Beauty in general is a blessing or a curse? I asked the men to list their top 5 hottest women from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. And I actually wanted to follow the lifespan of some celebrities to see how their lives turned out.

00:00:00.000 So I had a question. I wanted to ponder this question. So I had a tweet. So I had a question.
00:00:04.480 I wanted to know, is beauty in general a blessing or a curse? And so I asked the men to list your
00:00:10.180 top five hottest women from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000. And I actually wanted to follow the
00:00:15.700 lifespan of some of these celebrities. I'm going to guess how their lives turned out. Some of them
00:00:20.120 I'm going to know, some of them I don't. And so we took some of the lists that the guys gave us.
00:00:25.100 Don't shoot the messenger. This is not my list. This is just some of the ones that people gave us.
00:00:29.540 And I want to see how these women's lives turned out and if they ended up married. So Kim Kardashian
00:00:35.380 is currently dating NFL star Odell Beckham. Okay. Before that, she dated Pete Davidson.
00:00:44.580 Before that, she dated Kanye. Before that, she was married to, or sorry, she was married to Kanye,
00:00:51.400 then married to Chris Humphries, then baseball player Gabrielle Aubrey, or then she was dating
00:00:58.920 Reggie Bush. And then she was married to Damon Thomas. So on one hand, they do get access to the
00:01:07.500 highest quality of men. But here you see, it's very tough for women at the upper levels of beauty,
00:01:14.560 fame, and attention to settle down. The next woman that the men listed was Angelina Jolie. So Angelina
00:01:20.540 Jolie is currently rumored to be dating Irish actor Paul Meskel. From 1996 to 1999, she dated Johnny Lee
00:01:29.020 Miller. From 2000 to 2003, she dated Billy Bob Thornton. And from 2014 to 2019, she was married to the one and
00:01:38.080 only Brad Pitt. And so you start to ask the question, is beauty really a blessing or a curse? Because a common
00:01:45.720 thing that I've gotten from men is women that are ranked from eights to 10s tend to be useless because 1.00
00:01:50.560 they've lived their whole life on easy mode. Both of these women had four children, I believe, or four
00:01:56.460 plus children. And both of these women are still really living like they're in their 20s. And the reason 1.00
00:02:03.160 is because they're beautiful enough that they really still can. The next woman we have is Pamela Anderson. 1.00
00:02:09.500 She dated Tommy Lee from 1995 to 1998. Then she dated Kid Rock from 2006 to 2007. Then, oh, I got it.
00:02:18.900 Okay, she's pretty attractive. What did she do to her hair there? Why do women do? I cannot stand it when 1.00
00:02:25.360 women cut off their hair. It does not look good. Okay, she dates Rick Salomon from 2007 to 2008 and 2014 0.99
00:02:32.960 to 2015. John Peters in 2020. And then, oh, they're actually a good couple. They look good together.
00:02:40.580 That didn't work out. And now she's dating Dan Hayhurst from 2020 to 2022. Okay, so right now she is
00:02:48.060 married. It's only been two years, but if I had to predict it, I don't really see it working out.
00:02:55.660 But again, you really don't see like a long, successful, happy relationship here. You see
00:03:01.500 a string of bad relationships after bad relationships. Okay, so Heidi Klum's current 1.00
00:03:07.120 relationship. Heidi Klum is currently married to musician Tom Holtz. They have been married since
00:03:13.000 2019. Before that, in 1997 to 2002, she dated Rick Hipkino. Before that, she dated Flavio
00:03:23.020 Briatore. These women really do have types. She likes like a wealthy old guy. 2004 to 2005, 0.99
00:03:30.900 she dated Flavio. And Seal, she dated the longest. Maybe she doesn't have a type. Look
00:03:37.520 at that. 2005 to 2014. Wait, go back through these again. I was thinking because she sort
00:03:43.200 of had a type there. They kind of were the same type. Go back. Very wide range. Wide range.
00:03:49.940 So out of the four we've done originally, two are married right now. So Heidi Klum and Pamela
00:03:55.200 Anderson. Both have been married for two years. So I think it's kind of still too soon to see
00:04:00.940 how it plays out. So the next woman that they list is Natalie Portman. And Natalie Portman
00:04:05.260 is married to a French choreographer, Benjamin Mile Millie Pied from 2012 to present. So she's
00:04:13.180 been married the longest. I would say out of the four, that's the closest to a, like, I would
00:04:18.620 say a success because I don't, I don't think you can really, I don't know, two years is just a little
00:04:25.600 too early for me to qualify that, you know, she got the happily ever after. Natalie Portman, 0.52
00:04:32.880 she really has a very classic beauty. She really does. That's like a wife beauty. Before her current 1.00
00:04:38.800 husband, she was rumored to have dated. What the? These women's types, let me tell you. 1.00
00:04:48.280 Musician Moby. And before that, she had a brief relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 2006.
00:04:55.340 Oh, wow. That guy, Taylor Swift dated and wrote all these songs about him. I only know him from Taylor
00:05:01.840 Swift songs. Oh, he was so pissed. Is there someone before that? I'm going to qualify.
00:05:09.700 Success is 10 years married, maybe plus. So the last person we have is Selma Hayek, 1.00
00:05:16.380 and she is currently married to a billionaire.
00:05:20.880 Okay, well, I'm going to say it was a blessing for her. From 2009 to present. So she's been married
00:05:27.240 the longest. It's so interesting that women that the men pick as the most beautiful women 0.78
00:05:32.280 and like the women that I would pick, because honestly, I think the only woman I would pick from
00:05:37.460 this. Maybe Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, maybe Heidi Klum. Okay. But it's interesting,
00:05:44.380 because I wouldn't pick for this one. Before that, she was linked to actor Edward Norton,
00:05:49.240 1999 to 2000. And before that, she was engaged to actor Josh Lucas, 2000. Oh, okay. She's actually
00:05:57.320 quite beautiful there. I'm going back and forth, guys. Engaged to actor Josh Lucas, 2003 to 2004.
00:06:04.580 So let's see. Out of the five women that we did, four were married. So I would guess that two are
00:06:13.200 married long enough for it to count. Is it a blessing or a curse to be insanely beautiful?
00:06:17.980 Do you think most of these women will have happy endings? Let me know in the comments. It's an idea 1.00
00:06:23.300 I'm kind of playing with, because I could really argue both sides. On one hand, these women do have 1.00
00:06:29.200 access to the men that women typically respect, where the average woman typically does not have
00:06:34.380 the same access and ability to get commitment. But on the other hand, these women have access to so 0.89
00:06:39.900 many different types of men that are on such a high level that I do think hypergamy will kind of kick in
00:06:46.900 for a lot of them.
