Ladies and gentlemen - thank you SO SO much 🥹. This was the biggest project of my life and it worked me to my absolute limit but couldn't be more proud of the product. The hardest thing of this whole series was answering the question we began with... How do we become more attractive, scientifically? How should we conclude this whole series? What is the answer that ANYONE, no matter their physical status, can takeaway? The past nine months have been the most revealing journey of my life, and to see you all resonate with my story, the research, and the shots cemented my purpose in doing this craft. I LOVE creating stories and I can't wait to keep upping this game. Welcome to our corner of the internet, a place where we create new perspectives, conversations, and lessons around modern topics that make an impact.
Can't blame constestant three at all, it was far too much information, i totally thought it would be a question about who were best at listening to the story and were to answer questions afterwards.
This is outstanding. It’s been amazing to go on this journey with Tejas, Ken, and Hope. The authenticity and vulnerability while diving into these topics create something I think is truly impactful. Seeing how much heart and effort Tejas and Ken put into every episode, especially this final one, has been such a rewarding experience. Veljko, Colt, and Shervin were hilarious. (Not to mention courageous!) What a great series-I’m so grateful to have been part of it. Excited to see how it resonates and what’s next!
I've gained confidence. Previously, I thought I was very unattractive, but watching this and hearing people receive compliments on traits I possess has lifted me up significantly. My number one goal has always been to learn how to become a good parent, which explains this. I understood I'm not fully made up of unattractive stuff. I learned that i have good traits and bad traits like others.
The fact that Tejas opened up and showed us what he has been going through shows that he took the first step towards self fidelity. This whole episode gave me so much to self reflect about. Amazing series my man!
The fact that you recognized this means a ton. Genuinely the most impactful journey of my life thus far and you can see it from a zoomed out perspective with the direction this channel is going! Self-fidelity is a lesson that I will carry for the rest of my life.
wait, I've listened to the third story 4 times now. She never said the year lmao. I would have been super cooked. There's no way my brain is doing simple mental math under pressure like that. The fact that he got it right... dude killed it
Favorite baldie just commented 🥰 My favorite lesson from watching this contest is realizing staying true to yourself is the best advice because none of the girls were worth contorting yourself into a version someone else desires is worth it; the 3rd contestant prioritized accomplishments and that was off putting to the 3 girls, sucks to be them
“The struggle between authenticity and acceptance.” Dang that hit deep. It’s far easier to help others feel more comfortable than it is to share your own vulnerabilities.
low key one of the things that made me feel better tbh you could be a doofus who likes to make people laugh and one person could find you a bit tacky but someone else will match your vibe and you will be the funniest person they've met now if only i could teach my brain to handle rejection T_T
Wow, this made me realize what I lack in personality, I decided to take part in this as if I was the contestant and answered in my own way mentally. I suck! No wonder... I always thought I lacked somewhere, now I know what. I need to be more present, more curious, disclose more, and make conversation deep not wide. Never have I identified with a video as much. 10/10 perspective change
It's all about our decisions and what we do. Discipline is about making decisions that are aligned with our intentions. Inspiration may get us started, but it's the habit that keeps us going. Habits stay with us even when we don’t have the inspiration. All of it I grabbed from the book Unveiling Your Hidden Potential
I don’t usually comment but this is the most dedicated and inspiring series I’ve ever seen someone do. Not only did you reach out to experts for it and use real life situations but also made it enjoyable for us 🙏 thanks for the time put into it
Number 3 reactions to every criticism... Relax, breathe, don't react so much my guy lol! You can easily see the inner child in him, he needs to work on self-validation. Insecurely, and looking for external validation is poison... Because how easy it can be given to you (When someone wants or needs something from you sometimes) ... And taken from you when someone wants to get under your skin and throw your game off.... Self-Fidelity is indeed the strongest to work on in my opinion.
if i can ask... how do should receive criticism actually? like what mindset should i have? because i think although i wouldn't express really my emotion that outwardly, i relate to the feeling that he felt, is it really that im still lacking confidence in myself?
@@okaywhatever3948 "Sensory Input from the outside world". Meaning that my reaction to it is actually something that I can control AND if I could control my reaction to "negative things" then I don't need to let negative things control me. For example someone insults me, says I'm a "terrible human being", "bad friend", etc... These are all very objectively very hurtful things to say and do I get hurt by them... At the beginning I did but eventually I learned "HOW TO FILTER MY PERCEPTION". Instead of letting those words directly into my mind and letting them shape MY TRUTH... What I learned how to do is create a barrier between those two kinds of things... So I'm not going to let the infection sink all the way in. Instead, what I start to do is run this dialogue in my head... "Ok this is what this person is saying. Let me pause for a second and think about why this person would be saying this... They say this or that about me... What do they know about me as a person?" Basically, think alot what is FACTUAL TRUTH about the situation and what is your REACTION to it... What is objectively correct, your interpretation, your conclusion before you just react immediately.... Hope this helps
@@okaywhatever3948 I have gotten compliments from alot of people that I'm very receptive to criticism. And it's all about having a mindset of constant learning and understanding that. YOU. are in fact not the sh*t. When people tell me things I do wrong and things I could've done differently I just listen attentively with minimal reaction and nod my head while I own up to my mistakes and weaknesses. I also point it out myself loudly in the conversation and try to see it from their perspective. This takes work for some but for others we just luckily have it in our personality. I hope this helped :)
Idk I think he was playing up for the camera a lot, and that he was approaching the show as a challenge rather than just being himself. I think that changes how he reacted. He's clearly pretty intelligent but it seems that he plays up for jokes.
@@okaywhatever3948 what others think of you is often not due to their mindset but how you present yourself. Being genuine is the most important. My first day of college, you could tell instantly on my floor who people wanted to be around based on how genuine they were. One guy was very humble and took most things pretty well and listened very attentively to others. I started off like the guys in the video but I feel like I did a good job of trying to become more genuine and to work on myself because I realized that when people seemed to think poorly of me, it wasn’t because of their mindset, it was because of how I presented myself.
This series explored one of the less talked topics and the one that troubled me for years. The production and sound was top notch and kept me hooked till the end of this series. Probably the only series on UA-cam that I completed. Kudos to you, million subs aren't far away. Love from India ❤
This has been one of the best series I have watched so far. If this is the quality of content we're going to be getting I am very very excited for how successful you are going to be, and I'll be able to say " I'd been there from the start! " Big ups man great things coming your way!
I am at a loss of words as I write this. I have struggled with self-fidelity all my life, where I'm always anticipating the next moment over the current one, without ever being present in the current one. Always thinking of how I'm being perceived, never owning up to my own, or trying to find my personal values. I'm grateful to you, Tejas, for taking this reflective journey and making myself question more inward. I just hope we both get there eventually... And never have to go through this internal battle each and every day. Hopefully one day it is over. 💔
Just let me be honest for a moment. I have never felt this much connection to a video on the internet in like FOREVER. The story that was told has been soo connecting to my personal experiences that, it made me rethink my life. Thank You Tejus and his whole crew for making this awesome docu-series. It was the best experience of my life to - date.
This spoke to me. I've been exploring this self-fidelity question in the past few weeks and have arrived at the knowledge that while I'm lonely, I'm much happier by myself knowing that I'm sticking to what my values are and what I believe in. I'm glad to know that someone else in this world has arrived.
I think the dating show part really showed me how subjective and seemingly random we find people attractive and gave me a renewed sense of confidence. I think also it me realize how true and valuable the advice of “be your best self” is because you can’t please everyone, but you can please that one person that finds you pleasurable.
Self identity and figuring out how to figure out who you are is one of those things we are never taught properly in society....that is, right until you made this video. Amazing work, Tejas. Your work impacts so much of us!
This is a masterpiece. When your love for creating something so artistic and true ends up with character growth, that's probably the best thing that could ever happen. Loved seeing this journey span over 4 episodes and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future, for you and your channel!
Means so much! And yes, you hit it on the head - the best part of this whole series is you see me and my friends go through authentic hero journey's and it was a natural story
This series was AMAZING. Truly a representation of hard-work, dedication, and AUTHENTICITY. Tejas, appreciate you for bringing your audience a new perspective and AWARENESS
Genuinely amazing series! Left me with so many questions on how I should navigate my life moving forward and made me realize that there are tons of things I need to work on. I really resonated with the points you brought up and how you struggle with self fidelity and I genuinely think that is the one major struggle I am currently going through and I never realized it before. So, thank you for making this video and making me realize what I need to do to better myself. I genuinely really appreciate it.
The best thing about this whole series is watching Tejas grow. You really grabbed every best core element of your videos and tied those threads together & weaved this beautiful journey. You're the guy who chases the questions he has for enlightenment. Who combines his curiosity, creativity and courage to be vulnerable. The guy who keeps doing what he loves. And you're so so so inspiring. I mean, who ever thought a docuseries about science behind attractiveness could make you cry? It's you Tejas, you move our hearts by being yourself. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR GIVING THIS GIFT. PS: Your corner of the internet is the warmest place to be.
@TejasHullur you go Tejas, gonna be always here to remind you of how amazing and magical and inspiring you are (yes, there is gonna be more best compliments)
It’s incredible that this entire documentary is free to watch! It’s so insightful and powerful-it really resonates. Amazing work on the filming and storytelling, Tejas.
I'm honestly loving this series because it's allowed me to reflect and just think about my own life and how I feel about these topics. It's made me think deeper about how I act or what I think of myself physically and it's also reminded me to stay positive about myself and not to be too negative. It's definitely a journey(it hits even harder just coming out of a 15 month relationship). Thank you for these great videos and keep it up Tejas!
I really needed this right now after struggling with obsession too. The journey of what you’ve discovered is beautiful and its bittersweet having the answer be the most simplest phrase we’ve heard “just be yourself” ❤
Today I couldn’t find a video that held my attention long enough to watch. I unknowingly clicked on the first episode of this series because it’d been in my recommended for awhile, and I’m proud to say that I just sat and binged all four episodes! The storytelling, cinematography, music, and just charisma of everyone involved made me instantly hooked. Congrats on making this amazing docuseries! I’ve laughed so much, gained insight about myself and others, and as a new subscriber, I’m so excited to see more! I know I’ll be thinking about this series for awhile and I’ll recommend it to all of my friends to watch. Thanks so much for all your and your team’s hard work and dedication!!!
I just wanted to take this chance to thank you for creating this docu-series. I myself have had a failed relationship a few months ago that went eerily similar to yours where I couldn't quite figure out what I did wrong. And now, with the conclusion of your series I've realized that the reason as to why things didn't work out for me was because I, in some way, suppressed who I really am and wasn't self-confident enough, similar to your case - and for that I want to thank you for bringing this to light. I hope this doesn't come off as weird because you obviously don't know me, but really man, thank you! I'm stoked to see more of what you create
You should be really proud of this series. I don't know you but I am incredibly proud of you showed yourself, be vulnerable but also taught us something.
The quality of this docu-series is GREAT! On par with a giant coorperation with millions of followers. Really clear to see the time and energy you've put into this. This project and your channel deserve a lot more love
The moment "self-fidelity issue" was mentioned, I cried. This was such a revealing experience for me, thank you Tejas for putting yourself out there and making such genuine informative content! I somehow feel uplifted, like something has been weighing me down for a long time, and now a voice is telling me that everything's alright, that it's okay. Am a huge fan of yours now. (p.s.: I love the way you laugh)
This is probably, and I am not exaggerating, the best piece of content I have ever saw on the internet. It was fun to watch and edited perfectly, but at the same time so interesting and enlightening. Thank you so much for this series, hope you will have much more followers and attention, because your content is really something else in UA-cam.
Can I just say that the production quality of this entire series was just spot on! I have see my fair share of video essays and docu-series, but this is by far the best. The story telling was beautiful! Loved it!
Insightful investigation into beauty. What I found is that, to be an attractive person, you have to be attracted to yourself. Not in a weird narcissistic way, but in a way that you recognize your past self and see the progress you've made so far. To me that is attraction. This is far more crucial than all the weird gizmo's we do to make ourself more attractive according to a "STANDARD" that deems yourself as attractive. Find your strengths, work incredibly hard in them, and over a period of time (yes sometimes its a decade long process) you will see yourself in the mirror and be attracted to the progress. Stay grounded and humble during the process, never boast, only try to attract one love life person (i.e. wife) into your life, and try to maintain lasting relationships with everyone. You will feel complete then for that aspect of your life.
Haaa my gawd, this is such an amazing journey, thank you so much tejas i love you, i cried at the ending, the thing bout self fidelity is so true, and ahhhh now all i gotta do is be Con-Fident! Once again love you and thaks for this series ❤️🎀
This video has inspired me in countless ways, and with your great storytelling, amazing concepts and a very powerful message about confidence - it's changed the way I view things. Keep up the great work! Absolutely brilliant!
This summer, I went through one of the most tumultuous relationships and experiences in my life. And a massive trait I kept seeing is how fluid I was, how much I didn't trust my own judgement, and how easily I conformed to someone else's. I didn't know why I was such a pushover and had all these qualities related to not being true to myself and not being the one who would define situations, but now I finally see it, I finally see a word that encapsulates this perfectly - self-fidelity. I realize I dont know exactly what my values are and how I don't have faith in myself or those values to the extent that I want to either. Thank you Tejas for giving me that insight. I felt like I never had it before and it opened up a whole new world of how I can improve myself and tackle my anxieties and fears to become a better version of me. Thank you so much. This episode and the ending especially is something that has already deeply impacted me.
Thank you for making this, Tejas. I, too, am on a similar journey, and this helps paint a clearer picture of an inkling about myself I noticed, but couldn’t put words to describe it. I clapped at the end of the video as this, to me, felt like cinema, even if people might frown upon the usage of the word on this style of visual storytelling. It’s because you are able to convey complex ideas and weave a compelling narrative that I truly applaud you for, and I would like to wish you all the best! Keep up the great work!
WOW such a fantastic series. truly a gem on UA-cam. can't believe I'm watching this for free - it's beautifully shot, scripted, evidence backed and keeps you engaged (I didn't skip through one bit in this one). I especially loved the use of metaphors in the end. Excited for whatever comes next!!
Thank you so much for a lovely and enticing series. I rarely sit down and watch UA-cam on my tv, often preferring to watch on my phone or computer. However I chose to watch each of your incredible productions on my tv sharing with friends and family. Really appreciate the effort and energy you put into these videos. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you!
Wow. Let me just say that watching this series has been incredible and the fact that I was able to watch it for free is even more incredible. It kept me captivated the whole time and I can say that I learned a lot from this series. This is some phenomenal work. I'm fully invested in your channel now and I'm looking forward to all your future videos. Keep it coming!
Really great video and series!! I enjoyed it very much. But I can’t be the only one who noticed that each girl had a different favourite candidate, which contributes to the argument that attractiveness is still quite subjective
This has helped me a lot too Tejas! I'm someone who struggles with self-confidence and doesn't view themselves as very attractive. I have asked myself the same questions you asked and I'm truly thankful for this series. I really have a lot to think about
Tejas I've been following your content since the last 2 years, and I've gotta say this has to be one of the best Docu-series I've seen on UA-cam. You've come a long way, can't wait to see what you create in future!
One of if not the best youtube video I’ve ever seen. I used to overthink so often and many times it was about what confidence meant in terms of attracting and you completely answered that for me. Thank you!
i really appreciate all of your effort Tejas, that you put in to create such a documentary. im 18 and ive been thinking about "attractiveness" for a while, i was always the one whos asking and also the one whos answering based on my own observations. and then i saw that you filmed this documentary, i thought it would be worth watching to see what others thinking about attractiveness but you chose to come up with the science for giving answers, which i really appreciate. im personally really into psychology, so this last video of the series was a lil more meaningful for me. i feel like i learnt and will learn a lot. and it was really nice to see a dude who overcame his insecurities pretty well that he is now helping the others. i wish you the best for your life. and i hope you will be discovered by the true population as soon as possible ✊🙋♂💗🎀 by the way you have a cool name.
Tejas & Ken absolutely killed it. So proud of you both 🥺. This is just the beginning, 2025 will be special. An Update on Contestant 3: Contestant 3 is now single and his life has continued its descent down a cliff. Fortunately he reached the bottom and is now climbing back up. Only time will tell if this is an endless journey of pushing a bolder up a cliff to only find oneself at the bottom each time, but then again he always admired Sisyphus.
i loved this whole series & i enjoyed learning about the scientific aspects of attractiveness while discovering new things about myself! thank you for this masterpiece, i can’t wait to see what else you bring us Tejas :)
That was such a heart-warming and enlightening watch!! Thank you. I loved the three pillars of non-physical attraction. I think in relation to your breakup, the problem was that you felt that you didn’t deserve that person, and this insecurity can really bleed into a relationship. It seems like you are becoming more confident on this journey and learning your self worth because you do in fact have a lot of value to give!! Looking forward to seeing more of your content ❤
I have really appreciated this journey, ive appreciated it because it has helped me to learn about my own failed relationship and i am grateful to you for sharing this with us. Thank you
Truly beautiful Tejas, especially at the end I cried, I feel exactly what you and for the first time see that some other person goes through what I do. I also always didn’t understand the reason why I cling or change for the person, but now I know it’s about my values and my true self that I still need to discover at my young age of 22. Incredible documentary, please keep on creating, there is a bright future ahead of you! Would love to meet up when someday will visit NYC again 🥹🙏
The whole concept was really well made I was invested the whole way through. I think in the future don’t give scores and the reasonings to the contestants after each round and save it to the end. Only show it to the contestants. Wanted to see natural behavior because as the show went on the contestants are catching on and being self conscious and may act more.
INCREDIBLE series I feel like the previous endings have had the same shot of looking into the mirror and I've seen it as analyzing yourself, but with the lead up at the end it felt like you were looking at the viewer instead, the whole ending hit me so hard
What a great final episode and what a great series! Very high quality and interesting stuff. Thank you for sharing so much, and being brave, thoughtful and vulnerable. It's been great to get to understand more about you, and to have you help me understand more about myself too!
Tejas, firstly, what a great production! Congratulations on that. I would like to appreciate one of the numerous other good characteristics - the coherence of the entire 4-part series. It was spot on. The use of the places, took us to back the premise immediately. Their repetition prepared us for the following content. You are one of my fav creators! I hope you take a good break after this long journey. And it sure as hell taught me a lot. Gave me something to improve upon
Wow. I’ve never been on a first date like that, but if I ever have to. I know what I need! Always a banger from Tejas. As a psych major these things are very intriguing
I really loved this series. It was deep, meaningful, and impactful while also having some fun and light hearted moments. The editing and shots are also amazing, I can’t imagine how many hours your spent on each video. 😭 Thank you for sharing your perspective about our simultaneously objective and subjective societal standard of beauty and attractiveness in general. I love seeing content that makes a difference in my perspective or makes me think more deeply about a topic. I wish you all the best and I know you’ll make it far if you keep doing what you’re doing. Just remember to stay true to your roots and who you are no matter how much popularity you gain or attention you get. God bless. 😊💖
Such a beautiful, insightful, funny and well crafted documentation. Crafts/videos and messages like these let you forget the depressive rut youre in, think at life differently and may help some to get out of their hole again. Thank you, your videos do have an impact
Guys i'd like to thank you all for making this video, this educational film really helped me in acknowledging traits that i was blind too, for the longest time and this video just served as an eye opener and just gave me hope that i can find myself a significant other and how to keep one. There's a lot that i learned from this video and i wish i could share it all but i don't wanna write an essay and i loved the music 🥰 it's not often you find videos this educational and heart warming, but i'm glad that i came across the video and hope you guys keep up the good work as i will be following you guys from now on and share this channel to my friends coz i feel like they'd learn a lot from this channel just as i did and yeah that will be all bye!🥰😇
I discovered you since the Tinder video u made. Seeing you putting together this series, especially the message behind this episode, I'm just truly astonished by the level of depth you have reached and how well you packaged it for the young audience. I have the same approach with my field too, like the fearlessness of going into important ideas and tackling them in a way that will most definitely leave a clear, impactful learning lesson for a wide audience. You did that very well and almost definitely you will be valued by not only us (Gen Z) but also lots of experts in the field (doing this so professionally and fun!). Lol a side sharing of why this resonates so much with me is that I pretty much experience the message about dating in real-time (through a coincidentally very rigorous dating journey for over a year, even more, challenging yet as rigorous as how I pursue my field). I just tested my hypothesis about what I like in guys (zodiac signs, looks, finance, personality, jobs, value alignment, compatibility, how our relationship deals with problems), dated, and reflected. And I get what you are saying about the girl you paired with in the episode, even though we know what we want to do in our career and have a good life going on, the person you really like, the high emotional aspect of the relationship, still leads them or you to overexplain or suppress how each other present themselves (which is the saddest way to end things yet it taught u that relationships is for you to learn the hardest lesson about yourself, to truly love yourself in honoring of your values). I gradually became more present and curious in other aspects of my life as I want through guys too. Relationships are truly very hard, as you guys discussed, even in the connection you find instant warmth and comfort not necessarily the personal journey of that person, which may align with you. And it is very hard to make yourself feel like you gonna be okay again (it is great that you have a strong interest and success in your career to bounce back fairly well), but an unexpected one will come along, appreciate, and take on that before you get that they do lol. Yeah and those three elements of self-fidelity, curiosity, and warmth are actually the three main elements I instinctively built my app design project around (thank you so much for introducing Dr. Smithyman, give me solid research to look through lol oh I'm a graphic design major btw). Anyways, keep going, ur brain is great and I'm excited for more of your projects in the future.
Ladies and gentlemen - thank you SO SO much 🥹. This was the biggest project of my life and it worked me to my absolute limit but couldn't be more proud of the product. The hardest thing of this whole series was answering the question we began with... How do we become more attractive, scientifically? How should we conclude this whole series? What is the answer that ANYONE, no matter their physical status, can takeaway?
The past nine months have been the most revealing journey of my life, and to see you all resonate with my story, the research, and the shots cemented my purpose in doing this craft. I LOVE creating stories and I can't wait to keep upping this game.
Welcome to our corner of the internet, a place where we create new perspectives, conversations, and lessons around modern topics that make an impact.
Past nine months??? I knew this was way too good to take only a few months but damn near a whole year? Props for such dedication
I wish more people would see that
What amazing work
ihu
this docu-series was so good, my appreciation to your contribution for humanity sir💐👏🏻
To be fair, the boys had no idea they were holding a conversation 😭😭
"were we having a conversation??"
@@TejasHullur exactly!
^^^ this 😂😭
Can't blame constestant three at all, it was far too much information, i totally thought it would be a question about who were best at listening to the story and were to answer questions afterwards.
True
Creative? Yes.
Scientific? Yes.
Immersive? Yes.
Well made? A BIG YESSS!!!
This is ART.
🥹 Welcome to our corner of the internet
Tejas on a generational run rn 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm loving the game!
Number 3 had a complete breakdown+ Midlife-Crisis 😭😭
This is outstanding. It’s been amazing to go on this journey with Tejas, Ken, and Hope. The authenticity and vulnerability while diving into these topics create something I think is truly impactful. Seeing how much heart and effort Tejas and Ken put into every episode, especially this final one, has been such a rewarding experience.
Veljko, Colt, and Shervin were hilarious. (Not to mention courageous!)
What a great series-I’m so grateful to have been part of it. Excited to see how it resonates and what’s next!
You’ve been more impactful in my life than you know 🥹
Yoooo it's the Smithydude!
I've gained confidence.
Previously, I thought I was very unattractive, but watching this and hearing people receive compliments on traits I possess has lifted me up significantly.
My number one goal has always been to learn how to become a good parent, which explains this.
I understood I'm not fully made up of unattractive stuff.
I learned that i have good traits and bad traits like others.
Wow. This means a ton. I'm glad you're feeling better about yourself!
I care so much about parenting, and I'm glad that skills I'm working on today will help me as a parent in the future
The fact that Tejas opened up and showed us what he has been going through shows that he took the first step towards self fidelity. This whole episode gave me so much to self reflect about. Amazing series my man!
The fact that you recognized this means a ton. Genuinely the most impactful journey of my life thus far and you can see it from a zoomed out perspective with the direction this channel is going! Self-fidelity is a lesson that I will carry for the rest of my life.
I clapped out loud - didn’t want this series to end. So excited for whatever is next. Bravo, Tejas and Ken!
Don!! Thank you. Welcome to our corner of the internet!
wait, I've listened to the third story 4 times now. She never said the year lmao. I would have been super cooked. There's no way my brain is doing simple mental math under pressure like that. The fact that he got it right... dude killed it
hey babe (Colt) wake up, Tejas just posted another Attractiveness episode
Kariza kicking her feet in the air
Contestant #2, tell me about yourself?
Another banger 🔥 Love the Content Closet family ❤
sherwin! my personal fave to win the contest
Favorite baldie just commented 🥰
My favorite lesson from watching this contest is realizing staying true to yourself is the best advice because none of the girls were worth contorting yourself into a version someone else desires is worth it; the 3rd contestant prioritized accomplishments and that was off putting to the 3 girls, sucks to be them
“The struggle between authenticity and acceptance.” Dang that hit deep. It’s far easier to help others feel more comfortable than it is to share your own vulnerabilities.
I think it's pretty heartwarming that all 3 of them picked a different number one. What an episode btw, this is amazing
low key one of the things that made me feel better tbh
you could be a doofus who likes to make people laugh
and one person could find you a bit tacky
but someone else will match your vibe and you will be the funniest person they've met
now if only i could teach my brain to handle rejection T_T
Wow, this made me realize what I lack in personality, I decided to take part in this as if I was the contestant and answered in my own way mentally.
I suck! No wonder... I always thought I lacked somewhere, now I know what.
I need to be more present, more curious, disclose more, and make conversation deep not wide.
Never have I identified with a video as much. 10/10 perspective change
It's all about our decisions and what we do. Discipline is about making decisions that are aligned with our intentions. Inspiration may get us started, but it's the habit that keeps us going. Habits stay with us even when we don’t have the inspiration. All of it I grabbed from the book Unveiling Your Hidden Potential
AN HOUR LONG?! LESSGO TEJAS BE COOKIN!
Been in the lab! Been in the cave!
i had the exact same reaction😄
leaving the rose coloured glasses behind. what a beautiful symbol. really well does Tejas, another banger
I don’t usually comment but this is the most dedicated and inspiring series I’ve ever seen someone do. Not only did you reach out to experts for it and use real life situations but also made it enjoyable for us 🙏 thanks for the time put into it
Number 3 reactions to every criticism... Relax, breathe, don't react so much my guy lol!
You can easily see the inner child in him, he needs to work on self-validation. Insecurely, and looking for external validation is poison... Because how easy it can be given to you (When someone wants or needs something from you sometimes) ... And taken from you when someone wants to get under your skin and throw your game off.... Self-Fidelity is indeed the strongest to work on in my opinion.
if i can ask... how do should receive criticism actually? like what mindset should i have? because i think although i wouldn't express really my emotion that outwardly, i relate to the feeling that he felt, is it really that im still lacking confidence in myself?
@@okaywhatever3948 "Sensory Input from the outside world". Meaning that my reaction to it is actually something that I can control AND if I could control my reaction to "negative things" then I don't need to let negative things control me.
For example someone insults me, says I'm a "terrible human being", "bad friend", etc... These are all very objectively very hurtful things to say and do I get hurt by them... At the beginning I did but eventually I learned "HOW TO FILTER MY PERCEPTION". Instead of letting those words directly into my mind and letting them shape MY TRUTH...
What I learned how to do is create a barrier between those two kinds of things... So I'm not going to let the infection sink all the way in. Instead, what I start to do is run this dialogue in my head... "Ok this is what this person is saying. Let me pause for a second and think about why this person would be saying this... They say this or that about me... What do they know about me as a person?"
Basically, think alot what is FACTUAL TRUTH about the situation and what is your REACTION to it... What is objectively correct, your interpretation, your conclusion before you just react immediately.... Hope this helps
@@okaywhatever3948 I have gotten compliments from alot of people that I'm very receptive to criticism. And it's all about having a mindset of constant learning and understanding that. YOU. are in fact not the sh*t. When people tell me things I do wrong and things I could've done differently I just listen attentively with minimal reaction and nod my head while I own up to my mistakes and weaknesses. I also point it out myself loudly in the conversation and try to see it from their perspective. This takes work for some but for others we just luckily have it in our personality. I hope this helped :)
Idk I think he was playing up for the camera a lot, and that he was approaching the show as a challenge rather than just being himself. I think that changes how he reacted. He's clearly pretty intelligent but it seems that he plays up for jokes.
@@okaywhatever3948 what others think of you is often not due to their mindset but how you present yourself. Being genuine is the most important. My first day of college, you could tell instantly on my floor who people wanted to be around based on how genuine they were. One guy was very humble and took most things pretty well and listened very attentively to others. I started off like the guys in the video but I feel like I did a good job of trying to become more genuine and to work on myself because I realized that when people seemed to think poorly of me, it wasn’t because of their mindset, it was because of how I presented myself.
This series explored one of the less talked topics and the one that troubled me for years. The production and sound was top notch and kept me hooked till the end of this series. Probably the only series on UA-cam that I completed.
Kudos to you, million subs aren't far away. Love from India ❤
Thank you!! Welcome to our corner of the internet. Also appreciate that love from across the world 🇮🇳
This has been one of the best series I have watched so far. If this is the quality of content we're going to be getting I am very very excited for how successful you are going to be, and I'll be able to say " I'd been there from the start! " Big ups man great things coming your way!
Means so much. Welcome to our corner of the internet!
Fr yep 👍
This was beautiful. I wish I had watched this series when I was 15 years old. Thank you Tejas and congratulations for your work. :)
That's a huge reason I want to make these videos, they are really postcards to my 18 year old self. Thank you :)
I am at a loss of words as I write this. I have struggled with self-fidelity all my life, where I'm always anticipating the next moment over the current one, without ever being present in the current one. Always thinking of how I'm being perceived, never owning up to my own, or trying to find my personal values. I'm grateful to you, Tejas, for taking this reflective journey and making myself question more inward. I just hope we both get there eventually...
And never have to go through this internal battle each and every day.
Hopefully one day it is over. 💔
❤❤ Thank you.
Just let me be honest for a moment. I have never felt this much connection to a video on the internet in like FOREVER. The story that was told has been soo connecting to my personal experiences that, it made me rethink my life. Thank You Tejus and his whole crew for making this awesome docu-series. It was the best experience of my life to - date.
Wow, means the world. Welcome to our corner of the internet
This spoke to me.
I've been exploring this self-fidelity question in the past few weeks and have arrived at the knowledge that while I'm lonely, I'm much happier by myself knowing that I'm sticking to what my values are and what I believe in.
I'm glad to know that someone else in this world has arrived.
This is a big realization
I think the dating show part really showed me how subjective and seemingly random we find people attractive and gave me a renewed sense of confidence. I think also it me realize how true and valuable the advice of “be your best self” is because you can’t please everyone, but you can please that one person that finds you pleasurable.
Wow
a LOT of people would find this docu series extremely valuable
and I hope it brings you great success
thanks for putting in the effort
Self identity and figuring out how to figure out who you are is one of those things we are never taught properly in society....that is, right until you made this video. Amazing work, Tejas. Your work impacts so much of us!
This is a masterpiece. When your love for creating something so artistic and true ends up with character growth, that's probably the best thing that could ever happen. Loved seeing this journey span over 4 episodes and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future, for you and your channel!
Means so much! And yes, you hit it on the head - the best part of this whole series is you see me and my friends go through authentic hero journey's and it was a natural story
@@TejasHullur to see everyone benefiting from this journey to find out something that's usually just considered trivial was beautiful to see!
this is HONESTLY one of the best videos i've seen in a while. LOVED IT!!!!!!
fun stuff, cool stuff, deep stuff and just pure art!
This series was AMAZING. Truly a representation of hard-work, dedication, and AUTHENTICITY. Tejas, appreciate you for bringing your audience a new perspective and AWARENESS
Genuinely amazing series! Left me with so many questions on how I should navigate my life moving forward and made me realize that there are tons of things I need to work on. I really resonated with the points you brought up and how you struggle with self fidelity and I genuinely think that is the one major struggle I am currently going through and I never realized it before. So, thank you for making this video and making me realize what I need to do to better myself. I genuinely really appreciate it.
Self-fidelity is one of the most important lessons of my life. Thank you for the compliments! Welcome to our corner of the internet.
Couldn't help but cry at the end. Thank you for such an honest, vulnerable and explorative video. Subscribed!
The best thing about this whole series is watching Tejas grow. You really grabbed every best core element of your videos and tied those threads together & weaved this beautiful journey. You're the guy who chases the questions he has for enlightenment. Who combines his curiosity, creativity and courage to be vulnerable. The guy who keeps doing what he loves. And you're so so so inspiring. I mean, who ever thought a docuseries about science behind attractiveness could make you cry? It's you Tejas, you move our hearts by being yourself. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR GIVING THIS GIFT.
PS: Your corner of the internet is the warmest place to be.
This is one of the best compliments I’ve ever received. Thank you so much 🥹
@TejasHullur you go Tejas, gonna be always here to remind you of how amazing and magical and inspiring you are (yes, there is gonna be more best compliments)
You’ve found your style! I know it’s been a journey but you should be so proud. Great series!
Didn’t even realize this was an hour either haha. Props to you 👏
It’s incredible that this entire documentary is free to watch! It’s so insightful and powerful-it really resonates. Amazing work on the filming and storytelling, Tejas.
27:18 "any follow up questions?" "We were having a conversation" is so funny lol 😂😂😂
I'm honestly loving this series because it's allowed me to reflect and just think about my own life and how I feel about these topics. It's made me think deeper about how I act or what I think of myself physically and it's also reminded me to stay positive about myself and not to be too negative. It's definitely a journey(it hits even harder just coming out of a 15 month relationship). Thank you for these great videos and keep it up Tejas!
I really needed this right now after struggling with obsession too. The journey of what you’ve discovered is beautiful and its bittersweet having the answer be the most simplest phrase we’ve heard “just be yourself” ❤
Today I couldn’t find a video that held my attention long enough to watch. I unknowingly clicked on the first episode of this series because it’d been in my recommended for awhile, and I’m proud to say that I just sat and binged all four episodes! The storytelling, cinematography, music, and just charisma of everyone involved made me instantly hooked. Congrats on making this amazing docuseries! I’ve laughed so much, gained insight about myself and others, and as a new subscriber, I’m so excited to see more! I know I’ll be thinking about this series for awhile and I’ll recommend it to all of my friends to watch. Thanks so much for all your and your team’s hard work and dedication!!!
Gravy, wow. I'm so glad you enjoyed, learned, laughed and more! Welcome to our corner of the internet.
I just wanted to take this chance to thank you for creating this docu-series. I myself have had a failed relationship a few months ago that went eerily similar to yours where I couldn't quite figure out what I did wrong. And now, with the conclusion of your series I've realized that the reason as to why things didn't work out for me was because I, in some way, suppressed who I really am and wasn't self-confident enough, similar to your case - and for that I want to thank you for bringing this to light. I hope this doesn't come off as weird because you obviously don't know me, but really man, thank you!
I'm stoked to see more of what you create
You should be really proud of this series. I don't know you but I am incredibly proud of you showed yourself, be vulnerable but also taught us something.
This series was absolutely amazing! I am so grateful that I found these episodes when they all came out. PEAK docuseries
thank you for following along the whole ride and all the delays we've had hahaha
3 was the winner hands down
The quality of this docu-series is GREAT! On par with a giant coorperation with millions of followers. Really clear to see the time and energy you've put into this. This project and your channel deserve a lot more love
The moment "self-fidelity issue" was mentioned, I cried. This was such a revealing experience for me, thank you Tejas for putting yourself out there and making such genuine informative content! I somehow feel uplifted, like something has been weighing me down for a long time, and now a voice is telling me that everything's alright, that it's okay. Am a huge fan of yours now.
(p.s.: I love the way you laugh)
This is probably, and I am not exaggerating, the best piece of content I have ever saw on the internet. It was fun to watch and edited perfectly, but at the same time so interesting and enlightening.
Thank you so much for this series, hope you will have much more followers and attention, because your content is really something else in UA-cam.
Can I just say that the production quality of this entire series was just spot on! I have see my fair share of video essays and docu-series, but this is by far the best. The story telling was beautiful! Loved it!
Throughout this entire series, your musicwork has been just immaculate. Your catalog, cutting, timing, expression. Immaculate.
Insightful investigation into beauty. What I found is that, to be an attractive person, you have to be attracted to yourself. Not in a weird narcissistic way, but in a way that you recognize your past self and see the progress you've made so far. To me that is attraction. This is far more crucial than all the weird gizmo's we do to make ourself more attractive according to a "STANDARD" that deems yourself as attractive. Find your strengths, work incredibly hard in them, and over a period of time (yes sometimes its a decade long process) you will see yourself in the mirror and be attracted to the progress. Stay grounded and humble during the process, never boast, only try to attract one love life person (i.e. wife) into your life, and try to maintain lasting relationships with everyone. You will feel complete then for that aspect of your life.
Haaa my gawd, this is such an amazing journey, thank you so much tejas i love you, i cried at the ending, the thing bout self fidelity is so true, and ahhhh now all i gotta do is be Con-Fident! Once again love you and thaks for this series ❤️🎀
This video has inspired me in countless ways, and with your great storytelling, amazing concepts and a very powerful message about confidence - it's changed the way I view things. Keep up the great work! Absolutely brilliant!
Great video Tejas!
I really appreciate your idea on making this video and the intention.
Can't express enough how genius & authentic this guy is. Thanks!
This summer, I went through one of the most tumultuous relationships and experiences in my life. And a massive trait I kept seeing is how fluid I was, how much I didn't trust my own judgement, and how easily I conformed to someone else's. I didn't know why I was such a pushover and had all these qualities related to not being true to myself and not being the one who would define situations, but now I finally see it, I finally see a word that encapsulates this perfectly - self-fidelity. I realize I dont know exactly what my values are and how I don't have faith in myself or those values to the extent that I want to either. Thank you Tejas for giving me that insight. I felt like I never had it before and it opened up a whole new world of how I can improve myself and tackle my anxieties and fears to become a better version of me. Thank you so much. This episode and the ending especially is something that has already deeply impacted me.
Thank you for making this, Tejas. I, too, am on a similar journey, and this helps paint a clearer picture of an inkling about myself I noticed, but couldn’t put words to describe it. I clapped at the end of the video as this, to me, felt like cinema, even if people might frown upon the usage of the word on this style of visual storytelling. It’s because you are able to convey complex ideas and weave a compelling narrative that I truly applaud you for, and I would like to wish you all the best! Keep up the great work!
whoa wisdom at the end. LOVE that. something I have taken years to discover for myself. self-fidelity. be true to yourself even when its painful
WOW such a fantastic series. truly a gem on UA-cam. can't believe I'm watching this for free - it's beautifully shot, scripted, evidence backed and keeps you engaged (I didn't skip through one bit in this one). I especially loved the use of metaphors in the end. Excited for whatever comes next!!
Thank you so much for a lovely and enticing series. I rarely sit down and watch UA-cam on my tv, often preferring to watch on my phone or computer. However I chose to watch each of your incredible productions on my tv sharing with friends and family. Really appreciate the effort and energy you put into these videos. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you!
Tejas you are an icon for making this. You’ve touched the lives of thousands. Thank you
Wow. Let me just say that watching this series has been incredible and the fact that I was able to watch it for free is even more incredible. It kept me captivated the whole time and I can say that I learned a lot from this series. This is some phenomenal work. I'm fully invested in your channel now and I'm looking forward to all your future videos. Keep it coming!
Really great video and series!! I enjoyed it very much. But I can’t be the only one who noticed that each girl had a different favourite candidate, which contributes to the argument that attractiveness is still quite subjective
This has helped me a lot too Tejas! I'm someone who struggles with self-confidence and doesn't view themselves as very attractive. I have asked myself the same questions you asked and I'm truly thankful for this series. I really have a lot to think about
Tejas I've been following your content since the last 2 years, and I've gotta say this has to be one of the best Docu-series I've seen on UA-cam. You've come a long way, can't wait to see what you create in future!
this was excellent, I couldn't stop watching. I love Tejas, Shervin, Thomas and Hope. Nice to meet Kolt & Veljko
One of if not the best youtube video I’ve ever seen. I used to overthink so often and many times it was about what confidence meant in terms of attracting and you completely answered that for me. Thank you!
The quality of this content is insaine
Beautifully made. Thank you tejas ❤
Yo I love this channel, I love your videos, and I. Want. More of em! Keep em coming Tejas! 🫶🫶🫶
this is an insanely well made documentary. well done
🥹
i really appreciate all of your effort Tejas, that you put in to create such a documentary. im 18 and ive been thinking about "attractiveness" for a while, i was always the one whos asking and also the one whos answering based on my own observations. and then i saw that you filmed this documentary, i thought it would be worth watching to see what others thinking about attractiveness but you chose to come up with the science for giving answers, which i really appreciate.
im personally really into psychology, so this last video of the series was a lil more meaningful for me. i feel like i learnt and will learn a lot.
and it was really nice to see a dude who overcame his insecurities pretty well that he is now helping the others. i wish you the best for your life. and i hope you will be discovered by the true population as soon as possible ✊🙋♂💗🎀
by the way you have a cool name.
Tejas & Ken absolutely killed it. So proud of you both 🥺. This is just the beginning, 2025 will be special.
An Update on Contestant 3:
Contestant 3 is now single and his life has continued its descent down a cliff. Fortunately he reached the bottom and is now climbing back up. Only time will tell if this is an endless journey of pushing a bolder up a cliff to only find oneself at the bottom each time, but then again he always admired Sisyphus.
Poor veljko 🥲🙌🏿 u got this king
@@iManual we got this
You’re adorable, I hope you enjoy the climb back up and grow more comfortable with who you are ❤️
bro, what were you thinking during the first half of the story? I feel like I saw you go through the 5 stages of grief
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@focusfernand0thank you bro you made me laugh out loud i dont even remember last time that happened
That was beautiful. Thank you for educating the world.
i loved this whole series & i enjoyed learning about the scientific aspects of attractiveness while discovering new things about myself! thank you for this masterpiece, i can’t wait to see what else you bring us Tejas :)
That was such a heart-warming and enlightening watch!! Thank you.
I loved the three pillars of non-physical attraction.
I think in relation to your breakup, the problem was that you felt that you didn’t deserve that person, and this insecurity can really bleed into a relationship. It seems like you are becoming more confident on this journey and learning your self worth because you do in fact have a lot of value to give!! Looking forward to seeing more of your content ❤
I have really appreciated this journey, ive appreciated it because it has helped me to learn about my own failed relationship and i am grateful to you for sharing this with us.
Thank you
Truly beautiful Tejas, especially at the end I cried, I feel exactly what you and for the first time see that some other person goes through what I do. I also always didn’t understand the reason why I cling or change for the person, but now I know it’s about my values and my true self that I still need to discover at my young age of 22. Incredible documentary, please keep on creating, there is a bright future ahead of you! Would love to meet up when someday will visit NYC again 🥹🙏
The whole concept was really well made I was invested the whole way through. I think in the future don’t give scores and the reasonings to the contestants after each round and save it to the end. Only show it to the contestants. Wanted to see natural behavior because as the show went on the contestants are catching on and being self conscious and may act more.
INCREDIBLE series
I feel like the previous endings have had the same shot of looking into the mirror and I've seen it as analyzing yourself, but with the lead up at the end it felt like you were looking at the viewer instead, the whole ending hit me so hard
Well done Tejas!
This series was eye opening and I loved the ending. Couldn't have resonated more with it. Keep it up 😌
What a great final episode and what a great series! Very high quality and interesting stuff. Thank you for sharing so much, and being brave, thoughtful and vulnerable. It's been great to get to understand more about you, and to have you help me understand more about myself too!
This is such an underrated series and this deserves a million views. Keep killing it you are making it big one day.
Tejas, firstly, what a great production! Congratulations on that.
I would like to appreciate one of the numerous other good characteristics - the coherence of the entire 4-part series. It was spot on. The use of the places, took us to back the premise immediately. Their repetition prepared us for the following content.
You are one of my fav creators! I hope you take a good break after this long journey.
And it sure as hell taught me a lot. Gave me something to improve upon
We can tell you spent a lot of time on this series. I enjoyed all of the episodes. Thank you!!
I don’t usually comment on videos..but the thoughts and reflections at the end is incredible. Thank you for making this video.
Wow this production quality is top notch. I was stunned when I looked down and saw you only had 100k subs. Keep up the great work man
What a great series! Well done on a beautiful documentary ❣️
Wow. I’ve never been on a first date like that, but if I ever have to. I know what I need! Always a banger from Tejas. As a psych major these things are very intriguing
That conclusion was truely beautiful
not gonna lie this was actually really interesting loved it man
I really loved this series. It was deep, meaningful, and impactful while also having some fun and light hearted moments. The editing and shots are also amazing, I can’t imagine how many hours your spent on each video. 😭 Thank you for sharing your perspective about our simultaneously objective and subjective societal standard of beauty and attractiveness in general. I love seeing content that makes a difference in my perspective or makes me think more deeply about a topic. I wish you all the best and I know you’ll make it far if you keep doing what you’re doing. Just remember to stay true to your roots and who you are no matter how much popularity you gain or attention you get. God bless. 😊💖
Didn't even know this video was almost an hour, just shows how good this is.
perfect timing with this serie of videos, thanks!
I'm sure it'll be so helpful
This was an amazing video to stumble upon. Thank you for this.
This is one of the most beautifuly made videos I’ve seen in a while goated, I hope he pops off with this series
Such a beautiful, insightful, funny and well crafted documentation. Crafts/videos and messages like these let you forget the depressive rut youre in, think at life differently and may help some to get out of their hole again. Thank you, your videos do have an impact
This was truly a cinematic masterpiece, I cannot begin to understand the work you’ve put in. Thank you.
Guys i'd like to thank you all for making this video, this educational film really helped me in acknowledging traits that i was blind too, for the longest time and this video just served as an eye opener and just gave me hope that i can find myself a significant other and how to keep one. There's a lot that i learned from this video and i wish i could share it all but i don't wanna write an essay and i loved the music 🥰 it's not often you find videos this educational and heart warming, but i'm glad that i came across the video and hope you guys keep up the good work as i will be following you guys from now on and share this channel to my friends coz i feel like they'd learn a lot from this channel just as i did and yeah that will be all bye!🥰😇
This was such a high quality video. Please make many more! I have subscribed because of this.
I discovered you since the Tinder video u made. Seeing you putting together this series, especially the message behind this episode, I'm just truly astonished by the level of depth you have reached and how well you packaged it for the young audience. I have the same approach with my field too, like the fearlessness of going into important ideas and tackling them in a way that will most definitely leave a clear, impactful learning lesson for a wide audience. You did that very well and almost definitely you will be valued by not only us (Gen Z) but also lots of experts in the field (doing this so professionally and fun!). Lol a side sharing of why this resonates so much with me is that I pretty much experience the message about dating in real-time (through a coincidentally very rigorous dating journey for over a year, even more, challenging yet as rigorous as how I pursue my field). I just tested my hypothesis about what I like in guys (zodiac signs, looks, finance, personality, jobs, value alignment, compatibility, how our relationship deals with problems), dated, and reflected. And I get what you are saying about the girl you paired with in the episode, even though we know what we want to do in our career and have a good life going on, the person you really like, the high emotional aspect of the relationship, still leads them or you to overexplain or suppress how each other present themselves (which is the saddest way to end things yet it taught u that relationships is for you to learn the hardest lesson about yourself, to truly love yourself in honoring of your values). I gradually became more present and curious in other aspects of my life as I want through guys too. Relationships are truly very hard, as you guys discussed, even in the connection you find instant warmth and comfort not necessarily the personal journey of that person, which may align with you. And it is very hard to make yourself feel like you gonna be okay again (it is great that you have a strong interest and success in your career to bounce back fairly well), but an unexpected one will come along, appreciate, and take on that before you get that they do lol. Yeah and those three elements of self-fidelity, curiosity, and warmth are actually the three main elements I instinctively built my app design project around (thank you so much for introducing Dr. Smithyman, give me solid research to look through lol oh I'm a graphic design major btw). Anyways, keep going, ur brain is great and I'm excited for more of your projects in the future.
