JustPearlyThings - Beauty Standards In The West Vs Eastern Europe

00:00:00.000 do you guys think that beauty standards are higher were higher a hundred years ago or today

00:00:07.720 today definitely today definitely today is there anyone that thinks they were higher a hundred

00:00:13.120 years ago anyone no because if you look back at old black and white photographs from the victorian

00:00:16.980 era and then you look at you just do a scroll for instagram now i mean i mean like it's night

00:00:21.200 and day in terms of in terms of hotness and i think that's down to a number of things it's like

00:00:24.560 to do with nutrition it's to do with fitness it's to do with the fact that we're all encouraged to

00:00:28.040 work out now uh makeup you know clothing there's so many different things bits of surgery and

00:00:34.460 procedures and stuff i mean there's so many different things that come into it so i think

00:00:37.600 yeah definitely overall you know people are more aesthetically pleasing now it was probably only

00:00:43.100 the rich people that were super hot back in the that's what i was gonna say i was gonna say i

00:00:47.080 feel like um things are more accessible now so yeah makeup is like it's you know less i don't know

00:00:53.060 about pricing but i feel like surgery is more accessible to people and stuff like that and i

00:00:57.280 feel like that's probably why the standards are a little bit higher yeah do women respond when 1.00

00:01:02.300 beauty standards go higher do you think that women do you feel like we step up to the plate 1.00

00:01:07.200 we yeah yeah and how how do we respond typically we follow the trend yeah

00:01:13.700 we follow the trend what trends so like the bbl trend that's happening at the moment i feel like

00:01:21.380 it's going down now but um yeah i guess we just follow the trend like um what else is it like

00:01:25.880 makeup yeah makeup i like yeah lip filler yeah i disagree a little bit because i don't follow like

00:01:34.620 all the latest trend all the time sometimes it's overwhelming to me so i try to do what is best for me

00:01:41.440 and obviously we live in this society where social media is like it's everything so everyone is

00:01:47.520 bombarded with all these images but it doesn't mean that i'm gonna follow any single trend that's up

00:01:52.140 there because it's overwhelming to me so um does beauty standards include weight yes to an extent

00:01:58.940 i think yeah yeah does anyone think it doesn't yeah i don't think so anymore i don't i don't think so

00:02:05.780 anymore i feel like um i feel like all shapes and sizes right now i might be wrong are accepted

00:02:11.540 so um i just feel like for me personally it's based on how well how well you keep yourself

00:02:17.380 and how put together you look not about your size that's just me personally do you think men think

00:02:21.340 the same thing yeah it doesn't i actually i actually think so i actually yeah i think it depends yeah

00:02:28.920 yeah no but in general so we could talk about in general would you say men care or they don't care

00:02:35.260 about women in general hence why girls are out here doing bbls i think it depends on nobody i don't 1.00

00:02:40.800 think it's bbl the bum thing yeah yeah yeah yeah do you think women are more put together today 1.00

00:02:50.220 than 100 years ago definitely yeah definitely yeah i don't know you look at some old some of these

00:02:58.240 old pictures though seriously you see like these dusty old like photographs sometimes you see i mean

00:03:02.860 they're not looking good you know the the ladies weren't representing back then you know what i

00:03:06.860 mean but then back then it might have been a thing that's how they were meant to look yeah it's true

00:03:10.820 it's true yeah those days were like oh yeah they're beautiful yeah yeah it's true it's true look at

00:03:16.700 them now but back then yeah she was hot yeah it was more natural though back in the days it was like

00:03:23.960 you know beauty is like today's like oh you need to be the perfect the perfect maker and i don't think

00:03:28.060 they cared much but don't you think the one thing i've observed like here and also in the states a little

00:03:32.700 bit as well is that a lot of there's a seems to be this fashion now for women wearing quite baggy

00:03:37.120 clothes have you noticed like if you go to a shopping mall or something like that during the

00:03:41.180 daytime a lot of the women are wearing like quite baggy jeans quite baggy and and maybe less makeup 1.00

00:03:45.280 and stuff which sort of goes counter to that instagram thing in a way doesn't it because i think

00:03:49.740 just looking around the streets i think a lot of women are dressing up sort of a bit less 1.00

00:03:53.640 certainly during the daytime here but then if you go to say poland or if you go to ukraine or

00:03:59.920 something like prior to the you know the war um you would see a very different sort of story so

00:04:05.000 i think in the west it feels like um i don't want to say standards are falling but it seems like a

00:04:09.900 more casualness is sort of accepted into the women because i see more yoga pants and sweat i would say 1.00

00:04:15.140 i see more yoga pants and sweats than i did 20 like 10 years ago let's say when i was 26 when i was 16

00:04:21.380 you know it was like i don't know because you guys are different about yoga pants a little bit but in

00:04:26.500 the u.s they're like super common but i remember it was like a fight on facebook about if yoga pants

00:04:31.600 were acceptable in public i don't know if you guys have that here if that was just an american fight

00:04:36.980 i was in i was in la recently and i saw there was a lot of yoga pants going on down in sort of um

00:04:43.360 venice and venice beach and like places like that yeah so my question is if beauty standards are higher

00:04:49.220 and women respond to beauty standards why are women more overweight today and we dress up less 1.00

00:04:53.980 is that stats that you have by any chance yeah and the 19 and the 19 i mean there's no stat on

00:05:03.040 dressing up that's just anecdotal um but when it comes to weight only 10 of women were overweight in 0.99

00:05:07.680 the 40s where 60 of women in the uk are overweight 70 in america you gotta remember back in the olden 0.89

00:05:13.960 days they had this thing where they used to wear corsets in order to line their bodies

00:05:17.500 so they had this that was their trend you know that isn't the trend here so you gotta understand

00:05:24.320 that as times as society changes so does the trends i guess no yeah but my question is more

00:05:30.320 like if women respond to beauty standards and women actually cared about beauty standards like why are we 0.98

00:05:34.580 more overweight and we dress up less because of the food that we eat right but that kind of indicates

00:05:40.460 that we don't care as much as we say we do like because we're supposed to be under this immense

00:05:44.480 pressure right from society but it doesn't seem like our looks are getting better as a whole

00:05:49.480 i think again if you compare other societies because like before the you know the in the west

00:05:53.860 sorry but just just just just as a counterpoint though so when like in 2021 i was in spent quite a lot

00:06:00.380 of time in in russia and then and then also in ukraine prior to what's happening now and um it is a

00:06:05.940 very different story though you do get a lot of women who are very elegant they're still wearing 0.98

00:06:09.120 you know maybe heels slightly less during the daytime but you know what i mean very very elegant

00:06:14.320 wearing dresses all the time but very very feminine in a way that you don't see so much here

00:06:19.820 and i think that's got something to do with feminism to be honest or at least the the tide of 1.00

00:06:27.460 because society is telling women you you don't have to make why you don't have to make an effort for 1.00

00:06:32.300 it sounds very crude but you don't have to make an effort for men right because why should you 0.92

00:06:36.440 right because you are you're enough in yourself okay um and and i think that's got something to do

00:06:42.140 with it to be to be honest you know i don't think society is and i'm not saying society should be

00:06:46.780 compelling women to do that but i don't think it is whereas i think in some of those other countries 1.00

00:06:50.720 that are arguably a little bit more patriarchal let's say um there is still that pressure and so

00:06:56.480 women are dressing up more and also they have to compete with one another because otherwise if 1.00

00:07:00.040 you're the the girl who's you know just just not not bothering and everyone else is then you're

00:07:04.200 going to kind of get left to the side aren't you so yeah i think it just actually you know you

00:07:08.600 raised a very good point because feminism you know with feminism women's and like oh i can do 1.00

00:07:13.480 whatever i want when i want how i want so like you know i can under dress myself no one should judge

00:07:19.540 me for that and i think that it's a little bit too much but it's interesting because feminists 1.00

00:07:23.640 complain the most about beauty standards but it just seems like they care the least about them

00:07:27.760 well their view that wouldn't their view just be like well i don't have to bother because

00:07:32.880 why would i let a man dictate how i look yeah but that's not yeah they'll say they'll say oh women 1.00

00:07:39.680 have such high beauty standards it's so hard for women because of the beauty standards instagram 1.00

00:07:44.160 and you know well i could sympathize it's like if we really cared wouldn't we be more put together

00:07:49.280 and way less

00:07:50.560 i agree this point i think it's because there's a lot of activists now and feminism and they're trying

00:07:57.780 to prove that they feel like all women do what they do for men but some people do things for

00:08:03.620 themselves yeah but because there's that lining of doing things for men a lot of feminist feminisms 1.00

00:08:10.420 now are like they don't want to do it just because they feel like it's doing it for a man

00:08:16.820 is it even such a bad thing even if they were doing it for men though because like you get guys

00:08:19.940 definitely not get guys who work who work out because they want they want to look ripped for

00:08:23.780 for women yeah so yeah it wouldn't be the terrible to be honest yeah it's like everyone wants to be

00:08:30.260 liked in a way yeah it's like if you know if you like someone and you want to you know wear something

00:08:34.980 and you think yeah no no i'm wearing this just you know you want to feel good but you also you know

00:08:40.980 want to yeah be nice for other people yeah i think whose beauty standards are higher men or women 1.00

00:08:49.780 i think it depends okay wait i want to make a rule no it depends you have to pick one pick one

00:09:03.140 pick one and tell me why

00:09:06.980 i think maybe men have higher beauty standards i think okay they see a lot of women and they now

00:09:14.020 begin to compare make comparisons between different types of women and it's like when they see a 1.00

00:09:18.260 particular woman look in a particular way if they would compare another woman to the woman that

00:09:24.340 they've seen but you think that men have higher standards for women not that the men have the

00:09:28.900 higher standards they have to live up to just to clarify i think men have higher standards for women

00:09:33.380 for women so like the women have higher beauty standards to me yes and that's what's making women 1.00

00:09:39.460 feel like they need to comply with these standards who's pickier men or women

00:09:44.180 men definitely yeah yeah what what percent of the time do you think men swipe right on dating apps

00:09:53.300 when does what sorry yeah what percent of the time probably 70 percent

00:09:59.700 what percent of the time do you think women swipe right on dating apps i think about the same 1.00

00:10:04.740 do you know what i would be percent i think women women are more complacent than men 1.00

00:10:08.820 are more complacent yeah i think they accept more than men do you think men are very like if they've

00:10:14.420 they've got a certain standard and they're more rigid than women you think men are pickier than 1.00

00:10:19.220 women 100 definitely yeah okay what percent of the time do you think men swipe right on dating apps

00:10:25.300 70 or even 80. i think it's a high percentage 70. it's really high i think it's a low percentage

00:10:31.060 that men's so men swipe right um 60 to 70 percent of the time where women what percent of the time

00:10:37.300 do you think they swipe right oh wait no sorry i think it's 45 percent i'm sorry i misspoke that's

00:10:41.620 it's about 45 to 50 not for men yeah for men um what percent of the time do you think women

00:10:46.500 swipe right probably like much less yeah i would say like 10 percent 70 to 80 i don't know i would say

00:10:53.700 70 to 80. what do you think do you know this you have to know this stat well it is around that isn't

00:10:58.260 it is about 20 percent five percent five percent yeah i was actually i was i thought the male one

00:11:05.460 was actually going to be a bit higher to be honest because a lot of guys well not a lot of guys but

00:11:09.460 guys have sometimes have this strategy before the algorithm started clamping down that they would just

00:11:13.700 swipe on everything and then see what came through you know it depends what study you look at yeah

00:11:18.100 but how could you say that women are or that men are pickier if women only swipe right five percent

00:11:22.660 of the time do you know why because they're talking about the they're talking about the top one

00:11:26.020 percent men aren't they those top one percent men those chads they're really picky but that's

00:11:31.060 all they're bothered about they're not bothered about the other guys who aren't getting a look at

00:11:33.540 anyway yeah the top five percent of men 10 what what percent of men do you guys think are sexually active

00:11:39.780 a hundred percent as many of you know i was just banned on tick tock and we are demonetized on a daily
