@HDTomo Dude, having belly fat doesn't automatically make you "obese." You do realize there are technically several levels to body weight/fat disbursement? Even just going by general vibe on obesity, having belly fat doesn't mean that, either. Back when I was thin (I was for most of my life until having my son), even being 110 lbs into adulthood at 5'5", I STILL had some belly chub and a little muffin top. Body type helps determine that. I've seen woman skinnier than I ever was that had belly fat. It's a female thing and it's natural. I know you were being facetious, but the way you say things can have a negative impact on people.
I have a strong temperament, so I aspire to be responsible, mature, stable and reliable. I don't get why people want to be bad, maybe when young? But when we are immature we should aspire to be better than this.
@jonintrovertedpotato3866 When women say that like "bad boys" they actually mean rebellious, spontaneous, and cool. Not actually a bad person, just someone who doesn't conform. They're actually saying that they want adventure from the norm
"If you were good looking, you were a good person" I'm sure Narcissus would agree with you, but he's too caught up in his own perfect reflection to reply right now.
Yes, in Ancient Greece, being beautiful was associated with being a good person. There was even a saying about that: being "καλὸς κἀγαθός" (kalos kagathos / kalos kai agathos) meant being "beautiful and virtuous". _Kalos = beautiful,_ like in calli-graphy (beautiful-writing) _Kai = and_ _Agathos = good, virtuous,_ like in the surname "Agatha"
I'm so glad that people acknowledge that Aphrodite was chubby because they thought it was beautiful back then- I helped myself out of an awful ED when I found out that she was curvy and the goddess of beauty, it gave me a reason to embrace my body and take better care of it!
You better go for a walk and loose some weight. Guys might like you for who you are but your heart won't. Heart attack is one of the biggest cause of death.
Finding out Aphrodite was curvy helped you with erectile dysfunction? Seriously, most guys don't want a bean pole and I don't know why that has been popularized by models. Most guys like a bit of curve and meat on the bone. Just be healthy, whatever your healthy body is.
having the same body type as a lot of the aphrodite statues (and the same as a lot of renaissance paintings) makes me feel a lot better about my body tbh
The small p3nis thing is incorrect. They depicted them as smaller in art becuase it SYMBOLISED a person overcoming their inner beast and become a higher being. It was a symbol of their intellect controlling their instincts and not the other way around, which is why they are depicted with beards (the sign of the philosopher). Also it's just much more aesthetic in art, imagine if all those beautiful statues had huge dongs, it would look ridiculous and comical
I'd actually prefer a normal penis on a statue, rather than all the men having baby penises. Is it just me? Statues of grown men with baby penises is just so strange.
I think the artist did things the way they wanted no rules or guidelines. Artistic license realism or fantasy whatever they felt inspired to do; no analytical definitions of what was " correct art".
It's something it was like that. After that people went to believing they had to be like a 70s supermodel on a lettuce diet,to looking upt to entertainers like Lizzo.
@@nickeni3050 i googled it Strawberry blonde belongs to the red hair group. 'Strawberry blonde is the lightest shade of red hair. Other tones in this color group include mahogany, copper and Irish red. When somebody says they have strawberry blonde hair, they're stating their shade of red.
In Ancient Greece, the small pps in statues were depicted as such so as not to distract the viewer from the focal point, ie the deity in question and/or because it's thought they believed that a longer pp meant the liquid children would have to travel longer and lose their strength and virility whereas smaller pp meant it would be more potent and easy to reach the destination with less distance. These are my favourite theories/possibilities as to why they depicted the male genitals like that. Also, pale skin was sought after bc it was supposed to indicate class and wealth as someone who's pale probably wasn't out working the fields etc.
In statues specifically, the reason was more that marble and stone have very low tensile strength, so if the dudes junk was too big (ie too large and too far from the body) it would inevitably break and fall off.
The ancient Greeks would have liked me then, I'm "plump", I have a belly, my thighs are fat and despite having dark hair I'm paler than a ghost dipped in flour because I burn in the summer 😂😂😂😂👍 plus I have green eyes with brown rings around the centre so that ticks the unique box 👍

I’ll make sure you have enough money for Charon to get across the River Styx.
It's worth noting that red and gold were interchangeable color terms to the Greeks and there's a lot of examples of gold being described as red. This because the root of red in proto-indo-european originally meant something closer to "shiny" rather than any sort of specific color. Things that were orange, yellow, or red were all regularly described as red since orange and yellow didn't exist as color words yet. There's a very strong possibility that by red they meant blonde hair, since that woudlve been even rarer than actual red hair. They were probably both highly sought after traits but I just wanted to point out that ancient color terms were extremely different from how we use them today. I'm using Dr. Jackson Crawford as my main source on this but there's a lot of other linguists who've talked about this and written their dissertations on it.

@@fismail4330as a Frenchman, "kalos" is not a French word. (By the way, you can tell it easily as there's only a handful of French words that contain the letter K. The letter K is almost absent from French.) However, maybe Pokemon creators named this region "Kalos" because they thought it was beautiful? Even though the region is based off France and not Greece, it still makes sense to use a Greek etymology as Greek is a prestige language which is looked up to in all western cultures (as well as Latin). Loads of sustained and literary words derive from Greek etymologies in French (and generally in European languages). So yeah, even though it's France, using somme Greek roots is not absurd. Edit: _"According to Junichi Masuda, Kalos's name is derived from the Greek word κάλλος kállos, meaning beauty."_ Source: Bulbapedia.
@@fismail4330 Because the whole plot of the game (if you can call it that) revolves around beauty so they picked a word for it that isn't super known and could pass off as a proper noun, while also sounding kinda mysterious and important.
The body/mind/spirit connection their philosophers spoke of. I think it has merit to a point. If you are healthy, you're going to be pretty attractive. Health also effects hormone balance and clarity of thought. To maintain health also requires discipline. Working out does wonders for one's overall well being, not just making them stronger/faster/etc.
Ancient Greece spanned for a lot of centuries, for instance at one point a woman having golden or blond hair was unpopular since it meant the woman was promiscuous but then a few hundred years later Greek women would lighten their hair with vinegar and lemon juice as being blond was now popular. Same with beards, early Greek era's having a beard meant you were unkept and/or a cynic. Later beards became common and a show of virility and intelligence.
That lemon juice and vinegar shit doesn't work. I tried that when I was a teenager and my hair remained jet black. I gave up after a couple of months but I don't think sticking with it would have done anything.
Thanks for this - people saying this or that was Greek standard of beauty make no sense since it changed often as fashion always did. One century artworks have pencil thin brows the other they wear an unibrow. @@takocos acid was not strong enough probably... also usually you bleach hair first and then add colors. Egyptians used henna to dye the hair reddish colors and make tattoos. You can see a lot of sub-Saharan African tribes using unusual ways to dye hair and skin. There's really no use doing that but there are many ways, and often people whose hair naturally went gray used those treatments to look less old - and dying jet black hair is way harder. Oh and basma gives dark green color so it gets mixed with henna for natural brownish colors. There's little point doing this with widely available chemical dyes that have less risk with hair turning green.)
@@takocos I heard Roman slaves used piss (and other ingredients, I think lye) to bleach Roman robes. So they were basically jumping up and down in human piss all day. Not the best career path, that's for sure.
I just like that the statues of women depicted double chins and tummy fat cuz even though I work out a lot and eat pretty clean and don’t over eat I too have a double chin and a slightly rotund tummy. I also like that their busts are never overly large or small, as I once was insecure over having an average sized bust as well. These statues help with my self esteem greatly. Any time I feel gross and ugly I just remember if I were in Ancient Greece I’d be a hot piece of Greek meat right now 😂
you know, the modern greek people still hold a lot of these features and qualities in high regard! there are a lot of greek and cypriot people in my area, and i’ve had many discussions on their personal opinions of female beauty and “peak physical attributes”, and i can safely say every single person said they prefer a more “well rounded and womanly” figure, as opposed to what other western cultures think is “a la mode” at the time, because it depicts tip top physical health and a higher likelihood to survive childbirth/have an easier childbirth. now, while it’s almost certainly not every greek person, i’d say it’s a high enough percentage to know that you’re beautiful regardless of what others think about you, and that’s the most important thing 😁 (side note, italians love a curvy gal too, so maybe you can tour the med when you get a chance, if you’re looking to get hit on a lot? 🤣)

Quite literally
in the shape of a shower
Attractive woman exists and along comes Aphrodite "how dare you be as pretty as me.."
9 months later: AND THEN ALONG CAME HERA
oh he came alright
Her "I'm into bad boys"

I have a strong temperament, so I aspire to be responsible, mature, stable and reliable. I don't get why people want to be bad, maybe when young? But when we are immature we should aspire to be better than this.
@@jonintrovertedpotato3866 spoken like a true Greek philosopher
@jonintrovertedpotato3866 When women say that like "bad boys" they actually mean rebellious, spontaneous, and cool. Not actually a bad person, just someone who doesn't conform. They're actually saying that they want adventure from the norm

That’s funny
Yes, in Ancient Greece, being beautiful was associated with being a good person. There was even a saying about that: being "καλὸς κἀγαθός" (kalos kagathos / kalos kai agathos) meant being "beautiful and virtuous".
_Kalos = beautiful,_ like in calli-graphy (beautiful-writing)
_Kai = and_
_Agathos = good, virtuous,_ like in the surname "Agatha"

Pure, Civil Men, *ASSEMBLE*
The small p3nis thing is incorrect. They depicted them as smaller in art becuase it SYMBOLISED a person overcoming their inner beast and become a higher being. It was a symbol of their intellect controlling their instincts and not the other way around, which is why they are depicted with beards (the sign of the philosopher). Also it's just much more aesthetic in art, imagine if all those beautiful statues had huge dongs, it would look ridiculous and comical
You Didn't Actually Disprove the Point but made it. You just went Deeper into it
I'd actually prefer a normal penis on a statue, rather than all the men having baby penises. Is it just me? Statues of grown men with baby penises is just so strange.
I think the artist did things the way they wanted no rules or guidelines. Artistic license realism or fantasy whatever they felt inspired to do; no analytical definitions of what was " correct art".
i mean..... who would like smaller dongs?
Actually a decent message there still, remember lads think with your main head and not your second and you can do great things

Damn, FlashGitz really wasnt playing when they made that Greek skit
It was historically accurate.
In Ancient Greece, the small pps in statues were depicted as such so as not to distract the viewer from the focal point, ie the deity in question and/or because it's thought they believed that a longer pp meant the liquid children would have to travel longer and lose their strength and virility whereas smaller pp meant it would be more potent and easy to reach the destination with less distance.
These are my favourite theories/possibilities as to why they depicted the male genitals like that. Also, pale skin was sought after bc it was supposed to indicate class and wealth as someone who's pale probably wasn't out working the fields etc.
Remember that with the statues, you look up at it from below. You don’t want it to be the focal point from your view, so they made it small.
In statues specifically, the reason was more that marble and stone have very low tensile strength, so if the dudes junk was too big (ie too large and too far from the body) it would inevitably break and fall off.
The ancient Greeks would have liked me then, I'm "plump", I have a belly, my thighs are fat and despite having dark hair I'm paler than a ghost dipped in flour because I burn in the summer 😂😂😂😂👍 plus I have green eyes with brown rings around the centre so that ticks the unique box 👍

assigning a character to someone via something out of one's control is wild.
Genetics does that all the time. Yes, personality too.
It's worth noting that red and gold were interchangeable color terms to the Greeks and there's a lot of examples of gold being described as red. This because the root of red in proto-indo-european originally meant something closer to "shiny" rather than any sort of specific color. Things that were orange, yellow, or red were all regularly described as red since orange and yellow didn't exist as color words yet.
There's a very strong possibility that by red they meant blonde hair, since that woudlve been even rarer than actual red hair. They were probably both highly sought after traits but I just wanted to point out that ancient color terms were extremely different from how we use them today.
I'm using Dr. Jackson Crawford as my main source on this but there's a lot of other linguists who've talked about this and written their dissertations on it.

@@fismail4330as a Frenchman, "kalos" is not a French word. (By the way, you can tell it easily as there's only a handful of French words that contain the letter K. The letter K is almost absent from French.)
However, maybe Pokemon creators named this region "Kalos" because they thought it was beautiful? Even though the region is based off France and not Greece, it still makes sense to use a Greek etymology as Greek is a prestige language which is looked up to in all western cultures (as well as Latin). Loads of sustained and literary words derive from Greek etymologies in French (and generally in European languages). So yeah, even though it's France, using somme Greek roots is not absurd.
Edit: _"According to Junichi Masuda, Kalos's name is derived from the Greek word κάλλος kállos, meaning beauty."_ Source: Bulbapedia.

The body/mind/spirit connection their philosophers spoke of. I think it has merit to a point. If you are healthy, you're going to be pretty attractive. Health also effects hormone balance and clarity of thought. To maintain health also requires discipline.

Ancient Greece spanned for a lot of centuries, for instance at one point a woman having golden or blond hair was unpopular since it meant the woman was promiscuous but then a few hundred years later Greek women would lighten their hair with vinegar and lemon juice as being blond was now popular. Same with beards, early Greek era's having a beard meant you were unkept and/or a cynic. Later beards became common and a show of virility and intelligence.
Times haven’t changed at all.
That lemon juice and vinegar shit doesn't work. I tried that when I was a teenager and my hair remained jet black. I gave up after a couple of months but I don't think sticking with it would have done anything.
Thanks for this - people saying this or that was Greek standard of beauty make no sense since it changed often as fashion always did. One century artworks have pencil thin brows the other they wear an unibrow. @@takocos acid was not strong enough probably... also usually you bleach hair first and then add colors. Egyptians used henna to dye the hair reddish colors and make tattoos. You can see a lot of sub-Saharan African tribes using unusual ways to dye hair and skin. There's really no use doing that but there are many ways, and often people whose hair naturally went gray used those treatments to look less old - and dying jet black hair is way harder. Oh and basma gives dark green color so it gets mixed with henna for natural brownish colors. There's little point doing this with widely available chemical dyes that have less risk with hair turning green.)

The civil men of the present on their way to make a time machine to this time:
I just like that the statues of women depicted double chins and tummy fat cuz even though I work out a lot and eat pretty clean and don’t over eat I too have a double chin and a slightly rotund tummy. I also like that their busts are never overly large or small, as I once was insecure over having an average sized bust as well. These statues help with my self esteem greatly. Any time I feel gross and ugly I just remember if I were in Ancient Greece I’d be a hot piece of Greek meat right now 😂
you know, the modern greek people still hold a lot of these features and qualities in high regard! there are a lot of greek and cypriot people in my area, and i’ve had many discussions on their personal opinions of female beauty and “peak physical attributes”, and i can safely say every single person said they prefer a more “well rounded and womanly” figure, as opposed to what other western cultures think is “a la mode” at the time, because it depicts tip top physical health and a higher likelihood to survive childbirth/have an easier childbirth. now, while it’s almost certainly not every greek person, i’d say it’s a high enough percentage to know that you’re beautiful regardless of what others think about you, and that’s the most important thing 😁
