My friend has twin babies..One is a boy and the other is a girl..And they are non-identical babies..Their behaviour and looks are different and does not have even a single similarity..And my neighbour has a 5 months old twin babies. Both are boys..and they are non-identical too. One looks like his mom and the other looks like his dad. I have never got a chance to see identical twins - be it babies or adults..How about you? Have you ever got a chance to meet identical twins?

My classmate has an identical twin. They are both girls and they really look alike except that one was taller than the other. Even the smiles and laugh are identical, except the attitude. My classmate has a bad attitude , while her twin was so nice. I haven't seen them since graduation in college.

I'm an identical twin. My brother and I are only 7 minutes apart. Our parents didn't know they were having twins since we were born in the late 60s. We used to be in a club with twins and it was neat to hang with other kids who shared our uniqueness. Now we've grown apart because of life and his snotty wife.

Yes, I have met identical twins and fraternal twins way too many times. I had some friends who were identical and fraternal twins, and I have two sets of fraternal twins in my family. Well, actually one set of twins should have been triplets, but the third baby was miscarried, which happens often in my family. In the area where I live, there was three sets of identical twins and two fraternal in my years of living her. I have met identical women twins who were in their sixties. Again, nothing out of the ordinary.

Identical twins is very rare condition. One case in hundreds. My aunt is having identical twins. Yes my own cousins. One is Boy other is Girl. KALP-KRUPA their names. Both are 12years old, very healthy and charming. Perfectly all right, physically-mentally.

I've met 2 pairs. a pair is in my class at university. They're both boys. Originally they look completely the same. Their haircut, skin color, etc is the same! But, one of them is likes to eat a lot. So I can tell them by their size. another is in my other class. They're both girls. They're almost ABSOLUTELY the same. Their haircut, size, etc. Except their glasses. Their glasses is the only way we can tell them both. One wears glasses with black sides, while the other with red sides.

I like your avatar very much; it's so cute. When I was in school before, there was this classmate of mine and he is of an identical twin. His sister looks different from him, but their features are rather similar. However, their behavior are roughly more or less the same. It's interesting, really..

We have a distant relative that have an identical twin. The boys are my brother`s friend. Whenever they are around I can`t tell who`s who. Oftentimes I have to ask them `` Are you _______ or _______?``. Yes, it makes things sooooo confusing. Even small details in their face are the same. I have married someone with a twin-identical. But of course I can tell them apart...

Yes i came across identical twins.One boy and one girl.They are 3yrs old when i saw them.I could trace out the differences between them when they are dressed.Thy are alike.This was 10 years back,Now may be we can identify them individually.Not always twins looks alike.Sometimes we can't believe some are born twins.ot even a single common feature is not found.

Hi smilyn Yeah i have two classmates that were identical twins, both were boys. Between us, their friends we could recognize one from another, because even if they are "identical" they still can be diferentiated.

I am an identical twin. I think its pretty cool because not only am I different from everyone else but I also had a built in friend. The connection is pretty remarkable because you go through everything at the same age at the same time. Being a twin, everyone and their mother talk about all the twins they know when they see me and my twin or when I bring it up, so yeah, ive met a lot of twins.

I've met a few before. I used to have these two friends, Jessica and Ariel in middle school who were both identical twins. They never did the Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen thing (switching up on you without you noticing it), but I know that if I had an identical twin - we certainly would! lol. It was cool. They were very different, though. Although they looked VERY similar - they had different styles, different groups of friends, and wore their hair/makeup different than the other. I don't know if they did this on purpose, so that the distinction between them was more visible, or if they really were that different, personality and style-wise. *shrugs*. For the longest time, when me and my sister looked EXTREMELY similar, everyone would ask (when we went places: shopping, movies, whatever) if we were twins. lol. It was very weird because I never thought we looked all that similar!

I have never seen identical twins. But I have seen many non identical twins. I have seen identical twins in television or I have read about them in newspapers but I guess that does not count in here. I would really love to meet identical twins. It would be great to meet somebody like it. I mean two people having same face and features standing besides each other. It will be great.

Nope, I have never gotten a chance to meet any identical twins in person. The only place I can see identical twins is on t.v. or a movie. I think twins must still have their own separate personality. They must like to play practical jokes on people.

Once. When I was in 7th grade there were identical twin girl in my class. I can't remember their names for the life of me, but she looks exactly alike except that the older girl was a tad bit taller (by 1/4 inch - not that noticable) and her hair was a tiny bit longer. It was funny because they were surprised that I was able to tell them apart. I guess I just pay attention to the little stuff.
