"What are some signs you're conventionally ugly?" I had never been hit on, flirted with, or cat-called until 2020 when masks were required basically everywhere. Apparently I have really pretty eyes that are "ruined" by the lower half of my face lol. But seriously, this is a very loaded question since people are inundated with beautiful faces online, many of which are highly deceptive due to makeup and editing (including men). I'm positive that I'm just very average looking and had zero confidence before. Once I got out of the school environment and felt safer to experiment with how I express myself, I started dressing nicer, spoke a lot more, and gained a lot more confidence in a short span of time. At the time, I had assumed the change in others' attitudes was because of the mask, but as the mandates were slowly lifted, the occasional flirting still happened. Be kind to yourself, and people will notice your genuine demeanor.
Wow, I could have written this comment! Everything about me is extremely ugly except that I have nice eyes (not according to me, but others). I love wearing a mask to cover up the lower half, it allows me to pretend i'm like a 4 instead of a 1. Do you have green eyes by chance? I have green eyes and I've wondered at times if it's not even something about my eyes themselves, and just that green ones are less common than brown or blue.
@@jijitters I actually have hazel eyes! Specifically, I have a center ring of golden brown, middle ring of bright green, and an outer ring of dark green/blue. They’re pretty unique, and I like them! But I wouldn’t write yourself off so easily. I don’t need to look at you to know that you’re selling yourself short. And besides, being interesting and kind are far more important than any beauty standard, since you have to live with those the rest of your life, unlike beauty which fades. So instead of being pretty, be interesting. Learn knew skills, go out and experience things, find new hobbies, and try to think in ways other people don’t attempt to. People will pick up on it when they talk to you want to know more.
@@jijitters Hey, I know it's been 3 months and you probably won't see this but I'll be real with you. If your pfp is your face, you are FAR from a 1, and I mean it. You look like the kind of person I'd talk to just to be funny around because I'd be compelled to see your smile when you laugh. Body dysmorphia is a nightmare, especially in a world where the standards of attractiveness are constantly rising higher and higher due to the rise of photo editing, plastic surgery, unhealthy/extreme weight loss and professional makeup/lighting being the standard for much of what we see online. We're fundamentally social animals with the genetically ingrained desire to compare ourselves to every single other person we see. Human beings were never designed to live in a world where we're socially competing with literally billions of people to be at the top of the top of the top of the top of the ever narrowing pyramid of perfection. Your life is hard and your self perception is negative and considering your context that's totally normal, just know that the world you're being sold where you're never enough is a world sold by no more than corporations and idiots. While a lot of people subscribe to that world, there are (even if they're admittedly hard to find) kind people out there who aren't trashbags who won't expect you to achieve the impossible. That's all, you deserve better, even if the world hasn't given you it.
we named our late pet turtle after him as kids with my siblings🙏 !!Spoilers!! (Also, some sick freaking disability representation, props to the devs for that!)
I got on the elevator at work & there was an attractive woman inside who asked me “which floor?” to which I instinctively said, “4” & with almost no hesitation & the conviction of a Baptist preacher, she replied, “yeah, you look like you’re about a 4” & I just kind of stood there wide eyed, desperately hoping she was only going to the 2nd floor. I am happily married so I’m not looking to impress anybody but I have to admit it was pretty devastation to my self-esteem. I expected that behavior in high school but I’m in my 40’s now, so to hear someone be so blunt was jarring.
I honestly HATE that "grading scale" garbage. So if someone does that to me I reply back "And it seems your personality is a 2, significantly dropping your score"
People absolutely treat you better if you're attractive. I was chubby as a kid, then got cancer when I was a teenager which made me skinny af and I really noticed that people just wanted to be around me more. Side note to maybe help cheer up this topic: I read a study once that concluded that the biggest factors in overall attractiveness wasn't genetic, but stuff like a good haircut, physique and a positive attitude, basically the stuff you can control help your attractiveness more than stuff out of your control.
@K.C-2049 Unlikable guys will swear their entire lives that women are lying when they say funny guys are attractive but every actually-funny-and-not-a-jerk guy knows how much it helps them.
7:20 My dad always said that the perfect movie for this criteria is WALL-E. There's not much dialogue to begin with, and it's visually stunning. After he pointed this out I would sometimes watch it with the TV muted for fun and give my own ridiculous narration.
Ooof the last question. Being an ugly WOMAN in particular adds a weird element. So many women talk about men and dating and going out like they are always in danger, they talk about the ways they're hit on, or how they feel about cat-calling. These things are always talked about as the Female Experience or whatever. But not only do men see me as a blob instead of a woman, I can't relate to women at all when they talk about their experience as a woman because of this. I've never felt unsafe walking down the street because no one would ever want to look at or touch me. Never been hit on, never been flirted with, never been cat-called, never been someone's crush. It's alienating as hell not only from people in general, but from my gender.
It's important to keep in mind predators rarely care what you look like (or as may be the case, what you think you look like). In fact, there is evidence they prey on people with self-confidence issues. be safe out there
I feel that girl... I've only been hit on by old creepy men that probably can't even see me or are just desperate because a teenage girl is in the vicinity. All my friends are crushing and having others crush on them and getting boyfriends and there's me like, I've never even shared a sort of romantic moment with anyone😭
Oh are you me? It's really strangely upsetting how many women talk about how all women experience these things and I'm like... Well one that's depressing but also two, no we don't. It feels like being denied access to womanhood in a way. And then we get called lucky to now have those experiences but you know what else doesn't happen to me? The other nice things that happen to attractive people. It's very clear I'm on my own in life you know?
When I was thin I remember thinking that the world was scary, and as a larger woman now I feel pretty safe. It's bizarre! Although I don't think I was ever very attractive, at least I had the body of an attractive woman. Without that it takes a lot more patience, care and love to move through this world that both glorifies and demonizes the experiences of only conventionally attractive women.
Omg this. I've NEVER been cat called or hit on or any of those things that woman claim make them feel unsafe. It's to the point to where I would actually feel flattered if I was even if I know its not a good thing. I've gained a lot of weight in the past few years but even when I was actually a pretty healthy size I was still never noticed. I've straight up walked down a New York street at night and didn't feel unsafe in the slightest. Everyone would call me lucky but I feel like less of a woman.
3:54 "Your mother was a broken down tub of junk with more gentleman callers than the operator" I was going to explain how that turtle's words affected me, but I have no words. That is the most vile insult I've ever recieved from a turtle.
obligatory Avatar fan comment: they don’t have sex with their hair. The hair thing (called tsaheylu) is a neural link, like connecting two brains through a biological USB. it _can_ be used in a sexual context but isn’t _inherently_ so. They reproduce the same way humans do (as far as we know).
I was reminded of a John Green TikTok where he reminiscened how in the most lucrative movie in the world, where they had a nearly infinite budget ... where they sent the characters to a planet far away to mine a really hard to obtain mineral they need... and named it "unoptanium" ... and the disbelief in John Green's face is still stuck in my head XD
I’m so glad taxes are all automatically filed, updated, and returned in my country. I literally have to do nothing every year unless my income changes and that’s just a ten-minute form online. Having to actually do them on an annual basis sounds like a nightmare.
It was so funny to me when he talked about meter maids being an invented job that finances themselves only to then talk about private tax accountants, the job that ACTUALLY does that lol. My country is the same. I get the form digitally, look it over and sign it unless I want to add something. Takes 30 seconds and doesn't require a fucking paid professional!
I am so glad that woman used the word rebarbative. I like to think I have a rather expansive vocab bank in my brain, but that's a new one for me and I LOVE that word now. It's so good.
Attraction bias is a thing, it’s just like racism. As humans we naturally find comfort with those we find easier to look at, so we unconsciously create biases towards those we think look better, and it’s especially easy if the majority of people you spend time with, whether their personalities are good or bad, are conventionally attractive. That’s the main reason why twist villains were such a cool phenomena back when they weren’t everywhere, because it was easier to be more comfortable around someone who looks nice only for them to reveal they’re evil and break the convention.
Its a thing yes but what I personally hate is when people dont try to actively fight and go against that bias, and excuse it as just natural. I see so many people defend themselves when it comes to treating attractive people better and its just sad.
@@botanicalitus4194 its internally wired in our brains to treat people certain ways i'm afraid - we can still try our best to treat people equally and we absolutely should, but its something in the back of our head that can't be shushed
This can also slide into other biases as well. For example, if you knew someone who was considered attractive but you really didn't like, you'll gain a bias against attractive people. The human brain likes to find patterns, so if it sees similarities between people, we might assume they also share other traits. Personally, I has a bias against middle aged women, because I have known so many (like my mother and teachers) who treated me bad. That type of bias comes from the instinctive parts of our brains to protect us. Obviously, it's not an excuse, and biases can be overcome. I knew a lot of girls, especially lesbians, who were really bitchy, and I used to have a biases against them. But now I have friends you are lesbians, and am even dating a girl myself! (I'm bigender, so I identify as a girl and a boy) Biases suck, and can really affect our ability to make good friends. Notice when you have a bias against someone, and try to put that aside. Focus on what you know for sure about them and their personality.
not a vent or anything !! just tryin to add to the conversation with my own experience - TW for ED and stuff i can absolutely confirm this, as a person who's struggled with weight a lot. people treated me like an inconvenience or worse when i was plus size, but when i ended up with an eating disorder (dw im recovering now lol) everyone suddenly started being nice instead of bullying me because i was what they thought was acceptable. something i've noticed in all of this is that people really do seem to see anyone they don't deem attractive as less than human, and the difference in how they treat someone they think is ugly compared to how they treat someone they don't is staggering.
on the topic of exercise, my pappy is 91, almost 92 and he is still very sharp and healthy. he swims 2 miles every morning. it is also socialization for him, hes got a whole community that he has gained from it which is important for longevity! when my granny died and he didn't show up to the pool for 3 days, a lady he swims with came to check on him. its really nice to know he has more than family to check up on him.
My grandparents also had a pet raccoon, his name was Rocky. He was cool and apparently really sweet to us kids, then one day we went to their house and he was gone. Found out later he’d started acting strange then foaming at the mouth, poor thing went rabid somehow I guess from one of the walks they took him on and he had to be put down 😢 he was an awesome lil dude tho
I'm sorry About Rocky. Seemed like a pretty cool dude. 🦝 I had three baby raccoons growing up. Skinny, Stretch, & Fatso (sorry for the fatphobic names; they were ghosts in the movie Casper). We took them in when a tree fell down & killed their mom. 😢 They were bottle fed, weaned, & gradually given more independence until we never saw them again. 🥲 One of my favorite memories is digging a hole with one of them in my sandbox while one sibling was crawling up my back & another was chasing a butterfly. 🦋🦝🦝🦝
12:00 I remember when my depression really picked up it made a DRASTIC difference. I was walking every day, I was going a mile in 12-15 minutes. Then I realized it went up to 16. Then 22. Then 25. And no matter how much I focused on walking faster I kept getting a longer time. It was freaking me out, it kept going up to the point where it would take me 45 minutes to walk a mile, the exact same route I'd been taking for months.
I've had the same group of people fetishize and be very weird and obsessive over me, obsess in an opposite vitriolic way when I gained weight due to health issues. Some people are really really gross and would prefer you miserable with an ED if it meant they could project their feelings on you.
My brother was a highschool theater teacher and would show the students the movie, Triplets of Belleville, as well as clips from Wall-E to show how much can be communicated without dialogue.
@@NoiseDay haha yeah definitely an interesting one! But it really does communicate so much without much dialogue. It's become a favorite of mine that I enjoy introducing people to
17:31 Not true. I "dated" a guy once, first and only person I was ever in a relationship with, ended up not liking aspects of his personality after getting to know him better, noticed he was getting way more attached to me in this relationship than I was to him, and recognized that I wasn't mentally healthy enough to even be in any kind of relationship like that at the time anyway, so I cut it off very quickly. That was over a decade ago when I was in my late teens to early 20s. Never "dated" since, never been on a proper *date* in my life, never even kissed anyone, haven't found anyone irl that I'm attracted to since. Pretty sure I'm somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum.
I know this will definitely get lost in the comments and is kinda just a momentary thing, but Thanks for being my current comfort channel as I pack my stuff to move out tomorrow for college, it’s a rough transition period and it means so much that I at least have content like this to have a slight distraction from the hard stuff and make it easier to move to the next big thing. Keep doing what you’re doing, even the stuff that you may not consider your best work is still helping at least a few people out there.
18:56 Anecdotal evidence here, but babies, toddlers and children have ALWAYS gravitated towards me. Wherever I am, they stare at me, smile at me, and come and interact with me. They're fixated on me and sometimes even want hugs from me or for me to pick them up 😊❤ It always melts my heart!
Bitching was a word used a lot in the 80s and 90s according to my dad. If you go through his yearbook signatures, people wrote "have a bitchin' summer." He grew up in Utah.
I think with the attractiveness thing, there's also a factor of self-fulfilling prophecy at work, at least to some degree. If people FEEL ugly and are super aware of that all the time, they're not going to be as confident. They're not going to be as empathetic and charitable, because that's a hard space to stay in when you're feeling judged and caught up in yourself. And then it just highlights whatever you've got going on physically and becomes a vicious cycle. There are plenty of people out there that are in no way conventionally attractive, but they're just so confident and magnetic and not thinking about it, that it doesn't really matter. People are just drawn to them. Look at Brennan Lee Mulligan. He's never going to get scouted to be a model, but he's got people drooling over him all over the internet. Because when you look at him, you see HIM and how wonderful he is over everything else, and that makes him beautiful. Is pretty privilege a thing? Yes of course, but not to the insurmountable degree people often assume, and it comes with its own host of crippling insecurities and disconnection from others. It's all about attitude and perspective. Are we being kind to others because we want to see them smile? Or is it because we feel we have no choice because they won't accept us otherwise? People can pick up on which it is, subconsciously. And no one finds people pleasing attractive except users.
I would say “Drive” is a good example of a movie you can understand without audio. Granted I watched it with my friend while on mushrooms with it muted…
Just wanna pop in and say that out of all the Reddit videos you do, I really enjoy these lighthearted ones where we’re just enjoying each persons experiences in life rather than “Am I the asshole” reddits where we are trying to figure out if someone is right or wrong. Love you videos, keep it up! Nice shorts.
I'm demi-sexual (on the ace spectrum) and TBH, I think it was a benefit when it came to choosing a partner. My brain does not turn to soup when I see an aesthetically pleasing person. I don't experience *any* attaction to a person unless I already have an emotional connection with that person. My husband and I were friends for a couple of years before we started dating. If I hadn't already connected with his personality, I wouldn't have agreed to date him, even though he is objectively, a hottie.
I'm also demisexual and sapiosexual, which is a major plus because authentic organic connections can be formed long before most people consider physical attractiveness, which for me is extremely complex on its own and has a lot to do with the heart of an individual first. I truly value visual beauty as its own thing, kind of like art, but I do not attribute it to more subtle important characteristics typically.
Aaaah it makes me sad when ace people talk like this, like they're some advanced form of the species and non-asexuals are primitive. The average non-ace person's brain does not "turn to soup" when they see a beautiful person. We are just normal. The men who consistently go "eh I don't really like her but she's hot" are driven by misogyny, it's not because they're not asexual.
19:50 I was edited out of my class graduation photos(not completely edited out but they put me at the edge of the photo so half of my body was out of frame and added a blur effect around the picture)
Sir, your mating dance is phenomenal, all of us women have been hypnotized and fallen in love with you ,🤣🤣🖤🖤 Also, imma be singing "shorts, I'm wearing shorts" in my heads for the rest of the day
One of my big pleasures in life (in addition to garlic toast) is watching these reddit reviews. P.s. Life of Pi is a visually stunning movie. Kinda messed up, but stunning.
I remember for about a month anytime I tried to sing along to anything I would always be 5 times slower and I couldn't figure out why and my friends in choir were mean to me about it. Now after watching this video it all makes sense now because that was around the time I first got diagnosed with depression.
13:20 The biggest piece of information my therapist gave me was "Thoughts make feelings", meaning if you're thinking about something horrible/sad, you'll feel that way. Misdirection is the biggest key tool in those moments so you don't get stuck in depressive or panicked moods as much. It's a lot harder than it sounds, but once I started to notice I was getting down then naturally seeking out something like colouring or journalling or playing a game, I started to notice that I was having less depression and anxiety overall ^-^ Not being on phone as much was also a big help with those anxiety and depressive moods
Reading the last few answers firmly solidifies the statement "people are more rude to you" Some stuff listed was so heinous and nobody ever thought about sincerely apologizing
18:45 as an overweight person I feel more motivated to be healthier after hearing these people, not offended but just feeling that I want to feel better about myself both physically and mentally. And maybe a small step for mankind but a huge step for me- I did a warm up exercise today!! Literally 5 minutes warm up lol but a start is a start even though it’s a small step 🎉
This put in perspective how people say “you know you’re unattractive because people don’t look at you the same as they look at other people.” … a lot more than physical attraction goes into someone lighting up. As Daniel said, I get more closed off and scared around people I find very attractive, and I’m more confident with average people.

Sound in a movie is very important, especially in horror movies. It's true that back in the 20s-40s there wasn't sound in cinema, but movies have evolved so much since then to the point were having good dialogue and good music and good sounds in general is very important. There are movies which don't look great, but their dialogue and sound is incredible, which in my opinion can make up for whatever's wrong visually.
7:25 There's a black-and-white silent version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which keeps all the same footage but with no dialogue, and it's still very easy to follow the story.
im just done watching an Hour worth of Daniel Thrasher old videos for nostalgia sake, just for him to pop this video up right as im done. I might be going insane
As an ugly girl myself, I hate how u reacted to the comments. No empathy at all in half of them, being ugly is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, it fs u up mentally.
Daniel is a good person so I give him the benefit of the doubt, but yeah I felt the same here. No matter how he feels about himself, at the absolute worst someone might call Daniel "meh." It is totally different to be genuinely *UGLY* and people have no idea how horrible it is. It is NOT the same as just being "whatever" or "not hot." When people find something about your looks unpleasant, rather than just forgettable, it ruins your life.
with the "conventionally ugly" ask, specifically the "I got catcalled and then the guy went 'woops,'" that pretty much happened to me LOL some dude was checking me out from behind it sounded like and the moment I turned around he lost all interest I think he was trying to be polite at least LMAO thankfully, as I've seen in the comments, as you get into adulthood and once you get a groove of who you are as a person, it ends up not mattering anymore because the only person you wanna impress is yourself !!! been learning that over the years, and while I still have my negative thoughts lingering, I've been much more happier compared to before !!

i went through, and still kind of going through, a really bad hypochondriac cycle, and oh my gosh, i couldn't do anything. if someone was talking to me, even though i was laser focused on them talking, i couldn't retain any of it. i moved slowly and kinda just was in my own world all of the time. i'm still recovering from the cycle, and tbh the anxiety from it isn't fully gone, but i'm doing a lot better than i was. if you are a hypochondriac, cycles don't last forever. i heavily suggest telling someone whenever you start to get nervous or anxious about health. Writing anxious thoughts in a journal also works. Once you get those thoughts out of your head and into the world, it helps you see how you were extremely overthinking
15:27 Exercise is a good one... Keeping in touch with your friends is my answer, it's hard to make friends when you're older. In my experiences, people don't tend to want to expand their friend groups after highschool/college.
Avatar was not just a movie. It was a feat of innovation in animation. People who NEVER went to the movie theatre (my grandma among them) went to see it. It was a worldwide cultural event.
Watched Avatar 2 in theaters in German with no subtitles. I don't speak German. Still understood absolutely everything. The characters are so expressive both in their faces and body language, it's amazing.
Pretty privilege is a crazy thing. As someone whose weight has fluctuated due to an autoimmune disorder, I can tell you that people treat me better when I’m skinnier. People who are overweight are also less likely to get a job (if there is a qualified skinnier person), and they tend to be offered a lower starting salary. It sucks. Fatphobia is a really awful thing, and unfortunately, people justify it by saying that it will make fat people more motivated to lose weight.
Pretty privilege should only be a thing when picking a romantic partner. And then it's subjective and varies from person to person who is considered attractive to whom. In other areas, it's sad that it exists.
In response to the “mentally not okay” ones, for me currently my hygiene goes out the window and I get easily overwhelmed. When I was in middle school I slept way too much and I’d do nothing.
13:19 is so real, I had the exact same thing where I had a 4 day panic attack about the same thing. I couldn't leave my house because it was just too much 😭
I honestly liked this video more than your other ones. Not that I dislike the others, but I feel like this time you talked more about your points of view than on other videos :)
If you're not attractive, a lot of men won't hold the door for you - or if they do they resent it and eyeroll or huff 🙄 But there are a lot of people that are just nice to everyone 😊 or are polite automatically out of good habit - so there's that at least.
I've been trying to figure out why daniel above other youtubers and i swear to god it has to be the quick outro. You know, like AFTER all the top tier comedy. and his surprise mics.
I've been told by basically everyone all my life I'm ugly af and I agree I certainly ain't easy on the eyes. People are generally meaner and young people are especially cruel about it and generally act like they have special permission to abuse ya if you don't look conventionally attractive and people are far less likely to intervene. But I have learned a good few of them are projecting their own insecurities onto me so when I happily agree that I am in fact hella ugly they pretty quickly turn their tune into being like you aren't ugly and act like I just called them a slur or something lol. I have also been called many a slur, only a few of which I can personally reclaim lol. People love being mean but hate the repurcussions of being mean so will latch onto any they see as being easy targets. Pretty privilege is real but so is average privilege. I'm perfectly fine being ugly but I sure wish it didn't come with the everyone tries to abuse/harass you bit.
The surprise microphone is basically a character in the Daniel Thrasher universe at this point.
I was worried he would skip it this time!
@@Janiz1998 same.

"What are some signs you're conventionally ugly?"
I had never been hit on, flirted with, or cat-called until 2020 when masks were required basically everywhere. Apparently I have really pretty eyes that are "ruined" by the lower half of my face lol.
But seriously, this is a very loaded question since people are inundated with beautiful faces online, many of which are highly deceptive due to makeup and editing (including men).

But I wouldn’t write yourself off so easily. I don’t need to look at you to know that you’re selling yourself short. And besides, being interesting and kind are far more important than any beauty standard, since you have to live with those the rest of your life, unlike beauty which fades.
So instead of being pretty, be interesting. Learn knew skills, go out and experience things, find new hobbies, and try to think in ways other people don’t attempt to. People will pick up on it when they talk to you want to know more.
@@jijitters Hey, I know it's been 3 months and you probably won't see this but I'll be real with you. If your pfp is your face, you are FAR from a 1, and I mean it. You look like the kind of person I'd talk to just to be funny around because I'd be compelled to see your smile when you laugh. Body dysmorphia is a nightmare, especially in a world where the standards of attractiveness are constantly rising higher and higher due to the rise of photo editing, plastic surgery, unhealthy/extreme weight loss and professional makeup/lighting being the standard for much of what we see online. We're fundamentally social animals with the genetically ingrained desire to compare ourselves to every single other person we see. Human beings were never designed to live in a world where we're socially competing with literally billions of people to be at the top of the top of the top of the top of the ever narrowing pyramid of perfection. Your life is hard and your self perception is negative and considering your context that's totally normal, just know that the world you're being sold where you're never enough is a world sold by no more than corporations and idiots. While a lot of people subscribe to that world, there are (even if they're admittedly hard to find) kind people out there who aren't trashbags who won't expect you to achieve the impossible. That's all, you deserve better, even if the world hasn't given you it.

I got on the elevator at work & there was an attractive woman inside who asked me “which floor?” to which I instinctively said, “4” & with almost no hesitation & the conviction of a Baptist preacher, she replied, “yeah, you look like you’re about a 4” & I just kind of stood there wide eyed, desperately hoping she was only going to the 2nd floor.

Id just say, "and you're behaving like youre 4"
WTF IS HER PROBLEM 😭😭I’m so sorry. That woman is so toxic omg
People absolutely treat you better if you're attractive. I was chubby as a kid, then got cancer when I was a teenager which made me skinny af and I really noticed that people just wanted to be around me more.
Side note to maybe help cheer up this topic: I read a study once that concluded that the biggest factors in overall attractiveness wasn't genetic, but stuff like a good haircut, physique and a positive attitude, basically the stuff you can control help your attractiveness more than stuff out of your control.
@K.C-2049 Friendliness and approachability work wonders!
@K.C-2049 Unlikable guys will swear their entire lives that women are lying when they say funny guys are attractive but every actually-funny-and-not-a-jerk guy knows how much it helps them.

7:20 My dad always said that the perfect movie for this criteria is WALL-E. There's not much dialogue to begin with, and it's visually stunning. After he pointed this out I would sometimes watch it with the TV muted for fun and give my own ridiculous narration.
Ooof the last question. Being an ugly WOMAN in particular adds a weird element. So many women talk about men and dating and going out like they are always in danger, they talk about the ways they're hit on, or how they feel about cat-calling. These things are always talked about as the Female Experience or whatever. But not only do men see me as a blob instead of a woman, I can't relate to women at all when they talk about their experience as a woman because of this. I've never felt unsafe walking down the street because no one would ever want to look at or touch me. Never been hit on, never been flirted with, never been cat-called, never been someone's crush. It's alienating as hell not only from people in general, but from my gender.
It's important to keep in mind predators rarely care what you look like (or as may be the case, what you think you look like). In fact, there is evidence they prey on people with self-confidence issues. be safe out there
I feel that girl... I've only been hit on by old creepy men that probably can't even see me or are just desperate because a teenage girl is in the vicinity. All my friends are crushing and having others crush on them and getting boyfriends and there's me like, I've never even shared a sort of romantic moment with anyone😭
Oh are you me? It's really strangely upsetting how many women talk about how all women experience these things and I'm like... Well one that's depressing but also two, no we don't. It feels like being denied access to womanhood in a way. And then we get called lucky to now have those experiences but you know what else doesn't happen to me? The other nice things that happen to attractive people. It's very clear I'm on my own in life you know?
When I was thin I remember thinking that the world was scary, and as a larger woman now I feel pretty safe. It's bizarre! Although I don't think I was ever very attractive, at least I had the body of an attractive woman. Without that it takes a lot more patience, care and love to move through this world that both glorifies and demonizes the experiences of only conventionally attractive women.
Omg this. I've NEVER been cat called or hit on or any of those things that woman claim make them feel unsafe. It's to the point to where I would actually feel flattered if I was even if I know its not a good thing. I've gained a lot of weight in the past few years but even when I was actually a pretty healthy size I was still never noticed. I've straight up walked down a New York street at night and didn't feel unsafe in the slightest. Everyone would call me lucky but I feel like less of a woman.

obligatory Avatar fan comment: they don’t have sex with their hair. The hair thing (called tsaheylu) is a neural link, like connecting two brains through a biological USB. it _can_ be used in a sexual context but isn’t _inherently_ so. They reproduce the same way humans do (as far as we know).
this is my favorite comment
I was reminded of a John Green TikTok where he reminiscened how in the most lucrative movie in the world, where they had a nearly infinite budget ... where they sent the characters to a planet far away to mine a really hard to obtain mineral they need... and named it "unoptanium" ... and the disbelief in John Green's face is still stuck in my head XD
I’m so glad taxes are all automatically filed, updated, and returned in my country. I literally have to do nothing every year unless my income changes and that’s just a ten-minute form online.
Having to actually do them on an annual basis sounds like a nightmare.
oh it is, I cry at least once every time
I did over 500 tax returns this year. It’s not that bad.
IT IS
It was so funny to me when he talked about meter maids being an invented job that finances themselves only to then talk about private tax accountants, the job that ACTUALLY does that lol.
My country is the same. I get the form digitally, look it over and sign it unless I want to add something. Takes 30 seconds and doesn't require a fucking paid professional!
21:38 crying you could hear him thinking “smash”
"Smash?" 🤔🤨
Lmao
He even said “no” to himself out loud
@rubensf7780 that grin while saying no though!
Cortisol is the body's reaction to stress, not the creator of stress. So working out reduces stress, and reducing stress lowers cortisol
I am so glad that woman used the word rebarbative. I like to think I have a rather expansive vocab bank in my brain, but that's a new one for me and I LOVE that word now. It's so good.
Attraction bias is a thing, it’s just like racism. As humans we naturally find comfort with those we find easier to look at, so we unconsciously create biases towards those we think look better, and it’s especially easy if the majority of people you spend time with, whether their personalities are good or bad, are conventionally attractive. That’s the main reason why twist villains were such a cool phenomena back when they weren’t everywhere, because it was easier to be more comfortable around someone who looks nice only for them to reveal they’re evil and break the convention.
Its a thing yes but what I personally hate is when people dont try to actively fight and go against that bias, and excuse it as just natural. I see so many people defend themselves when it comes to treating attractive people better and its just sad.
I think saying it's like racism is a bit extreme, but yeah it's definitely a thing.
@@botanicalitus4194 its internally wired in our brains to treat people certain ways i'm afraid - we can still try our best to treat people equally and we absolutely should, but its something in the back of our head that can't be shushed
This can also slide into other biases as well. For example, if you knew someone who was considered attractive but you really didn't like, you'll gain a bias against attractive people. The human brain likes to find patterns, so if it sees similarities between people, we might assume they also share other traits. Personally, I has a bias against middle aged women, because I have known so many (like my mother and teachers) who treated me bad. That type of bias comes from the instinctive parts of our brains to protect us. Obviously, it's not an excuse, and biases can be overcome. I knew a lot of girls, especially lesbians, who were really bitchy, and I used to have a biases against them. But now I have friends you are lesbians, and am even dating a girl myself! (I'm bigender, so I identify as a girl and a boy) Biases suck, and can really affect our ability to make good friends. Notice when you have a bias against someone, and try to put that aside. Focus on what you know for sure about them and their personality.
not a vent or anything !! just tryin to add to the conversation with my own experience - TW for ED and stuff
i can absolutely confirm this, as a person who's struggled with weight a lot. people treated me like an inconvenience or worse when i was plus size, but when i ended up with an eating disorder (dw im recovering now lol) everyone suddenly started being nice instead of bullying me because i was what they thought was acceptable. something i've noticed in all of this is that people really do seem to see anyone they don't deem attractive as less than human, and the difference in how they treat someone they think is ugly compared to how they treat someone they don't is staggering.
What screams “I’m not feeling good mentally at all?”
That shadow in the corner of my room
on the topic of exercise, my pappy is 91, almost 92 and he is still very sharp and healthy. he swims 2 miles every morning. it is also socialization for him, hes got a whole community that he has gained from it which is important for longevity! when my granny died and he didn't show up to the pool for 3 days, a lady he swims with came to check on him. its really nice to know he has more than family to check up on him.
I was so lost for a minute when (at 0:18) Daniel transitioned from shorts to "lets dive into some ass credit". 🤣🤣

@@bookwermofthefandoms oh well then- I only saw part of avatar and it was at school. They must’ve skipped that part lol
Yes! I heard "ass credit" too. So glad someone else did so it's not just me giggling to myself.
My grandparents also had a pet raccoon, his name was Rocky. He was cool and apparently really sweet to us kids, then one day we went to their house and he was gone. Found out later he’d started acting strange then foaming at the mouth, poor thing went rabid somehow I guess from one of the walks they took him on and he had to be put down 😢 he was an awesome lil dude tho
That is horrible, bet you still have some very strong and loving memories
I'm sorry About Rocky. Seemed like a pretty cool dude. 🦝
I had three baby raccoons growing up. Skinny, Stretch, & Fatso (sorry for the fatphobic names; they were ghosts in the movie Casper).
We took them in when a tree fell down & killed their mom. 😢 They were bottle fed, weaned, & gradually given more independence until we never saw them again. 🥲
One of my favorite memories is digging a hole with one of them in my sandbox while one sibling was crawling up my back & another was chasing a butterfly.

12:00 I remember when my depression really picked up it made a DRASTIC difference. I was walking every day, I was going a mile in 12-15 minutes. Then I realized it went up to 16. Then 22. Then 25. And no matter how much I focused on walking faster I kept getting a longer time. It was freaking me out, it kept going up to the point where it would take me 45 minutes to walk a mile, the exact same route I'd been taking for months.
I've had the same group of people fetishize and be very weird and obsessive over me, obsess in an opposite vitriolic way when I gained weight due to health issues. Some people are really really gross and would prefer you miserable with an ED if it meant they could project their feelings on you.
*LOOKS IN MIRROR*

I just wake up, I don't even have to look in the mirror anymore :)

My brother was a highschool theater teacher and would show the students the movie, Triplets of Belleville, as well as clips from Wall-E to show how much can be communicated without dialogue.
Triplets of Belleville is such an interesting choice. I saw it once on tv as a kid and thought it was a fever dream for years.
@@NoiseDay haha yeah definitely an interesting one! But it really does communicate so much without much dialogue. It's become a favorite of mine that I enjoy introducing people to

17:31 Not true. I "dated" a guy once, first and only person I was ever in a relationship with, ended up not liking aspects of his personality after getting to know him better, noticed he was getting way more attached to me in this relationship than I was to him, and recognized that I wasn't mentally healthy enough to even be in any kind of relationship like that at the time anyway, so I cut it off very quickly.
That was over a decade ago when I was in my late teens to early 20s. Never "dated" since, never been on a proper *date* in my life, never even kissed anyone, haven't found anyone irl that I'm attracted to since. Pretty sure I'm somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum.
I know this will definitely get lost in the comments and is kinda just a momentary thing, but
Thanks for being my current comfort channel as I pack my stuff to move out tomorrow for college, it’s a rough transition period and it means so much that I at least have content like this to have a slight distraction from the hard stuff and make it easier to move to the next big thing. Keep doing what you’re doing, even the stuff that you may not consider your best work is still helping at least a few people out there.
it's gonna be okay! you can do it! ❤❤❤
Surprise Sly Cooper in one of these videos, you love to see it. That Bentley impression was pretty good!
18:56 Anecdotal evidence here, but babies, toddlers and children have ALWAYS gravitated towards me. Wherever I am, they stare at me, smile at me, and come and interact with me. They're fixated on me and sometimes even want hugs from me or for me to pick them up 😊❤ It always melts my heart!
Bitching was a word used a lot in the 80s and 90s according to my dad. If you go through his yearbook signatures, people wrote "have a bitchin' summer." He grew up in Utah.

I hope one day you realize that those feelings are good for nothing.
@@teally-bop fair enough
I’m ugly now too. I’m a good person now. So are you. They get used to looking in the eyes. Quit smiling,and smirk.,
@@Maven0666 if that's you in your profile pic you aren't ugly at all.
I bet you aren't ugly at all. You're probably too harsh on yourself.
I think with the attractiveness thing, there's also a factor of self-fulfilling prophecy at work, at least to some degree. If people FEEL ugly and are super aware of that all the time, they're not going to be as confident. They're not going to be as empathetic and charitable, because that's a hard space to stay in when you're feeling judged and caught up in yourself. And then it just highlights whatever you've got going on physically and becomes a vicious cycle.
There are plenty of people out there that are in no way conventionally attractive, but they're just so confident and magnetic and not thinking about it, that it doesn't really matter. People are just drawn to them. Look at Brennan Lee Mulligan. He's never going to get scouted to be a model, but he's got people drooling over him all over the internet. Because when you look at him, you see HIM and how wonderful he is over everything else, and that makes him beautiful.
Is pretty privilege a thing? Yes of course, but not to the insurmountable degree people often assume, and it comes with its own host of crippling insecurities and disconnection from others. It's all about attitude and perspective. Are we being kind to others because we want to see them smile? Or is it because we feel we have no choice because they won't accept us otherwise? People can pick up on which it is, subconsciously. And no one finds people pleasing attractive except users.
2:51 Aww, this is the sweetest, kindest, and most adorable crime ever committed! ❤
The guy who stole a car he liked and then returned it with a full tank is also weirdly wholesome. I mean, don't do that. But it was cute.
Sly 2: Band of Thieves is one of the best games of all time. The script for that story is better than most Hollywood heist movies.

I think Black Panther fits the bill. I thought it was visually stunning and from memory it seemed pretty followable even without sound.
Just wanna pop in and say that out of all the Reddit videos you do, I really enjoy these lighthearted ones where we’re just enjoying each persons experiences in life rather than “Am I the asshole” reddits where we are trying to figure out if someone is right or wrong. Love you videos, keep it up! Nice shorts.

I'm demi-sexual (on the ace spectrum) and TBH, I think it was a benefit when it came to choosing a partner. My brain does not turn to soup when I see an aesthetically pleasing person. I don't experience *any* attaction to a person unless I already have an emotional connection with that person. My husband and I were friends for a couple of years before we started dating. If I hadn't already connected with his personality, I wouldn't have agreed to date him, even though he is objectively, a hottie.
Youve got a nice pfp
same (I'm also demi) The only bad thing is that it's hard to find a partner since you have to know people pretty well to like them...
I’m the same way!!
I'm also demisexual and sapiosexual, which is a major plus because authentic organic connections can be formed long before most people consider physical attractiveness, which for me is extremely complex on its own and has a lot to do with the heart of an individual first. I truly value visual beauty as its own thing, kind of like art, but I do not attribute it to more subtle important characteristics typically.
Aaaah it makes me sad when ace people talk like this, like they're some advanced form of the species and non-asexuals are primitive. The average non-ace person's brain does not "turn to soup" when they see a beautiful person. We are just normal. The men who consistently go "eh I don't really like her but she's hot" are driven by misogyny, it's not because they're not asexual.
19:50 I was edited out of my class graduation photos(not completely edited out but they put me at the edge of the photo so half of my body was out of frame and added a blur effect around the picture)

One of my big pleasures in life (in addition to garlic toast) is watching these reddit reviews.
P.s. Life of Pi is a visually stunning movie. Kinda messed up, but stunning.
I remember for about a month anytime I tried to sing along to anything I would always be 5 times slower and I couldn't figure out why and my friends in choir were mean to me about it. Now after watching this video it all makes sense now because that was around the time I first got diagnosed with depression.
20:27 Is that what inspired "I, got a big, I got a big nose. And yours (yours) does not even, it does not come close"?
Sly cooper was such a throwback. I remember playing the 2 player mode in sly 3 for hours with my brother. Good times
13:20 The biggest piece of information my therapist gave me was "Thoughts make feelings", meaning if you're thinking about something horrible/sad, you'll feel that way. Misdirection is the biggest key tool in those moments so you don't get stuck in depressive or panicked moods as much. It's a lot harder than it sounds, but once I started to notice I was getting down then naturally seeking out something like colouring or journalling or playing a game, I started to notice that I was having less depression and anxiety overall ^-^ Not being on phone as much was also a big help with those anxiety and depressive moods
Reading the last few answers firmly solidifies the statement "people are more rude to you"
Some stuff listed was so heinous and nobody ever thought about sincerely apologizing
I saw the jay walking comment and cracked up so hard... can't remember the last time I used a crosswalk the whole width of a road
18:45 as an overweight person I feel more motivated to be healthier after hearing these people, not offended but just feeling that I want to feel better about myself both physically and mentally. And maybe a small step for mankind but a huge step for me- I did a warm up exercise today!! Literally 5 minutes warm up lol but a start is a start even though it’s a small step 🎉
This put in perspective how people say “you know you’re unattractive because people don’t look at you the same as they look at other people.” … a lot more than physical attraction goes into someone lighting up. As Daniel said, I get more closed off and scared around people I find very attractive, and I’m more confident with average people.
I loved Sly Cooper and played with my brother growing up too! 😄 I've never heard anyone else talk about those games haha
Thanks for talking about your phone boundaries. It's encouraging for those of us who really wish to disconnect but haven't yet.

9:51 in my country it’s normalized to jaywalk, literally everyone does it and no one bats an eye. I live near a police school and I cross the street multiple times a day because the crosswalk is too far away to go to when I need to go directly across

Best source of life advice out there
Sound in a movie is very important, especially in horror movies. It's true that back in the 20s-40s there wasn't sound in cinema, but movies have evolved so much since then to the point were having good dialogue and good music and good sounds in general is very important. There are movies which don't look great, but their dialogue and sound is incredible, which in my opinion can make up for whatever's wrong visually.
7:25 There's a black-and-white silent version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which keeps all the same footage but with no dialogue, and it's still very easy to follow the story.
im just done watching an Hour worth of Daniel Thrasher old videos for nostalgia sake, just for him to pop this video up right as im done.
I might be going insane
As an ugly girl myself, I hate how u reacted to the comments. No empathy at all in half of them, being ugly is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, it fs u up mentally.
Daniel is a good person so I give him the benefit of the doubt, but yeah I felt the same here. No matter how he feels about himself, at the absolute worst someone might call Daniel "meh." It is totally different to be genuinely *UGLY* and people have no idea how horrible it is. It is NOT the same as just being "whatever" or "not hot." When people find something about your looks unpleasant, rather than just forgettable, it ruins your life.
Can confirm, Avatar is hard af to watch on the old-school bootleg.🤣

i went through, and still kind of going through, a really bad hypochondriac cycle, and oh my gosh, i couldn't do anything. if someone was talking to me, even though i was laser focused on them talking, i couldn't retain any of it. i moved slowly and kinda just was in my own world all of the time. i'm still recovering from the cycle, and tbh the anxiety from it isn't fully gone, but i'm doing a lot better than i was.
if you are a hypochondriac, cycles don't last forever. i heavily suggest telling someone whenever you start to get nervous or anxious about health. Writing anxious thoughts in a journal also works. Once you get those thoughts out of your head and into the world, it helps you see how you were extremely overthinking

Keeping in touch with your friends is my answer, it's hard to make friends when you're older. In my experiences, people don't tend to want to expand their friend groups after highschool/college.

Pretty privilege is a crazy thing. As someone whose weight has fluctuated due to an autoimmune disorder, I can tell you that people treat me better when I’m skinnier. People who are overweight are also less likely to get a job (if there is a qualified skinnier person), and they tend to be offered a lower starting salary. It sucks. Fatphobia is a really awful thing, and unfortunately, people justify it by saying that it will make fat people more motivated to lose weight.
Pretty privilege should only be a thing when picking a romantic partner. And then it's subjective and varies from person to person who is considered attractive to whom. In other areas, it's sad that it exists.
@@Dominic-he7sg I don’t think you call it pretty privilege when picking a romantic partner.

In response to the “mentally not okay” ones, for me currently my hygiene goes out the window and I get easily overwhelmed. When I was in middle school I slept way too much and I’d do nothing.
i binged all the redit videos in 2 days, please make more, I NEED MORE, PLEASE, AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa........

The whole yellow alien thing had me in stitches 😅
I honestly liked this video more than your other ones. Not that I dislike the others, but I feel like this time you talked more about your points of view than on other videos :)
If you're not attractive, a lot of men won't hold the door for you - or if they do they resent it and eyeroll or huff 🙄
But there are a lot of people that are just nice to everyone 😊 or are polite automatically out of good habit - so there's that at least.
I've been trying to figure out why daniel above other youtubers and i swear to god it has to be the quick outro.
You know, like AFTER all the top tier comedy. and his surprise mics.
I've been told by basically everyone all my life I'm ugly af and I agree I certainly ain't easy on the eyes. People are generally meaner and young people are especially cruel about it and generally act like they have special permission to abuse ya if you don't look conventionally attractive and people are far less likely to intervene. But I have learned a good few of them are projecting their own insecurities onto me so when I happily agree that I am in fact hella ugly they pretty quickly turn their tune into being like you aren't ugly and act like I just called them a slur or something lol. I have also been called many a slur, only a few of which I can personally reclaim lol. People love being mean but hate the repurcussions of being mean so will latch onto any they see as being easy targets. Pretty privilege is real but so is average privilege. I'm perfectly fine being ugly but I sure wish it didn't come with the everyone tries to abuse/harass you bit.
