I have Mormon face. 🫠 #mormon #lds #utah

Not to mention the amount of polygamy that took place within the state during the isolation

The way this lady danced around the topic of inbreeding without saying it was masterful

[pamelamays]

I once visited my daughter's Mormon church. I swear all the women there looked alike and sounded alike.

Thank you for sharing the history of Native Americans, so many people pass over it and say “we discovered this empty land”

[yassigoesSwitzerland]

That's so weird to forbid more than one ear piercing or a tattoo, because your body is a temple and then allowing plastic surgery 😂

I grew up in utah as a hispanic, dark haired, somewhat dark skinned woman and this was the beauty standard I, too, was measured up to my entire life. Only now, in my 40s, am I seeing my heritage and culture for the beauty that it is.

An updated version should mention that the initial gene pool of Mormons came in very high concentrations from the British Isles and Scandinavia (Denmark in particular).

I grew up in LA but went out to Utah for therapy and ended up staying there for a few years. The Mormon culture is definitely real. It took me months to get used to how similar all the women looked. I dated a Mormon girl while I was out there and she had so many weird insecurities that I didn't even know someone could have. It seems like a really difficult culture to grow up in.

I worked as a temp for a company run by Mormon's back in the mid 90's. I thought it was a brother/sister owned company. Nope, it was husband and wife.

When I worked with individuals who had severe developmental disabilities at the Utah State Developmental Center, I learned Utah had a higher than average percentage than other states because of that exact reason. Massive Mormon family with 10 kids might have one or two that lost the genetic lottery and ended up kind of tucked away and forgotten. My sociology professor at U of U even talked about it.

When I was attending Lamaz classes with my then wife for the birth of our first son, the nurse giving the class said there was a study on why there were so many birth defects in Graham county Arizona. While attending Lamaz class for my second son, two years later, we were told why. The Mormons that settled the valley's offspring could all trace their heritage back to two families. I'm talking babies born with partial ears, no arms etc.

I was one of the few girls around me at church growing up that looked different. I remember every girl was a cookie cutter copy of a copy, all looking alike except a very few others. I wasn't skinny, I was super curvy, dark hair and dark eyes, and I've never dressed like them either. Kinda crazy that is actually something that can be in their genes, and explains a lot about why they all seemed to look the same

[phillisob]

Shelise Ann Sola on C2C says she can always pick a Mormon out of the crowd, and it's absolutely true. There is a look and a specific dialect/speech pattern. And unless they're influencers (ZERO chance those women are wearing garments as required), they're typically dressed similarly as well. Luckily for you, you have the pretty Mormon face!

Breast implants caused me terrible inflammation. I had my saline implants removed after 13 years. I hope Mormon women educate themselves on possible BII before implantation.

[gabyvilla]

I went to a mormon church when I was pregnant with my son at 19, mind you im Mexican. I swear EVERYONE was staring and I never went back. Thank God.

[bluebird]

You look like my beautiful friend, Ericka Hogg. She was a traveler from a big Mormon family in Idaho. She went missing a few years ago, so it’s nice to see a little glimpse of her smile in your face. She was funny and impish and brave as hell.

[briannam]

"Did you ever wonder why all Mormons in Utah seem to look alike?"
Can't say I've ever had that thought, brand new sentence for me lol.

[olavodias]

I'm a foreigner who moved to Utah after job transfer. My coworkers are all Mormons, and yes they all look alike :)

[Lovecatholicfaith]

When finally I got brave to go to a mass in a Catholic Church I got so in love with so much diversity! People’s all colors and race ! It was the most beautiful day since I got in Utah ! I’m forme Mormon.

[Owenvaughncoldcocoa]

it’s so funny because my friend is mormon and i didn’t know what that meant. She moved to Utah two years ago and then I found your channel. She has a million siblings, she’s an academic genius, she’s super religious, homophobic (and we live in a blue state), and her whole family is blond with blue eyes. Can’t believe i JUST made the connection.
