Typically, the silicone torsos are used in cosplay by women cosplaying men or by drag kings in conjunction with a binder to create a male figure. I wasn't aware it was used for looksmaxxing too though...
@@peggy_bobeggy Yeah, the body dismorphia in men's beauty stardards continues to worsen, to a point that they had to resort to drag king methods to look even more like men XD
"It's giving the rich CEO character from a manhwa" YES 😭😭 they all look exactly like this, I thought it was the author's lack of ability with body proportion but it's actually the beauty standard wtf
It's both actually. Especially when they make the character huge but the muscles so small they have to keep adding abs to fill out space lol Sometimes you find a gem where the anatomy is so good they manage to make a character look big and strong without looking like a blow up doll on steroids
Men's lashes and eyebrows being treated as something unattractive is funny considering that men tend to have longer and thicker lashes and brows than women.
everything you don´t have is what you want and what you have is what you don´t want is how it has been for ages with beauty standards. As a woman we were constantly busy with beauty XD
And considering the fact that most people I know (who are attracted to men) find long eyelashes on men super attractive (and I am one of those people too)
hey just in case you were considering constant use of insoles to "heightmaxx" please also be aware that studies have shown women who wear heels over a long period of time can develop severe foot pain and other issues and this also applies to men who wear insoles daily as it affects the way you walk in a similar fashion
yea and they also tend to be more angry while whearing them, dont think its worth 50% more pain and 50% more anger for 5% added to sex appeal stat, expecialy becuase that 5050 REMOVES a good 40% from "sex appeal"
I don't know maybe some woman want to feel pain everyday But not me, I never wear high heels in my entire life I'm short woman but I don't feel the need to deceive other to look like I few inches taller than my actual height
@@ram47863It's not about height for women. High heels push our butts outward and make our thigh muscles look more toned. I think even the breasts get pushed forward. Walking properly in heels can look sensual as well because of hip movements.
@@ram47863girl we like being short that’s never what it was about it draws attention the the legs allows you to wear long dresses and like someone said it makes ur butt look way better
I dare say we havent changed at all honestly. We may have different terms, different tools and methods. But that warped core is still at the centre. The industrial revolution hecked us all up
@elvingearmasterirma7241 Not even just the industrial revolution. Look at the body altercations of what tribes do/did to themselves for beauty. Just another aspect of humanity itself lol. I think we are getting a *bit* better about it being less deadly and damaging as a whole compared to the past.
“People are achieving peak yaoi physique without even knowing” omg this is so spot on 😭 they all look like the hot chaebol ML of a smutty BL manhwa… i’m wheezing
The scary thing is, that all these people using filters to "enhance" their appearance, are already stunning! They'd easily make anyone take a second glance, but seeing how insecure they are (not their fault - we as a society have failed to make people appreciate natural beauty) that have to resort to filters (not to mention how they are now considered "common" or even "essential" for photography) is just sad :( Worse is, that the people in their comment sections encourage this behaviour leading the creator to think that their real self isn't "ideal" or "desirable" enough, and that they need to keep up the facade of being "perfect", no matter if it comes at the cost of their physical or mental health (more often both)
There was a lot of surreal stuff in this video, but these fake belly buttons actually had me go WTAF and stare in disbelief for far longer than the segment lasted 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beauty standards is reaching dystopian levels 😬 i notice myself becoming more insecure as new trends appear. Its hard loving your natural appearance when you are surrounded by artificial beauty...

Thank you for this. It made me happy and made my insecurities fade a bit. As a 5'5'' Filipino, it made me feel like I lacked height, I am not muscular enough (I went from 42kgs to 75kgs then down to 60kgs). But this time I have been working out because I found out I have a mild scoliosis. I was scared that it might affect much when I get older so I tried strength training and eating healthier (as a 5'5", my body felt heavy when I went 75kgs and I couldn't run properly). "you look so thin" | "you look so fat" I have received both ends and no matter where I go, there are always those comments. Thank you for this cause it made me realize it's all bullshit. Being healthy is top priority. Hospital bills won't get paid with Looksmaxxing.

Hold on, we are now putting fake belly buttons on ourselves?! How are people finding these small details to get hung up on, turning over rocks to unlock a new insecurity these days. Lunacy. And since when did women want broad shoulders?!? Having them is one of MY insecurities 🤣🤣

I want the belly button stickers!!! It would be so fun to paste them where they shouldn't be (like my back or neck or upper arm), and watch people get weirded out.
Everyone wants to look exactly the same. Actually, everyone wants perfection, but most people's idea of perfection are similar due to online trends, and it's so boring, the world needs variation. We are so used to filters and editing and even surgery, that most people don't even know what a natural body/face looks like anymore. It's getting so depressing tbh...
There was a Twilight Zone episode of a world where everyone got plastic surgery when they were a certain age, and you had to pick from a face in a book. Everybody had to do it, and only the faces in the book were allowed. One girl did not want to do it, and ran away to avoid changing her face. In the end, they caught her and when she woke up, she had one of the faces from the book. I just cannot forget that episode, it turns out it predicted the future.
Yup. I told my (much younger) her sister back in early 2000s that everyone was trying so hard to look different yet all ended up the same. Nothing’s changed

Dude the guy who said girls since the beginning of time is so right. Guys are only just now discovering how it feels to have a constant judgemental gaze on you, while we have been in competition with each other for the male gaze since time immemorial. We’ve been looksmaxxing since birth, through dressing rooms with our moms to posting on social media.
Uh, yeah. Men were oblivious because we were judged and what we did moreso than how we looked. But now the dating market reflects that looking like a walking skid mark will sully your chances of a relationship regardless of having the cure to cancer. So looksmaxx or cope with getting zero bitches were the options men are left with, without the advantage of starting from young like most women.
Have you considered why that is? Until only recently, men have provided far more than just looks. It's only through scientific and technological progress as well as government socialistic policies that a man is now reduced to his looks. With government subsidies and safety nets and tech like birth control pills, men would still be valued for their utility. When govt becomes a sugar daddy, a virtual husband, an entity that will keep you afloat even if you have 3 kids with 3 different guys, you end up here. If for whatever reason humanity gets sent back to the dark ages, men will once again be sought after for their utility.
Yeah, you're right. But unlike women, men will chip away at every intricacy of looking good instead of the feeling of looking good based on beauty standards, and rather the evolutionary standard of what makes somebody hot.
Good. I'm always right there for this sh*t show to be called out 💆 it seems he didn't want to miss the opportunity to sprinkle this in, but "toxic" still feels like an understatement.
I think some of the people forget that different people consider different things attractive. For example, one of my favourite types of noses are wide with big nose drills or the crooked ones. And on the contrary I find the upturned noses not very attractive (there are exceptions of course). Also, as an artist I think that "non-ideal" facial features are making a person look more interesting. And why we are so concentrated on looks anyway? I will consider you beautiful if I like you, I'm used to you and you interest me. Because everyone can be beautiful without changing their looks, everyone has something both in their physical appearance and in their personality to attract someone.
Tell that to the ugly people who are always looking for the best mest in toen while they dont have anything else to offer....its because of them, people become sperficial and having high standards, how do you feel when you get harrassed by ugly people all the time
I remember as a kid, there were people in the philippines who would pinch their nose bridges with clothes pins to make them less flat and more pointy. We really are going back to the early 2000s.
YES, thank you for confirming this!! I made a post that I remember hearing about the clothespin thing. I'm so glad I scrolled through the comments now! 💖
I don’t mean this in a bad way at all but you’re the only commentary TH-camr that adds their blank reaction next to clips they play and it’s hilarious to me
Every time I see that you posted a new video I sit there like "ok, what's the latest weird trend of the month this time?"- as always super entertaining to watch.
I come from a short family on both sides but hit the dna lottery and ended up nearly 6ft tall as a young woman, and I have always stanned a short king. Gimme a 5'4" man who adores me instead of a 6'4" asshole who can't boyfriend properly.
Well do your parents freak out when you mention a fun DNA ancestry test for the family? haha But yeah so much is genetics, my mom was asian short and my father not very tall. I ended up short and my brother had teachers concerned in his teens because puberty was later than the dutch guys but no, that was just his asian side, when he did start puberty he got dutch tall, taking that part of the family genetics. But those genetics were alreday in the family, just skipped a few people. Females in particular.
The saddest part is the fans of these people would be like "omg yall are just jealous, it's not his fault the gym equipment bends when he's around, obviously he's so hot it bends metal..." and they really believe that a select few individuals can defy laws of physics and gravity 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 I have been on stan Twitter 🤣🤣What's funnier is there are groups and in that close groups they will be like guys we know that's the truth but still we have to fight it otherwise the rival fandom won't let us live peacefully
This honestly makes me so sad / frustrated. Personally I'm on a journey of realizing I actually AM insecure about just being myself; so much of it is from this hyper awareness of how we perceive people the first time thanks to the internet. It really doesn't matter that much, how much do I really care about first impressions? and just visual ones? As a trans man, it's hard to find people with a similar style or look to me and it makes me think 'hmm maybe I don't belong' instead of 'oh I'm just being myself'. Guys you DO BELONG. Your appearance is not YOU. Take a deep breath, maybe find art to make look how you want instead of your own appearance; it's not as important as tik tok wants us to think. Your body is simply a vessel through which you live life. Be yourself 2024!!
there is certainly a smidge of racism and colorism in these beauty standards. especially the flat nose! which is genetically common among SEAsians. East asians are racist towards SEAsians and use them as insults.
There's something disturbing about the exclusion of racial minorities in the beauty industry, followed by the literal appropriation of specific aspects of those minorities' bodies. Very body-snatcher, almost.
As someone who has to spend a lot of time upsizing shirts because of my huge shoulders what the hell is with the chicken cutlets. Also as a snowboarder? Put your damn clothes on you're going to get injured.
I have naturally broad shoulders too and while i love them, they make finding a shirt that fits difficult, especially these days when womens' tops seem to cut the shoulders in half
5:13 the irony with tom cruise is he was told he was too ugly to be an actor.. too short.. he had dxylexia.. and his nose was too big. The mass irony.. Tom cruise actaully got big because he worked the hardest, showed up early for script readings, was very attentive in auditions, and peolpe never forgot this guy and he was given more and more roles cause of how professional he was. - aka like bts, they weren’t praised for their looks until after they got famous.
I am currently busy with a painting with swans and a woman and I have decided she needs to have a nose like the swans, with a bump on top, a small one. I googled dorsal bump nose (sometimes "model") but I mainly get pre-plastic surgery pictures, not pretty women with dorsal bumps. It made me sad that I had to use those as examples to paint my swanlady.
Back when it was running you didn't need to watch it to know about it, they promoted it so heavily! For nearly a full YEAR there was a Kyle XY billboard featuring that belly button-less torso at the intersection of two major interstates in my city that my family drove past at least once a week to go to the farmers market.
All I can think of is what if that nose thing GOT STUCK?! The joke about coming back to work three hours late with a coffee and your old nose in your purse actually made me lol tho 😂
This has gone from ridiculous to insane. Literally… the level of insanity one must have to perpetrate to people you don’t actually know or will never meet. Just wow!
Well feminism won. We wanted equality between men and women and we've achieved it. Now guys are under as much pressure as women to look perfect all the time. Good job society! * hide the pain Harold giving society a thumbs up *
Ed I often watch your videos first thing in the morning, taking my first sip of coffee. Feels like catching up with a good friend. Keep up the great work! ❤
When I was in my teens, I was often insecure of how broad my shoulders were (actually they're average, just kind of rectangular lol), I wanted to look more delicate and feminine... And of course, now that's a trend. I guess I'm lucky?...
Me too. I'm still insecure about them and avoid clothes that I feel make them stand out, and even tho I know they are actually average i still feel like they are broad.
Me too girl. Mine looks broad but regular EU clothes fit me so it must not be disproportionately broad. It is just rectangular with perfect 90 angle. I always felt bad about them and felt less feminine. It was always one of my insecurities. But now i am having different life and health issues,things like shoulder or bulging tummy became nothing to stress about. Now i just want my backpain and stiff neck to go away.
As I slowly become older (I turn 31 this week) I'm really glad that a) I became much more comfortable in my own body and b) care less and less how other people look. I had an eating disorder when I was younger and I'm happy to say that I don't feel that pressure as much anymore. Now if only big corporations that want to profit off of the insecurities of people - which the corporations themselves inflicted in the first place - would stop doing that shit, I would be very happy
What that men don't understand is that personality is what wins at the end. Most women love men who can make them laugh, who can make them feel loved and safe, smart and gentle men. No amount of "meowing" or being tall or bulked up will matter in the end. And no, for all the incels who happen to be here by accident, money only matters to certain minority of women, most of us don't care.
We care about money and we care abiut them taking care of themselves obviously personality matters but looks matters eventhough looks maxing is extreme
What's sad is that these type of men tend to chase those women who want these attributes they're trying to achieve...while also calling those same women that they want the most vile, disgusting things you can imagine. Seen it happen too often.
This sweater with gold accessories is doing so much good for you. Thanks for giving the internet another handsome face to look at. That nose thing made me unconsciously cover my nose lol like they were going to put it in mine. Can we go back to being human or is that not a trend yet?
I’ve never seen Edvasian look anything but perfect, however- I get this uncanny valley felling bc his face never seems to move. Is Ed….the first best AI Humanoid robot?!

So looksmaxx or cope with getting zero bitches were the options men are left with, without the advantage of starting from young like most women.
Have you considered why that is?
Until only recently, men have provided far more than just looks. It's only through scientific and technological progress as well as government socialistic policies that a man is now reduced to his looks.
With government subsidies and safety nets and tech like birth control pills, men would still be valued for their utility.
When govt becomes a sugar daddy, a virtual husband, an entity that will keep you afloat even if you have 3 kids with 3 different guys, you end up here.
If for whatever reason humanity gets sent back to the dark ages, men will once again be sought after for their utility.
Nvm i just realized i responded to a person with "misandrist" in their name lol
clearly not long enough for you however. Take your own advice
Yeah, you're right. But unlike women, men will chip away at every intricacy of looking good instead of the feeling of looking good based on beauty standards, and rather the evolutionary standard of what makes somebody hot.
Oh my god Jinx being called out was a JUMPSCARE
The way I covered my mouth
😢
I almost choked on my food
Good. I'm always right there for this sh*t show to be called out 💆 it seems he didn't want to miss the opportunity to sprinkle this in, but "toxic" still feels like an understatement.
I think some of the people forget that different people consider different things attractive. For example, one of my favourite types of noses are wide with big nose drills or the crooked ones. And on the contrary I find the upturned noses not very attractive (there are exceptions of course). Also, as an artist I think that "non-ideal" facial features are making a person look more interesting. And why we are so concentrated on looks anyway? I will consider you beautiful if I like you, I'm used to you and you interest me. Because everyone can be beautiful without changing their looks, everyone has something both in their physical appearance and in their personality to attract someone.
wonderfully said.
Tell that to the ugly people who are always looking for the best mest in toen while they dont have anything else to offer....its because of them, people become sperficial and having high standards, how do you feel when you get harrassed by ugly people all the time
Also;
Doja Cat loves big noses. It’s her type

I love how you can be informative and humorous at the same time. Keep up the good work 👍
the 90s yaoi seme body proportions around 12:17 fuckin slay me
right and they are always made fun of but what do we have here😭
I love your dark eyes and hair, you look so cute like this! ❤️
I remember as a kid, there were people in the philippines who would pinch their nose bridges with clothes pins to make them less flat and more pointy. We really are going back to the early 2000s.
Nothing new under the sun. Nose re-shaper was featured even in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women from 1868.
YES, thank you for confirming this!! I made a post that I remember hearing about the clothespin thing. I'm so glad I scrolled through the comments now! 💖
@@Ruinwyn i remember amy used a clothespin to pinch her nose when she slept
The "peak yaoi physique" HAD ME.
I don’t mean this in a bad way at all but you’re the only commentary TH-camr that adds their blank reaction next to clips they play and it’s hilarious to me
I love it so much, like, yes, this IS what we all look like reacting! I snort every time.
that little computer in the background is so CUTEE 😭🫶🏾
"Why is everyone 60% legs" 🤣🤣
It's giving sailor moon.
they raise their pants in a way that makes their legs look longer.
Every time I see that you posted a new video I sit there like "ok, what's the latest weird trend of the month this time?"- as always super entertaining to watch.
I come from a short family on both sides but hit the dna lottery and ended up nearly 6ft tall as a young woman, and I have always stanned a short king. Gimme a 5'4" man who adores me instead of a 6'4" asshole who can't boyfriend properly.
slay
@@duck8049 🙏🙏🙏
Hell yeah girl!
Until you get a short king who’s an asshole
Well do your parents freak out when you mention a fun DNA ancestry test for the family? haha But yeah so much is genetics, my mom was asian short and my father not very tall. I ended up short and my brother had teachers concerned in his teens because puberty was later than the dutch guys but no, that was just his asian side, when he did start puberty he got dutch tall, taking that part of the family genetics. But those genetics were alreday in the family, just skipped a few people. Females in particular.
12:38 cosplayers use chest forms like that all the time for characters that are shredded
The saddest part is the fans of these people would be like "omg yall are just jealous, it's not his fault the gym equipment bends when he's around, obviously he's so hot it bends metal..." and they really believe that a select few individuals can defy laws of physics and gravity 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 I have been on stan Twitter 🤣🤣What's funnier is there are groups and in that close groups they will be like guys we know that's the truth but still we have to fight it otherwise the rival fandom won't let us live peacefully
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This honestly makes me so sad / frustrated. Personally I'm on a journey of realizing I actually AM insecure about just being myself; so much of it is from this hyper awareness of how we perceive people the first time thanks to the internet. It really doesn't matter that much, how much do I really care about first impressions? and just visual ones? As a trans man, it's hard to find people with a similar style or look to me and it makes me think 'hmm maybe I don't belong' instead of 'oh I'm just being myself'. Guys you DO BELONG. Your appearance is not YOU. Take a deep breath, maybe find art to make look how you want instead of your own appearance; it's not as important as tik tok wants us to think. Your body is simply a vessel through which you live life. Be yourself 2024!!
there is certainly a smidge of racism and colorism in these beauty standards. especially the flat nose! which is genetically common among SEAsians. East asians are racist towards SEAsians and use them as insults.
More than a smidge.
I recently learned about the terms “jungle Asian” and “fancy Asian” and I’m disgusted
There's something disturbing about the exclusion of racial minorities in the beauty industry, followed by the literal appropriation of specific aspects of those minorities' bodies.
Very body-snatcher, almost.
A smidge, it is racist
Way more than a smidge lol. East Asians are very racist
edvasion looks effervescent and luminous in every video
sending love to every short king and taller gal out there
As someone who has to spend a lot of time upsizing shirts because of my huge shoulders what the hell is with the chicken cutlets.
Also as a snowboarder? Put your damn clothes on you're going to get injured.
how do you upsize a shirt? unless you just mean buying a size bigger?
@@prettyrat. Yes, going up a size=upsizing.
I also have naturally large shoulders but I love them and if I lived in the 80s I would be wearing shoulder pads on the daily lol
@@user-rx7pd1xv4kWould you even need them, though?
I have naturally broad shoulders too and while i love them, they make finding a shirt that fits difficult, especially these days when womens' tops seem to cut the shoulders in half
Watching this as I wake up late for school, very informative day for me 😭
why are people trying to turn themselves into the standard roblox body... 😭
STOP- LMAO
OH FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT LMAO
BRO FR,THEY ARE WORSE THAN THE DRESS TO IMPRESS BODY MODELS-
5:13 the irony with tom cruise is he was told he was too ugly to be an actor.. too short.. he had dxylexia.. and his nose was too big.
The mass irony..
Tom cruise actaully got big because he worked the hardest, showed up early for script readings, was very attentive in auditions, and peolpe never forgot this guy and he was given more and more roles cause of how professional he was. - aka like bts, they weren’t praised for their looks until after they got famous.
And he had some surgical help of course
he allegedly got a nose job and chin implant, and thats when his career really took off and he started landing leading man roles
TH-cam’s Edvasian looks effervescent in new video!
The girl at 6:30 absolutely looks worse with the nose inserts. It just made her nostrils look weird. Her nose was very cute naturally :/
I am currently busy with a painting with swans and a woman and I have decided she needs to have a nose like the swans, with a bump on top, a small one.
I googled dorsal bump nose (sometimes "model") but I mainly get pre-plastic surgery pictures, not pretty women with dorsal bumps. It made me sad that I had to use those as examples to paint my swanlady.
Cant believe you dropped a Kyle XY reference
I’ve never met a soul who knew about that INSANE amazing mess of a show
Back when it was running you didn't need to watch it to know about it, they promoted it so heavily! For nearly a full YEAR there was a Kyle XY billboard featuring that belly button-less torso at the intersection of two major interstates in my city that my family drove past at least once a week to go to the farmers market.
I loved that show!
I forgot Bout that show
i never forget that show bc his lack of belly button still disturbs me to this day
I think about it every couple of years. I can't believe it was real, honestly.
I love Edvasian face at 15:09, he's full of pain and deserves to become a meme
All I can think of is what if that nose thing GOT STUCK?! The joke about coming back to work three hours late with a coffee and your old nose in your purse actually made me lol tho 😂
this has been all over my xiaohongshu page for years (at least sort of in the sense for women), so it’s super interesting to see a video on this !!
I love that you remind me not to be dumb on a regular basis! definitely needed from time to time
I love being knowledgeable about beauty techniques which as a man I have limited knowledge of and you’re very funny. Definite subscribe
Feels illegal to be this early to such a good video.
yeah
earliest I’ve ever been to an edvasian video lol
Fascinating video. People really do need to be more happy about their own appearance.
The small robot pet in the background is so adorable I need one 👹👹👹
divoom dittoo !
Never change! You are our beloved, debonair, and edfulgent (yes, I went there) short king ❤
This has gone from ridiculous to insane.

Well feminism won. We wanted equality between men and women and we've achieved it. Now guys are under as much pressure as women to look perfect all the time. Good job society! * hide the pain Harold giving society a thumbs up *

Poetic justice
corporate won as well, gg more beauty products sold

When I was in my teens, I was often insecure of how broad my shoulders were (actually they're average, just kind of rectangular lol), I wanted to look more delicate and feminine... And of course, now that's a trend. I guess I'm lucky?...
Me too. That's why I avoid wearing any blazer or jacket. I look like I'm wearing military uniform 😅
Broad shoulders look amazing on anyone. Be proud!
Oh my god finally it’s a trend 💀 I always buy men’s coats and sweaters cause I got them football player shoulders. At least we look badass in blazers
Me too. I'm still insecure about them and avoid clothes that I feel make them stand out, and even tho I know they are actually average i still feel like they are broad.
Me too girl. Mine looks broad but regular EU clothes fit me so it must not be disproportionately broad. It is just rectangular with perfect 90 angle. I always felt bad about them and felt less feminine. It was always one of my insecurities. But now i am having different life and health issues,things like shoulder or bulging tummy became nothing to stress about. Now i just want my backpain and stiff neck to go away.
I love the way explain things.. Very informative, clear and calm.. ❤ I'll be watching your videos I already finished 5-6 I think hahaha
These unrealistic yaoi beauty standards must be stopped 😂
@Edvasian looks so well-proportioned today!
This kind of stuff makes me so glad I don’t use social media
that jinx callout was what did me in
Lately ive been failsmaxing, it's going well. (The failing, not my life) ❤
As I slowly become older (I turn 31 this week) I'm really glad that a) I became much more comfortable in my own body and b) care less and less how other people look. I had an eating disorder when I was younger and I'm happy to say that I don't feel that pressure as much anymore. Now if only big corporations that want to profit off of the insecurities of people - which the corporations themselves inflicted in the first place - would stop doing that shit, I would be very happy
What that men don't understand is that personality is what wins at the end. Most women love men who can make them laugh, who can make them feel loved and safe, smart and gentle men. No amount of "meowing" or being tall or bulked up will matter in the end. And no, for all the incels who happen to be here by accident, money only matters to certain minority of women, most of us don't care.
We care about money and we care abiut them taking care of themselves obviously personality matters but looks matters eventhough looks maxing is extreme
@@Luzgoishzrethe mental illness is peak in this one
edit: also didn't mean this in a bad way, i hope you genuinely leave that mindset behind

What's sad is that these type of men tend to chase those women who want these attributes they're trying to achieve...while also calling those same women that they want the most vile, disgusting things you can imagine. Seen it happen too often.
