Girls Who Look Like Their Dads Are Hot
Writer, filmmaker, and comedian Ryan Roman thinks girls looking like their dads is cool. From the awkward double takes to the “baddie with her dad’s face” dilemma, Ryan breaks down why people overreact, what attraction really means, and why it shouldn’t be weird if she looks like her old man.

Summary
Ryan Roman has a spicy take: if a girl looks just like her dad, that's perfectly fine. He tells Kareem that guys who can't handle it are "weak in natural selection" and should have their lineage eliminated. The conversation spirals into whether this counts as a fetish (it doesn't), the gendered double standard around facial resemblance (why does nobody care when guys look like their moms?), and the awkwardness of staring into your girlfriend's eyes and recognizing her father's face. Roman points out you wouldn't even know unless you met the dad, and besides, sometimes the dad is hot too. They riff on potential names for the phenomenon, landing on "baddy daddy" for the father and "daddy baddy" for the daughter, though Roman worries about what the comments section will say about him and his tight shirts.

So, what's your take? Sometimes a baddy will look just like her dad, and that's okay.
100%. Agree.
Yeah, I know. She can't help what she looks like.
Right here. Right here. I knew it. She can't help what she looks like. She got two options. Mom, dad, sometimes a mix both. But ultimately, if you're a guy and you stop talking to a girl because she looks like her dad, you're weak in natural selection. If it's true, should eliminate your lineage.
And here's the thing. Sometimes the dad is hot. Exactly. Points. You got to let him cook. Sometimes the dad's a baddie.
Sometimes the dad's a baddie with a thick juicy bum. You stealing all my points right now.
Do we have yeah. What about the body?
The so I'm saying sometimes the thickest shorties built like their dads. And that's okay. If you if you're like weak, right? You're like insecure. You don't know about yourself or like what you stand on. You'll go to dinner, meet a girl's mom, see it. That's not it. That's not it. Her dad come down with your girl's face and we're being honest. Her ass too thick fella. You know what I'm saying? Dating Dominicans.
Do you actually like it? No, it's just not a problem.
It's not a problem for me. But it's not a fetish for you.
No, no, no. That's You're not actively seeking out women that look like their fathers.
Not at all. I know the comments are going to be like, "Yo, this guy's a little sus." They're going to be like, "This guy's sus. He should buy bigger shirts." You are. You are a little sus.
Whoa. What you mean by that? Elaborate on that.
I mean, millions of people are going to watch—% disagree. Millions of people are going to watch this.
Yeah, It's a nice take.
It's a nice take. It's a little spicy.
It's a little spicy. It's a little true. I think we need to uh
It's a little remove ourselves from the ideas of what is looking masculine and and feminine. A nose is a nose. I was Father's Day. I was going up on shorty stories being like, "OMG, you're twin." And they'll get upset.
Why would you tell me that? Baba, you look just like Baba.
Yo, you're a twin. Who do you look like? Your mom or dad?
I looked like my mom growing up and then now I look like my dad. Actually, you know what though? It is it is kind of sexist that if I look like my mom, no one cares,
Right? Like women are like, "Oh, that's fine." Like he can look like his mom. If I look like my dad, no one cares. But as soon as a girl looks like her dad, people start getting like, "Uh, she looks just like that."
It's criminal. Which is not a big deal.
It's not a big deal. And you wouldn't know unless you saw a dad. Did I disagree or agree with you at the beginning?
You agreed with me in the beginning.
I so I'm with you,
Right? And I've been with you,
Right? Okay, good. You don't want to be the guy that's at the dinner table looking at her father looking into his eyes and being like, "Damn, I know these eyes. I've made love to these eyes." You don't want to be that guy. You're thinking about it too much.
No, no. Even if I am, it's fine. I actually have been with many women that looks just like their dad.
Me, too. Right here, bro. I'm not saying right here. Yo, We should come up with a name for it.
Um, I feel like that will become a problem. Like, she's a she's a daddy father. Daddy girl.
Daddy's girl. She a true daddy's girl. She's a true daddy.
A daddy a daddy with a fine daddy. A batty with a fine daddy. A a batty with a sexy dad. A daddy batty. A daddy batty.
Actually, that's that's reversed. I feel like that's for the father. Daddy bdy.
The daddy batty's the dad. A bad daddy.
You're oh, you're right. He's a baddy daddy,
Right? I'm a girl dad and if my girl she right now she does look just like me and it's kind of crazy.
And that's okay. You're a good-look guy. Thank you.
If my daughter looked like me, she'll be a baddie and probably be so bad that she could be like get away with being a terrible DJ in Bushwick. Nobody should be a terrible DJ in Bushwick,
but baddies are allowed to. Send him a picture of your dad.
Send me a picture of your dad. Only if he looks good, I guess. Only if he's hot.
