00:00:00.000 what are beauty standards for me i okay i'm gonna say that it does come from within however i'd be
00:00:06.560 lying if i would say that you don't look at beauty like you can tell in the uk but like
00:00:11.800 who is attractive and who isn't you just know that so to say that it comes from within i think yes
00:00:19.180 that's the general statement for anyone to make because nobody wants to sound like oh they're
00:00:23.360 being shallow but realistically speaking the majority of society are shallow you do look at
00:00:29.440 people and what they look like yeah okay so you would say it's based on looks yeah it is what
00:00:35.260 what metrics would you use to measure someone's beauty um for me personally um is it men or women
00:00:44.300 uh women women um it would for me i look at a woman's if i can strip back everything in terms of
00:00:50.820 like the makeup the hair the the nails and to me i can see her as beautiful then she's beautiful but
00:00:57.700 that's just me again my preference okay uh what do you think troy what are beauty standards
00:01:03.060 i mean look i think it's entirely physical to be honest i don't want to sound cynical here but i
00:01:09.120 think that's what people look at i think it's nice to say it's from within and there's yeah sure i mean
00:01:14.040 there's some truth in that but i think let's let's let's be let's be real the dating marketplace it's a
00:01:18.920 kind of a jungle out there right what are people looking at they're looking at the aesthetics right
00:01:22.500 they're looking at the surface now that's not to say that you meet somebody and maybe they have a
00:01:28.020 really obnoxious personality and you think actually i'm put off from that or they've got something about
00:01:32.640 them that that's really great and you guys click and that adds something to it 100 that's that's
00:01:36.920 definitely true but let's let's be honest right it's a surface level thing there are there are
00:01:40.460 aesthetic standards and that's what people mean when they're talking about beauty
00:01:44.540 i don't think the standards are particularly high in the uk but that's just that's just me though
00:01:51.920 guys sorry for men as well for men as well for men as well for men as well yeah if you go to miami
00:02:01.200 you get humbled real quick well miami but also like latin america i mean eastern europe all those places
00:02:08.180 oh yeah yeah i went to a wedding in germany it was like all the girls were like literally stunning
00:02:13.960 yeah um okay what do you think yeah i do agree i feel like it is based on how a woman looks i feel
00:02:22.400 like as she mentioned if a woman's got her nails done hair done you've got yourself together men do
00:02:27.440 like that it is you know quite obvious as well a man especially a regular man in the uk i don't feel
00:02:33.320 like they would go for just a basic looking woman yeah they would go for a woman who's you know got
00:02:39.600 themselves put together got their nails done they look good and yeah i don't really agree when
00:02:45.440 they said that it's within it's just my opinion anyways i feel like if someone looks good then
00:02:50.420 that's what attracts attracts men as well yeah what do you think um i agree to an extent with who
00:02:57.980 i definitely feel as though beauty is an attraction i feel like if someone's attracted to you they're
00:03:08.340 gonna think you're beautiful regardless however i do not agree that um just because you're well done
00:03:14.420 up that then implicates that you're beautiful you know i don't have no makeup on now i'm very much
00:03:21.780 beautiful um i don't need makeup to define my beauty um i think um yeah i don't need makeup to
00:03:28.820 define my beauty however you know i do definitely feel like you have to be attracted to someone in
00:03:35.680 order for you to think that they are beautiful do you guys think that beauty standards are higher
00:03:42.880 were higher 100 years ago or today today definitely today today definitely today is there anyone that
00:03:49.920 thinks they were higher 100 years ago anyone no because if you look back at old black and white
00:03:53.540 photographs from the victorian era and then you look at you just do a scroll through instagram now
00:03:57.660 i mean i mean like it's night and day in terms of in terms of hotness and i think that's down to a
00:04:01.300 number of things it's like to do with nutrition it's to do with fitness it's to do with the fact
00:04:05.080 that we're all encouraged to work out now uh makeup you know clothing there's so many different things
00:04:10.560 bits of surgery and procedures and stuff i mean there's so many different things that come into it so i think
00:04:15.380 yeah definitely overall you know people are more aesthetically pleasing now it was probably only the
00:04:21.040 rich people that were super hot back in there that's what i was gonna say i was gonna say i
00:04:24.880 feel like um things are more accessible now so yeah makeup is like it's you know less i don't know
00:04:30.840 about pricing but i feel like surgery is more accessible to people and stuff yeah and i feel like
00:04:35.320 that's probably why the standards are a little bit higher yeah do women respond when beauty standards go
00:04:41.080 higher do you think that women do you feel like we like step up to the plate we yeah yeah and how
00:04:47.020 how do we respond typically we follow the trend yeah we we follow the trend what trends so like the
00:04:56.760 bbl trend that's happening at the moment i feel like it's going down now but um yeah i guess we just
00:05:01.560 follow the trend like um what else is it like makeup yeah i disagree a little bit because i don't follow
00:05:12.020 like all the latest trends all the time sometimes it's overwhelming to me so i try to do what is best
00:05:18.820 for me and obviously we live in this society where social media is like is everything so everyone is
00:05:25.320 bombarded with all these images but it doesn't mean that i'm gonna follow any single trend that's up
00:05:29.960 there because it's overwhelming to me so um does beauty standards include weight yes to an extent
00:05:36.680 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
00:05:43.560 anymore i feel like um i feel like all shapes and sizes right now i might be wrong are accepted so um
00:05:50.840 i just feel like for me personally it's based on how well how well you keep yourself and how put together
00:05:56.200 you look not about your size that's just me personally do you think men think the same thing
00:06:00.040 yeah i actually i actually think so i actually yeah i think it depends yeah yeah no but in general so
00:06:09.240 we could talk about in general would you say men care or they don't care about weight in general
00:06:13.960 care hence why girls are out here doing bbls i think it depends on nobody i don't think it's
00:06:18.840 is bbl the bum thing yeah yeah yeah yeah do you think women are more put together today than 100
00:06:28.600 years ago definitely yeah definitely yeah i don't know you look at some old some of these old pictures
00:06:36.360 though seriously you see like these dusty old like photographs sometimes you see i mean they're not
00:06:40.840 looking good you know the ladies weren't representing back then you know what i mean then back then it
00:06:45.640 might have been a thing that's how they were meant to look yeah it's true it's true yeah those days
00:06:50.600 were like oh yeah they're beautiful yeah yeah it's true look at them now but back then yeah she was hot
00:06:59.080 it was more natural though back in the days it was like you know beauty is like today's like oh you
00:07:03.800 need to be the perfect the perfect maker and i don't think they cared much but don't you think the one
00:07:07.960 thing i've observed like here and also in the states a little bit as well is that a lot of there's
00:07:12.440 a seems to be this fashion now for women wearing quite baggy clothes have you noticed like if you
00:07:16.680 go to a shopping mall or something like that during the daytime a lot of the women are wearing like
00:07:20.200 quite baggy jeans quite baggy and and maybe less makeup and stuff which sort of goes counter to that
00:07:25.560 instagram thing in a way doesn't it because i think just looking around the streets i think a lot of
00:07:29.480 women are dressing up sort of a bit less certainly during the daytime here but then if you go to say
00:07:35.400 poland or if you go to ukraine or something like well prior to the you know the war um you would
00:07:41.000 see a very different sort of story so i think in the west it feels like um i don't say standards are
00:07:46.520 falling but it seems like a more casualness is sort of accepted into for women because i see more yoga
00:07:51.400 pants and sweat i would say i see more yoga pants and sweats than i did 20 like 10 years ago let's say
00:07:57.240 when i was 26 when i was 16. you know it was like i don't know because you guys are different about yoga
00:08:03.240 pants a little bit but in the us they're like super common but i remember it was like a fight
00:08:07.720 on facebook about if yoga pants were acceptable in public i don't know if you guys have that here
00:08:13.160 if that was just an american fight i was in i was in la recently and i saw there was a lot of yoga
00:08:19.240 pants going on down in sort of um venice and venice beach and like places like that yeah so my question
00:08:25.400 is if beauty standards are higher and women respond to beauty standards why are women more overweight
00:08:30.440 today and we dress up less is that stats that you have by any chance yeah and the 19 i mean there's
00:08:39.960 no stat on dressing up that's just anecdotal um but when it comes to weight only 10 of women were
00:08:44.920 overweight in the 40s where 60 of women in the uk are overweight 70 in america you gotta remember
00:08:50.920 that in the olden days they had this thing where they used to wear corsets in order to line their
00:08:54.920 bodies so they had this that was their trend you know that isn't the trend here so you gotta understand
00:09:02.120 that as times as society changes so does the trends i guess no yeah but my question is more like if
00:09:08.360 women respond to beauty standards and women actually cared about beauty standards like why are we more
00:09:12.520 overweight and we dress up less because of the food that we eat right but that kind of indicates that
00:09:18.360 we don't care as much as we say we do like because we're supposed to be under this immense pressure
00:09:22.840 right from society but it doesn't seem like our looks are getting better as a whole i think again
00:09:28.440 if you compare other societies because like before the you know the in the west sorry but just yeah
00:09:33.320 just just as a counterpoint though so when like in 2021 i was in spent quite a lot of time in in russia
00:09:39.400 and then and then also in ukraine prior to what's happening now and um it is a very different story
00:09:44.200 though you do get a lot of women who are very elegant they're still wearing you know maybe heels
00:09:49.640 slightly less during the daytime but you know what i mean very very elegant wearing dresses all the
00:09:52.840 time but very very feminine in a way that you don't see so much here and i think that's got
00:10:00.360 something to do with feminism to be honest or at least the the tide of because society is telling
00:10:06.840 women you you don't have to make why you don't have to make an effort for it sounds very crude but
00:10:11.800 you don't have to make an effort for men right because why should you right because you are you're enough in
00:10:15.960 yourself okay um and and i think that's got something to do with it to be to be honest you
00:10:21.080 know i don't think society is and i'm not saying society should be compelling women to do that but
00:10:25.880 i don't think it is whereas i think in some of those other countries that are arguably a little bit more
00:10:30.440 patriarchal let's say um there is still that pressure and so women are dressing up more and
00:10:35.160 also they have to compete with one another because otherwise if you're the the girl who's you know just
00:10:39.560 just not not bothering and everyone else is then you're gonna kind of get left to the side aren't you
