    I'm reminded of a saying: The problem with women's beauty standards today is that we have young women desperately trying to look like older women who are desperately trying to look like younger women

    • @StarboyXL9

      Bro that nails it. I remember being a teen, I also remember being confused AF by the girls always trying so hard to make themselves "beautiful" according to magazines and other women. I mean, shouldn't they be asking men what we want to see if the goal is to be attractive to men?

    • @robinfox4440
      @robinfox4440 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

      The female gaze and fem psychology needs to be accounted for in all this. I can't imagine men loading up Instagram and being like "I want all women to look like that." None of us are imposing it on the girls. They do it to themselves.

      @@robinfox4440 This is a legitimately important point that not enough people are will to recognize because of political or ideological predispositions. Men under the age of 50 are not attracted to Botox or excessive surgery. Men have never been attracted to women with visible ribcages, and they haven't been attracted to pencil thin stomachs since the 1950s. Right now the most "in" look for the male gaze, I find, is natural and uncontrived - women who look normal basically (Especially amongst younger generations. I would argue that this is probably in reaction to the widespread 'fakeness' that they've had shoveled at them in excess, peaking with the Belle Delphine horde). That's not to say that there aren't dogs out there, there are, but I'm just speaking as a whole.
      Women often maintain a perception of friendliness and openness amongst each other, but I've seen enough to know that they can be and often are utterly vicious to each other. That warm, welcoming veneer it seems is highly conditional.

    On your point that most men aren't ugly, i am reminded of a quote from a friend of my father.
    "Looks are a bell curve. It's rare to be a 10 or a 1. It's better to think your a 5, because you more than likely are. And if someone doesn't like the way you look, never take it to heart, it just means they think they are better than you. And you shouldn't be in a relationship with someone like that. No mater what your little head has to say."
    Don't know if I agree with all of it but still a good message.

    My big question is who creates and imposes these beauty standards? Because I know for sure it isn't men. For example, none of my friends's wives or girlfriends look like anything close to their "type". The only thing they have in common is their personalities, most of them work as nurses, teachers and stuff like that, and they are very carring and sweet people. So again, who creates and imposes these damn beauty standards? There are objective beauty traits, like symmetric features, big eyes, clear skin, and stuff like that, but what is weird is that these artificial beauty standards don't even coincide with what has been proven to be objective beauty traits.

    I plan to have a hair redistribution surgery done this year. It is quick, as safe as surgeries can go, and risk is accecptable. It is also relatively cheap for a surgery.
    This is because, as mentioned in the video, my hair thinning so much damages my confidence, and unlike other characteristics in which people like a whole spectrum, nobody likes a bald/balding man. If the surgery doesn't work and I have to shave my head, well, at least I only spent money to try some other outcome.
    If it were like the older ways of doing hair transplant when they took a portion of your skin, etc, I wouldn't do it, because that is too invasive for me.

    Note: I'm a yapper, I know... Before I knew it I'd typed all this... I apologize. This is an issue I'm battling. I overshare often. It's a bit linked to an OCD ritual I have, so it's difficult to stop.
    We need to stop judging our appearances like this!
    I'm a dude, not a dudette, so I can't fully understand.
    It's less common, but men struggle too. We see height, glasses, voices that aren't somewhat deep, lack of muscle, etc made fun of on TV & in school. It gets to some of us who start to honestly think "I'm short... No woman can ever possibly like me. Sigh, I'll just grow to 90yo & die alone." I ended up working out 6 days a week just to match up to what's seen as attractive on TV which... So silly how we do that. I felt so worthless I was considering resignation until I met my first GF.
    Fortunately for me in 2005, when I was 17 (old) I met my first GF, Amy. When she first started bluntly confessing her feelings I was SO programmed by society to think "short=undesirable, not a man, give up, trying is a waste of effort and time" that I thought to myself "great, this cute girl is pulling a cruel prank on me!" I didn't say it. I thought "must be a prank, I mean a gorgeous girl like her couldn't be into me... Right?"
    Well... Not a prank.
    She, by dating me, unknowingly created a confident man in me. Thought I shouldn't even try until she showed me I was wrong.
    Very innocent. We were both Christian (both still are) so her dad didn't need to give me the death stare he did, a gun hanging beside his chair on the wall. Loaded? Dunno. I'd NEVER do anything bad (you know) anyway as it's not exactly Christian & immoral to begin with, but he, no joke, would've killed me. He was a lil psycho.
    Now for some funny uncomfortable stuff that LEGIT bugged me. Picture this... She was 5'11", taller than my mother, dad, stepdad & uncle. My height? Before I met her I'd NEVER mention my height until I knew you for 1-2 years. Mom is 4'10", dad was 5'6". I landed around the middle at 5'3".
    Now think about this, a 5'11" girl hugs her 5'3" BF... Hugging always freaked me out. I never do dirty stuff due to my faith, so getting hugged was stressful... Her chest being quite large made that worse. Yes, I know most guys would like that. In fact, one friend of mine, Dennis, saw this & gave me the "it should've been me!" Expression. She didn't mind! 1 time she did when her dad was looking at her sister & I was thinking "he's gonna turn his head, see this, grab that gun in his chair (side pocket of a recliner) and goodbye everyone."
    Call me a wuss, but it legitimately stressed me out & made breathing difficult. Maybe I should've carried around a box to stand on lol.
    Confidence is key. Women actually began to approach me after I gained the confidence from what Amy did. My appearance hadn't changed, I just became confident & a few other things like becoming outgoing, not shy. I'd NEVER have bone lengthening procedures done. This is the body I was given, why change it? Besides, gaining 2-4 inches from that procedure won't change anything inside you, the insecurities. That insecurity can easily live on. Your appearance isn't as important as you think. Grow instead as a person & I promise things will change.
    Women, according to my friends and mother, like seeing confidence in men. They find it attractive. Being a little taller is useless if you never grew inside.
    I mean I look the exact same as I did when no women were interested. All that changed was what's inside this thick forehead of mine. I grew inside. Now I get asked out often. If I, a teeny tiny microscopic lil 5'3" guy (lol) can do that then so can you!
    A confident man or a guy who's so insecure he actually had bone lengthening surgery done thinking that was the source of his problems. So, which one?
    I'm eternally grateful to Amy for awakening me, so to speak.
    Note: Btw Amy being so tall kinda got me into tall women. I like looking up to talk or how they have to bend over/kneel down a bit to kiss me... Yeahhh weird, I know.

    I'm a classically attractive man since the age of 16. Nonetheless, I've always been relatively unpopular with the ladies. Why? Because I'm emotionally and otherwise socially unavailable, a dry conversationalist, and unfashionable. These are huge factors that go both ways. The same way they overpower the huge physical advantage I have, if you excel in these areas, it will overpower physical disadvantages.
    People are not just agents, bodies, personalities, or stories. We are a combination of all these things and more, and most people have a sense of this when choosing whom to align with.

    As a parent, I wouldn't let my children, especially my daughters, to have Instagram until I can at least feel that have developed some sense of self.
    Instagram and other apps like that should be 18+, in my opinion. At least 16+.
    Parents are concerned with their teens smoking, drinking or watching porn. For me, this is worse than those three. The consequences of smoking and drinking can be bad, but they also tend to go heal with time. Porn warps your perception of sex and that is bad, but at the same time, I think that it is more obviously fake, it is not as insidious.
    I think that the damage that social media cause to people still developing is to some degree permanent and for life, because it will warp your sense of self when you are developing it.
    In summary, I would rather find out that my teen drinks a beer on the weekend with her friends than finding out that she is obsessed with Kim Kardashian and she is considering a butt lift.

She’s getting married and she has zero plastic. You only get plastic surgery if you’re that desperate, but it’s mostly a rich kid thing now. It cost so much money just for a face adjustment just so you can try and fish for people in the sea. You have the right to do what ever you want at 18 but don’t cry and moan about it if you still can’t find a date if.

(now im not korean but ive heard from multiple people thats how it goes/went for them and the people they knew) its just like that out there.. the beauty standards/culture is WILD.. you think the USA is bad.. you think you are a 10 here? go to Korea and you will feel like putting a bag over your head. a quote from a korean i also heard.

    No, it wasn't as bad, but we definitely did have this problem in society before social media. It's to the point where, online or in person, you aren't supposed to talk about any negatives in your life unless in a way to fish for sympathy, or do anything but present your best face to the public (metaphorical, and literal) and make it beyond your best with lies and photoshop and filters and luxury goods that are a bad investment at your income, and surgery, and adopting habits of social classes above you, and even changing your accent, etc.
    It's just part of this masquerade people seem to want to live in and get angry when someone doesn't participate, because they don't want the world how it actually is. Like how everyone talks about how fake politicians are, but they only vote for the fake ones.

    It amuses me that Vtubers are in a way another step down this same road for influencers, but also a healthier one because it's OBVIOUSLY not real, and while it IS pretty to look at it sidesteps the unconcious focus on one's physical appearance because the Vtuber is a static cosmetic appearance, a digital masquerade. And yet... donning that masquerade allows you to disregard how people think about your looks, and lets your actual personality shine through.
    What an ironic paradox. The masquerade is healthier than fretting about your appearance.
    IDC either way. Beauty is both in the eyes of the beholder and eminently transient. We'll all get old and wrinkly. If all I cared about was my SO's beauty I'd be doomed to a shallow, empty relationship.
    I can only hope and prey that anyone I end up in a relationship with would see me for me like ai do for them, rather than how I look or the contents of my wallet.
