As a wise man once said:
“I love myself, even though I look like a burnt chicken nugget, I still love myself.”
No wonder it was a wise *man*; contrarily to women, men are allowed to love themselves.
@Marie what???? Plz tell me you’re joking
@@rosiebowers1671 I hope you’re joking. 🙃
I think Marie wanted to say that man are not forced to wear makeup and to all that ,,you must because you're woman" shits
@@samuelsvrcek4547 hmm maybe but it’s usually men who are made fun of when wearing makeup so ig it can be the other way around too
My heart broke when that girl said she did not feel beautiful at all , cuz she is so beautiful and they all have some great unique features
seeker of peace yesss
That girl is me. I look like her I and struggle with my appearance since a long time. When she said that she doesnt consider herself beautiful I had to cry so hard because she is soooo beautiful but then I look into the mirror and I only see my "flaws". Damn society, media and advertisment to manipulate us to an extent that we look into the mirror and instead of seeing our beauty we wanna undergo every plastic surgery which is offered on this planet. I hate the human species so much sometimes. But girl in 3.41 min you are a diamond.😢
@@s.a.8106 Girl don't follow what the social media define beautiful because what they defining beautiful now they considered it ugly 10 years ago. Look at your smile, or the way you laugh and it reaches other rooms, or how your eyes reflect the light, how your body protects you from anything that harms you through literally thick and thin, how you are able to see many different colors and landscapes or hear so many different sounds and birds chirping. Trust me I never met you but you are beautiful and the more you take care of your soul, mind and heart the more you get beautiful outside too, it like shines. As someone who struggled with this and it's overcoming it I wanted to push you to go beyond what few people think about you
@@nilleyi2231 thank u so much for ur message❤️ it's just really hard u know I grew up in a society where there is an immense pressure on women to look beautiful. Unfortunately it shape my perspective in a negative way. It's really hard to accept yourself the way u are when there is this luring promise of plastic surgery around the corner...
@@s.a.8106 Anybody does what they want with their body, but if you start changing it you will just find more flaws, loving yourself is a whole journey, it may even take all your life but it feels so good because you are accepting genuinely who you are, your body after you woke up, your face with or without makeup, your eyes after crying, everything . It takes small steps but worth it. You may do a nose job for example and in a few years there will be a new trend or you won't like it anymore or worse it could have health damage on you. Changing what you consume is the biggest tip I have, instead of making it about influencers crazy lifestyles what about art or poetry or travelling stuff.
This is society not just the media. It didn't start with the media.
True... Social media just intensified it...
media can never be started without society, it can never be famous without the help of society and it can never exist without society creating it
@@waffles2317 we live in a society
Natural selection
Thank you
Good thing i learned that i am fearfully and wonderfully made by my Creator..
Exactly...
You're absolutely right. For me, the beauty standards began with the Devil.
Let's face it, all these standards of beauty are unrealistic.Majority of the people who are considered beautiful by the media and society attained that beauty through unnatural means.
They’re not unrealistic you’re just told her unrealistic that was a word that was created by the body acceptance and the fat acceptance movement to negate skinny people and also to negate people who are naturally attractive to make people who don’t feel attractive, feel better about themselves. Beauty is what you make it can let other people tell you would beauteous, or you can be the standard.
This is so sad. Being white isn't the definition of beauty. True beauty is being yourself and accepting who you are. Don't believe the media. Everyone has beauty in them.
Samera Rachyal aw
Im white and i dont feel beautiful !!!!!
@@marianafrancisco7551 you are beautiful... Just the way u are...
Always society accept beauty as white why I don't know
@@angelsaju1634 It is because this society was built by whites. No suprise lmao
Just want to let everyone know that you are beautiful in your own way. We all have different skin tones, hair, eyes, bodies, etc. It would be boring if it wasn't that way. Just take care of your body and stay healthy. Be kind to others. Shine from the inside
They're ALL beautiful
We're all beautiful
If society didn't have an image of what the "perfect" person looked like would we still look in the mirror and not like what we see?
Probably not tbh
This 'perfect' body image that society creates is actually fake. VERY FAKE. We're smart enough to understand that we humans we all have different body sizes/shapes and it's impossible for us to achive a specific one. It's normal for some people to feel insecure because it's natural and it's okay if someone wants to work out to achieve the body type that they are aiming at. What is not okay is when people start being obsessed over physique, when they obsess over having the perfect body type and that's when they become depressed and take huge risks(tons of surgeries,starving) etc to get what they desperately want. If you'd like to change your physique, then do so without considering the wants of society. Do it for yourself and don't obsess over it.
OK, is it only me that doesn't find kylie beautiful? When I think of kylie I think of an hourglass body (a bit un proportional) , big lips, small nose, long hair, tan, and all the wowowos but I never think of the word beautiful for kylie. Don't get me wrong everyone is beautiful but if you observe in the video that's how everyone sees her, (slim waist, big boobs, perfect thighs etc) on the other hand most people will think of Emma Watson, zendaya, naomi scott and Ashley Graham as beautiful even though they don't have all the perfect kylie features and come from different races. This is because the human mind finds beauty in others who have confidence in their imperfections. When we think of kylie we think of the desired body or perfect insta girls or even hot (like coffee lol) but not the word beautiful. These girls don't know how beautiful they are because they are not confident . My dad always tells us that nobody is ugly but as long as they groom themselves. All those insta girls take hours to prepare and edit their photos and thats okay, we are blood and bone be confident and don't stress about the little things in life
Exactly❤Well said👏🏻
The perfect advice which I need in my life 🙂🙏👏
Kylie isn't beautiful at least she used to be. Natural= beautiful.
exactly omg. kylie isn’t the word “beautiful” she’s more something else, she just looks so fake looking
not yall plastic surgery shaming. U realize ur preaching girls uplifting girls but at the same time shaming someone who modified their body or looks naturally that way.
The girl with the long dark hair and pink shirt is my definition of beautiful and she doesn’t even see it! Wow!
Baffling!!!
agreed!
"What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word... Beauty?"
Slave.
Our present-day beauty standards are enslaving.
Women don't have equal rights.
In some social circles, men lack natural rights, too.
We have natural rights for things like not shaving, not wearing clothes, wearing clothes, shaving, etc. It should be our own personal decision.
Paulo Chan yea well not every country is first world
Paulo Chan yea I see where your coming from. Though I think most of them aren’t necessarily talking about rights just how they get treated by society
Paulo Chan yes I know. I’m just talking about rights. Not the beauty standards thing. Ik I’m bad at explaining things
Paulo Chan women are always in danger of losing some of their rights (eg abortion). just because women don’t want to sleep with you doesn’t mean they have more rights than you but i doubt you were born with enough human empathy to understand that
@@lg7855 lol!! this is not even related to the argument. First world woman complain about trivial things. They should come to Indian village or live in middle East.
In my opinion, beauty is a difficult thing, because for other people 'beauty' can be different. There's a big problem in modern society because a lot of people try to live up to other people expectations and now we can see a big gap between the beauty standards and the real people
I am proud to say I am that 4%.
We just need to increase that by 96% and its perfect
We need to stop society
This is a really powerful video that states a serious topic but while listening it sounded like most of you were insecure about yourself and took it out on the famous people who are/and models. Everyone has a different view of what beauty is, you just have to be yourself and embrace your inner beauty. Blaming the internet for praising other people that are beautiful especially celebs like Kylie Jenner is not the right way to make yourself feel better. Ripping images of models who may or may not be insecure as well won't be a good impression from this video. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and there is no reason to be judging each other if you feel differently about certain beauty standards.
THISSSSSS
Beauty standards society upholds are illusions. Cherish yourself because no matter what you do, those desirable features and images are always going to be out of reach.
Brought me to tears to see how many suffer from this but it made me realize a lot
Social media has warped our ideas of beauty. I don't do twitter/snapchat/facebook or anything else. UA-cam is my version of social media LOL. I see beauty in individuals, people who are compassionate and caring and funny. I see beauty in every dimple and line and age because that shows we are alive and real and living through everything both past and present. When I see models and images from twitter here on youtube, I see fakeness and masks and nothing appealing. I am me and I am unique, no one else is me and can never be me. Be proud to be YOU. When I saw these people on this documentary, I found them all beautiful, unique and interesting. The fake people are...dull...the same...
I know what beauty means but people around me don't know the real meaning of BEAUTY
What’s the real meaning of beauty??
Every human being is Beautiful.
Always remember that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Don't let other people's opinions define who you are. Be confident😘
No one is born ugly, we are just born in a judgemental society
-Kim Namjoon BTS
Why I wanna hug them?
.Media is gettin disguisting more than ever before it make us feel depressed. Objectification of human being seem to have become their business,they 've forgotten the real value of a person.
True
It felt more like an " I'm insecure because I don't look like models" video.
I agree with you.
Personally, I learned to stop comparing myself to instagram models. We can’t control how our faces look, our skin color, how big our boobs are, acne, hair, ect. I just let myself be me. That doesn’t mean I don’t take care of myself or letting myself look like the grinch all the time.
What sets beauty standards? Models and media 🙄
The definition of beauty to me: *not me*
Trash Teen no you’re beautiful, 💕
@@33debbie52 naw bro I look like a troll--
i still think you’re pretty though sis 😽
@@33debbie52 you're probably more beautiful than me sis 😓
@Trash Teen • You’re beautiful because you have a great sense of humor❣️
Up to this day beauty standards have its own visual,beauty allows us to be ruled,but i really believe that the real essence of beauty is just accepting your flaws and imperfections,at the moment we learn how to accept those problems,we began to be who we are,you i always lost self confident,but when i think and saw the bright said of i said,oh you know beauty is not all about face and body it should be the total package beauty in the.outside and the inside.Remember you are beautiful,just the way you see your self!
This is really powerful, thank you for sharing this.
Don't you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep on shining like you do because beauty starts within you. 😚❤️
Thanks for this video.
wow! True beauty is just is. everyone is beautiful. will definitly share in my facebook group!!!
physical beauty standards are ok but charisma is more beautiful
Beautiful is anything that pleases the heart
"Once day you realize all your insecurities are your greatest strenght"
None of this will ever change so long as these industries need their money. They don't care how their standards affect anyone's self-image. 😒
So sad , so beautiful ❤💔
wow. just wow.
I love beauty! Big gorgeous hair..full facial features..beautiful color! People in wheelchairs with head tilted and giving a big smile.. glasses with a big smile and scrunched up nose. All so Beautiful! Omg. We are all so beautiful! ❤❤❤
i want to give the person with pink hair and black glasses (3:51) a hug
Pretty depressing music, but the docu is interesting and thought provoking.
Amazing 👌😍🙌
I love thiss
The first girl could be a model, with that face and that eyes (almond in form but so big) could be high fashion model for editorials. And her skin💕 And her profile it's do clean, witch is rare.
Yeah, she's gorgeous but you know what they're going to do to her after a photoshoot, even though she'll have tons of make up and good lighting to make her look (PERFECT), they'll Photoshop her image because what is considered beautiful today, is unrealistic.
However, it is important to note that beauty standards should not be limited to one particular race or ethnicity. Embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity in beauty standards can help individuals feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin, regardless of their physical appearance.

They all look beautiful 💯

man she is so beautiful
“Love the blonde look” is like saying “love the whitewashed look”, especially if the subject identifies as Asian or Latino.
Alison Chung It has to do with what the complimenter was really saying. It’s because Caucasian looks are being idealized. They’re saying something like “To be beautiful means to look Caucasian.” That’s referred to on Wikipedia as Eurocentrism.
@@davidhill8565 I am not attracted to blondes but if someone has a preference for blonde women they should have the right to be attracted to that. You cannot force someone what they can find or not find attractive.
No one in India is concerned about beauty , it is a topic of fashion and film industry because general people have very less time on improvising their beauty. A lot of time is given for work job and daily activities. It is a topic of discussion only during marriage. I like the fact that here in indian subcontinent people are not so much connected "emotionally " on beauty subject. Have a life your looks are not gonna run the world and not your life either. Work on greening the grass of your soul.

@@hinafathimafazalkhan3520 where I come from more emphasis is given on productivity of your work even at home or between my friend circle . Tastes vary from metropolises to towns. I have already seen this vedio. I am telling people not to take it seriously.
Well im indian and i dont think so at all
@@gayvodka1849 I can't say the same about everyone.
@Paras Pathania I'm Indian and you're 100% wrong. By the way you talk, you must be a light skinned Indian, because light-skinned Indians don't have to deal with beauty. They already have it all. If you're dark skinned, your lack of beauty consumes and destroys your whole world.
how do you use songs like this without getting copyrighted? I really want to use a song but I don't know how to avoid copyright?
First word that comes to mind: Impossible
It's been three years still underrated
She is so pretty & she said she not 😠 made me mad she is gorgeous
I just said happy...
These so called beauty standards killing our self confidence
I have all the ugly things
1dark skin tone
2- acne
3- scars
All these things makes me uncomfortable and restless in every face of my life . Nobody is there to support me and say something good to me .They all always see my face . It's very hard for me to maintain my self-esteem .
❤😥
(Who will marry you like this) that’s what my family relatives say to me intent of joking and this destroyed me mentally I hated myself and realized that no one would really love me if I didn’t follow their damned standards Although I am skinny, they criticize me even girls with overweight are criticized, whether you are skinny or fat, they will criticize everything about you so don’t care what they say and love yourself as you are. you will find the person who loves you unconditionally.
Society views on issues can be confusing and misleading..we can standardise them with few known examples and cost benefit analysis and then come to conclusions
Kudos to these young people for sharing their stories. However, I find it hypocritical that Teen Vogue and Marc Jacobs are listed in the credits when they help to perpetuate these "societal beauty standards." They have given the Kardashians a platform to redefine beauty through filters and plastic surgeries (ALLEGEDLY), which has left many young men and women insecure and hopeless.
I think the one that breathes is beautiful.
"True beauty?, What is this true beauty??"
So are all the women in the video.
All the men and women in this video.
*we are all beautiful I no these few words are hard to go by but try to be kind and spread and bloom motivation everyday love u humans stay strong stay u* 💖
Alguém sabe onde achar esse vídeo dublado?
Being beautiful is being Rare
Confidence and character is what makes people attractive, regardless of the visual appearance and vice versa. You can be pretty and still be unattractive.

Here after looking through the amiugly sub on reddit...
i think society has made us so much fixated on trying to meet unreal standards, especially for women, always made women caged in a bunch of definitions. That too since a long long time. Only recently has it escalated so much due to the media and every product around you shoving it in your face.
Kate Beckinsale, Cate Blanchett, Heather Graham, Daryl Hannah, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma Thurman... These are not the standards of beauty upheld by all men, or even the majority of men...
These are the standards of Harvey Weinstein.
Only woman that is good looking in that list is Salma Hayek. Rest of them look plastic. Gywneth looks like a man.
What’s that supposed to mean?
@@uni-cc7hd Because Harvey Weinstein was the one who got to pick out which actresses that were going to appear in Hollywood movies, it is a standard set by a Jewish man follow by others in Hollywood who are also largely of Jewish heritage.
the korean scenerio is just like me because i am doing the same with myself. Whwnever i look myself in the mirror ifeel disgusting and most of all, my teeth are crooked so i want to punch myself really hard. it is becoming very difficult for me to accept myself because it hurts when i see other beautiful but i myself looks ugly

That 5 percent and 45 percent figure is honestly just stupid, feeling that you are not beautiful and being unhappy are completely different

It's true that white people and white features can be pedestaled in the media and I support this vid, however the existence of beautiful white models doesn't detract from the fact that many POC are beautiful. That isn't an either or thing. I think sometimes insecure POC people play into that wider system themselves by perpetuating that "white is better" narrative, even via talking about beauty standards. It is even condescending sometimes. It's also silly to follow the media so much, especially celebs that were popular 10 years ago instead of focusing more on the future. And celeb worship and social media obsession has always been toxic. Representation and more inclusion and praising of POC features/colours is important for sure but so is general mindset and the way we talk about a lot of these topics. Sometimes I see a lot of projection from POC / minorities onto others.
The people they showed aren't even remotely ugly. I feel like I have zero representation. Being young, white and skinny doesn't make you even average, I am so goddamn ugly
Representation should come from the mind and the heart. So, you do have representation. ❤️❤️
This is really sad... I feel sad about this, the girls in the video are actually beautiful, they are beautiful in their own way, in their own characteristic, everyone is beautiful.... look at their gorgeous skin too ❤ Being beautiful is not just having pretty trait on face or perfect body (by standard), it’s a one package, it comes as a whole with the vibrant aura from each person.
Anyone is here because of Mr. Steve 🤣
Those 26 dislikes are fake Barbie dolls
Loud ass piano at the beginning could not hear what the first 2 persons were saying
These beauty standards are so stupid in my opinion. Back in the day there were models of all kinds showing that it’s okay to be yourself no matter how you look now it’s just different.
Girls:
-Wide Hips
-Fuller Breast
-Bigger Butt
-Thin Legs
-High levels of Symmetry
-High pitched Voice
-High Cheek Bones
-Act “Lady” Like
-Dress “Lady” Like
-Etc.
Guys:
-Skinned toned
-Abs
-“Strong” in physical appearance
-Sharp Jawline
-Tall
-Muscular
-Dress like a “man”
-Behave like a “Man
-Etc.
These lead to starvation, eating disorders, low self esteem, suicide, anxiety, depression, etc. This society is messed up ruining how other people see themselves. We shouldn’t be afraid to stand up to toxic beauty standards.
We're taught to "never judge a book by its cover" but we Literally do the opposite
Beauty standards are standards for a reason
There should be NO beauty standards at all because everyone is beautiful in their OWN way!!
Most societal beauty standards are related to being wealthy in some way, which a mark of success in a society.
Okay not gonna lie I laughed really hard at that white people response in the beginning
Ikr our generation is pathetic
It sucks, but I kinda feel guilty for having certain preferences. I like women who is just skinny with their hair body (legs and armpits) shaved, i don’t wanna torture them I just find them pretty. I really don’t care nor am I interested in big booty and plastic face. I don’t want nicki minaj or Kim kardashian wannabes. Do you think I should change the way how I look about women or should I just abolish my preference?
And who wouldnt want these women presented in the video. The beauty industry has really Takin it too far.
Hey, it's totally normal to have preferences as long as you value and respect others regardless of what type of beauty they possess 😊
It's not about abolishing your preferences, it's about not pressuring women to fit those preferences too many men seem to find themselves attracted to a woman only to critique every part of her body and your actually emotionally hurting the woman you do that to.
Hi beed1a hhahaa pangatsura yo hahaha

Multi Ethnic Destruction In America - Professor Griff
I don't get it? Are you saying multiculturalism is wrong ?
@@MrALenCar321 That sentence is an acronym for the word M.E.D.I.A. The patrons of commercials advertising goods and services (in the media) sold and provided by multi-million dollar businesses are funding widespread perpetuation of insidious ideologies to impressionable people ACROSS ALL CULTURES AND RACES who also happen to be helpless and susceptible to the absorption of such messages because somehow a huge chunk of this new generation is a demographic of people who don't have real and wise mentors and role models who help develop their characters; they have Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok which inaccurately redefine beauty, wisdom and what it takes to be happy and successful. This is basically what I meant. I never said multiculturalism is wrong - if anything I encourage it😉
But why does everyone care about the media so much?
The media influences a lot of things including what types of people are seen as beautiful
@@RS-ti7bz but if we don't get influenced and just follow our heart, it would be good
It's not only the media but most of all the sick society.

Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15:3
Is this supposed to revelatory? Advertising exists. Advertising executives and their corporate overlords choose the standards for everything in the modern world. Your petty personal resentment misses the stark reality of the problem. If you are oppressed by advertising standards you are choosing to give the corporate powers that be power over your self image. Who is really to blame for that? Whatever you do though stop whining and take back the power from the corporate masters and plutocrats.
