@Gold Rose That is still his wife when they both transformed themselves with the use of the contact lens into their younger looking selves. The only difference is, she made herself blonde bc she thought that is who her husband is attracted to (he cheated with a woman who was blonde). Unless you were asking if the blonde girl in question they were talking about who she was?
@Gold Rose I don't think she made herself look physically like her husbands lover. Just added the blonde hair and blue eyes on herself. I think that would be too emotionally hard for a woman to do to make herself look like her husbands mistress. The whole film had such a sad vibe to it and made growing old seem very lonely and sad. It was really well done though because of that.:)
@Kurt Barryman Entitled? I don't think women feel entitled here. That would mean we think we are owed special treatment or that we think the world revolves around us in a arrogant way. Here she feels betrayed and feels insecure because of her husband cheating and the trust is gone. Feeling insecure and losing trust is huge for women. As women we often sometimes blame ourselves thinking we did something wrong or that we are no longer good enough for our partner. So there is no feeling of entitlement on how we are perceived, there is feeling of insecurities on how attractive we are now.
Not really. She looks good for an old f3male...which in objective terms means she is basically invisible for all men nonrelated to her. Once you hit the wall, all your power dissapears
@@Graxster Yep, exactly. He clearly still has that blonde in mind, after all these years, and he thought she'd never know that. But then he flubbed that romantic moment with her, and gave himself away, when he said that her eyes matched her blue dress. Big oops!
The story was a bit vague on the subject, but maybe the long legged blonde was a former wife that passed away. If she had just been a former lover, I think the present wife would have been more angry, it is hard to compete with a memory. Next time they should set more boundaries...that memory will always be there. Hmmm Or maybe by then, for her sake, it can be removed?

Why assume that just because you want something for your birthday, therefore thats "all you want" ? I went skydiving on my 50th. Doesn't mean i want to go everyday - or even necessarily ever again. i did it. thats enough. What is wrong with wanting something impractical for a day ??

I was pondering this just this morning. My wife and I have a deep love, and, while we are both pushing 50, I see her as the most beautiful woman in the world. Living life together, you see more dimensions to the person than what you can see when you are single and 20. It's amazing!
That was SO radical. Whoa, man, what a blessing and a curse growing old!! That's why it's so important to really LIKE the person you're with and find his/her qualities and attributes that turn you on besides the looks!!
LOL that mans facial expression when he takes out the lenses and you see him standing there all old and grey! His wife still looks nice and spicy though!
Just goes to show, even in the future, when you can "remain" youthful long past your actual "youth", there will STILL be problems in relationships if you are not comfortable in your OWN skin!
I have definitely imagined this exact technology before. I always thought it would be incredibly positive, because looks would no longer matter in relationships, we would only seek a person whose presence and character were right for us. That's actually a more interesting possibility in my opinion.
I dont understand simple or shallow people... the more i love someone, the more i find them attractive. More so then when I first met them. I love the way my partner looks, even his flaws. He's not perfect or some unrealistic model. He's put on some weight too. I love and find him extremely attractive and am more drawn to him than any other man... Honestly, I hate simple people, they are a recipe for heart break. I cannot wrap my head around them, always falling out of love for no reason and expecting their partners to never age. I still find other people attractive outside my partner but no body is as special to me as he is. No one makes me flutter in the same way.
I didn't really like this video, but I did see why I should've liked it. Lol. People don't like reality because it's not always beautiful. We want to see the world, others, and ourselves how we want to be seen. We don't want to face aging because we aren't beautiful anymore. We don't want others to see us as less than perfect. We all want to feel and experience the passion, love and life to make us feel ALIVE...again. When we get old we slowly lose our dignity because we lose our self identity. We're no longer desirable and attractive. We have to accept less from life because we don't have a choice. We are old. We are dying. And there is NOTHING we can do about it. I didn't like this video because I don't want to be reminded of what I've lost by getting old. It really sucks.
The point is to learn to see the beauty of the things that really matter. If they had a loving relationship, looking a little older wouldn't have been a problem. If you feel like you're losing your self identity just because your body is getting old, you never really found yourself in the first place. Sure, I've had times when I was missing the way things were, and felt like I just wasn't feeling "myself" at that moment, but when I focus on the good things in my life & what is important, that disconnection dissipates and I find myself again. It doesn't matter who you are, how old or young you are, or finances, etc. Life is never going to be the ideal that you have in your dreams. You have to learn to accept reality and learn to be grateful for what you have. When you stop counting the things you don't have, and start counting all the things you do have-is when you find happiness. "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." -John Keats When you learn to love truth, you see that it is beautiful-even if it has nothing to do with your eyes. True beauty is felt, rather than seen.
I think that the man is either 65 or 66. Wouldn't you want to be 30 again. Is that a bad thing to want? More importantly, wanting what you do not have is how you get it. Many poor people have become rich and many fat people have become thin. We really can make our lives better. For millennia, humans wanted to fly and now we can fly in air planes, hang gliders, drones, in video games, and in virtual reality. When this couple wear their lenses, they relive when they were younger. In the woman's case, she changes her hair and eye color. The simulation is convincing and is that bad?
@@wordsofcheresie936 Wouldn't it be more character building, to accept, who you really are. Otherwise you are always rejecting your true self, living in discontent, fear and self-loathing.
@@carlosidelone8064 Up until about 200 years ago, most people died around age 40, but modern medicine has changed that. Accepting your true self is accepting that you will die 40 years before everyone else.
@@wordsofcheresie936 You seem to be leaving out the element of deception, that this film exposes. If you can prolong your life medically, you are still yourself and will have actual consequences to deal with regarding your medical health. This film purports creating an illusion of who you are, which is akin to wearing a mask. I don't know that wearing a mask to deceive others will improve your sense of self-worth in the long run.
@SaltyBrains I think life is about getting to know, who you really are rather than trying to live up to some societal standard, imposed from without' Accepting that will bring you peace and inner strength.
And one might wonder if seeing ourself with complete unvarnished reality could be dangerous...or even decimating. Psychological defenses might be necessary for self-preservation.
Back a few hundred years ago when the average person died young everyone wanted to be old with white wigs and such and now when we live twice as long all we want to be is young.
What we saw in this video is known as augmented reality and it is currently in development. A number of companies have prototypes. Google glass was going in that direction.
This was my understanding, the man had always pictured/wanted a blue eyes blonde hair woman he didn't actually cheat on the wife, that's why both times he made a comment about the eyes it triggered her/made her upset because she didn't actually have that You can tell it's still the same woman when she answers the crossword while they are on the couch
right, but what is the part about the 5 years ago then? I feel like he did possibly cheat and that is what she looked like, and she's offended because he's still thinking about the other woman instead of her.
I liked how in the end it seemed like he had finally just allowed himself to fantasize about the other women, and whatever your judgement about it, the wife was somewhat at peace with that, but it turns out he had finally just become comfortable with fantasizing about her.
Her irises had just two settings: normal, and young husband. His irises had three settings: normal, blond/blue-eyed girl, and young wife. You could see the irises changing mode in the close-ups. Simple. But the wife guessed the blond/blue-eyed setting due to his unthinking comment about eye color and felt rejected because she knew of his preference. So obvious.
I've just watched this for the second time. My first time watching it, I had no idea what what happening, (until reading the comments)! Great short film with an original plot! I was definitely confused when the man said his wife's dress went with her eyes & she got offended. I'm colour blind & I can't see what colour anyone's eyes are! 👀😆
Back before the "youth culture" of the Sixties, people just took aging in stride. You were born, you grew up, you shouldered the responsibilities of an adult including raising a family, then you got old and died. Now everyone wants to look and act 19 and can't accept the responsibilities of adulthood not to mention acceptance of the aging of our bodies. As soon as this contact lens augmented reality thing is commonplace, probably everyone will project a young, idealized version of themselves. Only people "going bare" will see them for what they really are. All their AR-connected friends will see Ken and Barbie.
I feel like, today, society and the media don't really help either. I task you to comb the interwebs and films, and how many times do you see "Youthfulness" always portrayed?. You don't get films where its okay to grow old. . . philosophies of responsibilities and how wisdom comes with age. . , etc. The sad thing is that, the society in which we are born in becomes dangerous for everyone.
@@ChickensAndGardening retirement age is 30 for some of these women because they were hired because of their looks instead of their talent. This isn't a 21st century problem, this has happened for thousands of years, pretty people are treated differently because they are pleasing on the eye.
I think having technology like that could have it’s advantage. Not for role play but for making us remember ourselves when we were young as opposed to having to constantly be reminded of it every time we look in the mirror. We cannot stop the eventual progression of old age and death, but at least we can wear these eye glasses and be in our mind’s eye the person we remember we once were, the person that we never wanted to stop being.
Excellent! I'll be 70 this year. I'm bald on top and the rest is grey. The face sags. But life is good. Mother taught me years ago that life is a journey to be enjoyed at every stage, not spent lamenting the past and fearing the future, then other folks added- While pissing all over today!
Yeah, I kind of had a feeling - that the contact lenses allow the spouse to see what he/she wants to see, not reality. Particularly when their daughter calls and speaks in an adult voice.
I'm been binge-watching Omelettos for 2 wks. This is the most original so far! @ the end, I replayed it, & enjoyed watching again, knowing what I now know.
There is a beautiful thing that occurs naturally whereby no matter how old the love of your life gets, you still see them as how they looked when you first fell in love. No technology necessary.
And they see you that way too. I think as a result, life-long love can keep us feeling young and the loss of it can feel like a profound loss of one's younger self.
Should of watched this one sooner! The filming was fantastic and I love the idea of it. Aging is so tough and even tougher for others. I think this concept could be very therapeutic but as with all technology is could also have a negative effect. Brilliant idea though all around.
"It's a still life watercolor, of a now late afternoon, the sun shines through the curtain lace, and shadows wash the room." The dangling conversation by Paul Simon is complemented by this film.
Loving the body language gestures at the end with the slow and deliberate stand and those fiddling fingers - so deeply characteristic of the older generation. If you didn't know what was going on before, that certainly gave it away. It's certainly going to be quite interesting how the current generation handles all their insecurities in the midst of invasive technology!
Brilliant. I'm binging short films. Some are good student work.Others are big budget astonishing productions. Many are great, yet genius art trumps all. Thanks.
The one thing about life is that you're always having to adjust to the newest version of yourself. If you don't you get lost in the yesterdays and yesteryears of life.
you can let your spouse know you are disappointed in them without them needing to defend the choices they made. but my guess is you aren't married yet.
@@dirtdiv3r there's a difference between letting someone know you're disappointed and doggedly attacking them. Also how fascinating that you can guess so much about me without ever meeting me just based off of my two sentence comment.
Similar but not the same, My uncle had a stroke in June. The family decided to relocate him from L.A. to Detroit as he has no family in CA. Since he has been living with me, I have hated the experience most of the time. The man is many things and most (not all) are negative. Like this video and the comments below, I find that liking and loving a person makes them more attractive to the average person. In my experience with uncle, I find that me not liking him makes me not want to do for him. But the deep rooted love of family pushes me through. It's weird because I protect him fiercely from harm but everyday I dread doing anything for him beyond basic need. However, as strange as it is to me, I still do nice things that I know he will enjoy. Though I do not share in his delight because i do not like him enough. So I love him enough to want him to have happiness, but i don't like him enough to share that experience? This is the strangest thing I think I have ever gone through. In any event, as much as we are fire and ice, I may miss him as much as I will be relived he is gone when he finally is layed to rest. He turns 70 soon so hopefully, he'll have more years.
I have been living with both of my parents for 20 years now. I have had to tolerate their negative attitudes towards each other since they divorced 15 years ago. They both are declining in health, so I do what I can to help them, but I find myself wishing that they would both just die and be done with it. I feel guilty about thinking like that, and it makes me sad that the final years of their lives are probably not going to be happy ones for them. But it also makes me glad that I didn’t just blindly follow in their footsteps and lock myself into a toxic relationship. I will be 60 next month, and I probably wouldn’t have made it past 40 if I had tried to do things the way they did.
A great film that shows the not too distant future of adult leisure activity. The story was a mirror to long relationships and real life. Ageing has become 'unnatural' and something to be feared. Realism and fun seem to be hard to find in the future. The film was a bit predicable in assuming it would be the man that was longing for something different and new
Life is a series of letting go. It’s a scientific face that everything falls apart. The cure to the sadness of letting go is the embracement of the present.
Only the beautiful people would be troubled by technology which levels the playing field, people who won the genetic lottery and have skated through life on easy mode because of their good looks. Only a person's personality would matter when you can make everyone look like a 10/10, and the beautiful people are always the ugliest ones inside.
Why does it seem that every guy fantasizes about young blonde hair blue eyed woman? As a young Indigenous woman with long dark hair and brown eyes, tan skin who’s tall and slender; I’m terrified of dating. Please tell me there are men who would truly love me for me, and actually be in love with my looks and not secretly wish I was fair skinned and completely different ?
Fantasy. The whole marriage he's been with a brown-eyed brunette. So he fantasizes about a blonde with blue-eyes.. not really about beauty as much as it about a change in "scenery".
We got married at 18 and after 54 years we're 72. l still think she's hot and yes there is life after 65. I think of her like a classic Harley - takes some work to get her started but once she fires up you better hang on because you are in for one hell of a ride. 😎

Shows how cheating really affects a marriage. How the woman feels not beautiful enough overall. This also makes aging depressing.

For millennia, humans wanted to fly and now we can fly in air planes, hang gliders, drones, in video games, and in virtual reality.
When this couple wear their lenses, they relive when they were younger. In the woman's case, she changes her hair and eye color. The simulation is convincing and is that bad?
@@wordsofcheresie936 Wouldn't it be more character building, to accept, who you really are. Otherwise you are always rejecting your true self, living in discontent, fear and self-loathing.
@@carlosidelone8064 Up until about 200 years ago, most people died around age 40, but modern medicine has changed that. Accepting your true self is accepting that you will die 40 years before everyone else.
@@wordsofcheresie936 You seem to be leaving out the element of deception, that this film exposes. If you can prolong your life medically, you are still yourself and will have actual consequences to deal with regarding your medical health. This film purports creating an illusion of who you are, which is akin to wearing a mask. I don't know that wearing a mask to deceive others will improve your sense of self-worth in the long run.
Shows that problems within couples is not about appearance. It's more than meets the eye!
Their back and forth literally became exhausting. I kept wanting to move ahead in the video.
This is not so far away from reality, people seldom see themselves for what they are,
SaltyBrains Not particularly good or bad, just an observation...
@SaltyBrains I think life is about getting to know, who you really are rather than trying to live up to some societal standard, imposed from without' Accepting that will bring you peace and inner strength.
And one might wonder if seeing ourself with complete unvarnished reality could be dangerous...or even decimating. Psychological defenses might be necessary for self-preservation.
Our daily routine of 40+ years of marriage is way more interesting.... Thanks to God.
This is nothing new...I have the same contacts. I'm 65 and yet I still see myself as 35.
Getting old ain't for sissies.
❤️
Ma maaaaan.😂😂
It's hard to get old and horrible to see what's left of the person I used to be
Dude ,that song with the blue mood light, sounds something I'd hear at a club high on mdma
I would love to be at that club preferably with u and mdma, do they have upstairs party facilities?
Dude looks like a cross between Oscar Isaac and Joaquin Phoenix!
And Seth Rollins
Back a few hundred years ago when the average person died young everyone wanted to be old with white wigs and such and now when we live twice as long all we want to be is young.
Ponce De Leon 1519 - people haven't wanted to get old for awhile
Only a matter time before Apple comes out with something like this. lol
At that time, Samsung would have invented the technology a decade earlier. LOL. I'm an Apple user btw.
What we saw in this video is known as augmented reality and it is currently in development. A number of companies have prototypes. Google glass was going in that direction.
Orlando I agree ☝️ lol 😝
eyes sealed separately
Anheuser Busch already did years ago. It's called 'beer'.
This was my understanding, the man had always pictured/wanted a blue eyes blonde hair woman he didn't actually cheat on the wife, that's why both times he made a comment about the eyes it triggered her/made her upset because she didn't actually have that
You can tell it's still the same woman when she answers the crossword while they are on the couch
right, but what is the part about the 5 years ago then? I feel like he did possibly cheat and that is what she looked like, and she's offended because he's still thinking about the other woman instead of her.
They still look good to be honest. All in the eyes of the beholder.
I liked how in the end it seemed like he had finally just allowed himself to fantasize about the other women, and whatever your judgement about it, the wife was somewhat at peace with that, but it turns out he had finally just become comfortable with fantasizing about her.
It's a superficial world we live in, that's the rough truth.
People’s voices change as they age. No matter what they looked like, they would still sound old.
Oh YEAH...that would really be interesting! Make them have "old people voices"!😅
They weren't that old yet.
The premises science-fiction, and with that premise anything can be changed including your vocal cords.
Some people
‘Let me guess, you are an architect?’ ‘Yes I am and I have designs on you.’
Her irises had just two settings: normal, and young husband. His irises had three settings: normal, blond/blue-eyed girl, and young wife. You could see the irises changing mode in the close-ups. Simple. But the wife guessed the blond/blue-eyed setting due to his unthinking comment about eye color and felt rejected because she knew of his preference. So obvious.
if you believe that you believe anything.
I've just watched this for the second time. My first time watching it, I had no idea what what happening, (until reading the comments)! Great short film with an original plot!
I was definitely confused when the man said his wife's dress went with her eyes & she got offended. I'm colour blind & I can't see what colour anyone's eyes are! 👀😆
I have to admit I can't ignore her beauty.
Back before the "youth culture" of the Sixties, people just took aging in stride. You were born, you grew up, you shouldered the responsibilities of an adult including raising a family, then you got old and died. Now everyone wants to look and act 19 and can't accept the responsibilities of adulthood not to mention acceptance of the aging of our bodies. As soon as this contact lens augmented reality thing is commonplace, probably everyone will project a young, idealized version of themselves. Only people "going bare" will see them for what they really are. All their AR-connected friends will see Ken and Barbie.
I feel like, today, society and the media don't really help either. I task you to comb the interwebs and films, and how many times do you see "Youthfulness" always portrayed?. You don't get films where its okay to grow old. . . philosophies of responsibilities and how wisdom comes with age. . , etc. The sad thing is that, the society in which we are born in becomes dangerous for everyone.
@@ImKevin Older actors tend not to get hired, also. For women, 30 is retirement age.
@@ChickensAndGardening retirement age is 30 for some of these women because they were hired because of their looks instead of their talent. This isn't a 21st century problem, this has happened for thousands of years, pretty people are treated differently because they are pleasing on the eye.
I think having technology like that could have it’s advantage. Not for role play but for making us remember ourselves when we were young as opposed to having to constantly be reminded of it every time we look in the mirror. We cannot stop the eventual progression of old age and death, but at least we can wear these eye glasses and be in our mind’s eye the person we remember we once were, the person that we never wanted to stop being.
But I much prefer the me of today over the me of ten or 20 or 30 years ago.
Excellent! I'll be 70 this year. I'm bald on top and the rest is grey. The face sags. But life is good. Mother taught me years ago that life is a journey to be enjoyed at every stage, not spent lamenting the past and fearing the future, then other folks added- While pissing all over today!
Saw the twist coming but still really enjoyed this short film
Yeah, I kind of had a feeling - that the contact lenses allow the spouse to see what he/she wants to see, not reality. Particularly when their daughter calls and speaks in an adult voice.
It wasn't a twist, they showed the lenses right away and referred to them constantly.
I saw the twist after the adult daughter called...
Why didnt the dad say he loved the daughter on the phone... Just... Thankyou... Like he didn't love her at all
I really had no idea what the heck was going on! Loved!!
I'm been binge-watching Omelettos for 2 wks. This is the most original so far! @ the end, I replayed it, & enjoyed watching again, knowing what I now know.
Brilliant and beautifully shot and acted❤
I'd definitely watch this one story as a series 💞
Second time here for watching this. So IMO it's good. Good cast. Nice screenplay too.
There is a beautiful thing that occurs naturally whereby no matter how old the love of your life gets, you still see them as how they looked when you first fell in love. No technology necessary.
And they see you that way too. I think as a result, life-long love can keep us feeling young and the loss of it can feel like a profound loss of one's younger self.
Should of watched this one sooner! The filming was fantastic and I love the idea of it. Aging is so tough and even tougher for others. I think this concept could be very therapeutic but as with all technology is could also have a negative effect. Brilliant idea though all around.
"It's a still life watercolor, of a now late afternoon, the sun shines through the curtain lace, and shadows wash the room." The dangling conversation by Paul Simon is complemented by this film.
Fantastic. 1st time I watched an Omeleto short twice. That could be a movie for sure.
The idea of a reality distorting vision is breathtakingly new and innovative! Enjoyed very much
not really. we even have it for real now. so idea is pretty old.
Loving the body language gestures at the end with the slow and deliberate stand and those fiddling fingers - so deeply characteristic of the older generation. If you didn't know what was going on before, that certainly gave it away. It's certainly going to be quite interesting how the current generation handles all their insecurities in the midst of invasive technology!
This is the man that got his head cut off in another omeleto
The hitchhike one?
Which one lol
Yep lol
@frumT18 yeah that guy was jordan turchin, this guy is different
lmfao
Brilliant. I'm binging short films. Some are good student work.Others are big budget astonishing productions. Many are great, yet genius art trumps all. Thanks.
The blonde girl was beautiful
The one thing about life is that you're always having to adjust to the newest version of yourself. If you don't you get lost in the yesterdays and yesteryears of life.
"I'm not asking you to defend yourself."
Yeah, you're just attacking him, and he's supposed to what, not defend himself?
you can let your spouse know you are disappointed in them without them needing to defend the choices they made. but my guess is you aren't married yet.
@@dirtdiv3r there's a difference between letting someone know you're disappointed and doggedly attacking them. Also how fascinating that you can guess so much about me without ever meeting me just based off of my two sentence comment.
@@heirofcarnage1782 It's a gift and a curse. But mostly a gift. Glad I could fascinate you so easily.
Obviously the Heir of Carnage was married at 14 to secure an alliance between Carnage and France
Similar but not the same, My uncle had a stroke in June. The family decided to relocate him from L.A. to Detroit as he has no family in CA. Since he has been living with me, I have hated the experience most of the time. The man is many things and most (not all) are negative. Like this video and the comments below, I find that liking and loving a person makes them more attractive to the average person. In my experience with uncle, I find that me not liking him makes me not want to do for him. But the deep rooted love of family pushes me through. It's weird because I protect him fiercely from harm but everyday I dread doing anything for him beyond basic need. However, as strange as it is to me, I still do nice things that I know he will enjoy. Though I do not share in his delight because i do not like him enough. So I love him enough to want him to have happiness, but i don't like him enough to share that experience? This is the strangest thing I think I have ever gone through. In any event, as much as we are fire and ice, I may miss him as much as I will be relived he is gone when he finally is layed to rest. He turns 70 soon so hopefully, he'll have more years.
I have been living with both of my parents for 20 years now. I have had to tolerate their negative attitudes towards each other since they divorced 15 years ago. They both are declining in health, so I do what I can to help them, but I find myself wishing that they would both just die and be done with it. I feel guilty about thinking like that, and it makes me sad that the final years of their lives are probably not going to be happy ones for them. But it also makes me glad that I didn’t just blindly follow in their footsteps and lock myself into a toxic relationship. I will be 60 next month, and I probably wouldn’t have made it past 40 if I had tried to do things the way they did.
Wow, the ending was shocking, lol. I was not expecting that.
A great film that shows the not too distant future of adult leisure activity.
The story was a mirror to long relationships and real life. Ageing has become 'unnatural' and something to be feared. Realism and fun seem to be hard to find in the future. The film was a bit predicable in assuming it would be the man that was longing for something different and new
Can I order those lenses on Amazon?
Same fam
Try E-Bay
Yes 50% off rn, holiday special, mine arrive tomorrow! 😊
Virt Real lol 😆
They are available in Google Play. You need a Smart Phone, graphics card, 3D glasses and fiber optic WiFi
Charm is deceitful and Beauty is fleeting...True love and beauty begins and ends with the inner being.
This made my heart so sad.
I think that was the point. Technology gave them what they materially wanted, but there was a price to pay.
@@perfectsplit5515 The same thing occurs with or without technology. Our eyes see what we want to see almost all the time.
Thought it was a black mirror ep
I ended up watching this just because the guy was an Architect.
yeah, he had to ba a plumber.
That mirror scene at the end, all I could think of was the beginning of Fallout 4
Well this is down right weird but then again it makes sense.
For a moment i thought we'll see their blond daughter's face during that phone call LOL
Great ...these short films reminds me of the twilight zone
Life is a series of letting go. It’s a scientific face that everything falls apart. The cure to the sadness of letting go is the embracement of the present.
If every couple role played while they are younger the world would be a happier place with less divorces.
Only the beautiful people would be troubled by technology which levels the playing field, people who won the genetic lottery and have skated through life on easy mode because of their good looks. Only a person's personality would matter when you can make everyone look like a 10/10, and the beautiful people are always the ugliest ones inside.
They're not alone.
"I think you're taking what the counseller said way too literally".
Always an excellent point to make in an argument with your spouse.
Truth is, when you've been young so long, you start seeing the beauty of age!
Why does it seem that every guy fantasizes about young blonde hair blue eyed woman?
As a young Indigenous woman with long dark hair and brown eyes, tan skin who’s tall and slender; I’m terrified of dating.
Please tell me there are men who would truly love me for me, and actually be in love with my looks and not secretly wish I was fair skinned and completely different ?
There are a lot of men who prefer beautiful women with dark skin and dark hair. You are stunning in your profile pic.
You mean white men
Wow! That was excellent and very entertaining
I hope to have someone predictable one day , sounds comforting .
I like these movies with speed setting way down. I find it relaxing.
They are not going to get through this. Very few people get over infidelity.
Its not confirmed that he cheated, maybe this was just his ideal girl
Very black mirror-ish. Absolutely amazing
Predictable however a very excellent short, I liked it.
Ya I can see myself 50 years from now relaxing on the oldies like DJ Khalid
People say this is weird, but it is probably going to happen in the future. To bad we cannot get younger instead of older.
Incredible that way of using a piece of paper!
More advanced than Black Mirror!
I didn't see why he wanted to visualize her differently. I mean it's not like she'd given him a cause to gasp.
Fantasy. The whole marriage he's been with a brown-eyed brunette. So he fantasizes about a blonde with blue-eyes.. not really about beauty as much as it about a change in "scenery".
@@obdiane Or maybe she wasn't his first choice, or a blonde was the one who got away... who knows?
We got married at 18 and after 54 years we're 72. l still think she's hot and yes there is life after 65. I think of her like a classic Harley - takes some work to get her started but once she fires up you better hang on because you are in for one hell of a ride. 😎
He said 74 across synthetic flesh, when it was 74 down....just sayin'
yes, you are right.
This reminds me of a favourite dirty joke. (very bad joke!!! Warning)
