00:00:00.000 Because otherwise they could, you know, commit suicide or something.
00:00:02.280 Do you go to a basketball game and look to see, like an NBA game?
00:00:07.820 What do you guys have?
00:00:08.520 It's football, right?
00:00:09.340 Football here.
00:00:09.960 You go to a football game here and you try to see average football players.
00:00:14.080 Average?
00:00:14.540 Like below average football players play football here when you go to a professional game.
00:00:19.020 Do we see them?
00:00:19.660 No, do you go there to see that?
00:00:21.320 Oh, well, no.
00:00:22.740 So then why on the cover of magazines, which is supposed to be the epitome of beauty, do
00:00:26.400 we have below average women on it?
00:00:28.000 Right.
00:00:29.320 Like why?
00:00:29.740 Like, why is that?
00:00:30.900 Why do we need that?
00:00:32.380 I feel ashamed that I don't like it.
00:00:34.300 I don't want to see it.
00:00:35.100 I think you're right about the fact that they're doing it to, because, you know, if you want
00:00:39.180 to talk about the health system and the way the world's set up, they don't want people
00:00:41.860 to come out of a BCE.
00:00:44.080 Right.
00:00:44.320 So they're going to make it look like it's okay.
00:00:46.400 They don't want you to.
00:00:47.380 So why wouldn't we have healthy people on the front of magazines?
00:00:50.140 I'm not saying like.
00:00:50.720 Because they don't want that.
00:00:51.580 Yeah.
00:00:51.980 Yeah.
00:00:52.200 But you said we need that earlier.
00:00:53.940 No, but I was saying that for the people that don't actually fit.
00:00:57.320 I think in my head, I'm thinking for the people that actually, because a person that actually
00:01:01.280 cannot overcome obesity, and for the rest of their life, till the age of 60, 70, they're
00:01:05.960 still going to be overweight.
00:01:07.780 Those people are probably feeling, yes, like they're feeling okay.
00:01:10.840 They're empowered.
00:01:11.880 That's not a thing.
00:01:12.380 Would you rather be empowered than commit suicide?
00:01:15.020 Because people think, ugh, look at you, you're fat.
00:01:17.600 But when you're overeating, you're slowly committing suicide.
00:01:20.680 Exactly.
00:01:21.300 My mother did it.
00:01:22.340 Wow.
00:01:23.080 She died.
00:01:24.160 Wow.
00:01:24.660 I was five months old.
00:01:25.420 Her cause of death was severe obesity.
00:01:27.140 And then when my daughter started gaining the weight, I was freaking out.
00:01:30.300 Right.
00:01:31.040 And so that's why we're on a mission.
00:01:32.880 Yeah.
00:01:33.060 But don't you think there's a certain level, though?
00:01:34.600 Obviously, there's obesity and there's, because I feel like the modeling world has always promoted
00:01:40.400 unhealthy, unhealthiness, if that makes sense.
00:01:42.580 Even the slim women, slim women with like six and like very small, do you know what I'm
00:01:47.080 saying?
00:01:47.380 That would, it looked like they weren't eating at a certain time.
00:01:49.100 I don't think so.
00:01:49.120 If you look at, I always hear that, but I like, I look at Marilyn Monroe, she was healthy.
00:01:53.200 Yeah, but they're talking about one person, though.
00:01:54.540 There's a lot of, a lot of women in the modeling world was very slim and they wouldn't eat or
00:01:59.020 they wouldn't do something just to fit in a certain category, do you know what I'm saying?
00:02:01.640 I mean, there was some, but I just, maybe for like an early 2000s, but I think if you
00:02:06.380 look at the last like 100 years, I think most women on the covers were just objectively beautiful.
00:02:11.960 What's the average weight you would say?
00:02:14.360 Let's see.
00:02:15.400 I don't know off the top of my head.
00:02:16.780 I mean, as a Ford model, the girls who were in straight size modeling, they were size four.
00:02:21.300 And that's because the samples are made in a size four.
00:02:24.820 Is your four different from UK four?
00:02:26.920 Oh yeah, it is a bit.
00:02:28.540 Yeah, but more like a two.
00:02:30.000 I think it would be more like a two.
00:02:31.080 Two hair.
00:02:32.140 The average, the average woman.
00:02:33.920 She's gone.
00:02:35.140 Okay, the average woman is five four.
00:02:37.800 I'm in America and I can do UK in a second.
00:02:39.980 Five four, 20 years old and weighs 170 pounds.
00:02:44.020 What's that in stone, please?
00:02:45.640 The pounds.
00:02:46.240 Okay, okay.
00:02:47.080 Close my mouth.
00:02:50.580 Average stones.
00:02:52.400 I don't actually know.
00:02:53.200 But that's overweight.
00:02:59.800 I would say that that average that she just quoted would be over.
00:03:01.880 12 stone.
00:03:02.940 12, 12.14 stone.
00:03:04.580 Okay.
00:03:05.020 Because I would think that average is between eight to 12.
00:03:07.760 I think if you're in a good in shape 12, there's good in shape 12 women.
00:03:12.880 Anything above that, then we're talking obesity.
00:03:15.360 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:03:16.660 I mean, I think it's BMI.
00:03:19.100 To be honest, sorry.
00:03:20.140 To be honest, it depends.
00:03:21.500 I think like around 10 years ago, it used to be way different.
00:03:27.660 I think now they kind of raised it.
00:03:29.860 A little bit.
00:03:30.340 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:31.340 10 years ago, I went.
00:03:33.400 I don't know.
00:03:33.840 I was like 65 kilos.
00:03:35.280 I don't know what that is.
00:03:36.220 Sorry.
00:03:36.440 In stones.
00:03:38.700 It must be like 165 in America.
00:03:42.660 2.2 to 1.
00:03:43.620 Yeah.
00:03:44.140 And they would already say, oh, you should try to lose weight, you know, for your height,
00:03:48.360 whatever.
00:03:49.100 Now, if you look at that, they're like, yeah, you're perfect.
00:03:51.880 You can be a model.
00:03:53.000 Yeah.
00:03:53.160 So it really changed in the last decade, I would say.
00:03:56.840 Really, it did.
00:03:57.500 So it was about around 10 years ago, was there plus size models?
00:04:00.940 Is that a new thing?
00:04:01.960 I'll be honest.
00:04:02.620 Not really.
00:04:03.560 There definitely were on America's Next Top Model.
00:04:05.780 I mean, it wasn't that as common, though.
00:04:07.680 But I definitely, I used to watch Tyra Banks.
00:04:10.860 Anyone?
00:04:11.260 Yeah.
00:04:11.820 Anyone?
00:04:12.560 There was some.
00:04:13.620 But they weren't like the super.
00:04:17.820 Yeah.
00:04:18.100 Yeah.
00:04:18.320 Like you see today, they're just kind of like, they're like 10s.
00:04:21.220 Big boned.
00:04:22.680 10s, all right.
00:04:24.700 10s not big.
00:04:25.840 No, 10s not big at all.
00:04:27.600 12s.
00:04:27.960 For the modeling industry.
00:04:29.180 Like this one, I'm saying for the modeling world, that's quite big, yeah.
00:04:31.640 But again, it's like when you go to an NBA game, I want to see good basketball players.
00:04:35.600 Like it's supposed to be the epitome of beauty.
00:04:38.140 But now we're rewarding average looking.
00:04:40.440 I don't want to see average chicks like faces on the cover of magazines.
00:04:43.760 Why don't I want to see average bodies?
00:04:45.820 I hear that.
00:04:46.160 But if she's a good, I'm not saying plus plus, but if she's a good size 12 with good curves in that, men don't want to see that.
00:04:52.720 We don't really want to just see slim girls all the time.
00:04:54.700 I'll be honest.
00:04:55.060 I believe that.
00:04:55.700 I believe that some men like that.
00:04:57.560 I really do.
00:04:58.420 To be honest, it's typically broke men.
00:05:01.180 Because if you look at rich men, yeah, yeah.
00:05:03.300 If you look at, like, it's so Catholic.
00:05:04.920 Like, I'm just, I don't like liars.
00:05:06.780 No offense.
00:05:07.440 But it's like, when you see rich men, what do they have on their arms?
00:05:11.500 Slim women.
00:05:11.760 But the only reason why they have slim women is because the slim women are in the higher echelons of places where the other women.
00:05:19.940 No, not in beauty.
00:05:20.640 No, let's not talk about beauty only.
00:05:22.040 I'm talking about venues, certain venues, certain places that they get to go to.
00:05:26.660 Certain women can't get to go there.
00:05:28.320 Do you get what I'm saying?
00:05:29.100 You're telling me, Leonardo DiCaprio, if he wanted a big chick, he couldn't find one.
00:05:33.340 No, he can find one.
00:05:34.500 But I'm saying in certain, the venue, the events.
00:05:37.180 No, half these guys get their chicks from Instagram.
00:05:40.420 Come on.
00:05:41.760 They can get any chick they want.
00:05:44.120 Yeah, they can.
00:05:45.200 But do you think Leonardo's just getting in bare girls DMs, just hollering girls in their DMs?
00:05:49.520 No.
00:05:49.760 I think if he wants, I think he'll pick, like, he hollered at that one chick, the Hadid.
00:05:56.420 Who's that?
00:05:56.760 Oh.
00:05:58.200 Gigi.
00:05:58.760 Hadid?
00:05:59.180 Gigi.
00:05:59.600 Oh, Gigi.
00:06:00.500 The model, yeah.
00:06:01.240 Gigi.
00:06:01.680 I don't know what I'm saying.
00:06:03.080 It's like, if you look at the richest, most successful men, they typically have slim women.
00:06:06.960 I'm saying, if you're looking at the richest parts of events and venues,
00:06:10.620 Mayfair, whatever, and America, Manhattan, whatever, if you go to the upper echelons of
00:06:16.240 places, they've got to be, you know what I'm saying?
00:06:17.820 Do you really think that the only reason they're with slim, beautiful women is because of the events they go to?
00:06:24.020 No, but I'm saying because of the environment that they're in.
00:06:26.980 I think that was because that is society's ideal of a beautiful woman.
00:06:31.540 That's why.
00:06:32.300 And so I feel like the plus model came in when people started complaining that there wasn't a selection of variety of different sizes.
00:06:38.000 But then why is it that all around the world, they like young, beautiful, slim women everywhere, even in different societies with completely different cultures.
00:06:47.280 Please, please do not bring up this one fringent tribe in Africa.
00:06:52.500 Everyone brings up, but it's like, it's such a small percentage of the world.
00:06:56.700 What, Africa?
00:06:57.680 There's something.
00:06:58.380 No, Africa's the biggest country in the world.
00:06:59.980 No, the tribe.
00:07:00.000 They bring up some tribe in Africa that likes the fat women, but it's a very, very, I've done this conversation.
00:07:05.840 But if you think, I hear that, but if you think about it, it's the motherland.
00:07:10.280 Please don't go be disingenuous.
00:07:11.280 You know, deep down, you know that men like slim women in general.
00:07:18.660 I'm going to be honest.
00:07:19.540 I don't think they do.
00:07:20.360 I'm going to be honest.
00:07:21.420 I don't, and I'm going to say this, coming from being a black man.
00:07:26.200 Okay.
00:07:26.540 If I'm talking about being a black man and from a black perspective of, I feel like majority of us men like thicker women.
00:07:34.040 Okay.
00:07:34.360 Well, and even.
00:07:35.420 Life will be Jordan.
00:07:35.940 No, no, no.
00:07:36.400 They have big cheeks on their arms.
00:07:37.200 But you keep talking about celebrity men that are going to be around higher women that, certain women.
00:07:43.140 I'm from a 1% family.
00:07:45.020 My dad, my dad, my dad is a top 1% earner.
00:07:47.300 I grew up around in a wealthy neighborhood.
00:07:48.940 I'm telling you, they do not put fat chicks on their arms.
00:07:51.500 I hear that.
00:07:51.820 In high class, in high class society and celebrities want people with the option to not have a fat chick on their arm.
00:07:57.960 Do not.
00:07:58.700 All right.
00:07:59.000 But what, even like I was having a conversation the other day with, with a woman and she was a slim woman.
00:08:03.840 She's from America as well.
00:08:05.180 She's American, I think like Atlanta or whatever.
00:08:08.520 And she said when she was slim, she was only getting approached by white men.
00:08:12.020 Okay.
00:08:12.520 She put, she put on a lot of weight.
00:08:14.000 No, not a lot of weight, but she's ticked, got body, whatever, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:16.960 Now she's getting approached by a lot of black men, which is what, do you get what I'm saying?
00:08:21.260 But I'm saying, if you, if you look at it on, on the Democrats thing.
00:08:24.820 Which, which successful black men that we know are dating fashions?
00:08:28.340 Are we only going to talk about successful men?
00:08:29.920 Yeah, because those are the men with options.
00:08:31.500 Broke men don't have as many options as rich men.
00:08:33.260 Broke men definitely have options.
00:08:34.020 They do not have as many options as rich men.
00:08:36.200 So if you look at the men with the most options to look, okay.
00:08:38.680 So if we want to see what women want, we got to look at the women with the most option.
00:08:41.640 Who do the most beautiful, the youngest, most fertile women pick?
00:08:45.360 If we want to look at men, what do men like?
00:08:47.160 We have to look at the men with the most options.
00:08:48.740 Because it's not really fair to say, oh, I like fat chicks.
00:08:51.060 If I make, you know, $10 an hour at Taco Bell, right?
00:08:54.460 Like you can't, you don't get it.
00:08:56.180 No, I get that.
00:08:56.680 I get that.
00:08:59.500 But obviously if you're going, if you're talking about celebrities, celebrities are guided.
00:09:03.380 No, I didn't, but I didn't just say celebrities.
00:09:05.140 I also said I'm from, my dad is in like, he's a top 1% earner.
00:09:10.180 I grew up with 10 siblings in a 10 bedroom mansion in a community where many people made
00:09:14.660 that amount of money.
00:09:15.880 Yeah.
00:09:16.060 So, so I've been around a successful wealthy men and they don't put fat chicks.
00:09:20.520 Sometimes they, they do get fat later, but they don't appreciate that.
00:09:24.200 You know what I mean?
00:09:24.700 So.
