00:00:00.000You raised a very good point because feminism, you know, with feminism, women are like, oh, I can do whatever I want, when I want, how I want.
00:00:07.620So like, you know, I can underdress myself. No one should judge me for that.
00:00:11.780And I think that it's a little bit too much.
00:00:13.880But it's interesting because feminists complain the most about beauty standards, but it just seems like they care the least about them.
00:00:20.420Well, wouldn't their view just be like, well, I don't have to bother because why would I let a man dictate how I look?
00:00:27.280Yeah, well, that's not. Yeah, they'll say, they'll say, oh, women have such high beauty standards.
00:00:32.780It's so hard for women because of the beauty standards, Instagram.
00:00:36.520And, you know, well, I can sympathize. It's like, if we really cared, wouldn't we be more put together and way less?
00:00:44.100I agree with this point. I think it's because there's a lot of activists now and feminism and they're trying to prove that.
00:00:50.280They feel like all women do what they do for men. Some people do things for themselves.
00:00:55.740Yeah. But because there's that lining of doing things for men, a lot of feminisms now are like, they don't want to do it just because they feel like it's doing it for a man.
00:01:08.400Is it even such a bad thing if they were doing it for men, though? Because like you get guys who work out because they want to look ripped for women.
00:01:15.980Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it wouldn't be that terrible, to be honest.
00:01:20.500Yeah. It's like everyone wants to be liked in a way.
00:01:22.760Yeah. Yeah. It's like if you know, if you like someone and you want to, you know, wear something and you think it's going to be attractive.
00:01:28.480Yeah. No, no, no, I'm wearing this. Just, you know, you want to feel good, but you also, you know, want to be nice for other people.
00:01:51.320You have to pick one. Pick one. Pick one and tell me why.
00:01:58.400I think maybe men have higher beauty standards.
00:02:01.540I think it's because they see a lot of women and they now begin to compare, make comparisons between different types of women.
00:02:08.900And it's like when they see a particular woman look in a particular way, it's they would compare another woman to the woman that they've seen.
00:02:16.800But you think that men have higher standards for women, not that the men have the higher standards they have to live up to, just to clarify.
00:02:23.160I think men have higher standards for women.
00:02:25.180For women. So like the women have higher beauty standards to me.
00:02:27.760Yes. And that's, what's making women feel like they need to comply with these standards.
00:03:54.980I was actually, I thought the male one was actually going to be a bit higher, to be honest, because a lot of guys, well, not a lot of guys, but guys have sometimes have this strategy before the algorithm started clamping down that they would just swipe on everything and then see what came through, you know?
00:07:50.520I think looks-wise, it has got tougher for guys.
00:07:52.380And I think, you know, maybe you could say, well, we've had it coming because the guys were sort of like for a long time.
00:07:58.180The looks focus was very much on women.
00:08:00.540But I think now, very much on guys, really.
00:08:03.940You know, again, look through Instagram, dudes with six packs, chiseled, you know, features, all the rest of it.
00:08:09.580And the way that social media has worked and the way that the dating apps has worked has meant that women are now looking at these apps and they're looking at all these, like, top guys, you know, top percentile guys are like, oh, that guy's super hot.
00:08:21.060And then the bloke who doesn't have those attributes doesn't measure up.
00:08:24.640So she's thinking, well, I want this guy at the top.
00:08:27.140So now guys are being encouraged to level up, you know, which is not altogether a bad thing, right?
00:08:33.120Because self-improvement is good for everybody.
00:08:34.660You know, we should all be doing what we can do to improve ourselves every day, right?
00:08:37.660But at the same time, I think it has got tougher for guys.
00:08:40.360And then in a society like here, like in the UK, there's a lot of guys who are very thirsty and, you know, and they will, they will drop their standards, you know?
00:09:33.220But to answer the question, you have to be prepared to go through a lot of rejection, you know?
00:09:37.840Like, if you're an average guy and you're going to talk to a woman in a coffee shop or, you know, a bar or bookstore or the grocery store, whatever it is, you know, you are going to go through rejection.
00:09:48.240In fact, rejection is the rule and the exception really is to get accepted.
00:09:56.240You know, it's a question of accepting that, being OK with that, being confident and working on yourself every day in order to be the best possible man that you can be.
00:10:03.420But, yeah, a lot of rejection, for sure, for people.
00:10:08.320I was going to say, well, at least a man has options.
00:10:10.440I feel like women, our options are very, very limited.
00:10:13.680So even if a man is getting rejected, at least he knows, OK, fine, I can find another woman who is maybe, like, a woman that I'm interested in.
00:10:20.240But for a woman, it's very, very difficult.
00:10:23.080I feel like the options for men are very, very low.
