Tall Girls DON’T WANT D1 Babies | Why Tall Women Don't Want Tall Daughters

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, 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, 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. 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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. 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. 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? One K, Well, I have a sudden NBA two K start taking distract LaVar ball, set the pressing. 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. 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. 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? That's not how genetics works. But it's just not how it works. 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 like finding a partner or something having to all children? What? 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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. Did y'all just decide that I'm a girl. 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. I don't know. I honestly would hate for her to have the same that. You know we went through, but we made it through, you know what. I mean, Like we're good. 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. 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. 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 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 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 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 and a tall daughter whose mom didn't want her daughter or her herself to be tall or as tall. 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, confident beautiful. 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. She was, super super. Sad she was, like, OH i don't want my daughters to be too, tall and so she. Would always put it in my. 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. 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. 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 for the. Hills that is so weird to, say especially when you don't know the, person, like, oh we could have d one. Kids, yeah let's have d. One how 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 try to compliment me through our potential future.
