Butterflies arnt pests. Your house doesn't get infested by butterflies. Same with rats. They reproduce very quickly having up to 84 offspring a year. And those 84 can have 84. Squirrels can only have up to 8 offspring a year.
@@porygon361 I more meant homes but you do have a point. However I wouldn't look at farmers as evil. I'm not a farmer but I do garden. The biggest thing is promoting a healthy ecosystem. I had a problem with zucchini bugs. So I promoted spiders to live in my plants and moved any I found to my zucchini plants. I even had some brown recluse in them but I knew where their nest was and didn't destroy or bother it.
SO MUCH THIS It's at the point where I now have this quiet undercurrent of social paranoia constantly running in the background whenever I'm trying to just enjoy a genuinely engaging conversation with a new acquaintance. So many experiences of getting accused of flirting or leading someone on when I had personally just thought we were nicely getting along have freaking made me straight-up neurotic.
“Don’t you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty. You wouldn’t marry a girl just because she’s pretty. But my goodness doesn’t it help?”
I literally think about this ALL the time, squirrels pretty much own my garden and I'm confused at how I think they're so cute and can watch them without a care in the world but know if it was the non-bushy tailed cousin out there I'd be moving home.
@@meridaskywalker7816 Yes. Bubonic plague spread by rats (really by the ticks that live on rats) killed tens of millions of people over the centuries. No other small mammal has a record like that.
yeah pretty but not beautiful . beautiful women have to struggle to make real friends bc everyone wants something from them or they want to be them. why are most beautiful women alone? bc everyone is jealous of them . its a reality people uglier want to pretend that's not real bc they will never live in that reality, so they minimize it by saying aww its hard to b pretty wahhh. but yeah it is. women will never be nice to them genuinely
it’s real but i would argue not in the way people often think it is. just bc you’re ‘pretty’ doesn’t mean everything is handed to you. my mum was and still is very beautiful but it hasn’t made her life any easier. if anything it’s made it harder, with harassment from men and jealousy from women. there’s a certain type of ‘pretty’ which attracts this sort of privilege, and imo it goes hand and hand with over confidence and entitlement
@@christina8866 Not sure it's OVER confidence and entitlement, though I understand seeing it that way. At a guess, your mother is not just beautiful but also nice, kind and generally considerate. Unfortunately men are very base creatures, unless they get a clear "not a chance in hell" signal they think there's a chance. More unfortunate, many men consider basic decency and acknowledgement that they're human as a sign they have a chance, which leads to harassment or, if the guy is a little off, worse. Then, it's the entitlement of other women that leads to contending with jealousy. This also being generally considerate is a disadvantage as they don't establish themselves as the alpha in a sense. A beautiful woman who is not (openly) generally considerate and compassionate gives this signal of "nothing fazes me so just get out of my way." There's still the jealousy, of course, but they don't have to deal with it so much openly.
I think prior to the Internet how we defined tall or successful or pretty was relative to those around us and a few celebrities. Now we are exposed to a larger population who can also use technology to alter their appearance online to things that are not even physically possible. I think this has caused some people to have unreasonable standards because they are seeing what they want more than it actually exists in the real world.
Hahaha that redhead got me chuckling. According to her, as a man, you have to: 1. Be tall 2. Shower And you earn respect. It's absolutely laughable to think that somebody actually believes that.
Bro fr, I'd even argue that an average woman gets more attention than an average looking man. I mean, women are more picky than men, so most men don't meet the cut. But so many men are willing to give average looking women a chance. So it's ridiculous to see people complain as women. Ofc of your very unattractive, people treat you very poorly, especially as women. But if you're average or better, you'd get way more attention than the average man
@@chrissolognier8221 true, most women don’t even have a hint of how hard it is for men. Reminds me of the UA-camr that took over her male friends tinder account stating “getting dates for you is going to be easy cause you’re beautiful” (spoiler it wasn’t) but then started resenting women for rejecting her advances nonetheless 😂
For real, I'm 6'1" and I don't get any women interested in me just because of my height, and, from what I can tell, I'm not very attractive even though I try my best. To be attractive, there is a LOT men have to do that that woman just doesn't seem to see. I bust my ass every morning in the gym, 6 days a week and eat a very healthy diet just so I can maintain a healthy and fit body. It's all about the luck of the draw, make the best with the cards you're dealt or shut up, thats all there is and you have to accept some have it easier than others.
@@serv4619 unless there’s something wrong with your face or you live in the Netherlands, I really doubt that. I’m 6’2, take care of myself, gym etc and can see the difference in how I’m treated when I speak, walk around etc.
@@themarathoncontinues4211 it's also more of a personality thing as I'm probably not as confident as I could be, however my point was more that it takes more than just being tall. Being tall is great don't get me wrong, but I don't think it's the "instant-win" card people make it out to be.
The girls who were less physically attractive to the majority of their peers in school, were bullied more. It was so horrible to see, because these girls were pretty, they just weren’t to the beauty standard, and they actually were kinder than all the more “pretty” girls were during high school. The “pretty” girls bullied the girls who were less “pretty” and it was so mean of them. They were told so many harsh things like to take their own life, ect. It was disgusting. And then, in society, men who are less attractive to beauty standards held to men, are less dateable/ given less chances by women to date. I met my husband on a dating app, and I put all my worries about attractiveness aside, and wanted to genuinely get to know him. He was attractive in person (at the time not to the standard of western society- he comes from India- and women tend to avoid men wearing turbans or head coverings in white Australian culture) , and slowly his confidence built because I was seeing him for who he is, not who he is based on preconceived judgements, biases, and internalised racism within the culture I’d grown up in. He is the most handsome, loyal, kind, and respectful man I’ve ever been with, and I married him because of his inner qualities. Not many women gave him the chance in the past because of the way he dressed and their own cultural biases. He also is quite short for a guy, so a lot of women prefer taller men. I didn’t let any of these things get in the way, and now we have a multi cultured relationship. He didn’t have pretty privilege in my society, and even in his society back home. I was his first relationship, and I see the struggles of my brother in law with dating too. He feels that most women discriminate against him because he wears a turban. He’s so attractive, funny, unique, ect, but it’s difficult for him to find a loyal connection.
@@ellacreed9302 pretty girls bully less attractive girls not because of jealousy in most cases but because they have a superiority complex and they look down upon them. Bullies come in all types of people.
@@HR-pc7hu idk what pretty girls you've been around but most unattractive bigger girls are rude as hell to pretty girls and that's because they are 100% jealous and hold a complex.
Pretty privilege as a guy is a trip. Especially as a gay man. Straight men glare at me for the attention women give me. And people just assume im hitting on them because im being nice. Makes one anti-social
those women are superficial. I'm a woman btw. I don't bother giving a guy attention just because he's nice to look at unless he's attractive personality. Also, it is unfair for the guys to hate you out of jealousy and not anything you did. I can relate.
omg i clicked on this bc of the interesting title and i watched it till the end totally expecting this video to have thousands of views, your videos deserve a lot more recognition! this is so interesting
I agree! You are very well spoken and have some very level headed takes. Also there's a book by economist Daniel Hammermesh called "Beauty Pays" that goes into beauty and economic outcomes.
Experiencing pretty privilege as a guy is kind of weird... people definitely treat you different because of how you look. It's nice to get free things and be treated well, but there is also the side of dealing with people who are weirdos around you based on how you look, and other people who are hostile towards you because of how you look. While the attention is nice, I also found that people were a lot more fake around me, and I got sick of all the negativity based on how I look. Also... dating was weird because people expect you to act based on their preconceived notions of you, so I'd date girls who were disappointed that I wasn't an absolutely Chad, or get denied for dates because girls thought I was just going to be a Chad and play them. Stopping working out and coming into my dad bod just made life easier overall. I do miss the attention, but I'd argue that the quality of my life is better now.
Wow…I just got in shape 2 years ago and the same thing started happening to me. Especially the dating part. I’ll never go back to being out of shape but being thought of as a douche bag straight out the gate is so frustrating
@@Crazyhead432 Same here, i only started dating in my early 30ish 10 years ago, never happend before i got in great shape and now im in Chad teritory haha and its just so wierd. But tbh even the mindset and mental healt of us change so need to keep that in mind

You are a breath of fresh air for a youtuber. So much toxicity being spewed while calling it acceptance, or "reality" by people with a camera, when your demeanor is pleasant, and your dissection of these subjects feels very non biased
I was not considered attractive during my teen years so I didn't take dating seriously as a result as my experience. Not that I didn't have relationships since then but I live my life being friendly to people, taking care of myself and having a career. Being good looking helps but I also see how people get spoiled by looking good and crash hard as they get older when they don't invest in themselves.
“But that’s some time ago, i propose to you any disease a rat could spread a squirrel could equally carry.” “Yet I assume you don’t share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats?” -hans landa
True but all our common farm animals that we have no problem living around like pigs, chickens and cows have also spread multiple diseases to humans and we still treat them nicely unlike rats
Not gonna lie that squirrel thing is accurate. I live in a college town, and the squirrels walk around like they own the place with 0 fear of humans. I kinda want to just punt one of them to the moon to show them who’s boss 😂
i agree with everything except for the "women do makeup for men" idk i actually in my experience found the opposite to be true, i loved doing makeup and experimenting with what looked good on me, and hated the attention i got from it especially from men
It's true about pretty privilege, like when I tell people I am depressed and struggling with depression 90% will say oh you are too pretty to be depressed like being pretty has anything to do with suffering depression....and looks have nothing to do with ones mental and emotional health....ps love your videos
@TN how did it make your life easier? Audi you sound already privileged being able to attend a boarding school. Many pretty women are in economically disadvantaged situations abs have no opportunity to utilize pretty privilege.
Sure it makes your overall life easier, but I ask, are you able to form deep bond with people? Do they look past your looks at some point? Or are you always the object of pride and show off? T least that’s my experience for me
This is so interesting. The sad thing for me was I never had as much male attention as the time I was suffering with anorexia. I was thin but felt ill, exhausted, depressed and my periods stopped, but men where literally falling over themselves to ask me for a date. Never happened once I got back to a healthy weight or slightly above .
That is really twisted. You're stronger for overcoming that. I'd vager part of it is men finding physically weaker women attractive and it kinda speaks of an insecurity in them. I, as a bi woman find healthy women with weight in "all the right places" the most attractive.
yes, horses were very important to the Western civilization evolving in so many ways, it's not just about their looks, horses were very useful. Yes cows are useful too but you can't really ride them to war etc.
the height thing is just crazy. its even crazier when you come from a ethnic group that is not tall on average because they come from extremely high altitudes that causes the short stature and they are lot of ethnic groups that are like this
On pretty privilege for animals: if it's not cute, we don't care. That's true. But if it's cute and DELICIOUS, then being cute won't save it's life. Dogs are cute, useful, affectionate and good companions. So it doesn't occur to us to try to eat them unless there is no other appealing meat available. But pigs are 5s on the cuteness scale, they eat everything (including us, given the chance), they swim in muck and are extremely delicious. Their deliciousness is why we farm them and their subjective cuteness is irrelevant. And I say that as a fan of Charlotte's web. Squirrels are members of the animal 1%. Cute/cool (e.g. Eagles) and mostly unappealing as food. That gets you free food and nobody trying to shoot you. Life isn't fair.
As somebody who has been enjoying your channel and just started watching your videos I actually want to make a comment that you just made me laugh in a good way and I appreciate it.... As a former dog trainer and no longer doing the work all I could think was the difference between a protection dog and what it would look like to have a protection trained pig.... You just made me die laughing in my work truck and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because that was awesome... A protection trained pig my god that's a truly horrifying idea right there ...lmao... That just earned my subscription
In terms of the tallness being a mans beauty standard. I completely agree. I am a short guy at 5'3" and while not super model level of hot I believe I am decently attractive and fairly smart (again not a genius but i'm not an idiot either) and now working towards being in better physical shape. I won't lie though it has been tough in the dating scene as a lot of women are looking for a taller man (can't blame them it's what they're attracted to and partially biology) and I do get downcast quite often for not meeting that height requirement. Pretty sure there isn't anything I can do about it and I just have to find a woman that doesn't care about height as much. Just wanted to add my 2 cents
It's like having small boobs. Most men don't like them, but will insist they'd TOTALLY give a woman with small boobs a chance, when really they're just desperate for sex and to no be alone for once. But to most men small boobs = child. Most men who like small boobs are weird. Most men who like big boobs will only look past boob size if you make up for it in ass or have a pretty enough face. Being pretty in the face with a curvy figure is something I'll never have. So men will never consider me hot. At least all you have to worry about is one factor you can't control.
@@madisoncrum9212 I see your point and I can't imagine the struggle. However, it might do you well to find a change in perspective. Personally, I like all types of boobs, most of the girls i've dated up until now have small-med sized boobs. But regardless of that, you can't let that define you. You have to find a guy that likes you for you (and statistically you will) and that includes all of you, perks and flaws. All the best
Forget pretty privilege. Even prejudice prevents people from taking a person's message as is and interpreting it. Depending on the messenger, it's received well or poorly
Being seen as attractive is beneficial in most areas of life, but there are definitely some situations where it can do more harm than good. I'm a woman who is generally considered attractive by the majority of people, primarily because I fit the beauty standards of my culture. I'm also a student in STEM, and the mistreatment is rampant. Professors tend to dislike me and grade me much more harshly than other women, and I frequently don't get taken seriously. It's a very real issue for me and greatly adversely affects my life. Issues can also be seen in hiring practices. Everytime I'm interviewed by a man, I get the job. Conversely, I've NEVER been hired by a female interviewer. So I guess whether or not being attractive is wholly advantageous really depends on the kind of lifestyle you have and your personal goals. If you want free drinks and lots of followers on social media, then sure, being an attractive woman is great. If you want to be respected and taken seriously in any kind of intellectual profession, you're shit out of luck.
@@alexforce9 that sucks am in the stem field aswell currently doing masters in theoretical physics and am a very girly woman ...I love make up, dressing up and am attractive ...however because of the field am in I dress down a lot- when I have to meet with my supervisor or collegues. However I don't enjoy my representation because it's not how i want to look but I do it either way.
Gurl you reminded me how animalistic we are. Becuase knowing that we are just animals actually explains a lot of stuff. Becuase it explains attraction and other stuff.
One of your videos popped up on my youtube recommends and I'm so glad. The topics you talk about aren't what id say are the most calming but I love listening to these kind of opinion videos of current events or social issues but the sound of your voice is so lovely and you've got the perfect pace (ie not too fast or too slow) I think it makes your videos feel very relaxing. Again I'm very happy UA-cam popped your video up on my recommends
I saw your video in recommendation I clicked and within seconds, just after seeing you and feeling your vibe, I immediately liked and subscribed, so maybe pretty privilege is real :D but for real, I had many beautiful girl friends, and I often witness how easier their life is just by being more conventionally attractive to men. But for all the free drinks, all the opportunities and gifts, they still had unhappy love life or struggles with self image or self love, while also of course everyone have their issues and on top of that you need to know how to protect yourself and deal with a load of unwanted constant attention from men. So I never envy them as I am not interested in men anyways
Thank you so much! I really like your perspective and it's the healthiest one to have. We should never envy anyone because we only see glimpses of their lives.😊
Being a non-shallow person that looks for deep connections and doesn't value people on the way the look (or at least I give only a small relevance to that) I struggle to accept how society is. It seems we still value appearance so much, especially when you are a woman, and that creates even more pressure and insecurities. For example, when I feel insecure, I tend to compare my beauty to other girls' beauty and even though I see myself as pretty, I then feel like if I am not beautiful enough. This shouldn't be that relevant for my self-esteem BUT it is because of society... If you have any suggestions, please tell me what I can do about it :)
Well, you can realize that you may not be as pretty as other girls lol. The problem is not your insecurities - they just may be truths. The real problem is - why you have the need to be pretty. You say you are not a shallow person, but you place your looks on a high importance. That's not society. That's you. So ask yourself - what being attractive gives you, or may give you that you want? Is it attention? Validation? Love? Why you feel the need to be attractive? The truth is - pretty privilege is real, and it affects people lives all the time. So if you want to be pretty - its just the privilege that you want. And ITS OK TO WANT THAT! Its natural. Who will refuse to get more of the good stuff. But you cant outjump what you have. So to feel insecure is pointless. Just do what you can to enhance what you have. Make up, skin care, enough sleep, vitamins ect. But beyond that - no reason to think too much about it. If you did everything you can in that department, its time to work on the other part of you - like personality lol. Coz there are other privileges' too. Like smart privileges, and charming privilege and sense of humor privilege ect. :)
@@alexforce9 I don't know why I feel the need to be quite attractive, I guess that as women we tend to compare each other a lot more than men. But it's society that make us believe that the best trait we can have is being attractive. Look around you, most examples in media tell women that if they're beautiful and get attention, then they're worthy. And I want to get rid of that, I want to feel confident for my intelligence, kindness etc. and only later, by my appearance.
@@merlokiii Again, worthy of what? Whats the end goal here? What attractive women get that you want? Admiration? Attention? Validation? You are fast to blame society without looking inside yourself. If that how you look at yourself, than this is how you look at other women too. You judge them on are they worthy or not based on their looks. Thats you. You are the society.
Appreciating beauty doesn't make us shallow, it's a normal part of human nature, that's why you stop and look at the sunset. Stop lying to yourself you're not special
11:32 YAS! I've experienced both, lol. Also, I feel like if I go about wearing no makeup, I look pretty average. However, if I wear make up (not even that much, just wearing what I know suits me after years of experimenting), beautiful clothes, my hair done exactly the way I like it, etc, I look heavenly 😆 It's not always about "being blessed" with a pretty face, but rather experimenting and getting to know what looks good on you and what doesn't. I must say love your take on things. Yes, this is how we humans are, and my "fight the system" phase has passed. Right now I prefer to sit back, relax, take advantage of the game and let the newest generations fight those fights.
I'm really happy to see someone talking about pretty privilege. I've heard commentary on every other possible form of privilege except this one and its been bothering for some time now.
I love how you're articulate & really knowledgeable about your topics, enjoy your work. And you're very pretty & love your voice just thought should say it.
"what's the difference between dogs and pigs?" Oh god that hurt to hear😂😭 My best answer is that we bred dogs to help us, same with horses compared to cows. It's not just the aesthetic (probably part of it tho). Dogs were bred as not only companions, but helpers and workers, such as for herding, hunting, search/rescue, ect. - pigs don't really do these things, so they were most useful for meat. Horses were used as transportation, could pull/carry heavy loads, and were used in war - I don't believe cows did these things (maybe ox for pulling carts, but not so much riding/battle). So by extension, it was more worth keeping dogs/horses around compared to killing and eating them, and I think it's become engrained in us as a result since it went on for so long (I am fully aware this was not the point of the video but I absolutely had to say it so here you go ig, hope y'all enjoyed the tangent😂😂😂)
@@sw3783 Yes, but taboos and standards are usually stemmed in some kind of reason. I think that it was frowned upon in the past because it was objectively better to keep dogs/horses around than to eat them - because it was frowned on for so long, it became a taboo. Things don't happen just because - there's always a reason for why we do things a certain way (whether or not someone likes the reason is an entirely separate discussion, but it doesn't change whether or not the reason exists)
don't want to be cringe (but I will lol) - you are stunning. Talk about pretty privilege. I think that's also one of the reason your content is growing so fast. I don't mean to be reductive when I say this. You are great! Again, great content, great perspective. I don't agree with everything you say, but you are well intentioned and I believe you are right on a lot of your interpretations.
She said "just" because that's "just" the only criteria that men have to fill in order to be attractive. Not "just" as in it's easy for a individual man to make himself tall.
My dad told me about this actually! He went on a health journey and shed weight. Said people treated him noticeably much better and he got more attention from women, etc. What makes it worse is that tik toks algorithm will push down videos of creators it thinks are not “attractive”. I dont ever scroll or use tiktok so i cant personally confirm or deny this but it would make a lot of sense since it was known as the dance app basically for a while.
My fiancé had a weight lose over a 100 pounds and she always says how now she gets so many more compliments when going out. She said it would rarely to ever happen before but now it happens almost ever time she goes out.
Lol at this point of time, It doesn't really matter anymore. I've had both phases, in school I was unkempt and little unattractive, didn't care much about physical appearance. People used to treat me differently. And then in college, I started to care about my appearance, people started to get attracted to me and trust me when I say this, I hate the attention and harassment I feel from people. Both phases were hell. Now I'm better than before in looks, all people comment on my looks. It's like there's no compliment left for them to say it to me. They comment on how I lost weight, how beautiful my outfit is, how my skin looks, how my hair looks etc etc. I want to vent now, there are multiple incidents I'd like to share. I'm pretty much of a kind person, I help out but people sometimes take it as hint which I really just despise. Another is insecure and jealous people saying hurtful stuff. It doesn't matter wheather you're unattractive or attractive. Awful nature of humans doesn't discriminate. My conclusion is, both phases are hell with their own unique cons. No two phases are superior to another.
@@mrcvon oh I thought you were talking in general because if your partner is hiding the fact that they're with you then that's a red flag. There are a lot of female and male youtubers who declare they're in a relationship it's actually not that uncommon, some even include their significant other in their videos.
Just came across your channel by chance and have watched only a couple of your videos so far and I echo others comments: You have such a refreshing, down to earth take on everything, and I hope your audience continues to grow!
And as a side note, I have a pet Instagram account that has accumulated a notable amount of followers for absolutely no reason other than my fur babies being cute, and I’ve never felt like I deserved the attention. Thoughtful channels like yours deserve MUCH more of an audience 🙏
I definitely noticed pretty privilege is a thing. When I got sick and lost over 80 pounds in a couple months I suddenly got allot more positive attention from my family, friends, and strangers. Regardless of how I told them I lost it. It honestly just made my health worse. I’m now wondering if it’s better to just gain the weight back and be a background character again
The rat and squirrel example wasn't the best example. We abhor rats and set traps to kill them because we inherently and instinctively know and see them as signs of disease. Throughout human history and evolution, rats have been some of the greatest vectors for disease. We like dogs because we spent a good chunk of our evolutionary history with them as companions. Same thing with roaches, they are a sign that something is dirty and thus we also detest them.
@@sw3783 I'm not too sure where exactly you are trying to go with this. Never was it mentioned that humans don't eat rats and squirrels. There are many things humans can eat if they put their mind to it. What was said here is the general fear and disgust for certain animals that MOST of humanity have that give them an instinctual avoidance/rejection reaction to them the moment they see them. This does not mean that people can't eat them. It means that generally people avoid them or are disgusted by them. The greatest evolutionary advantage humans have over other species is our ingenuity to get around our disadvantages. Thus, it is not unlikely for some humans to develop a way to cook certain foods that would rather be harmful to them otherwise or develop ways to cook foods that would appear less than appetizing more appealing. Humans don't just eat squirrels and rats but even dogs. You might even find ppl who eat cats. Different humans have evolved different habits based on their historical circumstances. We are pretty good at adapting to things. Before hygienic knowledge, it wasn't as weird to eat rats. Especially since poverty was abundant. You have to think about the circumstances of the times things came about.
@@sw3783 As I said, I am not sure what you are trying to argue. It all goes back to the idea of "nature vs nurture". Every living being has a certain predisposition towards certain things. That is a matter of nature. To understand everything, you must view things from a micro as well as a macro scale. Evolution does not just happen all of a sudden. It is a result of environmental influence which would be the nurture aspect of evolution. Nature and nurture go hand in hand. In a big enough pool of closed off individuals, certain behaviors and preferences come about and carry over through generations. Whether biologically or socially this holds true. You can view this as a biological or social evolution of sorts if you want. The key point I was saying to begin with was that we have evolved certain habits and instincts due to our evolutionary history which is influenced by our environment. When people talk about evolution they tend to focus on the biological aspect such as 'mutations' in the gene pool. This 'mutation' tends to be influenced by the environment and can be either a beneficial mutation or a detrimental one. However, it is more often than not that the beneficial mutation survives because that is the trait that allows us to survive better at THAT TIME. A lot of traits that we evolve eventually become less useful as our environment changes whether that be climate or the evolution of civilization. Yes, this includes the evolution of culture. Biology evolves in tandem with the environment. Some people can evolve to keep rats as pets because our civilization has evolved hygiene to the point that we can do so. However, you cannot deny that compared to the wider population of humanity, only a small population of humans keep pets like rats and snakes, etc. A lot of our instinctual fears are no longer as relevant as they used to be. You are viewing evolution only on the basis of biology and genetics without taking into account the environmental factor. And if you want to add 'race' into the discussion, yes, just as every individual is different genetically on an individual basis, different races are too. Some races are more genetically predisposed to certain diseases or are better at certain things than others. This is because we evolved different traits in the past due to the different environments we lived in. In fact, humans were not always omnivores. A lot of what we are able to eat today were developed throughout a long span of our evolutionary history and maybe even a mix between our gene pools. Theres a reason why some people today are still lactose intolerant. Thats because humans were not always lactose tolerant. It is an evolved trait. Lactose intolerance is essentially an ancient trait that has been passed down but no longer very relevant or helpful. I'm not sure how this is even viewed as controversial.
On the pig/dog thing. Pigs were domesticated in large part because they can eat basically anything and convert waste food (table scraps, food that's a bit off, parts of plants/animals people don't eat or prefer not to eat etc) into delicious pork. Dogs were domesticated for companionship and for symbiotic protection. On the horse/cow thing. Horses were absolutely eaten historically and still are, though I'd assume to a lessser degree. It would be pretty insane to let 500kg or more carcasses just rot, when they can be used in multiple ways.
I don't know if pretty privilege is a thing because in my mind it evens out with other aspects of life. I've seen pretty people be brushed off in intellectual conversations or have their concerns trivialized all while being the smartest most informed person in the room. As far as dating no one is "privileged" it's either yes or no and the why doesn't matter because you are not entitled to date anyone. Also looks fade to some degree over time. You may always be attractive, but being conventionally attractive to a wide margin of people is always a temporary state of being.
People often forget that attractiveness and wealth are the most powerful privileges human beings can have. Add to it above average IQ and you're amongst small percent of freaking royalties. It's above everything else, black, white, gay, straight, man, woman, doesn't matter, when you're rich, hot and act smart no one will ever mess with you.
*Actually, it’s those who DON’T view a rat and a squirrel differently who are the shallow ones. They are NOT the same just because they’re both rodents!* Mother squirrels typically have two to four babies in a litter, and have one or two litters a year = 2-8 babies a year. Female rats produce litters between 5 and 12 pups depending on the species. Amazingly, female rats can produce as many as 7 litters per year = up to 84 babies a year. Squirrels are solitary creatures and live alone. Rats live in colonies numbering in the thousands- and create infestations nearly impossible to eradicate breeding and spreading disease.
Notice how the people barking the loudest are people who are themselves very good looking ? They feel like jt makes them more relatable. Like they’re less of a “victim” of pretty privilege if you’re aware of it. Weird imo
The point about the hypothetical beautiful world where we treat everyone the same reminds me of something I heard about psychedelic drugs (such as LSD and psilocybin). When you take these things you start seeing all these mad colours and things, and I've heard it theorised that these are things that our brain could ordinarily show us, but that we're blocked off from seeing them normally because it doesn't have any value in our survival. I think the way we value people differently if they're attractive or unattractive is the same, because features we find attractive are markers for good genetics, and ultimately any species is going to want the strong to survive, so although our feelings make us want it all to be nice and smiles and rainbows and everyone is the same, our evolutionary drives give us these innate biases towards the people who are most going to help our collective race move forward in the best way strength wise.
Taken LSD multiple times. Never once had a vibrant, kaleidoscopic trip of colours and shapes. I've had changes to my vision, but man the "psychedelic trip" as it's portrayed in popular media is so far from how the actual experience usually feels. And off the back of that id call BS on the "our brains could show us this all the time but it hasn't got much value for helping survival so it doesn't" - if something is there and producing a visible colour, how could it be to our advantage to go subconsciously blind to it?
Again a really cool video with so much rationality and logic, I love when you point out the contradictions in statements and stay so relaxed in front of bullshit. ^^
About the being atractive thing... It's wierd because when it comes to gay people some women still wear makup to attract other woman and some men still want to be tall and rich to attract other man. Same for ace people. They wear makeup or want to look pretty because even when you don't care to attract people romantically you still want people to like you. So I think it's just a sociaty thing. The binaries really don't matter as much.
I just find it creepy when I know the person complimenting my appearance is much older then me and is a stranger. If they look close to my age I think it’s sweet (depending on how they said it haha)
I watched a video on pretty privilege on UA-cam a while back and it was a woman explaining that it’s basically just white privilege because it’s just societal standards which are white Eurocentric so the further from white you are the less attractive you are deemed. There is definitely truth in that for sure, but they also said if you are white you don’t experience this pain associated with not fitting the standard and I commented disagreeing. Being white may be a factor but just being white doesn’t mean you meet the standard. You have to have the right face, body, weight, etc etc too and if you don’t then it can be really distressing growing up being told you’re not good enough. I was berated in the comments told I was a privileged white woman speaking in a space not meant for me. But these people in the video were speaking for me. Saying my life wasn’t touched by this pain because I’m white and I couldn’t speak on this and share my experience because I’m white?
new to your channel and came across this, SO glad i did!!! you deserve the recognition for these videos and commentary!! well done love, you got a new subscriber ❤
The evolutionary animal approach explains a lot. And if you frame it as "health" it makes it easier. Financial health, skin health, confidence health, competence health, artistic health. The creation of constitutions is a human construct to rise above those animal instincts
I’ve always kinda been a part of the “beauty standard” or whtvr idfc but anyways I’ve always been into “nerdy” things and did very well in school but yet never got made fun of for it, but my friends who would be just as smart or not even have “geeky” interests would get bullied which was always confusing until learning abt pretty privilege
It’s also interesting bc the person I love is quite “quirky” and in most cases I feel I would definitely be turned away romantically from any one else but bc I am so in love with her it just makes her cuter 🤷♀️
I do think pretty privilege extends to animals however rats are also extremely disease ridden and they prefer the dark and gross places of the earth. If you have rats by where you live and no cats they will reproduce at a ridiculous rate and infest the area if you don’t kill them. So there’s also that. Also animals just serve different purposes like we don’t eat horses because we’ve always used them for riding. You can’t ride a cow lol
Except it's not though is it? A successful Man would choose a beautiful woman who works at burger king, over an unattractive successful woman. A successful woman would never do the same.
I think we should accept that people have their own taste in what they think is attractive. You shouldn't hate on people because they prefer dating a prettier person then a less attractive person. You can't expect them to change because it is just not what they are attracted to so it will be a waste of time to tell them to change since they will probably not. Altough i think it is very disgusting and disrespectfull for people to treat people who they are not attracted to less. They are still a person and they might not fit in ur standards of who you would want to date but atleast treat those people with respect. Imagine how stupid you are to only treat people who look good well and let the other people suffer from feeling worhtless. Stop treating people who you are not attracted to less. Ur actions will backfire, and then you deserve it.
There are a couple reasons why we eat pigs, but why most people don't eat dogs. Pigs are far more delicious. Think of all the different dishes that come from pigs. Bacon is one such example. Another reason is that humans and dogs co-evolved together. There's evidence that the domestication of dogs began as early as 33,000 years ago.
also if we could raise a hunting pig or hunting cow we would probably use them for that instead of just meat/milk. I don't think humans had the luxury of not eating a pig just because it was cute to look at
I mean, have you ever eaten a dog? How do you know they don't taste as nice? Dog meat is actually a delicacy in some countries, so for all we know they might taste better.
meh i think it's just because most of us had a cat or a dog as a pet. and we don't eat pets. i don't eat rabbit for this exact reason. i had rabbit pets and can't eat them now. but if in some other part of the world having a dog as a pet is as weird as having a pig as a pet then it's reasonable.
I think the thing about animals is just different. We don't eat horses because people used them as transport. Pigs are edible, snd people like the taste of the meat pigs provide. Rats also caused the plague not squirrels so there's also that
4:44 There is a pretty good reason dogs are held as partners, while pigs are considered as food supply. Tamed wolves (as they became dogs through prehistoric times) were utilized at hunting and offered protection. On the other hand they had relatively poor pay-off as food source by eating much more meat than they can be harvested for. Pigs as omnivores can be fed with almost anything while provide plenty of protein and calory. One animal can be utilized easily, the other turns organic junk into high value food. 7:06 "Where as a man only has to be tall." Yeah, like being tall is the easiest thing to achieve in the world...
Butterflies vs Moths Same creature, different wings Sheep vs Goats Same creature, one is divine, another is demonic Horse vs Donkey Same creature, one is a symbol of royalty, another is a symbol of poverty
we don’t eat dogs cuz dogs are predators so they’re not tasty n u can actually poison yourself (like if u eat a wild dog). On the other hand pigs r not predators so their flesh it tastier n has more good fats (less movement = more good fat) also the fact that cows and pigs on farms usually eat same food all the time makes their meat taste better (different food = bad taste of flesh). And horses were always used as working power on fields or as transportation so there’s no need to kill and eat a useful animal. It’s not that they’re pretty it’a way more logical. also if an animal eats other animals it’ll taste bad even if it’s not an active predator
4:45 There are a few parts of the dog that you cannot eat, such as the liver, it's highly toxic for humans. You get vitamin intoxication or something like that. Happened to some people who had to eat their sled dogs on an expedition once and they died after eating the livers.
I really love your videos, your point about men being more visual is so true and the evidence can be found among gay men because gay men tend to care more about how they look than straight men because we're attracted to other men and like you said men are really drawn by looks ( more visual). And we see the opposite amongst lesbian because a lot of them don't care as much on how they looks like gay men or straight women do( side note: all my evidence on this part are from movies and social media so I may be wrong). Even in movie and TV shows the set of people that are usually portrayed with realistic beauty standards are lesbians
That's really interesting, no I think you're right on your observations about lesbians. There are more of them who choose to not wear make up or wear form hugging clothes compared to straight women. So i think you're probably right.
I think it depends on if the person is more masculine or not. Coz more girly the lesbian is - the more she takes care of her looks. And traditionally attractive women are always popular even in lesbian communities. Gay guys...well, there is a gay trope of sorts - bear - big burly, hairy gay guy lol. And a lot of guys go for it. But again - masculinity and femininity - more masculine guys go for more feminine guys and vice versa. And ofc the age thing - many gay people are in couples with great age difference. Both lesbian and gay men. And ofc - the older ones are usually the less attractive ones. So not much difference between hetero and gay lol.
Pretty privilege has a greater effect for women because for the average woman there are many traits that get you in the door to see if you are a suitable mate such as wealth, physical attractiveness, conversation. ect whereas for most men there is almost always a physical cut off. if you are not attractive you can all the other good traits but you probs wont even be looked at.
I will shock you, but men actually cherish other things than looks too. Its just not the same things that women cherish. Coz you know, we are not women lmao. Men dont care if she is rich, but we notice if she does something nice for us like making a sandwich. Or to get a blow job we didnt had to ask for. Being logical and not too emotional also score a point or two. Sense of humor that is close to our own also is seen as attractive. Femininity is a big one. If she doesn't walk and talk like a dude. I have seen average women being praised as amazing just coz they are witty and dress/walk/talk femininely.
Here's a theory for the part on animals; city rats and pigs generally carry far more diseases, viruses, worms, etc that are dangerous to humans compared to other domesticated animals so avoiding them seems evolutionarily logical. Also, I think the aesthetic of horses is far less important than their capabilities as they were used by all civilizations for speedy and/or long distance traveling, farming, sports but more importantly war and military conquest, which I think is the source of the majesty we attribute them.
7:08 unattractive men are some of the most mistreated ppl socially unless they are wealthy. Unattractive women are mistreated by individual men but also have more societal pressure to be attractive
Dogs have been with humans since the Stone Age I didn’t see no pig helping us hunt mammoth. Also people domesticated the horse like 10,000 years ago and they are useful for lots of stuff.
11:29 simply saying we are animals dismisses how more evolved than mere animals we as humans are. Things that are normal for animals are not for humans, that's where our sense of morality and right/wrong comes in.
I agree that’s where discernment comes in which is why ideally women shouldn’t be attracted to a guy who’s 6foot but a convicted r@pist , but then you you find droves of women who are fans of ted bundy lol technically they are stupid but there is a primitive motivation for their attraction
But also with people who had a glow up or lost weight, they may exude more confidence and happiness and that can just draw people to you as well so it could be a little bit of both.
wow I do not agree with tiktok at 7:10.... to the point where as she was speaking I almost expected her to say the exact opposite of what she said just because anything else wouldn't make sense... First of all, contrary to popular belief, it is actually not the case that men are automatically handed a big steaming pile of "privilege" on a golden platter for simply being men... and yes, while I will agree that society treats women's physical appearance as an overly big part of what affords women "privilege" which would maybe be better phrased as social standing/perceived worth. however from what I've observed a man is not automatically afforded the same amount of this as a beautiful woman for simply being tall and /or clean, in fact I'd honestly argue as a general rule men are generally considered of less social value than women of a similar attractiveness unless they counterbalance this with being considerably more successful and financially stable, funny and intelligent ect... People heavily over look how much beauty standards actually affect men. Someone who's tall, but overweight and / or balding is not going to be treated the same. That harassment meme at 1:10 is a good example of this. There's good evidence that as a whole women tend to be even pickier when it comes to this than men. When people researched men's and women's results on dating apps the results show that overwhelmingly even fairly average looking women tend to get far more attention on those apps where as it was only a select minority of only the most attractive men that got any response.

As someone who used to be pretty, it's definitely a thing. I definitely noticed when I wasn't "pretty" anymore.
yeah pretty but not beautiful . beautiful women have to struggle to make real friends bc everyone wants something from them or they want to be them. why are most beautiful women alone? bc everyone is jealous of them . its a reality people uglier want to pretend that's not real bc they will never live in that reality, so they minimize it by saying aww its hard to b pretty wahhh. but yeah it is. women will never be nice to them genuinely
@@ellacreed9302 True.
@@ellacreed9302 bullshit
it’s real but i would argue not in the way people often think it is. just bc you’re ‘pretty’ doesn’t mean everything is handed to you. my mum was and still is very beautiful but it hasn’t made her life any easier. if anything it’s made it harder, with harassment from men and jealousy from women. there’s a certain type of ‘pretty’ which attracts this sort of privilege, and imo it goes hand and hand with over confidence and entitlement
@@christina8866 Not sure it's OVER confidence and entitlement, though I understand seeing it that way. At a guess, your mother is not just beautiful but also nice, kind and generally considerate. Unfortunately men are very base creatures, unless they get a clear "not a chance in hell" signal they think there's a chance. More unfortunate, many men consider basic decency and acknowledgement that they're human as a sign they have a chance, which leads to harassment or, if the guy is a little off, worse.
Then, it's the entitlement of other women that leads to contending with jealousy. This also being generally considerate is a disadvantage as they don't establish themselves as the alpha in a sense. A beautiful woman who is not (openly) generally considerate and compassionate gives this signal of "nothing fazes me so just get out of my way." There's still the jealousy, of course, but they don't have to deal with it so much openly.
I think prior to the Internet how we defined tall or successful or pretty was relative to those around us and a few celebrities. Now we are exposed to a larger population who can also use technology to alter their appearance online to things that are not even physically possible. I think this has caused some people to have unreasonable standards because they are seeing what they want more than it actually exists in the real world.
Hahaha that redhead got me chuckling. According to her, as a man, you have to:
1. Be tall
2. Shower
And you earn respect. It's absolutely laughable to think that somebody actually believes that.
@Jo Ray I am sorry you had to suffer through that sort of acquaintance.
Bro fr, I'd even argue that an average woman gets more attention than an average looking man. I mean, women are more picky than men, so most men don't meet the cut. But so many men are willing to give average looking women a chance. So it's ridiculous to see people complain as women. Ofc of your very unattractive, people treat you very poorly, especially as women. But if you're average or better, you'd get way more attention than the average man
@@chrissolognier8221 true, most women don’t even have a hint of how hard it is for men. Reminds me of the UA-camr that took over her male friends tinder account stating “getting dates for you is going to be easy cause you’re beautiful” (spoiler it wasn’t) but then started resenting women for rejecting her advances nonetheless 😂
For real, I'm 6'1" and I don't get any women interested in me just because of my height, and, from what I can tell, I'm not very attractive even though I try my best. To be attractive, there is a LOT men have to do that that woman just doesn't seem to see. I bust my ass every morning in the gym, 6 days a week and eat a very healthy diet just so I can maintain a healthy and fit body. It's all about the luck of the draw, make the best with the cards you're dealt or shut up, thats all there is and you have to accept some have it easier than others.

@@themarathoncontinues4211 it's also more of a personality thing as I'm probably not as confident as I could be, however my point was more that it takes more than just being tall. Being tall is great don't get me wrong, but I don't think it's the "instant-win" card people make it out to be.
The girls who were less physically attractive to the majority of their peers in school, were bullied more. It was so horrible to see, because these girls were pretty, they just weren’t to the beauty standard, and they actually were kinder than all the more “pretty” girls were during high school. The “pretty” girls bullied the girls who were less “pretty” and it was so mean of them. They were told so many harsh things like to take their own life, ect. It was disgusting.
And then, in society, men who are less attractive to beauty standards held to men, are less dateable/ given less chances by women to date. I met my husband on a dating app, and I put all my worries about attractiveness aside, and wanted to genuinely get to know him. He was attractive in person (at the time not to the standard of western society- he comes from India- and women tend to avoid men wearing turbans or head coverings in white Australian culture) , and slowly his confidence built because I was seeing him for who he is, not who he is based on preconceived judgements, biases, and internalised racism within the culture I’d grown up in. He is the most handsome, loyal, kind, and respectful man I’ve ever been with, and I married him because of his inner qualities. Not many women gave him the chance in the past because of the way he dressed and their own cultural biases. He also is quite short for a guy, so a lot of women prefer taller men. I didn’t let any of these things get in the way, and now we have a multi cultured relationship. He didn’t have pretty privilege in my society, and even in his society back home. I was his first relationship, and I see the struggles of my brother in law with dating too. He feels that most women discriminate against him because he wears a turban. He’s so attractive, funny, unique, ect, but it’s difficult for him to find a loyal connection.

I agree! You are very well spoken and have some very level headed takes. Also there's a book by economist Daniel Hammermesh called "Beauty Pays" that goes into beauty and economic outcomes.
Experiencing pretty privilege as a guy is kind of weird... people definitely treat you different because of how you look. It's nice to get free things and be treated well, but there is also the side of dealing with people who are weirdos around you based on how you look, and other people who are hostile towards you because of how you look. While the attention is nice, I also found that people were a lot more fake around me, and I got sick of all the negativity based on how I look. Also... dating was weird because people expect you to act based on their preconceived notions of you, so I'd date girls who were disappointed that I wasn't an absolutely Chad, or get denied for dates because girls thought I was just going to be a Chad and play them. Stopping working out and coming into my dad bod just made life easier overall. I do miss the attention, but I'd argue that the quality of my life is better now.

Idk, squirrels weren’t carrier of the Black Plague
This. Animals that are known vectors of disease just don’t tend to be that popular.

Im not proud to say it, but being pretty made my life a walk in the park.
At least you’re honest..shows your humble..most people have pride cos of looks
How did you solve the greasy skin?
@TN how did it make your life easier? Audi you sound already privileged being able to attend a boarding school. Many pretty women are in economically disadvantaged situations abs have no opportunity to utilize pretty privilege.
Sure it makes your overall life easier, but I ask, are you able to form deep bond with people? Do they look past your looks at some point? Or are you always the object of pride and show off? T least that’s my experience for me
@TN same here, I used to be so insecure and it’s nice to finally feel good about myself
I love love the way you put things into perspective especially the part about "our value is determine by what the other gender deems attractive".
This is so interesting. The sad thing for me was I never had as much male attention as the time I was suffering with anorexia. I was thin but felt ill, exhausted, depressed and my periods stopped, but men where literally falling over themselves to ask me for a date. Never happened once I got back to a healthy weight or slightly above .
That is really twisted. You're stronger for overcoming that. I'd vager part of it is men finding physically weaker women attractive and it kinda speaks of an insecurity in them. I, as a bi woman find healthy women with weight in "all the right places" the most attractive.

On pretty privilege for animals: if it's not cute, we don't care. That's true. But if it's cute and DELICIOUS, then being cute won't save it's life.
Dogs are cute, useful, affectionate and good companions. So it doesn't occur to us to try to eat them unless there is no other appealing meat available.
But pigs are 5s on the cuteness scale, they eat everything (including us, given the chance), they swim in muck and are extremely delicious. Their deliciousness is why we farm them and their subjective cuteness is irrelevant. And I say that as a fan of Charlotte's web.
Squirrels are members of the animal 1%. Cute/cool (e.g. Eagles) and mostly unappealing as food. That gets you free food and nobody trying to shoot you.

A protection trained pig my god that's a truly horrifying idea right there ...lmao... That just earned my subscription
In terms of the tallness being a mans beauty standard. I completely agree. I am a short guy at 5'3" and while not super model level of hot I believe I am decently attractive and fairly smart (again not a genius but i'm not an idiot either) and now working towards being in better physical shape. I won't lie though it has been tough in the dating scene as a lot of women are looking for a taller man (can't blame them it's what they're attracted to and partially biology) and I do get downcast quite often for not meeting that height requirement. Pretty sure there isn't anything I can do about it and I just have to find a woman that doesn't care about height as much. Just wanted to add my 2 cents
Wish you the best, bro. Hope you find the right person for you 👍
@@nemojob666 Thanks bro likewise
It's like having small boobs. Most men don't like them, but will insist they'd TOTALLY give a woman with small boobs a chance, when really they're just desperate for sex and to no be alone for once. But to most men small boobs = child. Most men who like small boobs are weird. Most men who like big boobs will only look past boob size if you make up for it in ass or have a pretty enough face. Being pretty in the face with a curvy figure is something I'll never have. So men will never consider me hot.
At least all you have to worry about is one factor you can't control.
@@madisoncrum9212 I see your point and I can't imagine the struggle. However, it might do you well to find a change in perspective. Personally, I like all types of boobs, most of the girls i've dated up until now have small-med sized boobs. But regardless of that, you can't let that define you. You have to find a guy that likes you for you (and statistically you will) and that includes all of you, perks and flaws.
All the best
Forget pretty privilege. Even prejudice prevents people from taking a person's message as is and interpreting it. Depending on the messenger, it's received well or poorly
Being seen as attractive is beneficial in most areas of life, but there are definitely some situations where it can do more harm than good. I'm a woman who is generally considered attractive by the majority of people, primarily because I fit the beauty standards of my culture. I'm also a student in STEM, and the mistreatment is rampant. Professors tend to dislike me and grade me much more harshly than other women, and I frequently don't get taken seriously. It's a very real issue for me and greatly adversely affects my life. Issues can also be seen in hiring practices. Everytime I'm interviewed by a man, I get the job. Conversely, I've NEVER been hired by a female interviewer. So I guess whether or not being attractive is wholly advantageous really depends on the kind of lifestyle you have and your personal goals. If you want free drinks and lots of followers on social media, then sure, being an attractive woman is great. If you want to be respected and taken seriously in any kind of intellectual profession, you're shit out of luck.
You can just not wear make up and get the most boring, professional hairstyle/dress style.
@@alexforce9 I don't wear makeup and I'm definitely not very fashionable
@@emmalewis2237 fair enough
@@alexforce9 that sucks am in the stem field aswell currently doing masters in theoretical physics and am a very girly woman ...I love make up, dressing up and am attractive ...however because of the field am in I dress down a lot- when I have to meet with my supervisor or collegues. However I don't enjoy my representation because it's not how i want to look but I do it either way.
Gurl you reminded me how animalistic we are. Becuase knowing that we are just animals actually explains a lot of stuff. Becuase it explains attraction and other stuff.
we are not. we have been conditioned to believe this and act accordingly
That's how attraction works tho, the most natural thing ever.
pretty privilege is 100% a thing but having to deal with stalkers and creeps is not something I signed up for
GGs I guess
One of your videos popped up on my youtube recommends and I'm so glad. The topics you talk about aren't what id say are the most calming but I love listening to these kind of opinion videos of current events or social issues but the sound of your voice is so lovely and you've got the perfect pace (ie not too fast or too slow) I think it makes your videos feel very relaxing. Again I'm very happy UA-cam popped your video up on my recommends
I saw your video in recommendation I clicked and within seconds, just after seeing you and feeling your vibe, I immediately liked and subscribed, so maybe pretty privilege is real :D
but for real, I had many beautiful girl friends, and I often witness how easier their life is just by being more conventionally attractive to men. But for all the free drinks, all the opportunities and gifts, they still had unhappy love life or struggles with self image or self love, while also of course everyone have their issues and on top of that you need to know how to protect yourself and deal with a load of unwanted constant attention from men. So I never envy them as I am not interested in men anyways
Thank you so much! I really like your perspective and it's the healthiest one to have. We should never envy anyone because we only see glimpses of their lives.😊
Being a non-shallow person that looks for deep connections and doesn't value people on the way the look (or at least I give only a small relevance to that) I struggle to accept how society is. It seems we still value appearance so much, especially when you are a woman, and that creates even more pressure and insecurities.
For example, when I feel insecure, I tend to compare my beauty to other girls' beauty and even though I see myself as pretty, I then feel like if I am not beautiful enough. This shouldn't be that relevant for my self-esteem BUT it is because of society... If you have any suggestions, please tell me what I can do about it :)
Well, you can realize that you may not be as pretty as other girls lol. The problem is not your insecurities - they just may be truths. The real problem is - why you have the need to be pretty. You say you are not a shallow person, but you place your looks on a high importance. That's not society. That's you. So ask yourself - what being attractive gives you, or may give you that you want? Is it attention? Validation? Love? Why you feel the need to be attractive? The truth is - pretty privilege is real, and it affects people lives all the time. So if you want to be pretty - its just the privilege that you want. And ITS OK TO WANT THAT! Its natural. Who will refuse to get more of the good stuff. But you cant outjump what you have. So to feel insecure is pointless. Just do what you can to enhance what you have. Make up, skin care, enough sleep, vitamins ect. But beyond that - no reason to think too much about it. If you did everything you can in that department, its time to work on the other part of you - like personality lol. Coz there are other privileges' too. Like smart privileges, and charming privilege and sense of humor privilege ect. :)
@@alexforce9 I don't know why I feel the need to be quite attractive, I guess that as women we tend to compare each other a lot more than men. But it's society that make us believe that the best trait we can have is being attractive. Look around you, most examples in media tell women that if they're beautiful and get attention, then they're worthy. And I want to get rid of that, I want to feel confident for my intelligence, kindness etc. and only later, by my appearance.
@@merlokiii Again, worthy of what? Whats the end goal here? What attractive women get that you want? Admiration? Attention? Validation? You are fast to blame society without looking inside yourself. If that how you look at yourself, than this is how you look at other women too. You judge them on are they worthy or not based on their looks. Thats you. You are the society.
Appreciating beauty doesn't make us shallow, it's a normal part of human nature, that's why you stop and look at the sunset. Stop lying to yourself you're not special
11:32 YAS! I've experienced both, lol. Also, I feel like if I go about wearing no makeup, I look pretty average. However, if I wear make up (not even that much, just wearing what I know suits me after years of experimenting), beautiful clothes, my hair done exactly the way I like it, etc, I look heavenly 😆 It's not always about "being blessed" with a pretty face, but rather experimenting and getting to know what looks good on you and what doesn't. I must say love your take on things. Yes, this is how we humans are, and my "fight the system" phase has passed. Right now I prefer to sit back, relax, take advantage of the game and let the newest generations fight those fights.
I'm really happy to see someone talking about pretty privilege. I've heard commentary on every other possible form of privilege except this one and its been bothering for some time now.
I love how you're articulate & really knowledgeable about your topics, enjoy your work. And you're very pretty & love your voice just thought should say it.
"what's the difference between dogs and pigs?"
Oh god that hurt to hear😂😭
My best answer is that we bred dogs to help us, same with horses compared to cows. It's not just the aesthetic (probably part of it tho). Dogs were bred as not only companions, but helpers and workers, such as for herding, hunting, search/rescue, ect. - pigs don't really do these things, so they were most useful for meat. Horses were used as transportation, could pull/carry heavy loads, and were used in war - I don't believe cows did these things (maybe ox for pulling carts, but not so much riding/battle). So by extension, it was more worth keeping dogs/horses around compared to killing and eating them, and I think it's become engrained in us as a result since it went on for so long
(I am fully aware this was not the point of the video but I absolutely had to say it so here you go ig, hope y'all enjoyed the tangent😂😂😂)
@@sw3783 Yes, but taboos and standards are usually stemmed in some kind of reason. I think that it was frowned upon in the past because it was objectively better to keep dogs/horses around than to eat them - because it was frowned on for so long, it became a taboo. Things don't happen just because - there's always a reason for why we do things a certain way (whether or not someone likes the reason is an entirely separate discussion, but it doesn't change whether or not the reason exists)
don't want to be cringe (but I will lol) - you are stunning. Talk about pretty privilege. I think that's also one of the reason your content is growing so fast. I don't mean to be reductive when I say this. You are great!
Again, great content, great perspective. I don't agree with everything you say, but you are well intentioned and I believe you are right on a lot of your interpretations.
"The man just have to be tall"
Lmao that's like saying "she just has to be born with an hourglass figure"
"She just has to have boobs"
“Men just have to be tall.”
You know that being tall is hard, right? Like really really hard because it’s genetics and I said that as a short guy.
Ive met some s3xy short kings.
I don't think being tall is enough, I've seen people being called slenderman💀
@@brianm3160 well thats the thing. You “have” to be tall and muscular or short
@@brianm3160 or yes, you get called slenderman
She said "just" because that's "just" the only criteria that men have to fill in order to be attractive. Not "just" as in it's easy for a individual man to make himself tall.
My dad told me about this actually! He went on a health journey and shed weight. Said people treated him noticeably much better and he got more attention from women, etc.
What makes it worse is that tik toks algorithm will push down videos of creators it thinks are not “attractive”. I dont ever scroll or use tiktok so i cant personally confirm or deny this but it would make a lot of sense since it was known as the dance app basically for a while.
My fiancé had a weight lose over a 100 pounds and she always says how now she gets so many more compliments when going out. She said it would rarely to ever happen before but now it happens almost ever time she goes out.
Lol at this point of time, It doesn't really matter anymore. I've had both phases, in school I was unkempt and little unattractive, didn't care much about physical appearance. People used to treat me differently. And then in college, I started to care about my appearance, people started to get attracted to me and trust me when I say this, I hate the attention and harassment I feel from people. Both phases were hell. Now I'm better than before in looks, all people comment on my looks. It's like there's no compliment left for them to say it to me. They comment on how I lost weight, how beautiful my outfit is, how my skin looks, how my hair looks etc etc.
I want to vent now, there are multiple incidents I'd like to share. I'm pretty much of a kind person, I help out but people sometimes take it as hint which I really just despise. Another is insecure and jealous people saying hurtful stuff. It doesn't matter wheather you're unattractive or attractive. Awful nature of humans doesn't discriminate.
My conclusion is, both phases are hell with their own unique cons. No two phases are superior to another.
She said “my boyfriend” in her video!!!! Lucky man, he got a girl that can publicly talk about him 🥰❤️ mad oh!!!

@@alaziaklexos I know… lol but nobody does it. Go see other UA-camrs contents no one claims to be taken
@@mrcvon oh I thought you were talking in general because if your partner is hiding the fact that they're with you then that's a red flag.
There are a lot of female and male youtubers who declare they're in a relationship it's actually not that uncommon, some even include their significant other in their videos.
Just came across your channel by chance and have watched only a couple of your videos so far and I echo others comments: You have such a refreshing, down to earth take on everything, and I hope your audience continues to grow!
And as a side note, I have a pet Instagram account that has accumulated a notable amount of followers for absolutely no reason other than my fur babies being cute, and I’ve never felt like I deserved the attention. Thoughtful channels like yours deserve MUCH more of an audience 🙏
I definitely noticed pretty privilege is a thing. When I got sick and lost over 80 pounds in a couple months I suddenly got allot more positive attention from my family, friends, and strangers. Regardless of how I told them I lost it. It honestly just made my health worse. I’m now wondering if it’s better to just gain the weight back and be a background character again
The rat and squirrel example wasn't the best example. We abhor rats and set traps to kill them because we inherently and instinctively know and see them as signs of disease. Throughout human history and evolution, rats have been some of the greatest vectors for disease. We like dogs because we spent a good chunk of our evolutionary history with them as companions. Same thing with roaches, they are a sign that something is dirty and thus we also detest them.
Exactly. People definitely do value cute animals more than the uncute ones, but squirrels/rats are a pretty bad example of that.
@@sw3783 I'm not too sure where exactly you are trying to go with this. Never was it mentioned that humans don't eat rats and squirrels. There are many things humans can eat if they put their mind to it. What was said here is the general fear and disgust for certain animals that MOST of humanity have that give them an instinctual avoidance/rejection reaction to them the moment they see them. This does not mean that people can't eat them. It means that generally people avoid them or are disgusted by them.
The greatest evolutionary advantage humans have over other species is our ingenuity to get around our disadvantages. Thus, it is not unlikely for some humans to develop a way to cook certain foods that would rather be harmful to them otherwise or develop ways to cook foods that would appear less than appetizing more appealing.
Humans don't just eat squirrels and rats but even dogs. You might even find ppl who eat cats. Different humans have evolved different habits based on their historical circumstances. We are pretty good at adapting to things. Before hygienic knowledge, it wasn't as weird to eat rats. Especially since poverty was abundant. You have to think about the circumstances of the times things came about.
@@sw3783 As I said, I am not sure what you are trying to argue. It all goes back to the idea of "nature vs nurture". Every living being has a certain predisposition towards certain things. That is a matter of nature. To understand everything, you must view things from a micro as well as a macro scale. Evolution does not just happen all of a sudden. It is a result of environmental influence which would be the nurture aspect of evolution. Nature and nurture go hand in hand.
In a big enough pool of closed off individuals, certain behaviors and preferences come about and carry over through generations. Whether biologically or socially this holds true. You can view this as a biological or social evolution of sorts if you want.
The key point I was saying to begin with was that we have evolved certain habits and instincts due to our evolutionary history which is influenced by our environment.
When people talk about evolution they tend to focus on the biological aspect such as 'mutations' in the gene pool. This 'mutation' tends to be influenced by the environment and can be either a beneficial mutation or a detrimental one. However, it is more often than not that the beneficial mutation survives because that is the trait that allows us to survive better at THAT TIME. A lot of traits that we evolve eventually become less useful as our environment changes whether that be climate or the evolution of civilization. Yes, this includes the evolution of culture. Biology evolves in tandem with the environment.
Some people can evolve to keep rats as pets because our civilization has evolved hygiene to the point that we can do so.
However, you cannot deny that compared to the wider population of humanity, only a small population of humans keep pets like rats and snakes, etc. A lot of our instinctual fears are no longer as relevant as they used to be.
You are viewing evolution only on the basis of biology and genetics without taking into account the environmental factor.
And if you want to add 'race' into the discussion, yes, just as every individual is different genetically on an individual basis, different races are too. Some races are more genetically predisposed to certain diseases or are better at certain things than others. This is because we evolved different traits in the past due to the different environments we lived in.
In fact, humans were not always omnivores. A lot of what we are able to eat today were developed throughout a long span of our evolutionary history and maybe even a mix between our gene pools.
Theres a reason why some people today are still lactose intolerant. Thats because humans were not always lactose tolerant. It is an evolved trait.
Lactose intolerance is essentially an ancient trait that has been passed down but no longer very relevant or helpful.
I'm not sure how this is even viewed as controversial.
On the pig/dog thing.
Pigs were domesticated in large part because they can eat basically anything and convert waste food (table scraps, food that's a bit off, parts of plants/animals people don't eat or prefer not to eat etc) into delicious pork.
Dogs were domesticated for companionship and for symbiotic protection.
On the horse/cow thing.
Horses were absolutely eaten historically and still are, though I'd assume to a lessser degree.
It would be pretty insane to let 500kg or more carcasses just rot, when they can be used in multiple ways.
I don't know if pretty privilege is a thing because in my mind it evens out with other aspects of life. I've seen pretty people be brushed off in intellectual conversations or have their concerns trivialized all while being the smartest most informed person in the room. As far as dating no one is "privileged" it's either yes or no and the why doesn't matter because you are not entitled to date anyone. Also looks fade to some degree over time. You may always be attractive, but being conventionally attractive to a wide margin of people is always a temporary state of being.
Yeah, more than pretty privilege anywhere in the world, wealthy privilege is more powerful and real.
People often forget that attractiveness and wealth are the most powerful privileges human beings can have. Add to it above average IQ and you're amongst small percent of freaking royalties. It's above everything else, black, white, gay, straight, man, woman, doesn't matter, when you're rich, hot and act smart no one will ever mess with you.
Patience, trust me…you have pretty privilege! You’re downright adorable, and one of the most beautiful reactors I’ve seen on UA-cam. Seriously.
Pretty Woman the Movie is basically a documentary on pretty privilege
*Actually, it’s those who DON’T view a rat and a squirrel differently who are the shallow ones. They are NOT the same just because they’re both rodents!*
Mother squirrels typically have two to four babies in a litter, and have one or two litters a year = 2-8 babies a year.
Female rats produce litters between 5 and 12 pups depending on the species. Amazingly, female rats can produce as many as 7 litters per year = up to 84 babies a year.
Squirrels are solitary creatures and live alone. Rats live in colonies numbering in the thousands- and create infestations nearly impossible to eradicate breeding and spreading disease.
Found the rat expert
Yup! Def true, for sure .. part of the reason I laugh so much at 'male privilege' , I've grown up rough being a male, but girls get it alot easier..
glad UA-cam recommended this video it’s so well-presented and interesting!! I’ll definitely check out your other stuff, too 😊
Thank you!😊
Notice how the people barking the loudest are people who are themselves very good looking ? They feel like jt makes them more relatable. Like they’re less of a “victim” of pretty privilege if you’re aware of it. Weird imo
The point about the hypothetical beautiful world where we treat everyone the same reminds me of something I heard about psychedelic drugs (such as LSD and psilocybin). When you take these things you start seeing all these mad colours and things, and I've heard it theorised that these are things that our brain could ordinarily show us, but that we're blocked off from seeing them normally because it doesn't have any value in our survival. I think the way we value people differently if they're attractive or unattractive is the same, because features we find attractive are markers for good genetics, and ultimately any species is going to want the strong to survive, so although our feelings make us want it all to be nice and smiles and rainbows and everyone is the same, our evolutionary drives give us these innate biases towards the people who are most going to help our collective race move forward in the best way strength wise.
Taken LSD multiple times. Never once had a vibrant, kaleidoscopic trip of colours and shapes. I've had changes to my vision, but man the "psychedelic trip" as it's portrayed in popular media is so far from how the actual experience usually feels.
And off the back of that id call BS on the "our brains could show us this all the time but it hasn't got much value for helping survival so it doesn't" - if something is there and producing a visible colour, how could it be to our advantage to go subconsciously blind to it?
lol dead at make up and bbl dead hahaha & yes "Humans Are Gonna Human" put that on a t shirt! make it a show!
Again a really cool video with so much rationality and logic, I love when you point out the contradictions in statements and stay so relaxed in front of bullshit. ^^
About the being atractive thing... It's wierd because when it comes to gay people some women still wear makup to attract other woman and some men still want to be tall and rich to attract other man. Same for ace people. They wear makeup or want to look pretty because even when you don't care to attract people romantically you still want people to like you. So I think it's just a sociaty thing. The binaries really don't matter as much.
I just find it creepy when I know the person complimenting my appearance is much older then me and is a stranger. If they look close to my age I think it’s sweet (depending on how they said it haha)
Your so pretty btw
You're too sweet, thank you!💜
@@PatienceXina lol nice way to correct her grammar
As soon as I clicked on the video I was like wow patience has some serious pretty privilege you are freaking gorgeous, friend!!!
I watched a video on pretty privilege on UA-cam a while back and it was a woman explaining that it’s basically just white privilege because it’s just societal standards which are white Eurocentric so the further from white you are the less attractive you are deemed. There is definitely truth in that for sure, but they also said if you are white you don’t experience this pain associated with not fitting the standard and I commented disagreeing. Being white may be a factor but just being white doesn’t mean you meet the standard. You have to have the right face, body, weight, etc etc too and if you don’t then it can be really distressing growing up being told you’re not good enough. I was berated in the comments told I was a privileged white woman speaking in a space not meant for me. But these people in the video were speaking for me. Saying my life wasn’t touched by this pain because I’m white and I couldn’t speak on this and share my experience because I’m white?
new to your channel and came across this, SO glad i did!!! you deserve the recognition for these videos and commentary!! well done love, you got a new subscriber ❤
Thank you so much!💜
The video was fantastic, as are all your videos. But I also just had to say I LOVE your top/dress, it looks so good on you!🤗💕
The evolutionary animal approach explains a lot. And if you frame it as "health" it makes it easier. Financial health, skin health, confidence health, competence health, artistic health. The creation of constitutions is a human construct to rise above those animal instincts
I’ve always kinda been a part of the “beauty standard” or whtvr idfc but anyways I’ve always been into “nerdy” things and did very well in school but yet never got made fun of for it, but my friends who would be just as smart or not even have “geeky” interests would get bullied which was always confusing until learning abt pretty privilege
It’s also interesting bc the person I love is quite “quirky” and in most cases I feel I would definitely be turned away romantically from any one else but bc I am so in love with her it just makes her cuter 🤷♀️
Also, as a below average attractive person I’m ok with pretty people around me. I find it quite nice
As a tall man.. I just wanna say the guy with the trust fund and or 6 figure job wins EVERY time
Facts, man. Facts.
*cries in 6' lonely"*
I do think pretty privilege extends to animals however rats are also extremely disease ridden and they prefer the dark and gross places of the earth. If you have rats by where you live and no cats they will reproduce at a ridiculous rate and infest the area if you don’t kill them. So there’s also that. Also animals just serve different purposes like we don’t eat horses because we’ve always used them for riding. You can’t ride a cow lol
To be fair squirrels carry many diseases of their own including tularemia, typhus, plague, and ringworm.
Rats stink
If you’re not blind, you are a visual creature. And “men being more visual” is a myth.
Except it's not though is it? A successful Man would choose a beautiful woman who works at burger king, over an unattractive successful woman. A successful woman would never do the same.
I think we should accept that people have their own taste in what they think is attractive. You shouldn't hate on people because they prefer dating a prettier person then a less attractive person. You can't expect them to change because it is just not what they are attracted to so it will be a waste of time to tell them to change since they will probably not. Altough i think it is very disgusting and disrespectfull for people to treat people who they are not attracted to less. They are still a person and they might not fit in ur standards of who you would want to date but atleast treat those people with respect. Imagine how stupid you are to only treat people who look good well and let the other people suffer from feeling worhtless. Stop treating people who you are not attracted to less. Ur actions will backfire, and then you deserve it.
For men , not only you have to be tall , you have to have money .
There are a couple reasons why we eat pigs, but why most people don't eat dogs. Pigs are far more delicious. Think of all the different dishes that come from pigs. Bacon is one such example. Another reason is that humans and dogs co-evolved together. There's evidence that the domestication of dogs began as early as 33,000 years ago.
also if we could raise a hunting pig or hunting cow we would probably use them for that instead of just meat/milk. I don't think humans had the luxury of not eating a pig just because it was cute to look at
I mean, have you ever eaten a dog? How do you know they don't taste as nice? Dog meat is actually a delicacy in some countries, so for all we know they might taste better.
meh i think it's just because most of us had a cat or a dog as a pet. and we don't eat pets. i don't eat rabbit for this exact reason. i had rabbit pets and can't eat them now. but if in some other part of the world having a dog as a pet is as weird as having a pig as a pet then it's reasonable.
"Bacon is one such example"
Please... do go on... 🤤
I think the thing about animals is just different. We don't eat horses because people used them as transport. Pigs are edible, snd people like the taste of the meat pigs provide. Rats also caused the plague not squirrels so there's also that
We use them for transport and the other, more important thing, is that horse taste like doodoo compared to beef.
That first one is cope. Say what you want and feel. You’ll be alright
4:44 There is a pretty good reason dogs are held as partners, while pigs are considered as food supply. Tamed wolves (as they became dogs through prehistoric times) were utilized at hunting and offered protection. On the other hand they had relatively poor pay-off as food source by eating much more meat than they can be harvested for.
Pigs as omnivores can be fed with almost anything while provide plenty of protein and calory. One animal can be utilized easily, the other turns organic junk into high value food.
7:06 "Where as a man only has to be tall." Yeah, like being tall is the easiest thing to achieve in the world...
Butterflies vs Moths
Same creature, different wings
Sheep vs Goats
Same creature, one is divine, another is demonic
Horse vs Donkey
Same creature, one is a symbol of royalty, another is a symbol of poverty
we don’t eat dogs cuz dogs are predators so they’re not tasty n u can actually poison yourself (like if u eat a wild dog). On the other hand pigs r not predators so their flesh it tastier n has more good fats (less movement = more good fat) also the fact that cows and pigs on farms usually eat same food all the time makes their meat taste better (different food = bad taste of flesh). And horses were always used as working power on fields or as transportation so there’s no need to kill and eat a useful animal. It’s not that they’re pretty it’a way more logical. also if an animal eats other animals it’ll taste bad even if it’s not an active predator
Pigs may not be natural predators, but they sure can eat an entire human body (including hair and bones) quickly.
a squirrel is just a leng rat 😭😭
"Imagine people trying to kill you because you're a dead ting... "
😂
4:45 There are a few parts of the dog that you cannot eat, such as the liver, it's highly toxic for humans. You get vitamin intoxication or something like that. Happened to some people who had to eat their sled dogs on an expedition once and they died after eating the livers.
I really love your videos, your point about men being more visual is so true and the evidence can be found among gay men because gay men tend to care more about how they look than straight men because we're attracted to other men and like you said men are really drawn by looks ( more visual). And we see the opposite amongst lesbian because a lot of them don't care as much on how they looks like gay men or straight women do( side note: all my evidence on this part are from movies and social media so I may be wrong). Even in movie and TV shows the set of people that are usually portrayed with realistic beauty standards are lesbians
That's really interesting, no I think you're right on your observations about lesbians. There are more of them who choose to not wear make up or wear form hugging clothes compared to straight women. So i think you're probably right.
I think it depends on if the person is more masculine or not. Coz more girly the lesbian is - the more she takes care of her looks. And traditionally attractive women are always popular even in lesbian communities. Gay guys...well, there is a gay trope of sorts - bear - big burly, hairy gay guy lol. And a lot of guys go for it. But again - masculinity and femininity - more masculine guys go for more feminine guys and vice versa. And ofc the age thing - many gay people are in couples with great age difference. Both lesbian and gay men. And ofc - the older ones are usually the less attractive ones. So not much difference between hetero and gay lol.
Pretty privilege has a greater effect for women because for the average woman there are many traits that get you in the door to see if you are a suitable mate such as wealth, physical attractiveness, conversation. ect whereas for most men there is almost always a physical cut off. if you are not attractive you can all the other good traits but you probs wont even be looked at.
I will shock you, but men actually cherish other things than looks too. Its just not the same things that women cherish. Coz you know, we are not women lmao. Men dont care if she is rich, but we notice if she does something nice for us like making a sandwich. Or to get a blow job we didnt had to ask for. Being logical and not too emotional also score a point or two. Sense of humor that is close to our own also is seen as attractive. Femininity is a big one. If she doesn't walk and talk like a dude. I have seen average women being praised as amazing just coz they are witty and dress/walk/talk femininely.
keep em coming💯💯💯
Here's a theory for the part on animals; city rats and pigs generally carry far more diseases, viruses, worms, etc that are dangerous to humans compared to other domesticated animals so avoiding them seems evolutionarily logical. Also, I think the aesthetic of horses is far less important than their capabilities as they were used by all civilizations for speedy and/or long distance traveling, farming, sports but more importantly war and military conquest, which I think is the source of the majesty we attribute them.
7:08 unattractive men are some of the most mistreated ppl socially unless they are wealthy. Unattractive women are mistreated by individual men but also have more societal pressure to be attractive
Dogs have been with humans since the Stone Age I didn’t see no pig helping us hunt mammoth. Also people domesticated the horse like 10,000 years ago and they are useful for lots of stuff.
11:29 simply saying we are animals dismisses how more evolved than mere animals we as humans are. Things that are normal for animals are not for humans, that's where our sense of morality and right/wrong comes in.
I agree that’s where discernment comes in which is why ideally women shouldn’t be attracted to a guy who’s 6foot but a convicted r@pist , but then you you find droves of women who are fans of ted bundy lol technically they are stupid but there is a primitive motivation for their attraction
That guy ranting like he's not gorgeous himself and got tons of free passes because of it
But also with people who had a glow up or lost weight, they may exude more confidence and happiness and that can just draw people to you as well so it could be a little bit of both.
wow I do not agree with tiktok at 7:10.... to the point where as she was speaking I almost expected her to say the exact opposite of what she said just because anything else wouldn't make sense...
First of all, contrary to popular belief, it is actually not the case that men are automatically handed a big steaming pile of "privilege" on a golden platter for simply being men...
and yes, while I will agree that society treats women's physical appearance as an overly big part of what affords women "privilege" which would maybe be better phrased as social standing/perceived worth. however from what I've observed a man is not automatically afforded the same amount of this as a beautiful woman for simply being tall and /or clean, in fact I'd honestly argue as a general rule men are generally considered of less social value than women of a similar attractiveness unless they counterbalance this with being considerably more successful and financially stable, funny and intelligent ect...
People heavily over look how much beauty standards actually affect men. Someone who's tall, but overweight and / or balding is not going to be treated the same. That harassment meme at 1:10 is a good example of this.
There's good evidence that as a whole women tend to be even pickier when it comes to this than men. When people researched men's and women's results on dating apps the results show that overwhelmingly even fairly average looking women tend to get far more attention on those apps where as it was only a select minority of only the most attractive men that got any response.
Why can't we just live in a society where we don't shame other people and also don't constantly claim to be victims?
I've stopped waiting for the end, it's always just an automatic like at this point.
