make
some D one babies, so you're five to three. How
are we gonna do that?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's not how genetics works.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
But it's just not how it works.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I'm just not going to be the one doing all
the world. I just want to say early on that
a lot of the things that I'm going to say
in this episode are my own opinion. I'm a firm
believer of do what makes you happy. If you want
to have D one kids, go and have D one kids.
If you don't want to have D one kids, that's
also amazing. Whatever is meant for you on your journey
called life. You know, I'm pretty sure a lot of
(05:24):
tall women have heard this before or something like this, Oh,
I want to be with a tall girl so we
can have d one babies. And for some reason, to me,
this comment is just so odd. Have you heard that before?
I mean, yeah, I guess it's supposed to be a compliment, like, oh,
my gosh, your genetics are so fire, or I would
(05:44):
love for my kids to have some of your genetics.
You have the ideal height genetics, survival of the fittest. Oh,
you're so breedable. Oh I don't really like you as
a person, and I don't really care whether or not
you want to have kids. Let's just make some tall babies.
And that goes for both men and women. By the way,
I don't know, I don't understand the fascination with wanting
(06:07):
to mate with a tall person to make d one
kids or d one babies. Like I feel like people
hear the d one part but not the kids or
babies part. Like you know that this is a whole
human being that you actually have to care for, and
this human being may not even want to play sports.
I did ask you guys in a poll over on Instagram,
And by the way, I'm going to do a quick
little plug. Make sure you follow me at a Tall
Gross podcast on Instagram so you could participate in these
(06:29):
polls and have your opinion tear it on these episodes.
But I did ask you guys in a poll, tall girlies,
how do you feel when someone a dude tells you
they want D one kids? Two and five percent of
you said, eh, I feel indifferent, sixty nine percent said
low key, it's cringe like ill, and six percent said
it's cute slash flirtatious. Okay, indifferent, I guess because it's like, eh,
(06:53):
like whatever. You know, y'all are just saying stuff whatever. Hah.
The six percent who said it is cute and flirtious,
I don't know if I necessarily yeah, I don't. Yeah, no,
I don't think I really agree with you guys, But
you know what, everybody has their own opinions and so forth.
But I would love to hear the thought process behind it.
But I mean, then again, some of the tall girl
(07:13):
is also like saying that, like, oh yeah, like D
one kids, like you gotta be with the tall girls.
You got to doing kids da da da da da.
So some of y'all are all for that, comment. I
get it, but I'm kind of like the one that's
like low key, it's cringe and what if y'all did respond?
Y'all sent to me a DM and said, is laughing
and finding it hilarious an option? And honestly it is. Honestly,
(07:36):
sometimes I think that laughing when people say the weirdest,
cringiest things, that sometimes the proper response to that is
just laughing. Now is it like a hysterical laugh or
laugh like ha haa like joke? Like because I'm thinking, like
the hysterical, going crazy laugh, like what is wrong with you?
But hey, to each their own anyways, I couldn't really
(07:59):
find any social media, specifically TikTok commentary on this, like
people talking about you know, or are these tall women
talking about what they feel or what they think when
people have told them, yeah, like you can make d
one kids or let's have some d one kids or whatever.
I couldn't really find any commentary on social media, so
I went to Reddit. But it is always a good
(08:21):
place to go if you want to get people's real, true, raw,
authentic thoughts, and yes, that goes for tall girls too,
But I don't know, maybe this is a sign to
get some of this type of commentary on TikTok too.
Maybe I'll do it, you know before that app potentially
leaves the US. But whatever, that's a whole separate story
for a separate day. Let's get into these reddit comments. Okay,
(08:42):
and this is going to be from a tall women's perspective.
By the way, I came across a thread titled being
weirded out by potential boyfriends obsessing over my height, and
essentially in this reddit post, they were kind of going
into how you know their potential boyfriends or I guess
potential matrix spousers or whatever. We're talking about having d
one kids because of her height. One comment said that
(09:03):
it's weird as hell. I mean, compliments are okay, but
if you're weirded out by them, they probably are behaving weird.
The child thing, yeah, just walk away. There's no coming
back from that. There was a response under that that
says it isn't even talking about children, as that implies
an actual discussion between two parties. It's a guy thinking
(09:24):
out loud about the offspring. You can provide him. Another
comment said, while I think it is weird, I think
men pull the kids. Comment to try to reel you in,
although it's doing the exact opposite. Yeah, it is definitely
doing the exact opposite. I'm only five eight and I've
had a handful of guys say they want d one
babies and I'd be perfect weird af And just the
(09:46):
last comment, five eleven women here. I've had this happen
to me so many times. It's off putting. I've had
a guy tell me my broad shoulders and long legs
will make very healthy, athletic children, like a piece of meat.
You can almost see their wheels turning. It's like, conceptually
they want to be okay with your height, but they
(10:08):
just can't, and somehow we have to bear the emotional burden.
I hate it so much. And honestly, that last comment
is really interesting. It's almost kind of justifying why they
would be with the tall women, Like maybe they're just
not attracted to tall women or have told other people
or even told themselves, Hey, I don't want to be
with a tall woman. I don't like tall women. But
(10:29):
I can justify being with her. I can accept being
with her. It'll be acceptable to be with her to
other people. If it's like, oh, we're gonna have tall
kids and we're gonna have d one babies. This is
just so weird to me. I'm sorry, Like I don't know,
Like what do you expect when you say that to us? Like,
(10:50):
oh my god, Like yes, like, let's make some tall kids,
like right now, Like I don't know who you are,
like what your credit score is, Like I don't know
what your history is. I don't even know if you're
employed or not. You don't even know my last name.
But let's make some tall children. Like, I don't know,
is that all we think about when it comes to
(11:11):
like finding a partner or something having to all children?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Like Okay, I guess it could be part of it,
Like there are probably certain types of genetics you would
want your kids to have, But I don't know. I
feel like there would be more to forming a relationship
with someone than just you know how your child is
gonna come out, if it even gets to that point. Anyways,
from Reddit, it really just seems like the tall girlies
are put off by these comments. Contrary to popular beliefs,
(11:40):
some tall girlies don't want d one kids. Isn't that crazy?
Well to me, it's not. But we're gonna get into
why tall women don't want tall daughters, well some of them.
This is actually something that I'm hearing from one of
you guys, And the reasoning behind that is because the
tall women don't want their tall daughters going through the
same things they went through growing up. A tall girly
(12:01):
actually messaged me and inspire the topic of this episode.
She said she spoke to a few other tall girls
who spoke about refraining from having children so that those
children wouldn't have to go through what many of us
have gone through growing up tall. And there's one girl
who is specifically looking for a shorter guy so her
children wouldn't be as tall. And it's interesting to see
(12:22):
two sides that, you know, we kind of discussed in
this episode that some of the tall girlies are looking
for other tallies to have tall kids with, and then
you have the tall girlies looking for shorties short her
men to have children with, so their daughter's potential daughters
wouldn't be as tall or their potential kids wouldn't be
(12:43):
as tall. Honestly, I would love to hear your thoughts
on that, but I kind of understand it because a
lot of people, just like in general, tend to refrain
from having kids, so they wouldn't have to deal with
the harsh realities of the world. They wouldn't have to
deal with how messed up the world is. So I
guess this is kind of similar to that, and that
they don't want their tall daughters to kind of experience
(13:05):
the harsh realities or the harshness of growing up as
a tall girl and go through those struggles of bullying
and the trauma and the self esteem and confidence issues
and so forth, So to kind of save their kids
from that potential pain and dealing with that and even
blaming the parents for making them tall and making them
the way that they are for them to go through
(13:26):
all of that, So to save them from all that
pain and struggle and so forth, they're just like, might
as well not have any kids or have any daughters
at all. And there are some tall moms out there
who kind of understand this concept or this idea. Let's
hear from one of them.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I'm six foot tall, and I know there's a lot
of women that are way taller than me, but damn,
is it man? It is? I remember asking my mom
one day, I was like, Mom, not even a girl.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Did y'all just decide that I'm a girl.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
She's like, chill, you are a girl. But seeing as
my fiance and I are wanting for another kid in
his family genes, it's possibly going to be a girl
next So you know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I honestly would hate for her to have the same that.
You know we went through, but we made it through,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean, Like we're good.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I love being to Amazon. I didn't realize that untill,
you know, in my twenties. People still ask if I'm
a model. No, they don't. But you know, if it's
gonna be a girl, and it's gonna be a through,
and she's gonna be like six', five and that's, okay
we'll get her into. Volleyball and this kind.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Of goes to show how maybe having a tall daughter
can kind of affect the relationship between the mom and the,
daughter or affect their relationship, dynamic because the tall daughter
may grow up asking her mom, like oh my, gosh
why did you make me this? Way why did you
have to make me? Tall Now i'm going through all
of these things AND i didn't even ask for these.
(14:44):
GENETICS i didn't even ask to be. Here but then
there's also like this flip side where it's kind of
like the tall mom may be projecting the perspectives onto
her tall daughter that being a tall woman is bad
or being a tall woman is. Annoying there's just so
many struggles with. That and if the tall mom is
showing the tall daughter like, that the daughter may be, like,
bro like why did you make me? Tall, then, like
(15:07):
why did you make me in the first? Place if
you knew that it was going to be this bad
AND i didn't even ask for. It and, honestly it
can make the tall daughter insecure or have low self
esteem or have low. Confidence but then it also may
cause potentially the tall daughter to resent the tall. Mom
and this was honestly a comment that was made in
A reddit thread. Somewhere it was something along the lines
(15:29):
of being a tall girl is already hard. Enough tall
daughters don't need their tall moms adding to, that adding
to the complexities that she would have to navigate being
a tall girl and trying to embrace her height and
love her height and love herself and so, forth and
just be comfortable in her. Body and it's kind of,
like if you know that that's your. Perspective if you
(15:50):
know that that's your, mindset then you probably shouldn't have,
kids or you shouldn't at least have. Daughters but you
can't really control, that so maybe just refrained from having.
Kids but, OVERALL i think that it's kind of. Mixed
there are some who absolutely love the idea of having
a tall, daughter and there are some who don't really
want their daughters to be. Tall let's hear from two different,
perspectives a mom who's proud to have a tall daughter
(16:12):
and a tall daughter whose mom didn't want her daughter
or her herself to be tall or as tall.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Tall, girls what's the best thing about being? Tall my
daughter is measuring in the ninety second percentile in. Height
she's a baby, still But i'm very excited that she's
going to be. Tall i'm only five to. Four my
husband is like six foot, something so she is likely
to fall between our heights And i'm hoping it's going
to be like five nine around. THERE i only know, tall,
(16:42):
confident beautiful.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Women my, mom she took me to this doctor that
had some kind of. Machine it was like a machine
where you stick your feet in or it scans your
body and supposed to tell you how tall you're going
to be when you stop, growing and that machine SAID
i was going to be like six foot and so
my mom almost and.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
She was, super super.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Sad she was, like, OH i don't want my daughters
to be too, tall and so she.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Would always put it in my.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Head she was always making me worried THAT i was
going to grow and be too, tall as if that's
such a. Thing she would always make me carry all
my textbooks in a big, backpack like a heavy, backpack
so that it would stop my, growth and she'd.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Make me like walk to. SCHOOL i did ask you
guys in another poll On, instagram assuming that you want,
kids because you, know we got to be respectful that
some people don't want it and some people. Do assuming
you want, kids as a tall, girly how would you
feel about having a tall? Daughter sixty one percent, said,
HONESTLY i think that would be. Amazing seventeen percent said
it would definitely come with unique, struggles BUT i would.
(17:40):
Manage six percent SAID i don't think i'd be up for,
that and sixteen percent said. Indifferent and, Honestly i'm indifferent,
Too like IF i have a, daughter IF i have a,
son and IF i have a tall, daughter short, daughter tall,
son short, son like whatever is meant for me will
find me and be brought to. Me i'm the firm
believer of, That SO i personally, indifferent BUT i think
(18:02):
it is cool that a lot of the tall girly
stuff that it would be. AMAZING i, MEAN i guess
it would be amazing and amazing experience a to you,
KNOW i guess to raise a. CHILD i don't. Know
i'm like twenty, three so thinking about that as a
twenty three year, Old i'm, LIKE i couldn't possibly imagine
myself doing that right, now but maybe later in. Life
but they're probably, thinking, oh like it would be amazing
(18:24):
to have a, child and then having like a tall, daughter,
like oh my, GOSH i know all the stuff for
the tall, Girlies LIKE i know the tall girl, PROBLEMS
i know where to shop, everything and it's, like maybe
we could be partners in, crime you know WHAT i,
mean BECAUSE i mean living the experiences of a tall.
Girl if you love your height and love being tall
and just appreciate other tall women as, WELL i feel
(18:44):
like you would bless your tall daughter with that. KNOWLEDGE
i feel there's just as an Example. Jordan she is
the founder of The Elevated. Closet there was this one
video that went viral on TikTok for her BECAUSE i
think she washed like her daughter's, jeans but then she
was like stretching it out after she took it out the,
(19:06):
wash because you, know she knew like when she was,
younger and the jeans would, LIKE i, guess shrink from the,
wash like she knew what she had to do so
her tall daughter doesn't feel, like oh my, gosh like
these jeans are too short and da da da da.
Da SO i think seeing like things like, that it's like,
damn like we out here looking for each, other looking
out for each. Other we all here looking out well
not me, personally but y'all are out here looking out
(19:27):
for your tall, daughters you know WHAT i. Mean SO
i guess in that way it could be a very beautiful.
Experience but seeing that some people wouldn't also be up
for it kind of also goes hand in hand with
the point that was being made in this, episode, like,
yeah some tall women just don't want to put their
tall daughters through what they went. Through SO i find
(19:49):
these results very. Interesting let me know your thoughts in the. Comments,
honestly shout out to the tall moms who are setting
amazing examples for their tall children and helping their tall
daughters love and embrace their. Height everything they do for
their daughters to help minimize those tall girl, struggles y'all
honestly deserve more than a standing. Ovation but, honestly no
shame to the tall moms who have tall daughters and
(20:09):
the tall moms who don't want to have, kids or
no shame to anyone who wants to have. Kids no
shame to anyone who doesn't want to have, kids tall,
kids short, kids these, kids that. KIDS i don't even
know What i'm saying, Anymore but, honestly you should do
whatever works for you and your. Partner and if you
hear like the comments about, oh having d one kids
AND i want to have d one kids with you
and this and that and the, other please like run
(20:31):

is that a way of? Flirting why is using kids
in any sort of way a way of. Flirting that's
just so. Strange, like compliment my, height compliment. Me don't
