Saying that he didn't experience sexual trauma, but then described essentially being trafficked when he was 16 tells me that there is an unreliable narrator here. The story he told about Las Vegas is truly terrifying, and there are so many things that had to have gone wrong to lead to something like that for a teenager. (Such as parenting failure and grooming)
I had to scroll way too long to find this comment. He was trafficked as a minor. He is self reporting about his abuse history while at the same time saying he never experienced abuse. He does p0rn while saying it’s bad. He encourages people to be natural while being enhanced head to toe….this is pretty blatant disassociation. He needs help. All the encouragement is hurting him.
If you listen he actually contradicts himself a lot... he says one thing and then contradicts himself like about how he's not about surgery but still wants to get more surgery. His parents aren't happy but now they are happy ? No issues but they're anxious to go out. He doesn't agree with porn but does only fans ??... he doesn't listen to the negative comments but goes on to list all the negative comments made. He's just trying to portray something he's not. He seems lovely but hopefully he can find peace. Especially the underage trauma that happened and he doesn't like the word underage. I don't think it was the word but more what happened.... would he still do this line of work if he was wealthier ? Who knows
He claims in other videos online that he is NOT a sugar baby. Full of lies as you could imagine. His OnlyFans is all leaked too so you can bypass his paywall if you wanted. A total joke.

He deserves better, you can tell he is a great human in so many ways.
I went to middle and high school with him. I even have a picture of us at prom, he slept over my house once because my mom and I loved him so much. He was so sweet, so funny, such a good friend. Mateo, I am so sorry I didn’t see these signs earlier and give you more help. Please stay safe, love you. ❤️
I really hope he gets the help and peace he needs and stays safe. You can tell his contracting himself in some things his saying but I do hope it gets better for him❤️
@@emiliafoto2185 all a front....! People who are happy don't abuse their body like this people who are mentally well don't talk about having a wonderful childhood and speak so highly about being human trafficked at 16 this man is delusional He is sick and all of you in the comments and his doctors should be ashamed of yourselves and should be put in jail for encouraging the destruction and mutilation of a beautiful human......
I am 63 and one thing I have learned from Mark's videos is you can't judge anyone by where they are from or what they look like--this guy was really down to earth and intelligent. I learn so much from all these "Soft White Underbelly" videos. And Mateo, I wish you the best of luck.
I totally agree! I myself used to use drugs crack cocaine and everything else, I’m still in recovery on Methadone for heroin I think that’s going to take a while but watching Marks videos I can’t believe the many people who have been abused or gone through so much with their own parents on drugs or abusing their kids just the many people who have been traumatized and being on drugs. Yeah Mark has gone all over the state’s viewing people. Amazing job Mark. I do think people need to stop being so judgmental about other who they don’t want to except or just being racist rude mean, and Mark shows how you don’t have to abuse people just because you don’t want to like them. People need to stop and think 💭 you wouldn’t want others to stop you from being who or what you want. You know the saying.., do unto others like you would do unto you. Smile have a beautiful day
How can someone so wrong be so right? Mateo is a fascinating human being. He is vain and yet very humble. He wants acceptance but he doesn't shove it down everybody's throats. A walking paradox. You're lovable. ❤
There are a lot of contradictions here. “There was no abuse in my childhood” “I started sex work at 16” “I’m happy with the way I look” “I’ve had plastic surgery head to toe and will be getting my ribs removed soon” “I have a perfect relationship with my parents, they aren’t embarrassed of me.” “My parents have told me they don’t like being seen with me and my father didn’t even want his side of the family to see me.” I’m just not understanding how all of these very obvious red flags are going unseen by the majority of people in these comments. This isn’t a personal attack on Matteo, he doesn’t seem like a bad person and I truly wish him the best. I’d be more than happy to be completely wrong about this, but the constant contradictions and pathological behavior seem to indicate much deeper psychological issues (most likely trauma related) and it’s sad that he seems to be surrounded by enablers (even in this comment section). I really hope he finds peace and is able to live a healthy and truly happy life! Blind praise and enabling are not kind or compassionate. You can’t claim to love a person if you’re complicit in their self destruction.
He actually repeatedly acknowledges the contradictions in his statements. What I am sensing is that he refuses to play the victim card which I find admirable, especially in this day and age.
it is beyond my comprehension how some can believe this man is happy with his life. There is deep deep emotional issues here that are repressed as he changes his outward appearance seeking a happiness beyond reach. So much he is not telling in this video, so much hurt being hidden behind a created facade of pride.🙏
I agree…a well adjusted happy person doesn’t do that to themselves…or trade their body for money….no one grows up saying I’m going to be a prostitute when I’m grown…and he started at 16!?
Y not? Some people just have exotic taste that seems so different to us, so we assume sth must be wrong with them / some traumatic experience lead to this
Mateo for all the work he has had done still seems to see people as beautiful in their natural state. Seems like a very sweet person. I like how he’s not pushing plastic surgery on anyone else and is saying to stay away as long as you can. I hope he finds everything he’s seeking.
What's funny is I just saw another show with him on it and then just popped up. He had the same attitude in the other one as he does now. He's very materialistic obviously, but it doesn't seem to be judgmental of others. He just lives his life the way he wants to and that's it. However, it is very very sad that he was trafficked at 16. All he sees now is the money. He doesn't see the damage that it's really doing or the damage that it did when he was 16 years old.
I have seen Mateo on a couple of platforms and was curious of how he dealt with daily life. But he answered the questions beautifully. He is who he is. Plain and simple. Great interview Mark.
These interviews are a very healthy way to exercise our ability to see issues from a different perspective. They are helping me to be less judgmental with others and myself. Thank you Mark.
I personally don't have any more than 5 minutes to waste watching the character in this video. If I wanted to see a freak show live I'll go to Melrose Ave, West Hollyweird or Sunset.
Mark sacrifices a good and appropriate person to seem more sympathetic to the person he is interviewing. He is not genuine and so we loose some of the real information.
"Not hurting anyone" is not the only criteria for doing the right thing and living a good healthy life. Lots of things can be wrong and not hurt anyone.
I’m 76. Quite honestly, I like this guy. I get the impression he is at peace with himself. Maybe I don’t quite understand all of it, but then again, I’m not him and he isn’t paying my bills. I think he’s comfortable with himself so we should be comfortable too. All anyone in this life wants is to be happy and at peace. I wish he well!
I'm confused....he initially said his parents were OK with it after not talking to him for a month, then later said he and his father got in a fight over it, and his father said he was never going to show him to his family because he didn't want the family to see what kind of son he had, and not to use the family name. And that his parents had anxiety to be seen in public with him. Though he presents as emotionally secure and stable, I think there are some deeper feelings/issues going on. I don't think someone that does this to themself and does the work he does (starting at 16...a child) is happy with their life.
As far as the “timeline” goes he literally said there were some ups and downs. They didn’t speak to him initially. Then accepted him. Granted he was getting more work done as this time went on, so there were prob some fights when he came home w a new surgery. Then they found his “videos” so yes they can support, fight, support, fight. And he mentioned that was a comment his dad made DURING a fight- but he’s scheduled to go meet them in a week, meaning it’s resolved. Idk how that was hard to follow
My understanding is his parents are embarrassed and old-fashioned, but as a Mexican, unless you’re physically beating up your family and stealing from them, they will probably let you stay. It takes a lot for Mexican to kick their family out. But it sounds like he’s paying some other bills.
Mateo actually seems like a very genuine and sweet person. I don’t agree with his choices but he seems to understand he’s an unconventional individual. Good luck Mateo. ❤
I think you mean he's very articulate. Don't know why he didn't get the filler reversed because it's gonna age him even more. But there could be something missing in his life via his family. No shade, but he's tryna fulfill something that's missing- idk what that is.
Meet enough people in contexts that you normally wouldn't imagine meeting people in, and then just let them talk and genuinely listen to them... And you will have that gift for yourself.
Mark is at all open minded. He has done repetitive transphobic comments. He knows trans people brings views. The fact that his most watched videos are detransitioning speaks about his audience.
I am a 60 year old woman & I found Mateo to be before his time very intelligent and interesting. It was refreshing to hear his perspective on things...much of which I agree with. Live & let live in peace & love ❤️
Mateo! We went to dinner randomly with some friends in WEHO before. You were so sweet and funny. He’s truly a sweet, humble & down to earth person. Whatever people decide to do with their bodies or in the bedroom has nothing to do with us! He taught me to never judge a book by its cover. Sending love to you 💕
So why are you watching this if "Whatever people decide to do with their bodies or in the bedroom has nothing to do with us!" And here you are checking it all out lol.
@@Skiptondesigns omg!!! True but she could be also just watching this because she knows or meet the person... wouldnt you watch an interview with someone who you meet in person once and left a good impression on you?
Foolishly I had a preconceived notion of what I thought this interview would be like. But after watching the full thing, I really realize that I was wrong. Mateo is such a sweet guy and is so full of positivity.
I remember seeing Mateo on Truly, got the feeling there has been a lot of pain in his life and has become numb. I may be wrong but I'm really hoping he finds some sense of peace.
I would imagine that anyone doing something this extreme definitely has some emotional issues. I have a LOT of tattoos & I know exactly why I got them all. ❤
Jaded.He has become jaded and numb to real emotion.He really doesn’t realize how damaged he has become due to the life he’s chosen to live.He has yet understand the importance of self respect and having the respect of others….but he will.
I've watched a video where the interviewer asked him if he's not afraid doing what he does especially if he goes to the Arab region and he responds he is prepared to die at any given moment. He isn't happy hence all this modifications and yet it doesn't work maybe apart from an instant gratification hence more and more work. Most people forget happiness is a state of mind and everything earned materially is but fleeting.
Wait, No abuse of any kind as a child but started doing what he does at 16? Sex trafficking yourself at 16 is Not normal in any way. He will never know what real Love is like. Sad.
Who are you to judge if he knows what love is or not? And what made you come to that conclusion? Just because you don’t like how he looks he‘ll never know what love is?
I really enjoyed listening to Matteo. This is one of my favorite interviews, if not my very favorite, I’ve viewed. I love his honesty, confidence & positivity. I know Matteo also has a tender side that he is not showing & that he also gets sad, lonely as we all do. Sending much love to you Matteo, along with a big warm hug to counter all the negativity. Con mucho amor, respeto y cariño!
@@Flowers-777 We are all told to believe that what he is doing isn't hurting anyone else. And all the really matters in this world is his happiness and it's all ok.
What happened to him & his friend when they were 16 sounds really traumatizing. I wonder if he’s down playing it or its something that he has deeply repressed. I hope he truly gets the healing he needs if he hasn’t gotten it yet. He seems truly like gentle soul.
Idk if it’s so much “accepting the heir beliefs” more so just realizing that some people cannot, and will not change their opinions wether they’re wrong or not. Sometimes you have to give up on other people to be happy with yourself.
@@nikirrae8495 yes, he also explains that they (his parents) grew up in another time/era. That right there, in my opinion, is not giving up but understanding. I think it would be giving up if he was out to try to change their minds, but he isnt. As a mother I appreciate the understanding of my childhood context and taking that in consideration just shows empathy, intelligence, and true love.
Me too. These days it's hard to find people whose beliefs are far right or far left who are tolerant and respectful of those with completely opposite idealogies. So many people here judging him and he's the one with the biggest heart.
I think Mateo really nailed it in the closing...no need to shove our own ideals down others' throats. Change does happen slowly and the best and fastest way is through living positively. You be you and I'll be me and lets just live and learn from each other. Well spoken and best to you!
As a Christian who is open minded but retaining my own beliefs- I agree. I think America is only going to make it if we are united. We must respect each other enough to work together on fixing our important issues that need to be solved- like homelessness. We can do this- 🥰
Completely nailed it at the end. He’s sooo funny too. “Babe, your parents are like triple your age, stop trying to change their mind” it’s simple. I love his energy!
@@angelabeemer6793 Me too!! I would give so much for a third of his confidence! He hit it on the head but it made me extremely sad: “People will look at me and not hear a word I say because of the way I look” - Mateo, 2023 😟😔 And as an open-minded person who also has an LGBTQ+ teen I was once a tad narrow-minded but have learned so much in the last 2yrs due to some serious trauma I HAD to but also because of me accepting my children just as they are! Do you know what happens when you fully accept someone just as they are? They become your friends, feel comfortable with you, and feel the sort of love each child should have while growing up in this cold world. I, also, pray your hope for the world comes true, because your hope is the hope of so many others, Mateo. With love from the Midwestern, USA. 🤍
Then the Mateos of life would not dare shove their lifestyles down other people's throats? Or would they shut our mouths close if we dare to speak our free opinions out???
That's strange, because I feel like his appearance *is* forcing his sexuality and hyper sexualized nature down people's throats. Similar to a woman who has ridiculously large augmented breasts. You look at them and know immediately they're involved in sex work, or were in the not too distant past.
I am a Christian and my son is gay. I am so honored he is my son and admire who he is. I don't push my views on him nor does he push his on me. I love my boy so much.
He's pretty low IQ and not self aware, just off this interview😄 His reasoning to pretty much everything is "do whatever you want cause life is short" lmao
In my world I know quite a few people like Mateo. I'm so glad Mark put him on. It shows that people can be on the fringes of " normal" without having been victims as children.
I really almost did not watch this video because I saw his lips and I lowkey starting judging his story by his cover but I’m so glad I did, he’s so self aware and that’s very refreshing because he really just living his best life, not hurting anyone. As long as he’s happy ❤
Is it just me but he's a very cool person to be with. The calm and collected aura he emits is so infectious. I am a worry some person and the way he carries himself would automatically calm me down. 😌❤️
Talk about reversing prejudices !! I was so expecting Mateo to be very superficial and judgemental but he is actually very thoughtful and wise. Especially appreciate his views on pornography - porn absolutely is toxic for our society. And as it turns out I was the judgemental one! - I appreciate the reversal of perspective. Thank you Mateo! Keep on thriving. ✨ Also much love to your parents!
To say “I wish everyone could love themselves” while undergoing 70 surgeries is sadly an oxymoron. If someone loves themself, they don’t need to undergo 70 surgeries to be happy. He has some good things to say. Especially about porn, although I don’t think porn should ever be viewed.
Maybe he meant love the choices or life you live as long as you aren't hurting others. I don't agree with plastic surgery and I don't think it looks good. But people are going to get it or try whatever is the latest trend. Majority of humans are not completely happy with their lives to be fair.
Also, Mateo had his first homosexual experience at 8 years old. So he was raped before he became a sex worker, and while on the care of his parents. Yet, he said there was no abuse at home. Where were his parents while their child is being raped at 8 years old? Of course Mateo's parents allowed the abuse and are as responsible as his rapists.
Wow. I like Mateo. There’s a lot more to him on the inside as person. He seems simple yet very complex in his personality. I find him to be refreshing and genuine.
It's amazing how he can be so confident, especially since he gets so much attention from his appearance. It takes guts to be okay with condemning stares from people in public.
You've got it backwards. His appearance makes him confident. The only condemning stares he's getting are from people he probably doesnt care about anyway.
Mateo, thank you for doing this interview. You have shed light on a different perspective for me. I am probably the age of your parents, and I would likely be challenged to change my views on certain subjects that were informed by my generation. Your message to (younger) people to accept that others may not be able to latch on to their choices resonated with me. Why force and/or get upset with someone else for not accepting your choice? While denying them their choice...to remain in the limits of their mindset? The irony. I got so much more from your interview; but that concept stood out for me. Bravo! I wish you all the best.
Some people make no distinction between positive and negative attention. All they care about is being looked at, talked about and focused on. We all want to feel valued and some achieve it by being the center of attention, any kind of attention will do as long as it's directed at them. Imho true confidence tends to be quiet (sure of it's worth), insecurity is often loud (requires constant outside validation). It is almost like a superpower to not care what others think tho, I applaud anyone who lives their authentic life unbothered, refusing to be affected by the negative opinions of others *esp strangers or bullies*. Enjoy the attention but always remember to value oneself beyond just the physical❤.
"i think everyone should think they're hot shit" that is when i decided i liked this interview. humble, intelligent and whole hearted. this would be a good example as to why no one should judge anyone based on their appearance, job occupation etc...
This is my favorite comment bc it's exactly how I see Mateo. I love that he said "I think everyone should think they're hot shit" and how he's so kind about others. I wish him all the love in the world. I hope when people see this, they don't judge harshly on his appearance bc he is a beautiful soul.
I feel like Mateo is not being truthful on many accounts. He says he was not abused sexually but then tells how he was at the age of 16. Claims to not be addicted to plastic surgery, yet has had over 70 procedures and is planning more. Claims to not need assistance from others and is "fully independent. Then mentions having sugar daddies and doing sex work. Seems like a very nice person but red flags keep popping up.
I respectfully disagree with the notion that he truly is happy. I see instead a very deep sadness and loneliness behind those eyes which have a facade of joy over them with the pretense of contentment. I wish Mateo every good thing in this world and the next, and most especially the peace which seems to elude him right now. He knows the answer though, and will find his way. I am sure 💚
Just watched his “Botched” episode and now watching this both times well spoken , thoughtful. Such a positive energy that is being covered by these surgeries.
I kinda love Mateo!! He seems very real regardless of the surgery. He’s poised and soft spoken. He said he has no sexual trauma but selling your body at 16 is maybe traumatic if you take some time and deal with it. However, having something bad happen doesn’t automatically mean trauma.
I think hearing stories starting off how his parents shut him out for a month while being in the house, sending to conversion camp and his first encounter didnt sound pleasant definitly sounds like trauma.
He said he doesn’t have an addictive personality. Wow, he really believes that. I see a lot of pain so deeply hidden. I hope one day he finds out what it is that’s driving this self abuse. To walk around looking like this isn’t easy, it got to be torture. All the best.
You have Nostradamus eyes. We all have addictive personalities of some sort...what we spend on clothes, hair, makeup, the things we must have, how we look, and even where we go. So, not because someone is not within OUR norm, that makes them coming from trauma. It's like getting a tattoo, and years later, in maturity, you realized you made a mistake. Decisions can merely be a mistake without we putting baggage to it. Not everything has to be made into a laying on the couch situation. I take him at his word. He loves himself too much to hide. He is who he is.
I love just how unbothered and confident he is. If he loves himself and is happy, not hurting anyone, why should we care so much? I love his perspective and energy.
I love this young man's confidence, Bravo for knowing himself and achieving, Bravo to his parents for accepting him and supporting him, and Bravo to you Mark for sharing him. Out of the many unique people in the world you interview Mateo really shines with confidence and soul.
Gorgeous soul"?? Theres nothing gorgeous about him. He is obviously extremely shallow and he is obsessed with looks. Everything about his body is fake so probably he is fake inside too.
Soft White Underbelly is more important to many of us than most will know. Being an "other" in society is incredibly lonely and all we see is the critisism. Here we get to see and feel the community of good people. Living authentically takes a toll. If you know someone who is and you can, give them a kind supportive word. It goes further than you'd imagine. 🌈 💜 🌈
Mateo comes across as a highly intelligent, nice person. He's very resilient. The lips are way off, like he probably can't get 'down time' from those, but each to their own. He's not harming anyone else.
My emotions run the gamut with this interview. Of course the initial shock of appearance and complete left hand, right hand as I listen. At the end, I feel a lot of compassion for him. While I don’t agree with his extreme physical choices (very dangerous at this point), he’s comfortable and confident with them, inside and out. I hope he stays safe and healthy in every way ❤.
If everyone minded their own business life would be so much sweeter. I appreciate his honesty, clear vision and confidence. Let us embrace all our differences
I said this before and will say this again. True fulfillment comes from a connection with the creator. Physical things do not last and lead to emptiness. I pray Mateo taps into that connection and if he has already then Kudos to the guy!
Oh man, he made himself into a sexualized object, but for a very tiny fraction of people that may be actually attracted - beyond novelty 😢. I feel sorrow for him to think of the aging process and the future, but truly do hope he is safe and happy.
Never heard of Mateo before in my life, after watching the video I got MAD respect for this dude. Props, I strive to be this fulfilled and happy with where I am in my life. The amount of self-love this guy radiates is so inspiring. 10/10 would be his friend haha. Keep on doing you Mateo! This was definitely the reminder to love myself I needed today :)
I went to HS with Mateo & he’s always been this sweet, chill, calm, confident light wherever he goes. I’m so happy to see him living his life how he wants to. 🫶🏽
I saw him on the tv show called ‘botched’ for the breathing issues with his ribs. He is a very smart beautiful young person, and to each their own with what people want to do with their bodies. His way of life is not hurting anyone compared to the religious psychos that are judging and trying to convert him and others. He makes more money doing what he does than I could ever dream of so no judgment here, keep on keeping on love! 🖤
Cosmetic surgery really is common for escorts. And I think someone who goes further like this, it really does pay off. Like extremely large bust thru implants, and the other procedures. This is his business
It’s not hate, people are just being honest, he looks unusual, peculiar, weird, and unconventional. No human being looks like that, he looks ridiculous and I feel bad for him, he needs a reality check.
@jesusalberto406 what you said might not be polite but it's just criticism. I clicked because I often wonder what would motivate people who have had this enormous amount of work done. Your criticism is fair but we both know that many people probably troll him with vitriol and I really like how he finds a lot of the comments to be funny and witty. So much so that he shares them with friends I just thought that people who would have this much done to their body wouldn't be able to take the comments about their appearance so well.
Fascinating man. I don't completely understand him still, but respect that he is living how he wants, not hurting others, and not forcing his way on others. It almost seems he's like an artist, using his body as subject. Like he could have painted this but he enacted it. I wish him well. And even if he deals with it, I'm sorry for all the ignorant and hateful comments aimed his way
"Unto oneself, the individual is sovereign." He seems bright, gentle, articulate, and happier than most I've seen on this channel. I wish Mateo continued happiness.
I watch SO MANY SWU and I also have watched a lot of Mateo interviews and I'm realizing now that he never been interviewed by Mark. Wish you could interview his parents next
No offence, but to want his parents to be interviewed next sounds really nosy. I think we all could just ask our relatives and neighbors how they are doing, much more interesting
Dang! So much hate in the comments. Keep it up Mateo, do what makes you happy, your looks are yours to rock. Thanks Mark for keep bringing this stories up and giving them voice; I love how we can bring stereotypes down just by listening to other humans.
Matt Cullen introduced me to Mateo and this video is a great addition to that insightful interview. As a chronic pain sufferer, I do hope all these procedures do not end up causing him pain in the future. Mateo, take good care of yourself!
Chronic pain is a thing in my life. I never had any surgeries, but I was a semi professional ballroom dancer. Dancing with high heels, ruined my hips. I can’t imagine what these people with so many surgeries will go through in 20 years. Pain is real guys. Not to mention diseases out there.
Wow--the whole last piece about not shoving things down people's throats and just being who you are and letting other people be who they are should be made into a public service announcement!
Thank you Mateo for taking time out of your life to share about your life and most importantly your wisdom. Some of these things you're saying, the way you view life, how you deal with hate is going to be life changing for some people watching this, I think it will be life changing for me for sure. When I read negative comments, insults from others I'll always remember what you said, that the negative things people say says more about that person making negative comments than the person the words are directed to. And when we look at it that way the negative comments don't affect us and this will help people taking that big step and try things like maybe being a youtuber tiktoker, etc taking career paths where you have to have a thick skin to deal with the hate that comes no matter what. We do have so much potential! And we can't waste it, we only live once.
Saying that he didn't experience sexual trauma, but then described essentially being trafficked when he was 16 tells me that there is an unreliable narrator here. The story he told about Las Vegas is truly terrifying, and there are so many things that had to have gone wrong to lead to something like that for a teenager. (Such as parenting failure and grooming)
I had to scroll way too long to find this comment. He was trafficked as a minor. He is self reporting about his abuse history while at the same time saying he never experienced abuse. He does p0rn while saying it’s bad. He encourages people to be natural while being enhanced head to toe….this is pretty blatant disassociation. He needs help. All the encouragement is hurting him.
THIS!!!!!
If you listen he actually contradicts himself a lot... he says one thing and then contradicts himself like about how he's not about surgery but still wants to get more surgery.
His parents aren't happy but now they are happy ? No issues but they're anxious to go out. He doesn't agree with porn but does only fans ??... he doesn't listen to the negative comments but goes on to list all the negative comments made. He's just trying to portray something he's not. He seems lovely but hopefully he can find peace. Especially the underage trauma that happened and he doesn't like the word underage. I don't think it was the word but more what happened.... would he still do this line of work if he was wealthier ? Who knows
literally. how arent people more saying this, its so scary.
He claims in other videos online that he is NOT a sugar baby. Full of lies as you could imagine. His OnlyFans is all leaked too so you can bypass his paywall if you wanted. A total joke.
Jeez whoever did this guy's surgery should be in prison smh.
Lol
Yeah, like what else does a surgeon have to do to lose his medical license?
I wonder if it was done in another country 😢
Why are we blaming the doctor/doctors?…. No one forced him to get the surgeries, it was his decision to mutilate himself
Seems like a heavyweight boxer was the surgeon?
He is self reporting about his abuse history while at the same time saying he never experienced abuse. He was trafficked as a minor. He does p0rn while saying it’s bad. He encourages people to be natural while being enhanced head to toe….this is pretty blatant disassociation. He needs help. All the encouragement is hurting him. He deserves better, you can tell he is a great human in so many ways.
Some kind of Type B personality. 😕
Mateo recently did an interview on Matt Cullen's channel. Highly suggest watching after watching this one.😉
He is deffinetly not a genuine person and doesn't care to be. Also, he very naive, but talks like he has it all figured out.
Talk about messed up!
Talk about messed up!
I went to middle and high school with him. I even have a picture of us at prom, he slept over my house once because my mom and I loved him so much. He was so sweet, so funny, such a good friend. Mateo, I am so sorry I didn’t see these signs earlier and give you more help. Please stay safe, love you. ❤️
I really hope he gets the help and peace he needs and stays safe.
You can tell his contracting himself in some things his saying but I do hope it gets better for him❤️
How old is it
Signs of what? did you watch the video? He’s happy, rich, and loves himself.
@@emiliafoto2185 all a front....! People who are happy don't abuse their body like this people who are mentally well don't talk about having a wonderful childhood and speak so highly about being human trafficked at 16 this man is delusional He is sick and all of you in the comments and his doctors should be ashamed of yourselves and should be put in jail for encouraging the destruction and mutilation of a beautiful human......
@@emiliafoto2185he was sexually abused and trafficked as a minor
I am 63 and one thing I have learned from Mark's videos is you can't judge anyone by where they are from or what they look like--this guy was really down to earth and intelligent. I learn so much from all these "Soft White Underbelly" videos. And Mateo, I wish you the best of luck.
I totally agree! I myself used to use drugs crack cocaine and everything else, I’m still in recovery on Methadone for heroin I think that’s going to take a while but watching Marks videos I can’t believe the many people who have been abused or gone through so much with their own parents on drugs or abusing their kids just the many people who have been traumatized and being on drugs. Yeah Mark has gone all over the state’s viewing people. Amazing job Mark.
I do think people need to stop being so judgmental about other who they don’t want to except or just being racist rude mean, and Mark shows how you don’t have to abuse people just because you don’t want to like them. People need to stop and think 💭 you wouldn’t want others to stop you from being who or what you want. You know the saying.., do unto others like you would do unto you. Smile have a beautiful day
Yeah I agree, I definitely judged so hard the first 10 minutes of the interview and he's just so calming and rational in his presence...
@debrarotas1868 you can do it. Know that you are way more strong then you think ❤i which you a good healthy and clean and clear life
Agreed
As Jesús said, forgive them Father because they don't know what they do.
How can someone so wrong be so right? Mateo is a fascinating human being. He is vain and yet very humble. He wants acceptance but he doesn't shove it down everybody's throats. A walking paradox. You're lovable. ❤
No trauma? I’m sorry, but he’s in denial. You don’t end up like that without trauma. Coming from someone who has their own trauma.
Have the ribs removed? The ribs are there for a reason! Ribs protect your internal organs.
There are a lot of contradictions here.
“There was no abuse in my childhood”
“I started sex work at 16”
“I’m happy with the way I look”
“I’ve had plastic surgery head to toe and will be getting my ribs removed soon”
“I have a perfect relationship with my parents, they aren’t embarrassed of me.”
“My parents have told me they don’t like being seen with me and my father didn’t even want his side of the family to see me.”
I’m just not understanding how all of these very obvious red flags are going unseen by the majority of people in these comments. This isn’t a personal attack on Matteo, he doesn’t seem like a bad person and I truly wish him the best. I’d be more than happy to be completely wrong about this, but the constant contradictions and pathological behavior seem to indicate much deeper psychological issues (most likely trauma related) and it’s sad that he seems to be surrounded by enablers (even in this comment section). I really hope he finds peace and is able to live a healthy and truly happy life! Blind praise and enabling are not kind or compassionate. You can’t claim to love a person if you’re complicit in their self destruction.
Well said
Agreed
😢
Yeah I think there's still some time needed to come to terms with many aspects of their life
He actually repeatedly acknowledges the contradictions in his statements. What I am sensing is that he refuses to play the victim card which I find admirable, especially in this day and age.
it is beyond my comprehension how some can believe this man is happy with his life. There is deep deep emotional issues here that are repressed as he changes his outward appearance seeking a happiness beyond reach. So much he is not telling in this video, so much hurt being hidden behind a created facade of pride.🙏
Right? And I call BS on his family support.😂
I agree…a well adjusted happy person doesn’t do that to themselves…or trade their body for money….no one grows up saying I’m going to be a prostitute when I’m grown…and he started at 16!?

Mateo for all the work he has had done still seems to see people as beautiful in their natural state. Seems like a very sweet person. I like how he’s not pushing plastic surgery on anyone else and is saying to stay away as long as you can. I hope he finds everything he’s seeking.
@@jenny4948no, it's not.
What's funny is I just saw another show with him on it and then just popped up. He had the same attitude in the other one as he does now. He's very materialistic obviously, but it doesn't seem to be judgmental of others. He just lives his life the way he wants to and that's it.
However, it is very very sad that he was trafficked at 16. All he sees now is the money. He doesn't see the damage that it's really doing or the damage that it did when he was 16 years old.
amen !
its weird how you can stray so far from reality with how you see yourself yet still see others in a normal way
I have seen Mateo on a couple of platforms and was curious of how he dealt with daily life. But he answered the questions beautifully. He is who he is. Plain and simple. Great interview Mark.
He's a walking sexual fetish. He must be in absolute pain everyday. There is nothing good about this
I saw him on "Botched".
@@cremebrulee4759 me too
Have you heard the type of behaviours he engages in,… They’re definitely not for the faint 😬
I second that.
These interviews are a very healthy way to exercise our ability to see issues from a different perspective. They are helping me to be less judgmental with others and myself. Thank you Mark.
I personally don't have any more than 5 minutes to waste watching the character in this video. If I wanted to see a freak show live I'll go to Melrose Ave, West Hollyweird or Sunset.
"Were you abused as a child?"
"Nope I had an amazing family"
Mark: "thanks for coming"
😂😂😂
Mark sacrifices a good and appropriate person to seem more sympathetic to the person he is interviewing. He is not genuine and so we loose some of the real information.
he’s seems very sweet and just doing his own thing living how he wants to live not harming anyone. I just hope he stays safe ❤
Ummm. Good surface analysis I guess? This persons dress, attitude, beliefs and life scream help.
"Not hurting anyone" is not the only criteria for doing the right thing and living a good healthy life. Lots of things can be wrong and not hurt anyone.
Hurting himself...these plastics are toxic imo not internally
He acts like surgery is no big deal.
@@puppytoes6241maybe for him it's not
I’m 76. Quite honestly, I like this guy. I get the impression he is at peace with himself. Maybe I don’t quite understand all of it, but then again, I’m not him and he isn’t paying my bills. I think he’s comfortable with himself so we should be comfortable too. All anyone in this life wants is to be happy and at peace. I wish he well!
The term is "normalize", this agenda is being shoved down our throats.
He's putting on a show for everyone he's not comfortable with himself.
thank you! for this comment
gossh people here are in genarel just so entitled and judmental
I'm confused....he initially said his parents were OK with it after not talking to him for a month, then later said he and his father got in a fight over it, and his father said he was never going to show him to his family because he didn't want the family to see what kind of son he had, and not to use the family name. And that his parents had anxiety to be seen in public with him.
Though he presents as emotionally secure and stable, I think there are some deeper feelings/issues going on. I don't think someone that does this to themself and does the work he does (starting at 16...a child) is happy with their life.
In his entire life there have been ups and downs. Isn't that normal?
@@grod805 this is extreme. Being trafficked as a minor did not used to be "normal". Are you saying it is now?
As far as the “timeline” goes he literally said there were some ups and downs. They didn’t speak to him initially. Then accepted him. Granted he was getting more work done as this time went on, so there were prob some fights when he came home w a new surgery. Then they found his “videos” so yes they can support, fight, support, fight. And he mentioned that was a comment his dad made DURING a fight- but he’s scheduled to go meet them in a week, meaning it’s resolved. Idk how that was hard to follow
My understanding is his parents are embarrassed and old-fashioned, but as a Mexican, unless you’re physically beating up your family and stealing from them, they will probably let you stay. It takes a lot for Mexican to kick their family out. But it sounds like he’s paying some other bills.
@@grod805
Not Like his ….
Mateo actually seems like a very genuine and sweet person. I don’t agree with his choices but he seems to understand he’s an unconventional individual. Good luck Mateo. ❤
He looks like a crazy person but seems surprisingly down to earth.
Well a normal down to earth person wouldnt end up looking like this
@@melvinjansen2338🤣👍
I think you mean he's very articulate. Don't know why he didn't get the filler reversed because it's gonna age him even more. But there could be something missing in his life via his family. No shade, but he's tryna fulfill something that's missing- idk what that is.
He doesn’t look crazy !
He IS crazy
Mark is so incredibly open minded. Like it’s honestly a gift to have his perspective.
It is amazing to hear a story and to not judge the sender.
Meet enough people in contexts that you normally wouldn't imagine meeting people in, and then just let them talk and genuinely listen to them... And you will have that gift for yourself.
Mark is at all open minded. He has done repetitive transphobic comments. He knows trans people brings views. The fact that his most watched videos are detransitioning speaks about his audience.
what is shocking is how close minded most people are. Get over yourselves, sexual orientation and appearances are irrelevant.
Is his 'perspective' really so incredible when he has the 'perspective' that ANYTHING goes with his clients...even them defecating on him?!
I am a 60 year old woman & I found Mateo to be before his time very intelligent and interesting. It was refreshing to hear his perspective on things...much of which I agree with. Live & let live in peace & love ❤️
I’m absolutely intrigued by him. I think he is brilliant. He’s dropped so many gems honestly ☺️
Mateo! We went to dinner randomly with some friends in WEHO before. You were so sweet and funny. He’s truly a sweet, humble & down to earth person. Whatever people decide to do with their bodies or in the bedroom has nothing to do with us! He taught me to never judge a book by its cover. Sending love to you 💕
Mateo seems really cool I would have loved to meet him

Foolishly I had a preconceived notion of what I thought this interview would be like. But after watching the full thing, I really realize that I was wrong. Mateo is such a sweet guy and is so full of positivity.
He's more wise, kind, and more respectful of people than so many people I know. Best wishes to you, Mateo. Thanks for sharing your story. ❤
@isabellescanga1865 kindness to other and self are different things. Im not certain hes kind to himself, truthfully.
yess ikr
I remember seeing Mateo on Truly, got the feeling there has been a lot of pain in his life and has become numb. I may be wrong but I'm really hoping he finds some sense of peace.
That's where I've seen him before...I knew I watched him before just couldn't remember where
I would imagine that anyone doing something this extreme definitely has some emotional issues. I have a LOT of tattoos & I know exactly why I got them all. ❤
You're right
The numbness you see is the botox.
What / where is truly? I would like to see him there. Ty
There is literally no light left in his eyes. His eyes are the only thing telling the truth.
Jaded.He has become jaded and numb to real emotion.He really doesn’t realize how damaged he has become due to the life he’s chosen to live.He has yet understand the importance of self respect and having the respect of others….but he will.
I've watched a video where the interviewer asked him if he's not afraid doing what he does especially if he goes to the Arab region and he responds he is prepared to die at any given moment. He isn't happy hence all this modifications and yet it doesn't work maybe apart from an instant gratification hence more and more work. Most people forget happiness is a state of mind and everything earned materially is but fleeting.

I love when he says that he wasn’t going to judge or push his beliefs on his parents. I felt that and appreciate the maturity and open mindness. ❤
Idk if it’s so much “accepting the heir beliefs” more so just realizing that some people cannot, and will not change their opinions wether they’re wrong or not. Sometimes you have to give up on other people to be happy with yourself.
@@nikirrae8495 yes, he also explains that they (his parents) grew up in another time/era. That right there, in my opinion, is not giving up but understanding. I think it would be giving up if he was out to try to change their minds, but he isnt.
As a mother I appreciate the understanding of my childhood context and taking that in consideration just shows empathy, intelligence, and true love.
Me too. These days it's hard to find people whose beliefs are far right or far left who are tolerant and respectful of those with completely opposite idealogies. So many people here judging him and he's the one with the biggest heart.

I think Mateo really nailed it in the closing...no need to shove our own ideals down others' throats. Change does happen slowly and the best and fastest way is through living positively. You be you and I'll be me and lets just live and learn from each other. Well spoken and best to you!
As a Christian who is open minded but retaining my own beliefs- I agree. I think America is only going to make it if we are united. We must respect each other enough to work together on fixing our important issues that need to be solved- like homelessness. We can do this- 🥰

😟😔
And as an open-minded person who also has an LGBTQ+ teen
I was once a tad narrow-minded but have learned so much in the last 2yrs due to some serious trauma I HAD to but also because of me accepting my children just as they are! Do you know what happens when you fully accept someone just as they are? They become your friends, feel comfortable with you, and feel the sort of love each child should have while growing up in this cold world.
I, also, pray your hope for the world comes true, because your hope is the hope of so many others, Mateo.
With love from the Midwestern, USA. 🤍
Then the Mateos of life would not dare shove their lifestyles down other people's throats? Or would they shut our mouths close if we dare to speak our free opinions out???
That's strange, because I feel like his appearance *is* forcing his sexuality and hyper sexualized nature down people's throats. Similar to a woman who has ridiculously large augmented breasts. You look at them and know immediately they're involved in sex work, or were in the not too distant past.
I am a Christian and my son is gay. I am so honored he is my son and admire who he is. I don't push my views on him nor does he push his on me. I love my boy so much.

Talk about reversing prejudices !! I was so expecting Mateo to be very superficial and judgemental but he is actually very thoughtful and wise. Especially appreciate his views on pornography - porn absolutely is toxic for our society. And as it turns out I was the judgemental one! - I appreciate the reversal of perspective. Thank you Mateo! Keep on thriving. ✨ Also much love to your parents!
Interestingly enough a lot of sex workers share his attitude and his sentiment about the sex industry. It's just a paycheck for them.
To say “I wish everyone could love themselves” while undergoing 70 surgeries is sadly an oxymoron. If someone loves themself, they don’t need to undergo 70 surgeries to be happy.
He has some good things to say. Especially about porn, although I don’t think porn should ever be viewed.
Maybe he meant love the choices or life you live as long as you aren't hurting others. I don't agree with plastic surgery and I don't think it looks good. But people are going to get it or try whatever is the latest trend.
Majority of humans are not completely happy with their lives to be fair.
Loving ourselves doesn't mean we don't see room for improvement. Plastic surgery doesn't mean someone doesn't love themselves.
Also, Mateo had his first homosexual experience at 8 years old. So he was raped before he became a sex worker, and while on the care of his parents. Yet, he said there was no abuse at home. Where were his parents while their child is being raped at 8 years old? Of course Mateo's parents allowed the abuse and are as responsible as his rapists.
But yet his parents are so holy smh
Wow. I like Mateo. There’s a lot more to him on the inside as person. He seems simple yet very complex in his personality. I find him to be refreshing and genuine.
It's amazing how he can be so confident, especially since he gets so much attention from his appearance. It takes guts to be okay with condemning stares from people in public.
You've got it backwards. His appearance makes him confident. The only condemning stares he's getting are from people he probably doesnt care about anyway.
Mateo, thank you for doing this interview. You have shed light on a different perspective for me. I am probably the age of your parents, and I would likely be challenged to change my views on certain subjects that were informed by my generation. Your message to (younger) people to accept that others may not be able to latch on to their choices resonated with me. Why force and/or get upset with someone else for not accepting your choice? While denying them their choice...to remain in the limits of their mindset? The irony. I got so much more from your interview; but that concept stood out for me. Bravo! I wish you all the best.
Some people make no distinction between positive and negative attention. All they care about is being looked at, talked about and focused on. We all want to feel valued and some achieve it by being the center of attention, any kind of attention will do as long as it's directed at them. Imho true confidence tends to be quiet (sure of it's worth), insecurity is often loud (requires constant outside validation). It is almost like a superpower to not care what others think tho, I applaud anyone who lives their authentic life unbothered, refusing to be affected by the negative opinions of others *esp strangers or bullies*. Enjoy the attention but always remember to value oneself beyond just the physical❤.

I feel like Mateo is not being truthful on many accounts. He says he was not abused sexually but then tells how he was at the age of 16. Claims to not be addicted to plastic surgery, yet has had over 70 procedures and is planning more. Claims to not need assistance from others and is "fully independent. Then mentions having sugar daddies and doing sex work. Seems like a very nice person but red flags keep popping up.
He seems like he’s happy & doing life how he wants without harming anyone in the process.
I respectfully disagree with the notion that he truly is happy. I see instead a very deep sadness and loneliness behind those eyes which have a facade of joy over them with the pretense of contentment. I wish Mateo every good thing in this world and the next, and most especially the peace which seems to elude him right now. He knows the answer though, and will find his way. I am sure 💚
Just because the people hurt by him are invisible to you does not mean they don't exsist.

Don't be rude to them! What did they ever do to you? So many bigots in the comments
Just watched his “Botched” episode and now watching this both times well spoken , thoughtful. Such a positive energy that is being covered by these surgeries.
What is that episode called? I would like to see it.
The world needs more compassion, kindness, and civility toward each other.
Compassion-less societies create reprobate lives. 😢😢😢 Prayers for this human.
I kinda love Mateo!! He seems very real regardless of the surgery.
He’s poised and soft spoken.
He said he has no sexual trauma but selling your body at 16 is maybe traumatic if you take some time and deal with it. However, having something bad happen doesn’t automatically mean trauma.
I think hearing stories starting off how his parents shut him out for a month while being in the house, sending to conversion camp and his first encounter didnt sound pleasant definitly sounds like trauma.
He said he doesn’t have an addictive personality. Wow, he really believes that. I see a lot of pain so deeply hidden. I hope one day he finds out what it is that’s driving this self abuse. To walk around looking like this isn’t easy, it got to be torture. All the best.
His addiction is definitely plastic surgery. He's a nice guy but there is some insecurities there.
You have Nostradamus eyes. We all have addictive personalities of some sort...what we spend on clothes, hair, makeup, the things we must have, how we look, and even where we go. So, not because someone is not within OUR norm, that makes them coming from trauma. It's like getting a tattoo, and years later, in maturity, you realized you made a mistake. Decisions can merely be a mistake without we putting baggage to it. Not everything has to be made into a laying on the couch situation. I take him at his word. He loves himself too much to hide. He is who he is.
if this it your outtake of these 42 minutes u gotta be delusional :D
I love just how unbothered and confident he is. If he loves himself and is happy, not hurting anyone, why should we care so much? I love his perspective and energy.

@@Shmendan2 sure. But if he’s not hurting anyone then nobody should care.
Any1 with lips those big don’t love them selfs there insecure
@@Shmendan2ya, the ones that affect others. this does not
@@mysteryY2Kdoesn't it?
Congratulations Mateo! Amazing interview. I applaud you for opening up like this. I hope you continue to do you. ❤😊
I love this young man's confidence, Bravo for knowing himself and achieving, Bravo to his parents for accepting him and supporting him, and Bravo to you Mark for sharing him. Out of the many unique people in the world you interview Mateo really shines with confidence and soul.
There are some moments of true brilliance in this interview. Love this gorgeous soul.
This gorgeous soul does not mind his clients defecating on him...he said it in another interview I watched.
Got a time stamp on any of these "Moments of true brilliance"?
agreed 1000%
Gorgeous soul"?? Theres nothing gorgeous about him. He is obviously extremely shallow and he is obsessed with looks. Everything about his body is fake so probably he is fake inside too.
He needs help
Very interesting character. He’s kind hearted and intelligent. I just worry for your safety, Mateo. ❤
Cosmetic surgery is one thing. This is pathological.
Soft White Underbelly is more important to many of us than most will know.
Being an "other" in society is incredibly lonely and all we see is the critisism. Here we get to see and feel the community of good people.
Living authentically takes a toll.
If you know someone who is and you can, give them a kind supportive word.
It goes further than you'd imagine.
🌈 💜 🌈
Mateo comes across as a highly intelligent, nice person. He's very resilient. The lips are way off, like he probably can't get 'down time' from those, but each to their own. He's not harming anyone else.
he does seem like a nice person but needs a lot of therapy
Just because you (and Mark) can not see the people hurt by what he is doing does not mean they don't exsist.
@@Gingerblaze what is he doing that is hurting people?
My emotions run the gamut with this interview. Of course the initial shock of appearance and complete left hand, right hand as I listen. At the end, I feel a lot of compassion for him. While I don’t agree with his extreme physical choices (very dangerous at this point), he’s comfortable and confident with them, inside and out. I hope he stays safe and healthy in every way ❤.
Gamut ?
His body modifications are an addiction. I find it troubling the number of physicians who do these.
I can’t imagine the harassment he must face as an adult.
Face 😂😂😂
whats wrong with that
Please use their correct pronouns. They didn't do anything wrong.

🤮🤮🤮
Anyone that harrases him is a low life..and more then likely unhappy with them selves and their own lives.
If everyone minded their own business life would be so much sweeter. I appreciate his honesty, clear vision and confidence. Let us embrace all our differences
YES!!
Hard to mind my biz when it hits me in my face.
This poor dear. He´s very lucky he has supportive parents.
He says one thing and then says the exact opposite in the next sentence....he is either delusional or just a liar.
I said this before and will say this again. True fulfillment comes from a connection with the creator. Physical things do not last and lead to emptiness. I pray Mateo taps into that connection and if he has already then Kudos to the guy!
Oh man, he made himself into a sexualized object, but for a very tiny fraction of people that may be actually attracted - beyond novelty 😢. I feel sorrow for him to think of the aging process and the future, but truly do hope he is safe and happy.
I really like Mateo, he is genuine. I’m so pleased his family love and support him. Good for you Mateo, you do you and stay proud sweetheart!
genuine?! everything about this guy is fake
You effing people are from another planet.
This kid is a trainwreck and hes going to crash, HARD.
Never heard of Mateo before in my life, after watching the video I got MAD respect for this dude. Props, I strive to be this fulfilled and happy with where I am in my life. The amount of self-love this guy radiates is so inspiring. 10/10 would be his friend haha.
Keep on doing you Mateo! This was definitely the reminder to love myself I needed today :)
He said hes going to meet his father's family next week. I wish him a lot of luck with that..
In Mexico City no less. He better stay with family and never go out by himself.
That whole situation has disaster written all over it.
He will be fine - he’s been to the Middle East alone so
I like him😊
This is terrifying
Very scary! 😱
no kidding
Proves that people fear & then hate what they don't understand.
@@kriskabinexactly ! If they think this is terrifying then they are in for a real treat when they realize what’s going on in this world under ground
I went to HS with Mateo & he’s always been this sweet, chill, calm, confident light wherever he goes. I’m so happy to see him living his life how he wants to. 🫶🏽
How can you tell it’s him
@@michaelwoodcowhat the heck kind of question is that ? Lol
He was taken advantage of at only 16. 😢
I know 😢
Yeah, that was totally skated by, but it was so sad to me
This was a very interesting interview. Glad to watch, thank you.
I saw him on the tv show called ‘botched’ for the breathing issues with his ribs. He is a very smart beautiful young person, and to each their own with what people want to do with their bodies. His way of life is not hurting anyone compared to the religious psychos that are judging and trying to convert him and others. He makes more money doing what he does than I could ever dream of so no judgment here, keep on keeping on love! 🖤
Cosmetic surgery really is common for escorts. And I think someone who goes further like this, it really does pay off. Like extremely large bust thru implants, and the other procedures. This is his business
How Mateo takes the hate with humour is charming and this comment section is wholesome as is his attitude in this interview.
A LOT of medication. Mark should ask him about that.
It’s not hate, people are just being honest, he looks unusual, peculiar, weird, and unconventional. No human being looks like that, he looks ridiculous and I feel bad for him, he needs a reality check.
😅😅😅😅😅 😂😂😂😂😂 I'd hit it with a stick, hard ! in the face, if I ever come across it on the street.
@jesusalberto406 what you said might not be polite but it's just criticism. I clicked because I often wonder what would motivate people who have had this enormous amount of work done. Your criticism is fair but we both know that many people probably troll him with vitriol and I really like how he finds a lot of the comments to be funny and witty. So much so that he shares them with friends I just thought that people who would have this much done to their body wouldn't be able to take the comments about their appearance so well.
@@jitblues i guess i need that medication ASAP, cause i be keeping myself as normal as i can be yet i feel like @#$&
Fascinating man. I don't completely understand him still, but respect that he is living how he wants, not hurting others, and not forcing his way on others. It almost seems he's like an artist, using his body as subject. Like he could have painted this but he enacted it. I wish him well. And even if he deals with it, I'm sorry for all the ignorant and hateful comments aimed his way
These interviews help expose us to people's choices that we wouldn't make for ourselves. It's a good way to humanize people really
"Unto oneself, the individual is sovereign." He seems bright, gentle, articulate, and happier than most I've seen on this channel. I wish Mateo continued happiness.
Wow, he’s really making the rounds on TH-cam. Just saw another interview of him talking about how fabulous he is and how incredibly SAD it all was 😢
He seems like he’s actually cool 😂 I’m glad his parents support him!
I watch SO MANY SWU and I also have watched a lot of Mateo interviews and I'm realizing now that he never been interviewed by Mark. Wish you could interview his parents next
No offence, but to want his parents to be interviewed next sounds really nosy. I think we all could just ask our relatives and neighbors how they are doing, much more interesting
Dang! So much hate in the comments.
Keep it up Mateo, do what makes you happy, your looks are yours to rock.
Thanks Mark for keep bringing this stories up and giving them voice; I love how we can bring stereotypes down just by listening to other humans.
Matt Cullen introduced me to Mateo and this video is a great addition to that insightful interview. As a chronic pain sufferer, I do hope all these procedures do not end up causing him pain in the future. Mateo, take good care of yourself!
I knew I saw Mateo somewhere before, yes Matt Cullen video channel.
Chronic pain is a thing in my life. I never had any surgeries, but I was a semi professional ballroom dancer. Dancing with high heels, ruined my hips. I can’t imagine what these people with so many surgeries will go through in 20 years. Pain is real guys. Not to mention diseases out there.
Wow--the whole last piece about not shoving things down people's throats and just being who you are and letting other people be who they are should be made into a public service announcement!
Dude's highly self aware and seems committed to the lifestyle he's chosen... very engaging speaker.
Just imagine this poor kid in 30 years.
Thank you Mateo for taking time out of your life to share about your life and most importantly your wisdom. Some of these things you're saying, the way you view life, how you deal with hate is going to be life changing for some people watching this, I think it will be life changing for me for sure. When I read negative comments, insults from others I'll always remember what you said, that the negative things people say says more about that person making negative comments than the person the words are directed to. And when we look at it that way the negative comments don't affect us and this will help people taking that big step and try things like maybe being a youtuber tiktoker, etc taking career paths where you have to have a thick skin to deal with the hate that comes no matter what. We do have so much potential! And we can't waste it, we only live once.
