I find it crazy how we all have eyes, nose, mouths in the same place but we all look so different. Even identical twins look completely different if you know them.
Life is strange! The more you know, the more strange it gets... it’s like Alice in wonderland... we are all Alice falling down the rabbit hill, which is the human intellect... Falling into more and more knowledge...
it would be very interesting if you could do a video on why Kylie Jenner for example (and Bella Hadid, etc) look so much older than they are (22/23). Since youth is an indicator of beauty, why do they keep getting procedures done that make them look so much older? it would be interesting to see why these faces are perceived as attractive regardless.
QOVES Studio Yes! You did explain in that video how the effects of fillers only look pleasing when in a relaxed face and how when smiling the fillers stay lifted thus making them look unnatural. (Paraphrased)
@@TheSmiaf i myself have low body fat but look very much like a child (especially without make up); I'm turning 24 this year and people think im max 20, typically 18/19. Now, I don't even have full lips or a tiny nose that would mirror child like features, but looking at Bella and Kylie for example, they have all these features I don't! but there is still something in the face that makes you think they are fucking 32!
Merita Hrustanovic I get what you mean I’m like 91 lbs so I’m considered skinny? but people always think I’m 12-14 lol I think Bella looks older because she got work done so young
People are so weird. When they’re young they want to look older and when old want to look younger. I have a baby face and I love it. I am grateful for it as well!
I know right. Older people wanna look younger, Yonger people wanna look older. Fair people tan themselves, brown people go under the skin lightening treatment. Silky haired people want rolls & curls, curly haired people straighten their hair. Conclusion : Humans are miserable and never satisfied with what they have. Always insecure, always frustrated.
@@nafisa1014 if you mean a strong jawline and prominent cheek bones along with "baby" central features (big eyes/lips/button nose) i have that too. have fun with it :D
The celebs which are chosen to show that “age well” you are forgetting the fact that they have a lot of money to support that aging to be better than the average people.
There's also something called genes. My grandma is near 80 y'old, has never used any sort of skincare and mask or whatever. She has saggy skin but doesn't have obvious wrinkles and deep lines. Me on the other hand, 18 y'old have fine line on forehead 😭. I think it's due to the difference in lifestyle.
Helen Iv well of course plastic surgery, filler and treat meant a help BUT you’d be surprised how far everyday sun screen and a basic skin care go. A good sun screen is everything!
That's doesn't detract from his point at all. Neotenous and more attractive faces will age better than others. If you take Chanel Iman and compare her to Elizabeth Moss, Iman will age better than Moss. Moss could have all the procedures under the sun but it wouldn't change the outcome.
There are plenty of people that are not rich and age very well. Just because they have money doesn’t mean that they will age well. plastic surgery/expensive creams doesn’t do much for people. There is a limit to how young it can make you look. Some of these 40 yo celebs with plastic surgery look like 80 yo grandmas with duck lips. It may shave off 5/10 years at most before it starts looking scary.
You can make a video about facial features harmony? And explain why some People with defined jaw, forward maxilla, straight nose, high cheekbones etc are "ugly" (more say, of course) than others?
They don't have symmetrical faces so when you see photos of them they are not as photogenic and don't have facial harmony like other photogenic people with symmetrical faces
@@arrows2323 you should probably stop thinking so highly of your opinion "if i tell him the rest of my explaination, then he would be destroyed and probably kill himself because he literally cuts himself" wtf is wrong with you
@@RsLeonardo1 So when you know a woman that doesn't look like a model you tell her "You're average looking!"? Lmao, maybe the average woman is pretty, whatever, beauty is subjective after all.
most people start looking bad by the time they get into their 40s.poor diet ,sun damage, alcohol ,drugs ,smoking ,white sugar ,sodas ,fried food and ageing itself ,your hormone levels start dropping off as you get older ,they say you lose half of your skins collegen by 40 ,as you had at 20, the actual aging process starts around 27, but ,it takes awhile for all of the damage you have done to show up by your 40s .
Chelsea Mcbride because this guy’s been doing the same thing to me across multiple videos, he just started bullying me and calling me ugly for no reason... i just wanted to get back at him
if you don’t believe me go see it for yourself, it started on the video “how jaw alignment affects social perceptions of you”. i replied to a comment on someone saying something like “i wish my friends would tell me the truth when i ask them to rate me or what’s wrong with my appearance” and i replied saying that i wish the same thing, then this guy came out of nowhere and started attacking me and calling me “ugli” and he even found my other comments and replies that were completely irrelevant to the former situation and just kept insulting me. take a look in the comments. he replies to almost everyone to put in his two cents and brag about his appearance. he’s mentally unwell.
@@drmosaddegh ike the soccer dude is so annoying, all he does is talk about how attractive he is, like it's fine a couple times but on every single comment? Nahhhh dude
A women did everything in her power to get me onto a flight after I'd been bumped off, because she thought I was a young teenager travelling alone. Cute privilege is definitely a thing. On the other hand, it can lead to a level of incompetence and self doubt
@@user-re8tq7du8c Hmm, this one is complicated. Cute privilege brings on the urge to protect and defend. Men...can get the benefits of cute privilege, but it won't feel like a benefit to them because it comes at the cost of their masculinity. Cuteness=femininity. Example: A 5'0 girl enters a store late at night. She is small, so no one is intimidated. When she asks questions in a quiet voice, people are forced to listen more closely and tend to be more responsive. Her lack of intimidation also leads to more helpfulness from the staff. This is 'cute privilege.' This happens often with East Asian men. A 5'4 East Asian man enters a space and is immediately seen as less intimidating, and thus people are more likely to speak to him and help him. He's wearing glasses and still looks like he's in high school, but he's actually a mid-20s dude. I see this all the time, at banks especially the old women are so helpful when they see a little EA guy comes in, but they switch up completely when a gruff black guy comes in. This is also 'cute privilege.' because his features helped him get better service.
So when babies keep looking at you continuously and constantly, that means you're conventionally atractive ? Now I like babies, you, and them, just busted my nonexistent confidence haha.
Please do one about noses! I can definitely vouch for cute privilege being a thing. People are waayy more willing to help you out if they think you're 17 when you're mid 20s (speaking from experience). It's s definitely different to "pretty privilege" though.
well if you are 25 you should need less help and generaly "to have your shit together" lol. If you need help at 17 - its just inexperience, but if you need help at 25 its incompetence. (its simular to how people are more willing to help and forgiving towards women than men, coz most men dont have "cute and adorable" factor working for them)
@@angelhellokitti You have a lot of learning to do. Look up studies on the effect of beauty in crime, on grades, on job resumes. Let alone the benefit they get in romantic relationships. Beauty is subjective but this whole series is about what people generally find attractive and which features are considered almost universally attractive
as an artist this stuff is really nice to watch bc now I've got a scientific explanation as to why i like some of my drawings more and some less. Overall tho I find in art distinctive faces rather than attractive ones are the most interesting ones. But I think you covered that already, explaining that that is a trait people want in models. But yeah, great series, thanks for sharing it!
@@golovinpress6492 if I have a drawing or painting done I definitely do not lose interest, why would I? it's a face I have studied and spent an hour or many more to work on. I've drawn old grandpas with all their wrinkles and mustaches and harsh eyes, I've drawn women with crooked noses and gaps in their teeth. People are fascinating, no matter what. Those faces, no matter how unconventional they are, are worth painting and drawing. And besides I am talking about art, not about preferences regarding a partner??
Ze Jh i feel that. I absolutely love drawing people with facial imperfections, wrinkles, sagging skin etc. cause I find drawing conventional pretty or young people kind of boring. I think also find myself staring at certain people because just really want to draw them lol.
@@SamG-tw2iz oh absolutely. I had a friend with perfect hands for referencing and I would catch myself staring at them bc they had such sharp angles and it made sketching hands much easier. It's a compliment she hadn't heard before.
I have a baby face genetically. Both my parents are baby faced. It’s so horrible in your teenage to have baby face cz when your friends are enjoying their teenage period,you look like a 12/13/14 years old baby. But when the age of hair whitening comes, it’s a blessing to have baby face. You look like a teenager in that time.
I’ve always been super baby faced and resented it bc people respected me less and when I tell them my real age, I almost feel like it would be a shady put down, “omg look young” with an “eww” attitude. One day, I had a patient go through this same conversation with me and he said that being youthful is sought after in his country and it often means that youthful looks comes from a happy, joyful personality. A serious “old” face comes from mean people and nobody wants that. I felt my looks be appreciated for once. For the record- he was a Russian so maybe it’s a cool culture belief
@@golovinpress6492 ew what? Bitch Too bad you can't go to a surgeon to fix that attitude. You can have a slightly forehead which still suits the face if everything else is in harmony. Meanwhile you are sitting here thinking that you have some magnetic looks which makes everyone cream their pants. Get a mirror and take a good look at your miserable self.
You should also do a video on how eyebrows can either make you look extremely useful, or extremely age, for example eyebrows being too light versus dark her eyebrows, then plucked eyebrows versus heavy bushy eyebrows, I Brows that are too high arched can actually age the face and eyebrows that don’t have a good shape can drop the face and make it look aged as well
Brows depend so much on bone structure. If you have huge bones in your face then thin, plucked eyebrows wont compliment you. If you have delicate small bones bushy brows wont fit you.
I love how nina dobrev is a perfect example of eyebrows. The eyebrows she has now (thick and natural) age her so much its unbelievable. She is still attractive and they are surely easier to maintain. Nonetheless I honestly think that now she is pretty with thin eyebrows she is striking! Power of brows
@@TheRikkuShak That's probably because her eye features are strong and deep-seated, I find that deep seated eyes makes a person older somehow and they are better paired with decent thin ones to balance it out
snake on drugs I agree, but it also it depends on how full your face is. I have delicate bone structure myself but my face is wide and soft so I can’t make my eyebrows too thin otherwise it’ll make me look puffy.
Hmm a flat nose bridge is a sign of neoteny which could be seen as attractive? Filipinos need to hear this because we’re always bashing ourselves for having flat nose bridges lol.
What?? This is so cute why would you hate it? It is so unfair how people always 'belittle' their own beautiful features. I love how all eastern asians look I just cant when I hear you don't like your features haha But I am the same, women from the Balkans often have strong features (for me it's my jaw and it's not even that masculine) and I HATE it. Although I have seen so many models with strong jaws in recent years 🙏
When I was growing up, I noticed that people were much kinder and more helpful to girls who had big eyes and little rosebud mouths coupled with heart shaped faces. I never had these qualities, so I got disliked quite a bit by peers and adults alike.
Very interesting!! I do have a baby face and as a teen it pissed me off because everything I did was “cute”, and I felt like no one was taking me seriously. They would just chuckle and talk condescendingly to me. At the time, I started wearing heavy make up and tighter clothes, heels, to look more mature but it ended up getting the wrooooonnng attention. Surprisingly older men who could be my father and I was still a minor!!! Wtf? I’m 25 now and I still look 16... still get talked down... But I will be very thankful when I’m 60 hopefully!
With celebrities it has more to do with you are so used to seeing their faces and other people like them. Popularity and likeability amongst a large group of people definitely changes how attractive someone can be to people.
Elizabeth Olsen is not weird looking lol. She is pretty standart beautuful. Cumberbatch on the other hand - I think big part of his attractiveness is that he is tall and coz he become famous for role (Sherlock) that is very dominant and powerfull and independant. + his non reactive face. He looks very calm and comfortable in his own skin - all that are traits of masciline strong man comabined with the body of a clasical english gentelman. Tall but not too tall, lean but not skinny, dominant but not threatening. Other example of that is the guy who played doctor House. Im sure a lot of women find him very attractive after they watched the show. (if they have never seen him being silly in the comedies he acted before)
@@XY-dc4ypNot true, there are a lot of celebrities who don't date only 20 years old and they still have money and fame. Also this happens with women too sometimes, Madonna is famous and she looks for young partners
I used to hate when people assumed I was in middle school *after* I graduated college. But now that I’m officially in my mid-twenties I take it as a compliment 😊
Yay, one that I finally win! At almost 32 most people think I am in my early twenties. I don’t have a large forehead, but it is round and my eyes are large and nose is “button” shaped with a very flat bridge. I look almost the same as I did in kindergarten. It’s a bit odd though that the first page of the study on Japanese people you posted just refers to skin color. I thought you were going to talk about it and how it relates to neoteny, but you never mention it.
I once read a little excerpt about how masculine male + feminine female pairings, make for unattractive daughters. So I suppose its implying feminine male + feminine female = attractive daughters (on average)? Id be curious if you could expand more upon this, I swear there was a research paper but I don't remember where I read this tbh. I should say that I'm curious if its the same for sons as well, depending on the pairing. Also this might be steering into more genetics territory but Id be curious to know you can find any info about which features are more heritable. I've heard certain features from the father are more likely to be passed on, and certain features of the mother. (cheekbones, eye area/shape, lip size, etc)
It's probably feminist BS, because they're trying to make men as pussified and simpified as possible. They want to breed as many feminine men as they can. Masculine men make beautiful daughters as much as pretty boys do and it also just depends on what you consider beautiful. I personally like women with strong square jawlines and consider them the most beautiful if everything else is on point, but some men don't.
@@Longlostpuss what's feminists got to do with this? They can interpret it wrong but I still can't understand why they would prefer more feminine looking males over masculine looking. If I wanted to fuck a girl - I'd choose a girl, not a pretty boy.
@@Longlostpuss I reassure you it wasn't feminist BS lmao. I don't browse those type of sites whatsoever. It was a research paper which had no affiliation to that sort of thing. If I manage to come across it I'll link it here. The hard part is finding the right key words to search for it (Google is ass)
these are so interesting, I have always had a baby face (I guess now I can start regarding it as neotenus) and noticed people always rushing to help me out in situations where I never asked for help. I once asked someone why they are doing this after noticing it time and time again and they responded "You looked like you were struggling" which I found highly reflective on what people must assume when they look at my face. Even a beard doesn't help. Anyway this whole channel is really great and I applaud all the research you are putting into this!
Would be helpful.I mean,a large forehead can mean youthfullness and in any case can be covered by bangs but what happens when you have a really small forehead and a tendency to a pearshaped face shape?
Michael vsauce made a video about it it's called what make things cute and while analyzing stuff he said that bigger foreheads are attractive on females and cute since its what babies look like And it's true I find girls with bigger foreheads more attractive
Lol I actually have a baby face which literally is very similar to my childhood face....but I always thought it's a disadvantage from attractiveness point of view coz most of the guys around me like more mature and supposedly "hot" faces. I kinda always felt weird coz by body has become an adult's but my face still looks same as before
Hope you do one on lips and talk about the effects of both genders, and how modern lips trends sometimes breaks the golden mask ratio but we still consider it attractive.
Bit late to comment this lol But as someone who looks more androgynous face-wise, I would say it's just a mix of masculine and feminine features, as well as hair. I'm East-Asian so that probably helps since the lines between feminine and masculine blur a bit more for my race. My more feminine features would be: a softer jawline, full lips, and smaller but still prominent nose Masculine features: eyes (narrow flat monolids), thicker brows, short hair
I think it's good to delve into what women find attractive for other women. I think women prefer masculine features on other women, which is why female beauty standards lean more masculine (such as stronger jawlines, longer faces, smaller foreheads, slimmer body frames devoid of most curves, etc) when women are comparing themselves to each other while female beauty standards for men lean more feminine (everything you've explained in these videos) which could explain why most women are unhappy with themselves since they are trying to fit into more masculine ideal? It's food for thought.
What I’ve seen is that men tend to be open minded towards women’s appearances for the most part whether they know it or not they end up finding thin and curvy, short and tall women attractive. As long as a woman fits basic beauty standards men will find her good looking lol. I think women are unhappy bc society convinces us that we wouldn’t be enough eitherways. Im thin and tall and feel insecure about my body but my short and curvy friends feel insecure about their body types too, and of course social media has made us compare ourselves to fake unattainable standards.
@@tanishapandey400 It's not "Society" that's made you feel the way that you do: other women have made you feel that way. Women start all of the beauty trends, not men, so you should direct your attention towards the people starting, and perpetuating, these ridiculous standards. Women are also just more likely to feel insecure because women naturally compare themselves to other women, so they will pick up on which woman gets the most attention and compare themselves to her.
I remember reading that it was the opposite at least for straight women. Straight Women tends to prefer more feminine features on women because of projection. Those feminine traits can effect what makes somewhere pass as a women or not, so it's just assumed the more feminine traits the more 'womanly' a woman is if that makes sense. I can't remember where I read it though
@@amandasmith4089 But if that were the case then why do Instagram models and models in general, who look more masculine, have such a large female following and admiration? Most of these instagram models are famous because of other women, and where most of the beauty trends come from, while men tend to go for the more feminine-looking instagram models.
I has an older looking face. Like when i entered college, they thought i was a senior and ready to graduate. But now, my face just stays the same or is even younger looking than my peers. And i find much older guys find me attractive
I’m 16 and have always had a much more mature face. People think I’m 19. And it sucks. This video shows why lmao. Hopefully my face stops friggin aging so much jeez
Hà Vương Yup I know several young girl that have a mature face by age 11, with a strong bones structure that makes them often unappealing to boys their age. But very appealing to older dudes. When this young girls, grows into lady, they never again age, like they look 25 forever. When your sharp jaws and chin hold your skin well tucked and tight, it no longer moves. Me I have rounder traits, and I used to look super puffy when I was younger. Now that Im 25, ive lost some of my cheeks and my face is elongated cuz im 6ft tall, and if i was white, no doubt I’d have a droopy face. But because Im black and when I look at my parents and grandma, I can see our skin itself stays very thick and firm and don’t collapse. Thank god, cause I don’t have any sharp bones in my face to hold it all together
Reverse here lol as a senior in highschool, I was mistaken for a middleschool kid, and as a senior student I was mistaken for a junior highschooler haha even now people are surprised when they learn I'm 27, because they think I'm like, 18/20.
My neoteny switch got flipped too far! Every time I leave the house without makeup people think I'm in middle school but I'm 24. I'm actually really insecure about it, I'm also thin and not very curvy so that doesn't help either. Thank god for dramatic eye makeup!
Which is strange .. I am white, coming from the middle of Europe. I love how middle eastern women look, I love eastern asian women, i LOVE especially east african women (I am in awe with Ethiopian women) The women I personally like the least are white blondes. I don't mean to be rude at all to anyone. Scandinavian women can be freaking beautiful holy hell, but it's just what I personally like the least :)
I grew up in Europe and I always heard darker skin being praised. As someone who looks like a corpse color-wise (and has been told so, repeatedly, to my face), I can definitely attest that beauty standards vary a lot even if they tend to relate strongly to the upper class. That is to say, when rich people stayed inside and pale, versus now, when they go tan all-year round. Anyways, sorry for the saga I just wrote, but basically, you can't just say that the beauty stendard is white because of colonisation, there are other factors to it.
Thaïs Wei Just because you hear darker skin is praised doesn’t mean white is not the standard of beauty. Look at the advertisements around you, look at the media and what they promote, just type “beautiful woman” on google images and you can see that they push the narrative that white is the only kind of beauty. And no, one model of color in a sea of white models is not diversity and still means the white standard of beauty is alive and well. Also when a white woman is tanned it is praised, when a woman of color has a natural tan they are still looked as less beautiful by society. Also, having “dark skin” is not the only issue, it is also having features like your nose, or hair that deviates from white features (like having extremely curly hair and bigger noses). Yes, some societies do have a culture where the rich people would sit at home and therefore have lighter skin, but again skin tone is not the only issue, it is also our features that deviate from the white norm. Colonization had a lot to do with it because beauty=power and in order to exert yourself as most powerful you would exert yourself as most beautiful.
I think having youthful features is good for men too, because it doesn't matter how longer their fertility lasts, i don't think a 60 years old has the same attractiveness as a 20 years old. In our youth we are stronger, healthier and more beautiful, and these are important things for both men and women
I have never been this excited about learning something so props to you! I'm always impatient for what you're doing next. Keep up the good work :) stay healthy all of you!
Hello , I’m from China. English is not my first language, sorry if I had any grammar problems. The black and white Chinese girl profile picture you used in this video, she was a famous internet catfish back in 2012 (I guess)Loll to me she should be Inst VS reality video too.
i've always been attracted to baby faced women and I didnt know why. Even as a teen, I like baby faced girls. My first girlfriend had a baby face with chubby cheeks lol. Now as an adult, I still prefer neotenous looking women.
depends on the eyebags, some babies are born with eyebags called tear troughs and i don't think they make you look older personally. But then again big saggy eye pouches under the eye will def make you look older.
It depends, Koreans are super into having a puffy undereye area because it makes them look youthful, you can look into "aegyo-sal" and see how eyebags can make you look younger
Attractive people transfer superior material genetic to their offspring. Which make them a little more immune to disease, and pre-dispositions. It is completely reasonable from a biological standpoint for humans to select attractive people. Or attractiveness have a huge impact in such selection. Unfortunately we are subject to lifestyles which go further from what could produce great offspring. Some examples are: -having kids late; -not breastfeeding long enough or at all; -not having hard nor nutrient dense foods; -consuming too many/much drugs and sugar; -breathing through mouth; -not exercising enough or at all; -not sleeping enough; Believe me. Over time, this will have a huge impact not only in your appearance, but in your genetics as well.
Yes! Breastfeeding really does have an effect because the babies have to use more jaw muscles. ALSO Breastfeeding in general is so much better for EVERYONE. Immune system, intelligence, dietary, and the list goes on for ever.
@Selena Filipinos, old? They are, for me, the most beautiful mixed people from Asian, one of, I would say. They look... Adult, not child, like obsessive as Korea and China, are.
Selena It really depends. Most Filipinos have mixed blood (like me, I look East Asian rather than Southeast Asian) and the most of the pure ones are the ones from the tribes. There’s a range of features for Filipinos.
@Katlyn old for there age? But Koreans and Chinese look young? Like are you basing this off of those in East Asian countries that get surgery verses the Filipinos who are natural? Cause I don’t understand what you mean. First off all Filipinos are mixed so they don’t look a certain way. Second off, 1/3 of Korean women get surgery while in then Philippines that’s just rare to get surgery. And finally, what??
@@missbrookes1143 Filipino look different from east asian because they're southeast asian like thai, indonesians and cambodians, it's not because they're mixed. The vast majority of filipinos are malay and aren't mixed.
I read a lot about neotony faces it's really interesting. Many research papers are available on internet. You guys should look it up 😊. Some research papers call this "babyfaceness" too. It's interesting to see people with these facial features are also perceived as more innocent, nicer and thrust worthy than other people. That's why cartoon characters usually have those features too (but very emphasize). If someone has a round face and childlike features, I highly suggest you to read these articles. I have almost all these facial features and it has helped me like my face more. (It has also explained why people treat me as if I was a teen even though I'm 24 lol or why people always call me cute or sweet (I hate it haha).)
Jolie has basically all features you so far discussed as beautiful. Lucky she. I think even her lips are the least important, yet she started this trend to put filler into lips, even though she has natural ones. Women want to have her lips hoping to become symbols of beauty and attractiveness, while they could not be more wrong. Usually they destroy face proportions putting fillers and that makes them less attractive.
Exactly. I have a face structure like her, don't like that much, intimidates men, but I don't have her eyes, that is really what makes people attracted to her, with all the features we discuss here. I am glad that I go slim, and my lips also go slim, I didn't like them that puffy, to be honest.
Miss Ellaneous yes, but... you cannot deny that this boom to pump lips to extra size started when Angelina became the hottest name in Hollywood. even surgeons claimed women are asking particulary for Angelina's lips, yet her beauty in my opinion comes from completely different features than her famous lips.
One does not negate the other. 20 years ago big lips were popularized to a great extend by Angelina’s meteoric rise to fame. Over the last decade, Kim K has popularized big lips and body parts due to her obsession with African women’s features. To this day we continue to have women idolize both Angie’s beauty and wish to emulate it, just like we have women trying to achieve Asian or African features through surgery or fillers.
Daria Dari That’s because people like some features on white women, but not on other races. Let’s be honest most White women would feel weird going to a surgeon and ask for black women like lips. So of course they’d choose a white woman with similar lips instead. Most of these trends are adaptations of black beauty standards which are now seen as more acceptable. Because it’s not just black people doing it anymore.
Yes! this!! A person's voice give such an insight to their personality, it's incredible how voices represent a person's character but it's such a underrated topic.
I won't speak of bella as people say she got heavy plastic surgery but about Kylie, she has great makeup artists that make her look older. Sans makeup Kylie looks her real age.
Hey, LIPS! I feel like you never talk about lips. For me it's something very important at making a face attractive or not and I feel like I'm not the only one that thinks this way. I would even go as far as saying that lips can "make or break" a face. Any plans on featuring lips as one of the future videos topics?
I'm always confused about my face, do i have a baby face or not. I'm 21 now but literally only couple of people that i met throughout my life could guess my age. A lot of them were shocked with my age because they thought i was younger and the other half of people thought that i was older. I literally have no idea wtf i look like
I’ve also had a similar experience. It’s possible you may have like an equal mix of “mature” features with more neotenous ones. Like for example: my face looks baby faced because it’s short and wide plus I have a small mouth, but if you were to focus on my eyes they’re more “mature” because they’re hooded and my eyebrows sit very low. I also have a longer mid face despite having a short face.
"If you going to choose someone to 50 years, you'd want to choose someone that indicates they're going to age well". Sounds savage. Like you're going to choose a car or a house than a human being.
Ha ha! Good point! This kind of video, just like Hollywood, telling people who is more attractive. Does not mean this is the truth! Just like every tree, every bird, every bee, every human BEING is born beautiful. We are spiritual beings in physical bodies. We are all born as winners, very special winners-- each person beating multi-millions or billions of sperms to be the one! We look more beautiful if we cultivate the inner beauty. :) Some people are seen as "more attractive" than others. This is socially programmed by media, elites, certain men in the society, such as Hollywood producers, advertising casting directors. With self love, one doesn't care what other "programmed" people think anymore.
This is why Selena Gomez always kind of creeped me out. She has baby face to the extreme, her facial map is that of a ten year old. And she plays this up in her voice and gestures too. I'm not trying to fetish shame 'smalls' but she definitely puts off an adult/baby vibe. She barely pronounces her words and speaks in a higher register than is natural when on camera or in studio and much more.
She doesn't speak in an unnatural higher register when she's on camera or in the studio. Her voice is deeper than the average female voice. Are your ears alright?
@Yusra Ilyas The jaws. The intimidating part are the jawline. I say this because I have the same features as her, even the lips, a little smaller, bu puffy as her, but my eyes are smaller =( So, a LOT of males have been intimidated by my face. it's traumatic if I have to say, being called by a lot of names), and I noticed only the weaker or uglier males called me that, but the confident males, tall like me.
@@nono6764 We're not comparing her to other women but to herself. She changes her voice to a higher pitch a lot of the time than her natural voice. But for some reason a lot of celebs do that. My most obvious example being Ariana Grande. IMO they're probs not aware they're doing it.
What about mental neoteny? The hypothesis that our brains are becoming more neotenous to maintain their plasticity and adapt better to new environments translating into our physical features?
@@golovinpress6492 And what makes you think that? Ever read an empirical research paper? They can be about any topic. And if it's well structured, why not? Someone will find it interesting.
As a lesbian I appreciate that you didnt just take the "because we want to breed!!!!" direction. I've never been able to relate to that but I can definitely understand and relate to being attracted to partners that look like they will be alive and healthy with you for a long time.
It is important to acknowledge that beauty standards are often tied to systemic racism and colorism, which can have a greater impact on women of color. Instead of simply telling women to have more confidence, we should work towards dismantling these harmful beauty standards and creating a more inclusive and diverse definition of beauty.
My Mum who is 72 and my older sister and I all have rounded button type noses. I do get told often enough that I don't look 46 despite no botox/fillers. I've always speculate that more softer features tend to age less harshly though this was just my own opinion/observation.
I have a baby face because of my big eyes, v faced shape and idk I look very naive lol. I would like to have a little sharper face I find them way more attractive
Idk if you guys noticed, but all of Angie’s features are “full”, including her lips, cheek, and nose. Pre surgery, her nose was round and “bulbous”. I think she got her first rhinoplasty around 2000, and kept refining it. Because her nose is so narrow and defined now, consequently, her lips and cheeks stand out. I’m sure her jaw is natural. She is beautiful!

@@drmosaddegh go off sis, YAAAAAAAS
it would be very interesting if you could do a video on why Kylie Jenner for example (and Bella Hadid, etc) look so much older than they are (22/23). Since youth is an indicator of beauty, why do they keep getting procedures done that make them look so much older? it would be interesting to see why these faces are perceived as attractive regardless.
It's something social. When we are younger, we want to look older, and vice-versa.
QOVES Studio Yes! You did explain in that video how the effects of fillers only look pleasing when in a relaxed face and how when smiling the fillers stay lifted thus making them look unnatural. (Paraphrased)
Where I’m from , Bella Hadid wouldn’t really be considered attractive . Someone like young Monica Bellucci would fill in the criteria .
@@TheSmiaf i myself have low body fat but look very much like a child (especially without make up); I'm turning 24 this year and people think im max 20, typically 18/19. Now, I don't even have full lips or a tiny nose that would mirror child like features, but looking at Bella and Kylie for example, they have all these features I don't! but there is still something in the face that makes you think they are fucking 32!
Merita Hrustanovic I get what you mean I’m like 91 lbs so I’m considered skinny? but people always think I’m 12-14 lol I think Bella looks older because she got work done so young
People are so weird. When they’re young they want to look older and when old want to look younger.
I have a baby face and I love it. I am grateful for it as well!
I know right. Older people wanna look younger, Yonger people wanna look older.
Fair people tan themselves, brown people go under the skin lightening treatment.
Silky haired people want rolls & curls, curly haired people straighten their hair.

The celebs which are chosen to show that “age well” you are forgetting the fact that they have a lot of money to support that aging to be better than the average people.
There's also something called genes. My grandma is near 80 y'old, has never used any sort of skincare and mask or whatever. She has saggy skin but doesn't have obvious wrinkles and deep lines. Me on the other hand, 18 y'old have fine line on forehead 😭. I think it's due to the difference in lifestyle.
Helen Iv well of course plastic surgery, filler and treat meant a help BUT you’d be surprised how far everyday sun screen and a basic skin care go. A good sun screen is everything!
But this has nothing to do with anything, his point is just that people who age well are more attractive.
That's doesn't detract from his point at all. Neotenous and more attractive faces will age better than others. If you take Chanel Iman and compare her to Elizabeth Moss, Iman will age better than Moss. Moss could have all the procedures under the sun but it wouldn't change the outcome.
There are plenty of people that are not rich and age very well. Just because they have money doesn’t mean that they will age well.
plastic surgery/expensive creams doesn’t do much for people. There is a limit to how young it can make you look. Some of these 40 yo celebs with plastic surgery look like 80 yo grandmas with duck lips.
It may shave off 5/10 years at most before it starts looking scary.
You can make a video about facial features harmony? And explain why some People with defined jaw, forward maxilla, straight nose, high cheekbones etc are "ugly" (more say, of course) than others?

A women did everything in her power to get me onto a flight after I'd been bumped off, because she thought I was a young teenager travelling alone. Cute privilege is definitely a thing. On the other hand, it can lead to a level of incompetence and self doubt
how old are you?
"cute privilege" Bro,what?
But not for men i guess
@@Ashley-km4qi 21 and she thought I was under 16 (unaccompanied)
@@user-re8tq7du8c Hmm, this one is complicated. Cute privilege brings on the urge to protect and defend. Men...can get the benefits of cute privilege, but it won't feel like a benefit to them because it comes at the cost of their masculinity. Cuteness=femininity.
Example:
A 5'0 girl enters a store late at night. She is small, so no one is intimidated. When she asks questions in a quiet voice, people are forced to listen more closely and tend to be more responsive. Her lack of intimidation also leads to more helpfulness from the staff. This is 'cute privilege.'
This happens often with East Asian men. A 5'4 East Asian man enters a space and is immediately seen as less intimidating, and thus people are more likely to speak to him and help him. He's wearing glasses and still looks like he's in high school, but he's actually a mid-20s dude. I see this all the time, at banks especially the old women are so helpful when they see a little EA guy comes in, but they switch up completely when a gruff black guy comes in. This is also 'cute privilege.' because his features helped him get better service.
So when babies keep looking at you continuously and constantly, that means you're conventionally atractive ? Now I like babies, you, and them, just busted my nonexistent confidence haha.
Same lmao
Omg babies always stare at me and im scared they think im ugly (im not very attractive,, i dont have a very symmetrical face lol)
Please do one about noses! I can definitely vouch for cute privilege being a thing. People are waayy more willing to help you out if they think you're 17 when you're mid 20s (speaking from experience). It's s definitely different to "pretty privilege" though.
He already did one about noses
well if you are 25 you should need less help and generaly "to have your shit together" lol. If you need help at 17 - its just inexperience, but if you need help at 25 its incompetence. (its simular to how people are more willing to help and forgiving towards women than men, coz most men dont have "cute and adorable" factor working for them)
Pretty privilege does exist yet you have some people denying it all the way
MyNamed Name no it’s not a thing.. people that are considered more attractive do not have more privilege.. and “pretty” is subjective anyway..
@@angelhellokitti You have a lot of learning to do. Look up studies on the effect of beauty in crime, on grades, on job resumes. Let alone the benefit they get in romantic relationships.

as an artist this stuff is really nice to watch bc now I've got a scientific explanation as to why i like some of my drawings more and some less.
Overall tho I find in art distinctive faces rather than attractive ones are the most interesting ones. But I think you covered that already, explaining that that is a trait people want in models. But yeah, great series, thanks for sharing it!
@@golovinpress6492 if I have a drawing or painting done I definitely do not lose interest, why would I? it's a face I have studied and spent an hour or many more to work on. I've drawn old grandpas with all their wrinkles and mustaches and harsh eyes, I've drawn women with crooked noses and gaps in their teeth. People are fascinating, no matter what. Those faces, no matter how unconventional they are, are worth painting and drawing.
And besides I am talking about art, not about preferences regarding a partner??

I guess having a baby face has brought me some benefits, but being told you look 12 when you're 25 isn't cute🙄🤣
I feel it😭
THIS
It will be when you are 50 still 35 😭
It is for me
This!!
I have a baby face genetically. Both my parents are baby faced. It’s so horrible in your teenage to have baby face cz when your friends are enjoying their teenage period,you look like a 12/13/14 years old baby. But when the age of hair whitening comes, it’s a blessing to have baby face. You look like a teenager in that time.
I’ve always been super baby faced and resented it bc people respected me less and when I tell them my real age, I almost feel like it would be a shady put down, “omg look young” with an “eww” attitude. One day, I had a patient go through this same conversation with me and he said that being youthful is sought after in his country and it often means that youthful looks comes from a happy, joyful personality. A serious “old” face comes from mean people and nobody wants that. I felt my looks be appreciated for once. For the record- he was a Russian so maybe it’s a cool culture belief
Please do one on foreheads 😭
At 111 I need somebody to finally tell me if my huge forehead is just ugly or decent lmao
@@jedithekitten8891 I have a big forehead too.

@@everything5066 what about oval faces eith large forehead
@@golovinpress6492 ew what? Bitch
Too bad you can't go to a surgeon to fix that attitude. You can have a slightly forehead which still suits the face if everything else is in harmony. Meanwhile you are sitting here thinking that you have some magnetic looks which makes everyone cream their pants. Get a mirror and take a good look at your miserable self.
You should also do a video on how eyebrows can either make you look extremely useful, or extremely age, for example eyebrows being too light versus dark her eyebrows, then plucked eyebrows versus heavy bushy eyebrows, I Brows that are too high arched can actually age the face and eyebrows that don’t have a good shape can drop the face and make it look aged as well
Mine are too light :')
Brows depend so much on bone structure. If you have huge bones in your face then thin, plucked eyebrows wont compliment you. If you have delicate small bones bushy brows wont fit you.
I love how nina dobrev is a perfect example of eyebrows. The eyebrows she has now (thick and natural) age her so much its unbelievable. She is still attractive and they are surely easier to maintain.
Nonetheless I honestly think that now she is pretty with thin eyebrows she is striking! Power of brows
@@TheRikkuShak That's probably because her eye features are strong and deep-seated, I find that deep seated eyes makes a person older somehow and they are better paired with decent thin ones to balance it out
snake on drugs I agree, but it also it depends on how full your face is. I have delicate bone structure myself but my face is wide and soft so I can’t make my eyebrows too thin otherwise it’ll make me look puffy.
Hmm a flat nose bridge is a sign of neoteny which could be seen as attractive? Filipinos need to hear this because we’re always bashing ourselves for having flat nose bridges lol.
I'm happy to hear that honestly. So so happy 😂😂♥️
I also have a flat nose and I'm African! I'm the only sibling out of 7, but I think it's cute🤷🏾♀️
What?? This is so cute why would you hate it? It is so unfair how people always 'belittle' their own beautiful features. I love how all eastern asians look I just cant when I hear you don't like your features haha
But I am the same, women from the Balkans often have strong features (for me it's my jaw and it's not even that masculine) and I HATE it. Although I have seen so many models with strong jaws in recent years 🙏
I’m Filipino and because of my microscopic nose, I look like an infant lol.
Jon Bartolo aww lol that sounds cute though

Do Elizabeth olsen and Benedict cumberbatch they both are weird looking but I find them attractive I can't tell you why
esrat al ishika they ooze charisma, I have such a huge crush on Benedict Cumberbatch!
I would love to know why Cumberbatch is such a polarizing face! Everyone either seems to think him stunning or really ugly.
With celebrities it has more to do with you are so used to seeing their faces and other people like them. Popularity and likeability amongst a large group of people definitely changes how attractive someone can be to people.
Elizabeth Olsen is not weird looking lol. She is pretty standart beautuful. Cumberbatch on the other hand - I think big part of his attractiveness is that he is tall and coz he become famous for role (Sherlock) that is very dominant and powerfull and independant. + his non reactive face. He looks very calm and comfortable in his own skin - all that are traits of masciline strong man comabined with the body of a clasical english gentelman. Tall but not too tall, lean but not skinny, dominant but not threatening. Other example of that is the guy who played doctor House. Im sure a lot of women find him very attractive after they watched the show. (if they have never seen him being silly in the comedies he acted before)

I once read a little excerpt about how masculine male + feminine female pairings, make for unattractive daughters. So I suppose its implying feminine male + feminine female = attractive daughters (on average)? Id be curious if you could expand more upon this, I swear there was a research paper but I don't remember where I read this tbh. I should say that I'm curious if its the same for sons as well, depending on the pairing. Also this might be steering into more genetics territory but Id be curious to know you can find any info about which features are more heritable. I've heard certain features from the father are more likely to be passed on, and certain features of the mother. (cheekbones, eye area/shape, lip size, etc)
Wow great question actually
It's probably feminist BS, because they're trying to make men as pussified and simpified as possible. They want to breed as many feminine men as they can.
Masculine men make beautiful daughters as much as pretty boys do and it also just depends on what you consider beautiful.
I personally like women with strong square jawlines and consider them the most beautiful if everything else is on point, but some men don't.
@@Longlostpuss what's feminists got to do with this? They can interpret it wrong but I still can't understand why they would prefer more feminine looking males over masculine looking. If I wanted to fuck a girl - I'd choose a girl, not a pretty boy.

@@Longlostpuss I reassure you it wasn't feminist BS lmao. I don't browse those type of sites whatsoever. It was a research paper which had no affiliation to that sort of thing.

I just love this channel. I don’t know why but looking at beauty and attractiveness from a science perspective is fascinating and refreshing to me.
these are so interesting, I have always had a baby face (I guess now I can start regarding it as neotenus) and noticed people always rushing to help me out in situations where I never asked for help. I once asked someone why they are doing this after noticing it time and time again and they responded "You looked like you were struggling" which I found highly reflective on what people must assume when they look at my face. Even a beard doesn't help.
Anyway this whole channel is really great and I applaud all the research you are putting into this!
Would you consider doing a video about "Kibbe" body types? It would be very interesting.
That's a great idea!
Could you talk about the height of foreheads? Especially in females
yess, I want it too
Would be helpful.I mean,a large forehead can mean youthfullness and in any case can be covered by bangs but what happens when you have a really small forehead and a tendency to a pearshaped face shape?
Michael vsauce made a video about it it's called what make things cute and while analyzing stuff he said that bigger foreheads are attractive on females and cute since its what babies look like

Hope you do one on lips and talk about the effects of both genders, and how modern lips trends sometimes breaks the golden mask ratio but we still consider it attractive.
!!!
Can you do a video about androgynous models? I've always wondered about the features that can kind of shift our ideas if the gender of a face.
Bit late to comment this lol
But as someone who looks more androgynous face-wise, I would say it's just a mix of masculine and feminine features, as well as hair. I'm East-Asian so that probably helps since the lines between feminine and masculine blur a bit more for my race.
My more feminine features would be: a softer jawline, full lips, and smaller but still prominent nose
Masculine features: eyes (narrow flat monolids), thicker brows, short hair
I think it's good to delve into what women find attractive for other women. I think women prefer masculine features on other women, which is why female beauty standards lean more masculine (such as stronger jawlines, longer faces, smaller foreheads, slimmer body frames devoid of most curves, etc) when women are comparing themselves to each other while female beauty standards for men lean more feminine (everything you've explained in these videos) which could explain why most women are unhappy with themselves since they are trying to fit into more masculine ideal? It's food for thought.
What I’ve seen is that men tend to be open minded towards women’s appearances for the most part whether they know it or not they end up finding thin and curvy, short and tall women attractive. As long as a woman fits basic beauty standards men will find her good looking lol. I think women are unhappy bc society convinces us that we wouldn’t be enough eitherways. Im thin and tall and feel insecure about my body but my short and curvy friends feel insecure about their body types too, and of course social media has made us compare ourselves to fake unattainable standards.
@@tanishapandey400 It's not "Society" that's made you feel the way that you do: other women have made you feel that way. Women start all of the beauty trends, not men, so you should direct your attention towards the people starting, and perpetuating, these ridiculous standards. Women are also just more likely to feel insecure because women naturally compare themselves to other women, so they will pick up on which woman gets the most attention and compare themselves to her.
I remember reading that it was the opposite at least for straight women. Straight Women tends to prefer more feminine features on women because of projection. Those feminine traits can effect what makes somewhere pass as a women or not, so it's just assumed the more feminine traits the more 'womanly' a woman is if that makes sense. I can't remember where I read it though
@@amandasmith4089 But if that were the case then why do Instagram models and models in general, who look more masculine, have such a large female following and admiration? Most of these instagram models are famous because of other women, and where most of the beauty trends come from, while men tend to go for the more feminine-looking instagram models.

I has an older looking face. Like when i entered college, they thought i was a senior and ready to graduate. But now, my face just stays the same or is even younger looking than my peers. And i find much older guys find me attractive
Hà Vương opposite thing happened to me in high school, I was a senior and someone asked me if I was a freshman 😂
I’m 16 and have always had a much more mature face. People think I’m 19. And it sucks. This video shows why lmao. Hopefully my face stops friggin aging so much jeez
Hà Vương Yup I know several young girl that have a mature face by age 11, with a strong bones structure that makes them often unappealing to boys their age. But very appealing to older dudes.
When this young girls, grows into lady, they never again age, like they look 25 forever. When your sharp jaws and chin hold your skin well tucked and tight, it no longer moves.
Me I have rounder traits, and I used to look super puffy when I was younger. Now that Im 25, ive lost some of my cheeks and my face is elongated cuz im 6ft tall, and if i was white, no doubt I’d have a droopy face. But because Im black and when I look at my parents and grandma, I can see our skin itself stays very thick and firm and don’t collapse. Thank god, cause I don’t have any sharp bones in my face to hold it all together

Society also pushes the idea that the closer to white that you are, the more attractive you are. Society has a lot to do with beauty standards.
OneAndOnly Fiqri Most cultures have a white standard of beauty because of colonization.
Which is strange .. I am white, coming from the middle of Europe. I love how middle eastern women look, I love eastern asian women, i LOVE especially east african women (I am in awe with Ethiopian women)
The women I personally like the least are white blondes. I don't mean to be rude at all to anyone. Scandinavian women can be freaking beautiful holy hell, but it's just what I personally like the least :)
I grew up in Europe and I always heard darker skin being praised. As someone who looks like a corpse color-wise (and has been told so, repeatedly, to my face), I can definitely attest that beauty standards vary a lot even if they tend to relate strongly to the upper class.
That is to say, when rich people stayed inside and pale, versus now, when they go tan all-year round.
Anyways, sorry for the saga I just wrote, but basically, you can't just say that the beauty stendard is white because of colonisation, there are other factors to it.
Although the colonizers made themselves be the upper class in the countries they conquered, so, by my own logic, they became the ideal to emulate...
Thaïs Wei Just because you hear darker skin is praised doesn’t mean white is not the standard of beauty. Look at the advertisements around you, look at the media and what they promote, just type “beautiful woman” on google images and you can see that they push the narrative that white is the only kind of beauty. And no, one model of color in a sea of white models is not diversity and still means the white standard of beauty is alive and well. Also when a white woman is tanned it is praised, when a woman of color has a natural tan they are still looked as less beautiful by society. Also, having “dark skin” is not the only issue, it is also having features like your nose, or hair that deviates from white features (like having extremely curly hair and bigger noses). Yes, some societies do have a culture where the rich people would sit at home and therefore have lighter skin, but again skin tone is not the only issue, it is also our features that deviate from the white norm. Colonization had a lot to do with it because beauty=power and in order to exert yourself as most powerful you would exert yourself as most beautiful.
I think having youthful features is good for men too, because it doesn't matter how longer their fertility lasts, i don't think a 60 years old has the same attractiveness as a 20 years old. In our youth we are stronger, healthier and more beautiful, and these are important things for both men and women
This is probably why the selfie angle from above works so well for most girls - it distorts the face to make it more top heavy
this is such a detailed account and most importantly you cite so many sources which is almost unseen here on youtube, HUGE props to you!!
is this why old men seem to be more attracted to me then my male classmates 😐
I have never been this excited about learning something so props to you!
I'm always impatient for what you're doing next. Keep up the good work :) stay healthy all of you!
I mostly can't retain some of the terms you usually use but your voice is soothing and your work is intriguing
Hello , I’m from China. English is not my first language, sorry if I had any grammar problems. The black and white Chinese girl profile picture you used in this video, she was a famous internet catfish back in 2012 (I guess)Loll to me she should be Inst VS reality video too.
what's the chinese girl's name?
Yeah her eyes look artificially big lol
This is so interesting. It is crazy how much I learn from your videos. Thank you for all the research you put behind your videos.
i've always been attracted to baby faced women and I didnt know why. Even as a teen, I like baby faced girls. My first girlfriend had a baby face with chubby cheeks lol. Now as an adult, I still prefer neotenous looking women.
yeah, Because they are more beautiful, in both genders. A baby face looks full of life
Your videos are so asthetically pleasing!!!
Under eye bags makes one like 10x older looking
Damn, i gotta pack up and leave then ahhahaah
depends on the eyebags, some babies are born with eyebags called tear troughs and i don't think they make you look older personally. But then again big saggy eye pouches under the eye will def make you look older.
My parents have no eyebags.I worked night shift some times without sleep but I never got any bags under my eyes I only get dark circles
@@meritahrustanovic2359 keep 2 spoons in the fridge, and every morning hold cold spoons on your eyes for a few minutes. It helped me.
It depends, Koreans are super into having a puffy undereye area because it makes them look youthful, you can look into "aegyo-sal" and see how eyebags can make you look younger
jus here wishing i was a peacock
Honestly at least I can find out why I’m unattractive. I love closure! I love this series!
Attractive people transfer superior material genetic to their offspring.
Which make them a little more immune to disease, and pre-dispositions.
It is completely reasonable from a biological standpoint for humans to select attractive people. Or attractiveness have a huge impact in such selection.
Unfortunately we are subject to lifestyles which go further from what could produce great offspring. Some examples are:
-having kids late;
-not breastfeeding long enough or at all;
-not having hard nor nutrient dense foods;
-consuming too many/much drugs and sugar;
-breathing through mouth;
-not exercising enough or at all;
-not sleeping enough;
Believe me. Over time, this will have a huge impact not only in your appearance, but in your genetics as well.
Perfect.
You have a point.
Yes! Breastfeeding really does have an effect because the babies have to use more jaw muscles. ALSO Breastfeeding in general is so much better for EVERYONE. Immune system, intelligence, dietary, and the list goes on for ever.
I love your series so much, I've binged them all. NOW, THIS IS A VIDEO ESSAY. The editing on your videos are insane, just howwwww.
When you're Asian and people think you're just a slightly taller kid...
@Selena Filipinos, old? They are, for me, the most beautiful mixed people from Asian, one of, I would say. They look... Adult, not child, like obsessive as Korea and China, are.
Selena It really depends. Most Filipinos have mixed blood (like me, I look East Asian rather than Southeast Asian) and the most of the pure ones are the ones from the tribes. There’s a range of features for Filipinos.
@Katlyn old for there age? But Koreans and Chinese look young? Like are you basing this off of those in East Asian countries that get surgery verses the Filipinos who are natural? Cause I don’t understand what you mean. First off all Filipinos are mixed so they don’t look a certain way. Second off, 1/3 of Korean women get surgery while in then Philippines that’s just rare to get surgery. And finally, what??
@@aby1061 Filipinos are not considered mixed blood.
@@missbrookes1143 Filipino look different from east asian because they're southeast asian like thai, indonesians and cambodians, it's not because they're mixed. The vast majority of filipinos are malay and aren't mixed.
Love how this chanel used to teach me about instagram
I saw Angelina, i clicked
I read a lot about neotony faces it's really interesting. Many research papers are available on internet. You guys should look it up 😊. Some research papers call this "babyfaceness" too. It's interesting to see people with these facial features are also perceived as more innocent, nicer and thrust worthy than other people. That's why cartoon characters usually have those features too (but very emphasize).
If someone has a round face and childlike features, I highly suggest you to read these articles. I have almost all these facial features and it has helped me like my face more. (It has also explained why people treat me as if I was a teen even though I'm 24 lol or why people always call me cute or sweet (I hate it haha).)
I would really love to see a similar analysis done on : Barbara Palvin , Scarlett Leithold, Taylor Hill .
Jolie has basically all features you so far discussed as beautiful. Lucky she. I think even her lips are the least important, yet she started this trend to put filler into lips, even though she has natural ones. Women want to have her lips hoping to become symbols of beauty and attractiveness, while they could not be more wrong. Usually they destroy face proportions putting fillers and that makes them less attractive.
Exactly. I have a face structure like her, don't like that much, intimidates men, but I don't have her eyes, that is really what makes people attracted to her, with all the features we discuss here. I am glad that I go slim, and my lips also go slim, I didn't like them that puffy, to be honest.
Black women and their fuller lips influenced lip fillera
Miss Ellaneous yes, but... you cannot deny that this boom to pump lips to extra size started when Angelina became the hottest name in Hollywood. even surgeons claimed women are asking particulary for Angelina's lips, yet her beauty in my opinion comes from completely different features than her famous lips.
One does not negate the other. 20 years ago big lips were popularized to a great extend by Angelina’s meteoric rise to fame. Over the last decade, Kim K has popularized big lips and body parts due to her obsession with African women’s features. To this day we continue to have women idolize both Angie’s beauty and wish to emulate it, just like we have women trying to achieve Asian or African features through surgery or fillers.

That’s because people like some features on white women, but not on other races.
Let’s be honest most White women would feel weird going to a surgeon and ask for black women like lips. So of course they’d choose a white woman with similar lips instead.
Most of these trends are adaptations of black beauty standards which are now seen as more acceptable. Because it’s not just black people doing it anymore.
could you do a video about voices and how they're related to attractiveness
Yes! this!! A person's voice give such an insight to their personality, it's incredible how voices represent a person's character but it's such a underrated topic.
@@nolimitarmani how does that make you look stupid
@@nolimitarmani not many people I know think a black person sounding "white" is stupid
These videos are so interesting!!😍 Binging your videos this quarantine!
do a vid on why kylie and bella look older! (i’m assuming cus they have so much angle to their face and high cheekbones and sunken in places)
I won't speak of bella as people say she got heavy plastic surgery but about Kylie, she has great makeup artists that make her look older. Sans makeup Kylie looks her real age.
Kyle don't look older when she doesn't have any makeup on
buccial fat removal in Bella's case for Kylie, it's genuely hard to tell
Hey, LIPS! I feel like you never talk about lips. For me it's something very important at making a face attractive or not and I feel like I'm not the only one that thinks this way. I would even go as far as saying that lips can "make or break" a face. Any plans on featuring lips as one of the future videos topics?
Never clicked a notification faster than this one !!!.. love this channel!❤🤩
I'm always confused about my face, do i have a baby face or not. I'm 21 now but literally only couple of people that i met throughout my life could guess my age. A lot of them were shocked with my age because they thought i was younger and the other half of people thought that i was older. I literally have no idea wtf i look like
I’ve also had a similar experience. It’s possible you may have like an equal mix of “mature” features with more neotenous ones. Like for example: my face looks baby faced because it’s short and wide plus I have a small mouth, but if you were to focus on my eyes they’re more “mature” because they’re hooded and my eyebrows sit very low. I also have a longer mid face despite having a short face.
@@vl2663Small mouth is not a baby face trait
Full lips are
"If you going to choose someone to 50 years, you'd want to choose someone that indicates they're going to age well". Sounds savage. Like you're going to choose a car or a house than a human being.
Ha ha! Good point! This kind of video, just like Hollywood, telling people who is more attractive. Does not mean this is the truth! Just like every tree, every bird, every bee, every human BEING is born beautiful. We are spiritual beings in physical bodies. We are all born as winners, very special winners-- each person beating multi-millions or billions of sperms to be the one! We look more beautiful if we cultivate the inner beauty. :) Some people are seen as "more attractive" than others. This is socially programmed by media, elites, certain men in the society, such as Hollywood producers, advertising casting directors. With self love, one doesn't care what other "programmed" people think anymore.
@@tianyue5814 Thank you! You restore my faith in humanity :)
Different people, different criteria. You can't force everyone to like personality alone.
Truth hurts. Life isn't about sunshine and rainbows.
yeah it’s a disgusting mindset
Your videos are the only thing that keeps me going through this quarantine.
Very interesting information.
This was so interesting and well supported/cited!!
This is why Selena Gomez always kind of creeped me out. She has baby face to the extreme, her facial map is that of a ten year old. And she plays this up in her voice and gestures too. I'm not trying to fetish shame 'smalls' but she definitely puts off an adult/baby vibe. She barely pronounces her words and speaks in a higher register than is natural when on camera or in studio and much more.
Diane Miles yet I do not consider her as very beautiful. Too much neoteny in her face. she is cute, this is all
She doesn't speak in an unnatural higher register when she's on camera or in the studio. Her voice is deeper than the average female voice. Are your ears alright?
@Yusra Ilyas The jaws. The intimidating part are the jawline. I say this because I have the same features as her, even the lips, a little smaller, bu puffy as her, but my eyes are smaller =( So, a LOT of males have been intimidated by my face. it's traumatic if I have to say, being called by a lot of names), and I noticed only the weaker or uglier males called me that, but the confident males, tall like me.
@@nono6764 Yes, her voice is really interesting, she is a really different match haha.
@@nono6764 We're not comparing her to other women but to herself. She changes her voice to a higher pitch a lot of the time than her natural voice. But for some reason a lot of celebs do that. My most obvious example being Ariana Grande. IMO they're probs not aware they're doing it.
Ever since I’ve watched your videos I’ve been able to breakdown people’s facial features using the scientific terms...it’s interesting
What about mental neoteny? The hypothesis that our brains are becoming more neotenous to maintain their plasticity and adapt better to new environments translating into our physical features?
This is so well made! Please write all this down and publish it as empirical research papers! Many universities would benefit from your work.
@@golovinpress6492 And what makes you think that? Ever read an empirical research paper? They can be about any topic. And if it's well structured, why not? Someone will find it interesting.
I think Emilia Clarke as a side profile or just overall would be a good study. I find her face very harmonized and extremely beautiful.
As a lesbian I appreciate that you didnt just take the "because we want to breed!!!!" direction. I've never been able to relate to that but I can definitely understand and relate to being attracted to partners that look like they will be alive and healthy with you for a long time.
Lol
Please do this on Chris Evans,Chris Pratt & Henry Cavill
It is important to acknowledge that beauty standards are often tied to systemic racism and colorism, which can have a greater impact on women of color. Instead of simply telling women to have more confidence, we should work towards dismantling these harmful beauty standards and creating a more inclusive and diverse definition of beauty.
I like before I even watch! Loooove this series.
My Mum who is 72 and my older sister and I all have rounded button type noses. I do get told often enough that I don't look 46 despite no botox/fillers. I've always speculate that more softer features tend to age less harshly though this was just my own opinion/observation.
you look late 20's wow girl your beautiful
Excellent video. Your analysis is like nothing else on UA-cam. Please continue to do a lot more of these !
Our food intake is also a part in features
Thank you for adding the research to back up the images :)
I have a baby face because of my big eyes, v faced shape and idk I look very naive lol. I would like to have a little sharper face I find them way more attractive
Woah I did not know ppl find a little bit rounder foreheads attractive I always thought that made me ugly, I always wanted that flat tiny forehead
I hve shrper face i prefer rounder ones dt look more feminine😆
@@sunlight5106 I guess we all want what we don't have 😂😂😂
Omg I woke up and saw this! I clicked immediately! Love this series!
thanks for making these 🥰🥰🥰 haven’t even started the vid yet x
Idk if you guys noticed, but all of Angie’s features are “full”, including her lips, cheek, and nose. Pre surgery, her nose was round and “bulbous”. I think she got her first rhinoplasty around 2000, and kept refining it. Because her nose is so narrow and defined now, consequently, her lips and cheeks stand out.
I’m sure her jaw is natural.
She is beautiful!
She had double jaw surgery
*Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya, the way the statement was phrased (8:33) made it seem like Nairobi and Kenya were two different places
East Asians (and SE Asians) have the highest neoteny traits (not just facial) in its population.
You have no clue for how long I was searching for this, lol, and as always outstanding
yess i’v been waiting for Angelina.
