Today, I was on a date with a very intelligent and handsome guy. I was so nervous that when he was telling me about his twin sister, I asked him if they were identical twins. FML

Awkward.. but if the 'intelligent and handome' guy doesn't have a good enough sense of humour to not hold it against you, then you're probably better off without him :-)

I would probably do that too, honestly. He probably thought it was cute! If not...AVADA KEDAVRA!

Well you can be a twin and not be identical. You've got identical and fraternal. So need to feel bad :)

Lol that funny, hope he thought so too :)

No it's not, not unless there was some sort of mutation during development. Identical twins have identical genetics, therefore they have to be the same sex (unless, like I mentioned, there is a mutation).

Oh my goodness people, they CAN'T be identical because HE is talking about his SISTER. If they were identical they would be the same sex. Hence why OP feels stupid.

I've been married 23 yrs. I learned early on that you don't bring up stuff like that in bed! Bed is for two things one is sleeping, the other one is not sleeping. Get it?

This is not what l was commenting on! How did this happen? FML Lol

That's not a stupid questions. Twins are always either identical or fraternal. It doesn't matter if the gender, all that counts is which egg they were in.

But it's also true that they don't have ro be identical!

59 She doesn't feel dumb for asking whether they were identical because they are identical. She feels dumb because knowing that they are twins and they are of different sexes they obviously have to be fraternal twins.
