There was a short period of time in the 80s and 90s where punk rockers didn’t hide their acne, didn’t wear expensive outfits, and would just look like some random guys got on stage and rocked out. It was fantastic. It was real antiestablishmentism. I miss the days when being authentic was cooler than being fake.
Right, it makes me think about thé skating community. In the 90- 20 all the skaters did not give a f about clothes, they had holes in their jeans. Skaters nowadays are on Instagram trying to sell their brand. Kids on Park are in brand New clothes but nobody IS skating lol they just want dumb consumers...
Social media is the most impressionable and toxic to women under 30. Anything that brings attention is validated. Being a part of something everybody in their echo chamber wants or likes is all that matters.
I think this goes for all Gen-Z and youngest Millennial. I'm an old Millennial, don't browse on those platform for myself. Only running it for business.
I would argue that in a lot of cases it’s even more toxic to women over 30. There is a huge anti-aging epidemic going on especially in women online because influencers make women over the age of 25 feel like waking corpses. No joke, I saw an 8 year old on instagram applying retinol to her face.
the thing is, the guys will hook up with them, but like some redpill dudes say, they will be entered into the "sleeper" catagories. She is mroe "useful" for carnal desire than active Wive/Girlfriend relationship...
@@Letgoit2 Well, I don't know about all that. You get a big 'un to take you hook, line and sinker, you gotta reel 'em in, get 'em in your net and hold 'em up to show all your friends so tha... oh... wait... you're talking about girls. Ok, nevermind...
It makes you wonder who actually digs these woman doesn't it. Ugh, it's like, revolting. Changing your appearance, to me, is the biggest turn off, the most unattractive bullshit. I feel like it tells a lot about a person. Superficiality and insecurity is massively unattractive
Im older and am shocked at the young girls i see at the Pilates studio. The way they are mesmerized by their own reflection in the mirror is astounding. I watch them and they don’t break eye contact w themselves. Back in the day if you were “caught” in the mirror just fixing your hair, you’d stop immediately. Otherwise, you’d be pegged as “conceited” LOL. These girls make zero eye contact with anyone else. Zero communication. They are literally legends in their own minds.
I stopped fixing my hair in situations like that for the same reason, and then it was suddenly like the whole world had changed; everyone was withdrawn into their own little world.
Remember there are guys that do the height surgery. There's nothing you can do about down there. Also girls have it way easier. Tall, short, skinny, fat, big honkers, small. There are almost even amount of guys that are into them all. Polls have been done. Different from girls who all like the same type of guy for the most part
Worked with a young woman, early 20s, who was getting botox, lip fillers, stupid bleached hair, etc... she showed us her DL at some point and said she never wanted to be that girl again. My buddy and I looked at the photo, then at each other, later on we had a whole conversation about how much hotter she was. Body dysmorphia is a helluva drug. She was a seemingly smart and well educated person too.
The thing is, women aren't doing this for men. Most men find that kind of plastic surgery unattractive. They do it for other women. It's become a sort of status symbol.
But they have no problem blaming men for beauty standards do they? You're right, it's a problem between women, so they should stop talking to men about it and deal with the problem internally.
@@neondystopian Except men near universally prefer natural looking women to plastic looking women. You also cannot force anyone to get surgery but they still find a way to blame us.
@@Bonesawisready926 They always find a way. "There's not enough CEOs of "... THEN START YOUR OWN COMPANY! "We need more x in stem." Did you want to go to stem fields? Did your friends want to go there? No? Then what's the problem?
@@Bonesawisready926 There was a study about this a while ago, and the men in the study had to choose which they found more attractive in a list of women some were natural and others were 'edited', but they didn't know that. Turns out, almost all of them chose the edited versions. Pretty much all of them chose the plastic boobs girls also. What most men think is 'natural' its just well made plastic surgery and in the end I think people just like things that look pretty, artificial or not. Also, completely unrelated...wtf is a BBL called that when I haven't seen nor heard a single person here in Brazil do this thing, this is not even available here and the clinics here.
i find it funny that we have to remember that, because tbh that was the real intention when social media came into existence but it sadly shifted into what it is now
Kim Kardashian actually worked for Paris Hilton, basically a lady in waiting, doing her errands. Another fun fact, Prince couldn't stand Kim, actually kicked her off stage because she couldn't dance. Kim was a brown nosing social climber and most of Hollyweird ignored them. It was years later that Kris married Bruce/Katelyn and they were finally accepted into polite society. The kids today don't know their history but it's not always been glitz and glamour, remember Robert Kardashian was OJ's attorney.
@@OctaviaSimmons-py1if Robert Kardashian is still guilty of taking some of OJ's luggage when he landed and got to his house. It was caught by a news reporters cameraman and everyone ignored it. What was in that luggage because he got his attorney's license reactivated and joined the dream team to represent OJ at trial. Kim said she looked in the luggage and it was just toiletries but did Robert remove something first? The whole family is off.
Yo thanks for making your videos long and interesting to hear. I’m a truck driver that can’t actually watch the videos only listen and mainly have videos on auto play so I don’t gotta touch the phone. You do a pretty good job of explaining what’s going on. The only thing I can ask is to say the title of the videos your reacting too. Thanks man keep you the good videos!
oh man i should go look to see if i still have mine. i stopped using it nearly 2 years ago and it changed my life so much that i just stopped using all social media outside the cesspool YT comments. but thats mainly for entertainment LOL
I have one but haven't touched it in over a year. YT comments and Discord are the closest I get to social media these days. The shit has rotted most women's brains at this point.
I don't take photos of myself because I am not a narcissist. You have a mirror, you know what you look like. Current cultures obsessions about showing the world how you look after you take a dump is upsetting..
I’m a 47 year old with a lot of past experiences that would have faded away without my journal and photo albums. Dont let others narcissism dictate your behavior, your life exp are important and should be documented for self growth and to reminisce when you grow old like me. 😃
@@ericwaln2056 C'mon now, Eric... I doubt you've a journal and photo albums consisting only of bathroom selfies and plates of food... 🤣🤣 I'm only joking, I completely agree with your sentiment as a 40 year old myself.
A part of the 18.1% of plastic surgeries being patients aged 13-19 is removing skin lesions and other stuff that either goes wrong during puberty, or was postponed to later teens because there was a chance it would fix itself or it becomes safer to fix once the facial shape changes of puberty are over.
I had an underbite that would cost me my molars (ability to chew food) by 30 and had to get a $50,000 upper jaw surgery which was paid for by Medicaid at 18 years old once my bones stopped growing at the end of puberty. It took over a year to fully recover and gain feeling back in my face from the nerves they bruised and honestly I cannot understand why someone would go through that just for cosmetics even though its more common than having an actual medical reason for it like in my case. 0/10 would not want to eat from a syringe again.
@@puffyvalcano3736 Lmao about the same, i broke my jaw hard at 17 and was legit the only fcker in the whole hospital wing here for medical reason, every one else just didnt like the shape of their face.
@@telmobrito519 jaw surgery is done for medical reasons usually, it doesn't mean you need to have complications already, but you'll have them when the jaws won't align correctly
a lot of those surgeries may be about fixing birth defects that require lots of surgeries or that can't be done before bones stop growing, it could be that some serious conditions need so many surgeries that it gets the number up
This is an excellent point lol. Getting stuff done is fine if the goal is to not have it be noticeable, but if you take it to the point that it can be instantly spotted then yeah it helps out guys' crazy detection radar.
I like to call it the "popular girl effect". Pre social media, most girls/women in a school, neighborhood, or community mostly emulated the most popular group of girls/women. But now the popular girl is social media and it has gone worldwide. The more potential attention and validation they can receive, the further they'll go. That's why you have teenage girls wanting to start an onlyfans as soon as they turn 18
Just a heads-up about taking your own picture with a camera: What we see in the mirror is merely our reflection. But no matter how symmetrical we might think our faces are, we don't actually look like our reflection. Not only that, but mirrors only allow us to see ourselves from a fixed angle. Turning your head around doesn't really change that - the focus is still placed towards your eyes. However, other people can see what we ACTUALLY look like, from all sorts of angles. Because we are only used to our reflection, whenever we see a photo of us, or see ourselves moving in a video, we always tend to get this feeling that we look weird somehow. However, to other people looking at the same photo or video of ourselves, we'll come across as normal. This is why it's always best to ask someone else to judge if you look bad in a photo, and why you'll sometimes come across situations where everyone will say they love this particular photo of you, even though you think you look HIDEOUS in it. This is the main reason why people tend to not like photos and pictures of themselves. The selfie cameras on phones help this by mirroring the image. That is why it's a lot easier to take a picture of yourself that you like using the selfie camera, but why you'll cringe whenever you see your photo in the class yearbook. Camera lens does play a part in it somewhat, but that's stepping into professional photography. Depending on the lens that you use (and the lighting), you are able to change how attractive someone gets perceived. But this is only a minor reason. In fact, lighting plays a much bigger role than the actual camera lens does most of the time.
The way you look in the mirror is actually closer to how you look to other people that know you. Other people filter out the same asymmetries in our face that we filter out after just 3 months of knowing us. They filter out the imperfections, the little ugly things that bother us in pictures. This can be proven, just look at a friend/partner in the mirror, youll see how they actually look, and how they themselves see themselves in pictures. But normally, your mirror self is closer to how you look than pictures are. Pictures are also heavily distorted due to lens-distortion. Just taking selfies from further away will already make you look miles better and closer to how you look in the mirror, because mirror us is seen by two lenses, not one heavily distorted one.
@@kinghash29 Probably means you're using a bad selfie camera or don't like the way you look in general, but yearbook camera was able to get a nice one of you.
As a guy who works out, I can say that's not enough. The buff body just becomes your new normality, and you find a new quality of yours to be insecure about.
i only work out so i can eat more i don't even care about being buff or how I'm seen I just literally want to eat more without my body betraying me in the future and failing me, including my heart
Fr, ive gotten to the point where i receive compliments when i go to the pool for my daily laps. The thing is that im still thinking about how bad my face is.... i even joke about the gym needing a face machine so i can look better. That also affects my mental health because i think im not good enough for anyone, so i just stay away. Then i get social anxiety when someone wants to talk to me bc im used to feeling so small that any interaction feels like im in the way. Idk if i deviated and just spilled but i dont agree with asmon. "Just working out" is not enough.
However crazy this sounds as a Gen Z who grew up with Instagram and every other social media in school from age 11 in school, we never had the space to ‘find ourselves’ and get to grips with the world and DO real things. Explore real places. Make mistakes and learn. We just found other people. And what they’re doing. Relentless comparisons. Depleted self esteem. Depleted self worth. Unrealistic expectations of what life should be. Then after a while what they’re doing is fake. So is all of it.
@@Bonesawisready926 I never said it wasn’t my choice to engage. I made an uneducated decision as a CHILD to engage, the period where your frontal lobe, personality etc are still forming. I am absolutely accountable for not knowing the dangers and choosing to engage. No one knew the dangers at the time. It was new. I’m not playing victim to my current self, I’m now an adult that is able to use it as I see fit with the understanding of the harm of using certain sites.
@@allyjaylou I think it is important to take into account when the person grew up. When I was in elementary 6th grade slide phones just came out. So I had alot of time to just hang around with friends and be dumb kids. From your comment, I assume you did not have that or had very little of that. You grew up in a time when all this SNS was already there. Sure, it was your choice but is it really a choice when a child has to make the decision? I am not going to call you a victim, but still.

@@natediaz1863 Honestly 🤦♂️. I thought my ex was different from other girls because she hated most of the stupid things they do like astrology and magic rocks. Then she wanted to destroy her face with plastic surgery because she hated her nose. She always looked at social media to see her old highschool classmates become Instagram models, which made her jealous.
@@natediaz1863* most girls. My partner doesn't use social media. She doesn't watch movies or tv shows. She lives in reality instead of on the internet. Most of the photos on her phone is of our kids. She has like 2 or 3 selfies that are like 5 years old or older. She hates tattoos and she doesn't wear make up most of the time. When she does it's a very small amount. She would never do anything like plastic surgery. She think it's stupid and make you look like a clown. She doesn't believe in astrology or magic shit. She's too smart for that stuff. We've been living together for over 10 years so I know.
I remember setting up a date with some girl in college through social media. I was always honest with my appearance online, so I naively expected the same from others. You can guess where this is going... she practically catfished me. She did not look AT ALL like her photos. Fair enough since, in retrospect, I know almost everyone does this. What absolutely blew me away was how she reacted when I met her at the restaurant we were going to. The first words out of her mouth were, "WOW! You look exactly like your photos!" Is that not what photos are supposed to be????? Clearly not.
I'm the same, and had someone say exactly the same thing to me. Why would I make my photos look like someone else if you're ever going to see me in person? That's.. catfishing? I'm also really not insecure at all about how I look, there's far more interesting things about me than my appearance. If the only way to make someone like you is to look a certain way, I'm fine with them not liking me 🤷🏼♀️
I love how sexy women in games are harmful to real women, setting unachievable standards so they must be remove and then instagram is like it's free real estate and not one activist is saying anything against it
I know of two german female youtubers (they are neither activists nor radical in their beliefs in any way) who have spoken up against plastic surgery. They have also had surgery themselves and know what they are talking about. They have never blamed men or video games. After all, women do it for themselves.
Pretty much why feminism is a joke, it's used by the beauty industry as a way to promote plastic surgery, expensive clothing, and overall vapid consumerism under the guise of "empowerment". And that's the light version of it, if you don't want to go conspiracy theory mode...
@Interdacted tbf anime dudes are mostly talking about girl attitude vs the anime girl attitude , who are a lot more passive and willing to listen, I mean older 90s anime aren't exactly attractive to begin with but they still love them for who they are cause of their characteristic
This is only true if you only following gaming, movies and series where discussions are going on online. Plenty of people are talking against unneeded surgery, but probably not in a sphere you follow^^ Its also a fact that very few actually care about what is going on in gaming, but its more of a mountain top to plant a flag on compared to a choice made by women by the minority that are chronically online.
how short do you have to be to get rods added to your legs to give you a few inches? it's all insecurities people build up in their mind and cant stop thinking about it.
i got a hair transplant when i was 20, i’m 25 now and i shave my head because i like how it suits me. my point is people make stupid decisions and alter their body which means their future self will have to pay for it.
When you realize this isn't just a 1st world problem and even african women the Ndebele tribe who stretch their necks with rings as a symbol of maturity, age and beauty will hurt themselves, break bones purposely just to fit more rings at early ages
I'm a girl, was bullied significantly for a "flaw" (wider forehead) by a group of older girls who I didn't even know and it crushed my self esteem. Over the years I considered getting cosmetic surgery to lower my hairline and so on, but ultimately I've settled on no. I have been using photoshop professionally for many years, so I've taken photos and lowered the hairline/tried to decrease the size of my forehead but my face never looks right proportionally. Something looks off even if I just lower it an inch. I had cosmetic surgery on my lip when I was a baby. At this point the only thing I'm interested in getting cosmetic procedures to fix is my teeth, but that's mostly health related with a hint of cosmetic. I don't need much work aside from that, my skin is acne prone but okay, my body isn't even that bad yea I would like a flatter/more toned stomach but if an inch of lower stomach fat is the turn off I think it says more about the other person than it says about me, my face isn't awful, and considering altering my forehead would mess up my facial proportion I don't even think that it's anything to feel insecure about anymore. If I hate it I can just get bangs, problem solved. It's upsetting that many girls my age don't see all of the stuff on social media for what it is, or simply cannot see it for themselves without somebody having to go to a length to prove it to them. I can't say it a lot but I'm actually quite lucky I guess.
This is really dependent on who is surrounding you and the fact that your “flaw” probably isn’t that prominent. You felt insecure about your forehead due to those who bullied you a long while back, but currently the people around you don’t seem to care so it’s easy for you not to care as well. However, if your “flaw” was more glaring to the standards around you, you might still long to get work done. Standards vary a lot depending on where you live, how attractive your friends are, where you hang, your profession, etc. It’s not that many girls “can’t see” that social media is smoke and mirrors. It’s that they live different lives than you. They might long to work in sales or entertainment where the standards are higher or have a terrible mother who calls them ugly. It might say much more about the people who judge you, but if that person is someone you respected, it’s harder to ignore.
i know you didnt ask for a tip but here it goes, maybe helps any other who reads this. If you ever feel like something is off in you just ignore it and pretent you are the madafkin brad pitt or angelina jolie. sometimes people will believe what you believe and having confidence is key. also most importantly, there is all kinds of beaty and just becouse you dont have a perfect nose or a perfect jaw doesnt mean you are not beatiful /handsome
@@MalignantGarden The point of bringing this up, much like the video, is not to go out and change a perceived flaw. It's actually the exact opposite. You can ask the same to others, "Was it really that hard to just go under the knife to get that one thing fixed?" The problem is that when you "fix" one perceived flaw, another arises. You'll forever be chasing to "fix" these perceived flaws and you'll ruin your natural beauty/health in doing so and waste your life away chasing it. Unfortunately once this cycle of thinking begins, it's very hard to break it. In reality nobody should feel they have to change their own style or their own features just to appease somebody else or to meet somebody else's standards of how one should look. I wasn't a model then, never wanted to be a model, and still am not a model now, so why should it matter so much whether my forehead is slightly larger or not..? Young people now get to scroll through Instagram, seeing heavily filtered and edited photos that were carefully selected by the creator out of the thousands of photos they take, to make sure they're portrayed in the most envious light, and the problem here is that young people are comparing themselves to these images because these fake images are all they see. They then apply this fake reality and extreme, rigid expectations to themselves and everyone around them. When people inevitably do not live up to those standards, they receive hate.. much like I did. Yes, I could have gotten bangs. Sure, let's go with that. And I guarantee you the following week I'd be bullied about another physical feature. Maybe I'll go fix that too, then when I do I'll get bullied for another physical feature. It's a never ending cycle, extremely difficult to not fall victim to, but it's crucial for your own health to resist falling into that negative spiral of thinking.
9/10 they were hotter before surgery too smdh. Perfection is a illusion we are a imperfect species we always will be. people need to learn to be content with themselves and change what can be changed naturally in a healthy manner.
95% of the time being confident about your flaw is sexier than not having it at all. Remaining 5% is for really heavy blemishes you should take care of anyway, like serious burns, fucked up teeth or visibly broken and crooked nose.
95% of the time you actually don’t notice a procedure when it looks fine because it wasn’t botched…you just notice the fails that negatively impact the attractiveness
I'm turning 49 this year and have been on computers the majority of my life. I've watched the entire life cycle of social media and usually with culture there comes a tipping point when people get bored of things and move on, I wonder when and if that will ever happen with social media.
AI revolution doesn't exist. Its just yes or no if so go to next coding. Were not there yet. Not even close. AI is just humans interacting with other humans with some automation. Ta da... we're we lied to ....shocker 😂
People have forgotten how to turn off social media to do something they truly love, not in accordance with some idea they have of themselves because of self-comparison. These people aren't living enough.
I was fairly comfortable with how I looked. I've never had any surgery done. I've had an instagram account for less than a year then I recently considered getting it. I do think even passively seeing all those perfected images of people can affect your self-image. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if I were younger and more impressionable.
@@Bonesawisready926 My point was that I am a person with a healthy amount of self esteem and I was effected by it in a short time span. I can't imagine what it does to people who already had insincerities.
plastic surgeries for girls are like steroids for guys. I know of nobody who decided to get either not because of insecurities and jealousness caused by social media
@@HebiNoMe It's pressure they put on themselves. It's their own perception that others are more beautiful than themselves. They are victim of their own beauty standards, which stems from their own insecurities about themselves, while those they try to imitate are in the same boat.
The only thing that will clear up body image insecurities immediately is Jesus Christ. Just acknowledging that we are all made in God's image. And God made us perfectly how he meant us to be. We all look different for a reason, partly to identify each other aside from using names, partly because God loves variety. Partly because of what trials and tribulations we may go through in life.
"& now even men"... no one considers the possibility that the "triple six standard" may be oncoming from companies. By using the same marketing tactics they've used on women for decades to poke at insecurities, they tap into an untouched market to double their profit... men.
Until I got into yoga & pilates classes I didn't even have an IG. Unfortunately IG is the primary place most yoga studios promote themselves + network with local instructors so... Now I'm on IG and it's hilarious to me. I'm a guy, but because so many of the business accounts I'm friends with are yoga studios I get endless "advertisements for women" in my feed. The yoga pants ads are easily the funniest, they stop just short of claiming their pants will change the way you personally feel about yourself. 😂
I feel fine no longer having an insta/facebook/snap. Never bothered with twitter or TikTok either. So long as you have meaningful things to do in your life you won’t crave it
Its so weird to me. Im a man, and I don't recall ever hearing about a man demanding their woman to get any surgery done to them. None whatsoever. Its literally just peer pressure/social pressure. Its sickening. Its gotta stop
A man begging or asking a woman to do a very particular one though, that's a "duh" thing on why they ask. But it doesn't mean it's popular or a good decision either.
that's the whole point, there's no external figures demanding you to do stuff anymore. depression exists and it's massive now because everyone is their own master, and their own punisher. the false sense of freedom that we have is causing this aesthetics frenzy collapse.
It's not so simple. Society is dynamic, when societal standards/norms of beauty, behaviour, and consumption habits change you either follow the trend or get left behind. Even if you never have a social media account in your life, you are still impacted by literally everyone else who has one.
When I was in middle school/high school I was very insecure about my body because of how skinny I was, and my appearance because I lacked confidence in myself. after I graduated I started working out, stopped using social media, stopped comparing myself to others, and started focusing on improving myself instead of looking for a girl to date and I can say ever since I started doing that I've gained more confidence in myself than I thought possible. I feel like I can stand on anything, and I am proud of who I am now. Just improve yourself and forget about what others say/think. You can come a long way.
I think the saddest thing about this is most of the mindset of these women (and some men) is perpetuated by other people saying they could use a noselift or facelift instead of telling you that you should be comfortable the way you are and if you want to be more attractive be nice to people and get fit, and have a healthy lifestyle. No one needs plastic in their face unless they've had an accident or birth defect and feel like they want it
@@radiantveggies9348 I've never known anyone who said to a man that they'd be perfect if they just had a certain surgery to "fix" something about their appearance, but I've known a LOT of women who've been told that. Sometimes by men, often by other women. It isn't worse for men at all. You likely just think it is because you don't feel good about yourself and have too high expectations for potential mates.
@@radiantveggies9348 I'm wrong..? About me, myself, the person speaking, having never known anyone like that? Or that you're insecure? Because only someone who's insecure would try and make it about how it's worse for just one kind of person, as if they're all the same and have the same experiences and are actually just copies of you. It's not worse for anyone, everything is difficult for everyone. Your perspective is what's important. If you spend your life telling yourself it's harder for you than others, you become weak and resentful and start blaming everyone else for your own shortcomings. Your replies probably weren't very nice if they kept getting deleted. How you speak to others is important too.
I’ve been off social media besides TH-cam for almost a year and it’s probably the best thing I’ve ever done. I’ve considered going back to insta to promote my YT but I’m afraid to go back the doom scrolling and comparisons. Everyone has a different relationship with social media and you know what they say, everything in moderation. Staying observant on the content your watching or the time you spend on these apps is everything. Looking back, I’m truly blessed to have grown up in an age of limited tech and social media platforms. I’m worried for the future generations tho.
Hey, I totally agree. No longer on other apps and it's literally liberating especially in the sense of comparison even if it's not intentional it happens. I still use TH-cam to keep up with current affairs. Good luck with your channel!
It depends on the camera but I was taught that 50mm lenses were the most accurate to the dimensions on a full frame camera. It used to be the cheapest too because it didn't have a lot of extra parts internally needed for telephoto, zoom or wide-angle. It was basic and I think that seemed boring to some people but it might be useful for portraying truthfulness in journalism or if you need something you are photographing to be as accurate as possible.
I work for a plastic surgery office connected to a hospital, though we do occasionally do cosmetic stuff too... it has just made me more convinced than ever that even if i age like an old hag, I'll still be better looking than most of the women i see come in for "maintenance". You can INSTANTLY tell who is there for cosmetic vs anything else...
If you’re a happy person who smiles often, the lines and wrinkles that develop are attractive. You look old yes but still attractive and friendly. Someone who frowns or scowls frequently will get wrinkles that make them unapproachable. Just be joyful and beautify will always be with you.
when i traveled to korea doctors would advertise their surgery on billboards and large screens in the subway, almost like the Dr was a rockstar, was pretty insane how much is invested into cosmetic surgery there.

Makeup is sort of a gateway drug too, because it shows women how effective certain changes can be. But because of the camera lens phenomenon, you get all these women who look great in a picture, but look like a Van Gogh painting up close. And the same goes for plastic surgery; even though that makes 'em look more like a Picasso.
Doing your Makeup also requires you to know exactly where the flaws in your face are. Even the smallest details, that you normally never would've noticed, can change how you need to do your makeup and become an ugly problem. If makeup didn't have a tendency to settle into fine lines, we'd probably see drastically less botox done on women
I was told by someone that I look exactly the same IRL as I do online. I always thought it was an insult personally, just because of the kind of person they were, but apparently it's not normal to look the same?
@@cottoncandykawaii2673but online & in person are 2 totally different things. The heavy makeup with highlight & contour women use now was only meant for camera & vid use to combat the way cams wash out & excentuate certain features.

Haven't used facebook since 2013. Never made an instagram, twitter, or tiktok account. I haven't watched TV or commercials that go with it for the same time frame. I haven't listened to the radio in my vehicle for the same time frame. A decade of no external influence besides people in person has been amazing.
As someone who had a pilonidal cyst removed, aka ingrown hairs causing infection by my tailbone area, needed surgery and months to recover before I could sit down again without being in absolute pain. The idea of going through such a procedure for a but lift has to be one of the dumbest thing I've heard of. The pain isn't just when your sitting, I couldn't walk for weeks, I spent the first week lying down all day with a mountain of pillows under my back, which gave me terrible back pains, but it was a million times better than putting weight on the wound, I won't get started on the severe constipation from the meds... Going through that to fix your insecurities is just extreme...
Dude ive been struggling with that for 2 years. I cant afford the surgery to remove it so i just have to pop it myself every week or so. Sometimes it gets really bad and i go to a local cheapo clinic to get it cleaned out for some 250 bucks and they give me some antibiotics that never work. I wish i could just be done with this its made my life so much worse. Especially because im a mechanic and i have to lie on my back all the time.

Women crying on IG about the unrealistic beauty standard of being slim --> "You poor thing" Men literally experiencing utter loneliness and misery --> "Uhh, get a life incel"
Society has pressures that we should change and people are individually responsible. Weight is going up and we have societal epidemic for obesity. Changing society to fix this is a positive. On a personal level, you’re responsible for your own weight. I met a girl who has been obese her whole life. There is no other way to be. I would blame her parents maybe and as she ages responsibly becomes hers. But that’s a hard thing to change if it’s the only way you’ve ever been. Society should be structured to benefit people and if we can better avoid problems we should. Even if people are individually responsible. Better not leave pitfalls around.
@@SirRivelion Exactly. More men are starting to lose sympathy for women over this too. I hope to live long enough to see the real AI bots, but pass before they turn on us. Imagine today's women competing with actual perfection you could just buy, it would give me a good laugh.
I’m guilty of being a heavy social media user, but there’s no doubt in my mind that this is the reason we are less community-oriented and so divided today. It’s literally made everyone a narcissist.
Heavily disagree with guys just need to work out.. I bench 365lb.. it doesnt help me one bit that women specifically want tall dudes.. i used to be on a dating site long ago.. i was told by a woman half a foot shorter than me that i should end my life because the world doesnt need short men.. i'm 5' 8"
She probably said that because she knew it would hurt you the most. Sorry you had to experience that. Stay in the gym brother. Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty. 🐢
Being tall is far worse when you are ugly. I am6'4 and women get a panic attack when I am three feet behind them in line at the grocery store at broad daylight. Became quite funny though after I realized I can't change it anyway
Being tall is the genetic lottery. I’m also 5’8, have an above average/good body after years of working out and I still feel outpaces by a pencil thin kid over 6 ft - even if I have better facial features. Ironically, girls want tall guys (something we can’t change), and guys want skinny girls (something they can change).
Hi! Small woman here. Don't listen to that witch, short men are awesome too. Please love yourself, I'm sure you will find your short queen someday. And always remember: personality >>>> height
It's not social media. It's society. And been present for the longest time. What? Now 10 layers of makeup is okay? We don't even know if there's a human face under all that shit. Plastic surgeries are under the skin, makeup is above. Same side of the coin. Truly pathetic.
It’s the erosion of religion honestly. Materialism was balanced. You could only go so far before you were looked down upon for being materialistic. It’s not that there was never any materialism ever. It’s just that you had to maintain the appearance of not being over materialistic. This might mean getting a nose job but lying about having breathing issues or exaggerating them. I dunno what the solution is but a rise in Christianity would automatically fix a lot of it.
@@Bonesawisready926 Accountability is a great part of it. In order to be accountable you have to know they are being accountable to. If society (which includes their parents most importantly) has led them astray and/or encouraged bad choices and poor logic, then accountability comes after the error. Im not excusing it by stating the origin of the problem. Our world is fucking screwed and that is hard to accept for you and many others. Its easy to offload blame, but there is a serious fucking problem with our society and world society. We are extremely mentally ill as a species at this late date and time.
@@Janaesp12 Society or biology? I'd say both. We need to teach girls to be more self-confident and self-sufficient and not to so easily go along with the flow because of friends, fashion etc. like they so often do.
Instagram is not the cause, the insecurity of people is, wanting to look like and to be someone else than themselves, it is a mental disorder that is fed by media and the society around them.
Never used Instagram and I feel like I lost nothing. Only last year I made an account that didn't use until this year just to post drawings of Pokemans done wrong for some friends. Sometimes I feel like a caveman because of how little I understand technology and don't use it. And other times I'm grateful for it.

I do not believe it's instagram's fault. The woman who made herself look like a lion existed before tiktok and instagram. What's really happening is that plastic surgery is becoming more affordable and more mainstream, so more and more people can afford to do frivolous procedures based on vanity. Whether they do it for instagram followers or free drinks at the bar or a better chance at movie roles or because Korea has insane beauty standards it's all the same result.
There is a new study that shows that constant & prolonged use of sun screen has a higher result in skin cancer than normal exposure to the sun. The reason for this is the toxic chemicals in the VAST majority of sun screens (not the all natural sun screens like some plant oils and metal oxides like zinc or titanium oxide). The research also noted that these chemical sun screens can pre-maturely age the skin, which seems like it may be causing the exact things people are trying to prevent which seems to have become the norm for so many products and medical procedures of the modern day.
40:58 Like that quest from Cyberpunk 2077 where you follow a woman who is supposedly cheatin' on his husband because "the kid doesn't look like her" and then you discover that she was ugly asf and she got surgeries all over her body face hair etc so that why the kid looks so different because it holds her genes and original look.
As a woman, Facebook and Instagram are going to be the death of natural beauty. Plastic is the new look, and everyone is trying to look the same. Unique and alternative beauty is no longer valued, instead its shoved in a box and slowly brainwashed into thinking they need to change.
Not everyone. Perhaps everyone you see on social media. But not everyone on social media. And not everyone is on social media. You're mistaking what you see for all that there is. It's not.
Yes and no. The hypocrites are exposed and the non-hypocrites are changed and develop insecurities and/or narcissism from the lack of attention or too much attention.
Never had any from the getgo, oh damn there was a dating app with flagrant women all wanting to have my baby but it took me about 2 days to realize they were all batshit crazy so it sobered me up real fast 🙏 And yes I am considered a freak when people try to communicate through text/mail even , just too busy watching other people implode on youtube I guess its the strange sad world were trying to cope with.
I love how they do all this kinda crap to step over each other but blame men on "setting beauty standards". They feel insecure by looking at other women, men have nothing to do with it.
Kind of tangential, but I think this is why Star Wars, MCU, and now 40K unfortunately are trying to court female customers, because they are much looser with their money and more easily manipulated by status and fomo than men. More reliable revenue stream if you can poach them.
Pretty much... I mean, IG keeps showing me steroid freaks every day, but I never cried in the shower about how I don't look as buff as them. Men just don't care as much. Which is why the whole argument "society pushes unrealistic beauty standards on women" is ridiculous. Your beauty standard is to be slim. My beauty standard is to be 6"5, with a gigachad hairline and Thor's physique. Who has it worse exactly lol?
@@VarthalabauHair No, men just need good paying job to be seen attractive in society while women need to look beautiful as possible with a lot of makeup and have docile personality who cooks/cleans and takes care of the child mainly alone.

Women prefer the man to be slightly taller. Also it's better in bed when you're of similar height. The whole tall thing is just a societal construct that someone made ya believe.
Honestly mewing work great cause it align your jaw to the normal rest posture. It also teach you how to normalize breath in/out without using your mouth. It depends on everyone experience.

Asmon self-told how much instagram has impacted his oppinions of women's appearance when he claimed the girl on the right wins hands down over the girl on the left. They were comperable, out of 10 within half a point of each other. If you dont think so, you likely have a strong preference (possibly based on race/racial norms, pretty common) or spend too much time on these apps. Dudes may not be getting surgeries from insta, but insta is still incredibly damaging to them.

Btw, it is not specifically the lense, but the distance you take the photo. When you take a selfie you are like 10-30cm away from your face, which is way too close, so the phone must use a wide angle lense to capture your face. If you take a photo 2 meters away you will look better. Here it does not matter if you use a wide angle lense or a zoomed in lense, you will look the same, but the zoomed in lense will be better cus it shows more you and less the surroundings. But if you crop the wide angle photo you will get the exact same look as the zoomed in lense. Wide angle does not stretch anything, it just shows more of the sides. When you take a photo very close your nose will be big and ears small no matter what lense you use. This is because of the angle the light hits the camera. The distance from ear to camera is twice the distance from nose to camera. If you move back 2 meters the distance is almost the same, therefore it looks way better. If you use a selfie stick and zoom in it will look way better.
2:14 Incorrect. It's not the camera lens. It's because we are used to looking at our reflections so when we see ourselves in pictures, where our images aren't mirrored, we look different / odd to ourselves. Ironically this is what everyone sees all the time. There's actually a name for this phenomenon and even a VSauce video about it.
Not incorrect. Look up photos for “focal length portrait comparison”. There’s a reason professional portraits are usually taken with an 85-200mm focal length. Your standard phone camera focal length is around 24mm-35mm.
IG and Tik Tok used the same marketing strategy that basically every bar/club used before: Step 1: Bring hot women Step 2: Hot women attract men Step 3: Profit
people saying mewing is fake is insane. My dentist told me to do it when I was a little child (20+ years ago) to avoid complications with wisdom teeth or something. It worked.
Regarding looking in the mirror and taking a picture you have to understand focal lengths and lighting. Your eyes perceive things at 50mm focal length your phone takes pictures at 35mm. So taking a picture like the one in the mirror is impossible with your phone unless you can change the lens.
I remember when I first started using instagram I was like 15, the reason why it’s so popular among us was the filter allowed us to be creative while sharing our best moments. But now it just give us depression.
There was a short period of time in the 80s and 90s where punk rockers didn’t hide their acne, didn’t wear expensive outfits, and would just look like some random guys got on stage and rocked out. It was fantastic. It was real antiestablishmentism. I miss the days when being authentic was cooler than being fake.
They also didn't use auto tune, their voices were imperfect, instruments not fully tuned. The imperfections made it all feel real.

A part of the 18.1% of plastic surgeries being patients aged 13-19 is removing skin lesions and other stuff that either goes wrong during puberty, or was postponed to later teens because there was a chance it would fix itself or it becomes safer to fix once the facial shape changes of puberty are over.
I had an underbite that would cost me my molars (ability to chew food) by 30 and had to get a $50,000 upper jaw surgery which was paid for by Medicaid at 18 years old once my bones stopped growing at the end of puberty. It took over a year to fully recover and gain feeling back in my face from the nerves they bruised and honestly I cannot understand why someone would go through that just for cosmetics even though its more common than having an actual medical reason for it like in my case. 0/10 would not want to eat from a syringe again.

I like to call it the "popular girl effect". Pre social media, most girls/women in a school, neighborhood, or community mostly emulated the most popular group of girls/women. But now the popular girl is social media and it has gone worldwide. The more potential attention and validation they can receive, the further they'll go.

Just a heads-up about taking your own picture with a camera:
What we see in the mirror is merely our reflection. But no matter how symmetrical we might think our faces are, we don't actually look like our reflection. Not only that, but mirrors only allow us to see ourselves from a fixed angle. Turning your head around doesn't really change that - the focus is still placed towards your eyes. However, other people can see what we ACTUALLY look like, from all sorts of angles.
Because we are only used to our reflection, whenever we see a photo of us, or see ourselves moving in a video, we always tend to get this feeling that we look weird somehow. However, to other people looking at the same photo or video of ourselves, we'll come across as normal. This is why it's always best to ask someone else to judge if you look bad in a photo, and why you'll sometimes come across situations where everyone will say they love this particular photo of you, even though you think you look HIDEOUS in it.
This is the main reason why people tend to not like photos and pictures of themselves. The selfie cameras on phones help this by mirroring the image. That is why it's a lot easier to take a picture of yourself that you like using the selfie camera, but why you'll cringe whenever you see your photo in the class yearbook. Camera lens does play a part in it somewhat, but that's stepping into professional photography. Depending on the lens that you use (and the lighting), you are able to change how attractive someone gets perceived. But this is only a minor reason. In fact, lighting plays a much bigger role than the actual camera lens does most of the time.
The way you look in the mirror is actually closer to how you look to other people that know you.
Other people filter out the same asymmetries in our face that we filter out after just 3 months of knowing us. They filter out the imperfections, the little ugly things that bother us in pictures.
This can be proven, just look at a friend/partner in the mirror, youll see how they actually look, and how they themselves see themselves in pictures.
But normally, your mirror self is closer to how you look than pictures are. Pictures are also heavily distorted due to lens-distortion. Just taking selfies from further away will already make you look miles better and closer to how you look in the mirror, because mirror us is seen by two lenses, not one heavily distorted one.
What does it mean when you hate how you look in selfies but think you look amazing in the yearbook photos?
@@kinghash29 Probably means you're using a bad selfie camera or don't like the way you look in general, but yearbook camera was able to get a nice one of you.
As a guy who works out, I can say that's not enough. The buff body just becomes your new normality, and you find a new quality of yours to be insecure about.

Working out is always better than not working out though. The other thing guys need is confidence which is not as straightforward to obtain.
Fr, ive gotten to the point where i receive compliments when i go to the pool for my daily laps. The thing is that im still thinking about how bad my face is.... i even joke about the gym needing a face machine so i can look better. That also affects my mental health because i think im not good enough for anyone, so i just stay away. Then i get social anxiety when someone wants to talk to me bc im used to feeling so small that any interaction feels like im in the way. Idk if i deviated and just spilled but i dont agree with asmon. "Just working out" is not enough.
However crazy this sounds as a Gen Z who grew up with Instagram and every other social media in school from age 11 in school, we never had the space to ‘find ourselves’ and get to grips with the world and DO real things. Explore real places. Make mistakes and learn. We just found other people. And what they’re doing. Relentless comparisons. Depleted self esteem. Depleted self worth.

From your comment, I assume you did not have that or had very little of that. You grew up in a time when all this SNS was already there. Sure, it was your choice but is it really a choice when a child has to make the decision? I am not going to call you a victim, but still.

Then she wanted to destroy her face with plastic surgery because she hated her nose. She always looked at social media to see her old highschool classmates become Instagram models, which made her jealous.

@@natediaz1863* most girls. My partner doesn't use social media. She doesn't watch movies or tv shows. She lives in reality instead of on the internet. Most of the photos on her phone is of our kids. She has like 2 or 3 selfies that are like 5 years old or older. She hates tattoos and she doesn't wear make up most of the time. When she does it's a very small amount. She would never do anything like plastic surgery. She think it's stupid and make you look like a clown. She doesn't believe in astrology or magic shit. She's too smart for that stuff.

"If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" - someone who is NEVER at their best
I remember setting up a date with some girl in college through social media. I was always honest with my appearance online, so I naively expected the same from others. You can guess where this is going... she practically catfished me. She did not look AT ALL like her photos. Fair enough since, in retrospect, I know almost everyone does this. What absolutely blew me away was how she reacted when I met her at the restaurant we were going to. The first words out of her mouth were, "WOW! You look exactly like your photos!" Is that not what photos are supposed to be????? Clearly not.
I'm the same, and had someone say exactly the same thing to me. Why would I make my photos look like someone else if you're ever going to see me in person? That's.. catfishing? I'm also really not insecure at all about how I look, there's far more interesting things about me than my appearance. If the only way to make someone like you is to look a certain way, I'm fine with them not liking me 🤷🏼♀️
I love how sexy women in games are harmful to real women, setting unachievable standards so they must be remove and then instagram is like it's free real estate and not one activist is saying anything against it
I know of two german female youtubers (they are neither activists nor radical in their beliefs in any way) who have spoken up against plastic surgery. They have also had surgery themselves and know what they are talking about. They have never blamed men or video games. After all, women do it for themselves.
Pretty much why feminism is a joke, it's used by the beauty industry as a way to promote plastic surgery, expensive clothing, and overall vapid consumerism under the guise of "empowerment". And that's the light version of it, if you don't want to go conspiracy theory mode...
@Interdacted tbf anime dudes are mostly talking about girl attitude vs the anime girl attitude , who are a lot more passive and willing to listen, I mean older 90s anime aren't exactly attractive to begin with but they still love them for who they are cause of their characteristic
This is only true if you only following gaming, movies and series where discussions are going on online. Plenty of people are talking against unneeded surgery, but probably not in a sphere you follow^^ Its also a fact that very few actually care about what is going on in gaming, but its more of a mountain top to plant a flag on compared to a choice made by women by the minority that are chronically online.
Yet the women in the games are based on real women and the ones on social media promote a unrealistic beauty standard.
how ugly do you have to _feel_ in order to get any of these things done to you..
I mean like you said, it's a feel. Emotions are pretty arbitrary and depend on what your monkey brain is thinking it needs to survive at the moment
how short do you have to be to get rods added to your legs to give you a few inches? it's all insecurities people build up in their mind and cant stop thinking about it.
i got a hair transplant when i was 20, i’m 25 now and i shave my head because i like how it suits me. my point is people make stupid decisions and alter their body which means their future self will have to pay for it.
Uglyness is only partly subjective though. Some men and women are objectively hideous but they have to understand that botox will not help in any way.
When your entire life revolves around your looks... It's pretty easy
When you realize this isn't just a 1st world problem and even african women the Ndebele tribe who stretch their necks with rings as a symbol of maturity, age and beauty will hurt themselves, break bones purposely just to fit more rings at early ages

I'm a girl, was bullied significantly for a "flaw" (wider forehead) by a group of older girls who I didn't even know and it crushed my self esteem. Over the years I considered getting cosmetic surgery to lower my hairline and so on, but ultimately I've settled on no. I have been using photoshop professionally for many years, so I've taken photos and lowered the hairline/tried to decrease the size of my forehead but my face never looks right proportionally. Something looks off even if I just lower it an inch.
I had cosmetic surgery on my lip when I was a baby. At this point the only thing I'm interested in getting cosmetic procedures to fix is my teeth, but that's mostly health related with a hint of cosmetic.
I don't need much work aside from that, my skin is acne prone but okay, my body isn't even that bad yea I would like a flatter/more toned stomach but if an inch of lower stomach fat is the turn off I think it says more about the other person than it says about me, my face isn't awful, and considering altering my forehead would mess up my facial proportion I don't even think that it's anything to feel insecure about anymore. If I hate it I can just get bangs, problem solved.
It's upsetting that many girls my age don't see all of the stuff on social media for what it is, or simply cannot see it for themselves without somebody having to go to a length to prove it to them. I can't say it a lot but I'm actually quite lucky I guess.
This is really dependent on who is surrounding you and the fact that your “flaw” probably isn’t that prominent. You felt insecure about your forehead due to those who bullied you a long while back, but currently the people around you don’t seem to care so it’s easy for you not to care as well. However, if your “flaw” was more glaring to the standards around you, you might still long to get work done. Standards vary a lot depending on where you live, how attractive your friends are, where you hang, your profession, etc. It’s not that many girls “can’t see” that social media is smoke and mirrors. It’s that they live different lives than you. They might long to work in sales or entertainment where the standards are higher or have a terrible mother who calls them ugly. It might say much more about the people who judge you, but if that person is someone you respected, it’s harder to ignore.
i know you didnt ask for a tip but here it goes, maybe helps any other who reads this. If you ever feel like something is off in you just ignore it and pretent you are the madafkin brad pitt or angelina jolie. sometimes people will believe what you believe and having confidence is key. also most importantly, there is all kinds of beaty and just becouse you dont have a perfect nose or a perfect jaw doesnt mean you are not beatiful /handsome
@@MalignantGarden The point of bringing this up, much like the video, is not to go out and change a perceived flaw. It's actually the exact opposite.
You can ask the same to others, "Was it really that hard to just go under the knife to get that one thing fixed?"
The problem is that when you "fix" one perceived flaw, another arises. You'll forever be chasing to "fix" these perceived flaws and you'll ruin your natural beauty/health in doing so and waste your life away chasing it.
Unfortunately once this cycle of thinking begins, it's very hard to break it.
In reality nobody should feel they have to change their own style or their own features just to appease somebody else or to meet somebody else's standards of how one should look. I wasn't a model then, never wanted to be a model, and still am not a model now, so why should it matter so much whether my forehead is slightly larger or not..?
Young people now get to scroll through Instagram, seeing heavily filtered and edited photos that were carefully selected by the creator out of the thousands of photos they take, to make sure they're portrayed in the most envious light, and the problem here is that young people are comparing themselves to these images because these fake images are all they see.
They then apply this fake reality and extreme, rigid expectations to themselves and everyone around them. When people inevitably do not live up to those standards, they receive hate.. much like I did.
Yes, I could have gotten bangs. Sure, let's go with that. And I guarantee you the following week I'd be bullied about another physical feature. Maybe I'll go fix that too, then when I do I'll get bullied for another physical feature. It's a never ending cycle, extremely difficult to not fall victim to, but it's crucial for your own health to resist falling into that negative spiral of thinking.
How are you doing these days, Megamind?
9/10 they were hotter before surgery too smdh. Perfection is a illusion we are a imperfect species we always will be. people need to learn to be content with themselves and change what can be changed naturally in a healthy manner.
95% of the time being confident about your flaw is sexier than not having it at all.
Remaining 5% is for really heavy blemishes you should take care of anyway, like serious burns, fucked up teeth or visibly broken and crooked nose.
95% of the time you actually don’t notice a procedure when it looks fine because it wasn’t botched…you just notice the fails that negatively impact the attractiveness

@@gungie2468Naw, most of these chicks go to the same offices, and end up looking samey. It’s very obvious to anyone that frequents social media.
Nope it's more like 4/10. The problem with good plastic surgery is that you don't notice it.

@@HebiNoMe It's pressure they put on themselves. It's their own perception that others are more beautiful than themselves. They are victim of their own beauty standards, which stems from their own insecurities about themselves, while those they try to imitate are in the same boat.
The only thing that will clear up body image insecurities immediately is Jesus Christ. Just acknowledging that we are all made in God's image. And God made us perfectly how he meant us to be. We all look different for a reason, partly to identify each other aside from using names, partly because God loves variety. Partly because of what trials and tribulations we may go through in life.

Until I got into yoga & pilates classes I didn't even have an IG. Unfortunately IG is the primary place most yoga studios promote themselves + network with local instructors so...
Now I'm on IG and it's hilarious to me. I'm a guy, but because so many of the business accounts I'm friends with are yoga studios I get endless "advertisements for women" in my feed.
The yoga pants ads are easily the funniest, they stop just short of claiming their pants will change the way you personally feel about yourself. 😂

Yup, get a hobby. These comments are the closest I get to social media.
Its so weird to me. Im a man, and I don't recall ever hearing about a man demanding their woman to get any surgery done to them. None whatsoever. Its literally just peer pressure/social pressure. Its sickening. Its gotta stop

It's not so simple. Society is dynamic, when societal standards/norms of beauty, behaviour, and consumption habits change you either follow the trend or get left behind. Even if you never have a social media account in your life, you are still impacted by literally everyone else who has one.
@DanteS-119.... what
There was also a perception of the younger generation at the time that Facebook was for their parents, and Instagram was for younger people.
When I was in middle school/high school I was very insecure about my body because of how skinny I was, and my appearance because I lacked confidence in myself. after I graduated I started working out, stopped using social media, stopped comparing myself to others, and started focusing on improving myself instead of looking for a girl to date and I can say ever since I started doing that I've gained more confidence in myself than I thought possible. I feel like I can stand on anything, and I am proud of who I am now. Just improve yourself and forget about what others say/think. You can come a long way.

I think the saddest thing about this is most of the mindset of these women (and some men) is perpetuated by other people saying they could use a noselift or facelift instead of telling you that you should be comfortable the way you are and if you want to be more attractive be nice to people and get fit, and have a healthy lifestyle. No one needs plastic in their face unless they've had an accident or birth defect and feel like they want it
The pressure is worse for men
@@radiantveggies9348 I've never known anyone who said to a man that they'd be perfect if they just had a certain surgery to "fix" something about their appearance, but I've known a LOT of women who've been told that.

@@radiantveggies9348 I'm wrong..? About me, myself, the person speaking, having never known anyone like that? Or that you're insecure? Because only someone who's insecure would try and make it about how it's worse for just one kind of person, as if they're all the same and have the same experiences and are actually just copies of you. It's not worse for anyone, everything is difficult for everyone. Your perspective is what's important. If you spend your life telling yourself it's harder for you than others, you become weak and resentful and start blaming everyone else for your own shortcomings. Your replies probably weren't very nice if they kept getting deleted. How you speak to others is important too.
I’ve been off social media besides TH-cam for almost a year and it’s probably the best thing I’ve ever done. I’ve considered going back to insta to promote my YT but I’m afraid to go back the doom scrolling and comparisons.
Everyone has a different relationship with social media and you know what they say, everything in moderation. Staying observant on the content your watching or the time you spend on these apps is everything.
Looking back, I’m truly blessed to have grown up in an age of limited tech and social media platforms. I’m worried for the future generations tho.
Hey, I totally agree. No longer on other apps and it's literally liberating especially in the sense of comparison even if it's not intentional it happens. I still use TH-cam to keep up with current affairs. Good luck with your channel!

It depends on the camera but I was taught that 50mm lenses were the most accurate to the dimensions on a full frame camera. It used to be the cheapest too because it didn't have a lot of extra parts internally needed for telephoto, zoom or wide-angle. It was basic and I think that seemed boring to some people but it might be useful for portraying truthfulness in journalism or if you need something you are photographing to be as accurate as possible.
I work for a plastic surgery office connected to a hospital, though we do occasionally do cosmetic stuff too... it has just made me more convinced than ever that even if i age like an old hag, I'll still be better looking than most of the women i see come in for "maintenance". You can INSTANTLY tell who is there for cosmetic vs anything else...
If you’re a happy person who smiles often, the lines and wrinkles that develop are attractive. You look old yes but still attractive and friendly.
Someone who frowns or scowls frequently will get wrinkles that make them unapproachable.
Just be joyful and beautify will always be with you.
I had to get plastic surgery on my nose because of the bullying and that was before social media existed. The beauty standards are brutal.

@@Kyuupire It just reveals their narcissism more. Most men lost in the woods would be concerned with finding food and water and making a shelter, but women think grape is at the forefront of all men's minds.
Makeup is sort of a gateway drug too, because it shows women how effective certain changes can be. But because of the camera lens phenomenon, you get all these women who look great in a picture, but look like a Van Gogh painting up close. And the same goes for plastic surgery; even though that makes 'em look more like a Picasso.
Doing your Makeup also requires you to know exactly where the flaws in your face are. Even the smallest details, that you normally never would've noticed, can change how you need to do your makeup and become an ugly problem. If makeup didn't have a tendency to settle into fine lines, we'd probably see drastically less botox done on women
I drive Lyft and 9 out of every 10 women never look like they do in the photo when I pull up to pick them up 😂
I was told by someone that I look exactly the same IRL as I do online. I always thought it was an insult personally, just because of the kind of person they were, but apparently it's not normal to look the same?
makeup is insane now with the average girl learning about things like contouring they can make themselves look like a totally different person
@@cottoncandykawaii2673but online & in person are 2 totally different things.

As someone who had a pilonidal cyst removed, aka ingrown hairs causing infection by my tailbone area, needed surgery and months to recover before I could sit down again without being in absolute pain. The idea of going through such a procedure for a but lift has to be one of the dumbest thing I've heard of. The pain isn't just when your sitting, I couldn't walk for weeks, I spent the first week lying down all day with a mountain of pillows under my back, which gave me terrible back pains, but it was a million times better than putting weight on the wound, I won't get started on the severe constipation from the meds...
Going through that to fix your insecurities is just extreme...
Dude ive been struggling with that for 2 years. I cant afford the surgery to remove it so i just have to pop it myself every week or so. Sometimes it gets really bad and i go to a local cheapo clinic to get it cleaned out for some 250 bucks and they give me some antibiotics that never work. I wish i could just be done with this its made my life so much worse. Especially because im a mechanic and i have to lie on my back all the time.

Being tall is far worse when you are ugly. I am6'4 and women get a panic attack when I am three feet behind them in line at the grocery store at broad daylight. Became quite funny though after I realized I can't change it anyway
Being tall is the genetic lottery. I’m also 5’8, have an above average/good body after years of working out and I still feel outpaces by a pencil thin kid over 6 ft - even if I have better facial features.

It’s the erosion of religion honestly. Materialism was balanced. You could only go so far before you were looked down upon for being materialistic.

What's really happening is that plastic surgery is becoming more affordable and more mainstream, so more and more people can afford to do frivolous procedures based on vanity. Whether they do it for instagram followers or free drinks at the bar or a better chance at movie roles or because Korea has insane beauty standards it's all the same result.
especially for dating apps filters actually make no sense. If i do not like the way you look in real life , whenever we meet that will not change
When I was still using tinder, I'd just leave if that happened. That's catfishing and is morally wrong.
@@Bonesawisready926 I agree. What I mean fundamentally it's irrational
There is a new study that shows that constant & prolonged use of sun screen has a higher result in skin cancer than normal exposure to the sun. The reason for this is the toxic chemicals in the VAST majority of sun screens (not the all natural sun screens like some plant oils and metal oxides like zinc or titanium oxide). The research also noted that these chemical sun screens can pre-maturely age the skin, which seems like it may be causing the exact things people are trying to prevent which seems to have become the norm for so many products and medical procedures of the modern day.
40:58 Like that quest from Cyberpunk 2077 where you follow a woman who is supposedly cheatin' on his husband because "the kid doesn't look like her" and then you discover that she was ugly asf and she got surgeries all over her body face hair etc so that why the kid looks so different because it holds her genes and original look.
How could she have cheated if the baby didn’t look like her? She’d still have had the baby unless she stole it. Modern game making, man.
As a woman, Facebook and Instagram are going to be the death of natural beauty. Plastic is the new look, and everyone is trying to look the same. Unique and alternative beauty is no longer valued, instead its shoved in a box and slowly brainwashed into thinking they need to change.
Not everyone. Perhaps everyone you see on social media. But not everyone on social media. And not everyone is on social media. You're mistaking what you see for all that there is. It's not.
idk why but your explanation about the phone vs mirror genuinely made me feel better
Instagram dictates a lot of peoples' culture, and it is an amplifier for whatever culture you adopt.
14:22 That surgeon had both Edge and Chrome open for his video tutorials... 😄
Women weren’t changed by social media, they were exposed. There’s a difference.
A lot of them were exposed as ugly on the inside.
Yes and no. The hypocrites are exposed and the non-hypocrites are changed and develop insecurities and/or narcissism from the lack of attention or too much attention.
You're right about working out making structure better, overall, I went from 450lbs to 250lbs. Pure exercise and diet. 😊
I dont even have facebook, instagram or twitter. None of that shit.
I got banned on everything anyway. lmfao
🤣 This is the way
Were you just being normal levels of based or did you go an extra mile? :D
@@orenn5439 Ill be humble and say normal levels. lol
Never had any from the getgo, oh damn there was a dating app with flagrant women all wanting to have my baby but it took me about 2 days to realize they were all batshit crazy so it sobered me up real fast 🙏
And yes I am considered a freak when people try to communicate through text/mail even , just too busy watching other people implode on youtube I guess its the strange sad world were trying to cope with.
Those before after shots, the after look like freaking Tim Burton characters.
I love how they do all this kinda crap to step over each other but blame men on "setting beauty standards". They feel insecure by looking at other women, men have nothing to do with it.
The hypocrisy of it all is what gets me
All social media has done is prove how easy it is to manipulate women…
Kind of tangential, but I think this is why Star Wars, MCU, and now 40K unfortunately are trying to court female customers, because they are much looser with their money and more easily manipulated by status and fomo than men. More reliable revenue stream if you can poach them.
Pretty much... I mean, IG keeps showing me steroid freaks every day, but I never cried in the shower about how I don't look as buff as them. Men just don't care as much. Which is why the whole argument "society pushes unrealistic beauty standards on women" is ridiculous. Your beauty standard is to be slim. My beauty standard is to be 6"5, with a gigachad hairline and Thor's physique. Who has it worse exactly lol?
@@VarthalabauHair No, men just need good paying job to be seen attractive in society while women need to look beautiful as possible with a lot of makeup and have docile personality who cooks/cleans and takes care of the child mainly alone. Just being slim as a women gets you nothing if you look ugly but an ugly even older guy can easily get a model if he is well off and we have seen plenty of that
@@kalliskivike Ok, then make a dating app profile as an average looking man with a great job and see how many matches you get. Then make one with an average woman and see how many matches you get. You will obviously mention the 10:1 men to women ration, ok let's test that, finally make a dating app profile of a 6'3" Chad and see how many matches that one gets.
I mean 6'3" Asmongold never considered how important height is to women when it comes to physical attractiveness.
Women prefer the man to be slightly taller. Also it's better in bed when you're of similar height. The whole tall thing is just a societal construct that someone made ya believe.
@@peckop1793 nice words small man
Honestly mewing work great cause it align your jaw to the normal rest posture. It also teach you how to normalize breath in/out without using your mouth. It depends on everyone experience.
I've practice mewing for couple of years now and i didn't snore at night when sleeping anymore. There some small change but honestly it doesn't matter that much.
Bro is looks maxing since 2010.
The og mewer.
Asmon self-told how much instagram has impacted his oppinions of women's appearance when he claimed the girl on the right wins hands down over the girl on the left.
They were comperable, out of 10 within half a point of each other. If you dont think so, you likely have a strong preference (possibly based on race/racial norms, pretty common) or spend too much time on these apps.
Dudes may not be getting surgeries from insta, but insta is still incredibly damaging to them.
When you stood up by imagine you were about to be like, 'even I got a BBL' and turn your posterior towards the camera
I recently looked up a chick on Instagram that I dated back in 2012, she looks completely unrecognizable now due to do all the clownish surgery she's had on her face. Shit is wild man
You definitely dodged that bullet.
Cant wait for the heat death of the universe
You're gonna be waiting a while for that event. It will only occur in, say 1.7×10^106 years.
Can't wait for the half-life of tellerium-128 to finish in 2.2 X 10^24 years. This is about 160 trillion times longer than the universes current age.
We live in the greatest time in all of history bro. 😢
@@daleseb339 No, we don't and that is completely subjective anyway. You live in THIS era, what makes you think it is appropriate to assess what it is like living in all other eras you didn't exist in and then judge yours as the best?
That is the most biased thing I've ever heard.
social media and dating apps are the worst things that happened to the internet
The internet is the worst thing to happen to civilisation
@@empyrealcultist1992 at first it was ok, in the 90s and maybe up to 2003 or 2004, it was a place of freedom, sharing, it was more fun. then it got corporate and social media corrupted it.
well... to be honest sometimes I wish all digital stuff in the world got wiped out and we went back to 1970 levels of technology to have a fresh start.
@@empyrealcultist1992 No it was okay until social media appeared and pulled in all the mainstream normies.
Btw, it is not specifically the lense, but the distance you take the photo. When you take a selfie you are like 10-30cm away from your face, which is way too close, so the phone must use a wide angle lense to capture your face. If you take a photo 2 meters away you will look better. Here it does not matter if you use a wide angle lense or a zoomed in lense, you will look the same, but the zoomed in lense will be better cus it shows more you and less the surroundings. But if you crop the wide angle photo you will get the exact same look as the zoomed in lense.
Wide angle does not stretch anything, it just shows more of the sides. When you take a photo very close your nose will be big and ears small no matter what lense you use. This is because of the angle the light hits the camera. The distance from ear to camera is twice the distance from nose to camera. If you move back 2 meters the distance is almost the same, therefore it looks way better.
If you use a selfie stick and zoom in it will look way better.
2:14 Incorrect. It's not the camera lens. It's because we are used to looking at our reflections so when we see ourselves in pictures, where our images aren't mirrored, we look different / odd to ourselves. Ironically this is what everyone sees all the time. There's actually a name for this phenomenon and even a VSauce video about it.
Not incorrect. Look up photos for “focal length portrait comparison”. There’s a reason professional portraits are usually taken with an 85-200mm focal length. Your standard phone camera focal length is around 24mm-35mm.
Lens is also true and what you said is true
Instagram and Tik tok are basically for women. Lonely guys make them popular
IG and Tik Tok used the same marketing strategy that basically every bar/club used before:
Step 1: Bring hot women
Step 2: Hot women attract men
Step 3: Profit
people saying mewing is fake is insane. My dentist told me to do it when I was a little child (20+ years ago) to avoid complications with wisdom teeth or something. It worked.
How so?
Regarding looking in the mirror and taking a picture you have to understand focal lengths and lighting. Your eyes perceive things at 50mm focal length your phone takes pictures at 35mm. So taking a picture like the one in the mirror is impossible with your phone unless you can change the lens.
I remember when I first started using instagram I was like 15, the reason why it’s so popular among us was the filter allowed us to be creative while sharing our best moments. But now it just give us depression.
