I wouldn’t say attractive people tend to be aware of how important it is. I know this is purely anecdotal, but from what I’ve seen, most good looking people out there who tell you looks don’t matter and that it’s about confidence or charisma because they want to attribute their success to what they think that can control as opposed to giving all the credit to their genetics. It’s like how people who were born into riches try to tell the average Joe that he’ll be rich too if he just works hard enough and shoots for the stars or some bullshit like that

Right. All of the confidence in the world is not going to make you objectively attractive. All the hard work and sleepless nights isn’t going to make you rich if you work a low skill job. With attractiveness comes bountiful compliments to boost your confidence. With all the money in the world, it doesn’t matter if you work your ass off or slack, You’ll still be rich unless you’re bad with your money. There’s a lot of dishonesty when it comes to those things. Looks are important and generational wealth makes a difference

To me there has always been a stark difference between attractive and good looking. There are many physically appealing people, but often I do not find them attractive, even though I can see they're good looking (eg. Brad Pitt/Megan Fox). Then there's people who may not have extreme physical beauty, but everything about them is so attractive to me (eg. Gerard Butler/Barbra Streisand). Attraction is what I feel, beauty is what I see

A lot of the comments here seem to support the notion of being honest to others about their perceived physical attractiveness, but as someone who’s always been told from a young age to do xyz to become prettier or that I’m not pretty enough, I would never EVER mention people‘s physical flaws to their face. I think most people are already aware of their flaws and I‘d hate to cause insecurities about looks, since looks aren’t everything and don’t even last forever.

I doubt people go around telling humble or kind people that they're not that attractive only the ones who are arrogant.

So like even if someone's unattractive- if you keep bringing it up, making them insecure, purely based on my experience i feel like they'll then not appear as attractive to their full potential. (unrelated, but i have two mirrors in my house and the lighting a placement of them makes me look better in one than the other- so even though i know i remain the same as i am irl, i always leave my house after having looked at the mirror that makes me look good lol. confidence is importantt)

I overheard a group of about 10 pretty attractive women in a restaurant talking about how odd looking Robert Pattinson is. One commented he had weird eyes and teeth. These women weren't rude people they were incredibly polite and gracious to the waiters and they were all talking about their children at various points before anyone assumes they were a bunch of stuck up bimbos. This to me proves universal attractiveness doesn't exist there's probably women that think Brad Pitts face is average. People need to stop being so insecure about something we have literally no control over.

TBH I always thought people said 7/10 because of what it conveys, more than it's literal interpretation, at least in the casual setting. It says, hey, I acknowledge I am not the most attractive person in the room, but I have some self esteem. I think giving yourself a ranking below 6 or 5 can feel like you're asking people to feel bad for you or to pity you, and that can come across as unattractive in and of itself, rather than honest. Also I think, at least in the US, we have a heavy association with those numbers and grades, so 7/10 is a C or average, where 6 and below is a failing grade, even though 5/10 is in the middle on this scale. Of course for a study all these numbers would be defined and instructions would be given, but I do think causally when someone says they're a 7/10 they're not actually saying or thinking they're above average.

@@riorio745 I never advocated for self loathing. I advocate for self awareness, which stifles change. Your analogy was correct but it wasn't relevant. Of course personality matters and will make "a 4/10 better than an 4/10 without the personality." But a 6/10 with a 4/10 personality is going to be better than a 4/10 physically but a 6/10 personality. Physical appearance carries more weight than personality. It's going to be more efficient to improve your looks than to improve your personality. And attractiveness maybe "your overall vibe" but that overall vibe is primarily looks.

@@xijinping3331 I speak from experience: what you just said is absolute nonsense and the exact argument of an abuse apologist. I've never been a supermodel, but I was objectively more physically attractive when I was younger than I am now - and I was MISERABLE. Men only liked me for what they thought they could get, women resented me and that literally made me feel lower than dirt. When I put on weight, I stopped getting attention, but my confidence went up because I prioritised my EMOTIONAL HEALTH. Do I like my body? No. But I like MYSELF, and that's something outside opinions about my looks can't change. Being hygienic & pleasant is a very different enterprise to trying to change your physical body to either try to appeal to a current beauty fad, or try to live up to a standard of beauty that very few people actually have.

I've been watching this channel for months bc I was fascinated by the content. I'm a biologist and seeing human aesthetics scientifically analyzed is really interesting to me, but I also wanted to figure out the point of this channel besides maybe making people realize why they feel ugly/ "why they're ugly". A lot of the stuff on here is genuinely interesting, but a lot of it (especially when the video is titled like this one) makes me question the point of presenting things like this in an age where body dysmorphia and physical insecurities are through the roof. I think this channel might be exploiting vulnerable people's insecurities and possiby leading them into the plastic surgery path in a way I've never seen done before. Anyways, this might be the last video I'm watching unless something catches my interest (like daily things you can hypothetically do to improve the development of physical features an early stage in life - that stuff's truly fascinating and something I can apply to my children instead of lying to them about how carrots give you green eyes, lol). I hope everyone watching these videos takes care of themselves 💖 you deserve to be loved and feel beautiful; get plastic surgery and whatnot if you want, but always remember that at every stage of your physical appearance, you are worth so much!

It’s true that we treat people differently based off of physical attributes. These videos show us how society has put physical attraction on a pedestal. In my opinion, we can either watch this video and decide how to make ourselves look more attractive…or we can recognize that we carry an unconscious bias (it’s part of our nature) and decide to treat everyone equally regardless of how they look. We have to be aware of ourselves when we’re treating someone differently.

There have been studies that physical appearance counts mostly in first impression situations, but not when you know a person a little more. After a while we won't notice the appearance that much or that strongly. Or it even reverses, seeing someone having unattractive personality traits or completely different views makes them look uglier. Unfortunately, there are many situations where we never make any meaningful connection and where pretty people feel the privilege.

I mean you’re definitely dancing around the topic of race when it comes to subjective attractiveness (which plays a huge role). For example, if someone isn’t into white guys, they’ll label basically every white guy as “average” at best. To most Asians, a dark-skinned person can never be highly attractive, only moderately attractive at best due to one big “flaw”, whereas their skin tone definitely isn’t necessarily a problem in western countries. By claiming that there’s a universal standard of beauty, wouldn’t you be saying that only one particular race holds most of these standards? It’s just not possible for all races to have all of those characteristics.

The base pillars are still the same: well proportioned face and body, symmetrical face, healthy skin (including hair, nails, theeth), well groomed. Then the second part is more determined by the local standards: bodytype, fashion, certain features. These videos trying to be objective and scientific in a topic that is highly subjective by trying to find relations, why are there similar "base quality" to atractivness worldwide and how the local standards can change (or refuse to change) by the influence of media and globalism. So the question is: Is there an universal beauty and if there is then how can we measure it. (And will the local standards ever change worldwide to a universal one? This part is more related what you mentioned and it is a good point. ) I think it's really interesting how controversial this topic is but at the same time in a group/society there still exist a conventional idea of beauty.

Beauty is attainable in this day and age but not for everyone. People think plastic surgery will make anyone look pretty but it’s not true. You only look super pretty after plastic surgery when you are pretty or somewhat attractive to begin with. Not everyone looks beautiful or extremely attractive after plastic surgery and this is a fact. We see so many people on insta getting fillers and rhinoplasty bbl implants but not all of them look good or attractive with their surgery. It’s only when you are pretty enough to begin with that plastic surgery makes u even more attractive. this is a harsh reality but this needs to be said because people believe that plastic surgery is a quick fix to all their problems but it’s really not!

When people are attracted to you, their behaviour changes subconsciously and you pick up on it, which changes self-perception.

My theory is that because my social circles consist of people in their 30s-40s now their standards of beauty are different to people in their early 20s, who are harsher critics because everyone is still in their prime and beautiful. The fact I’m thin and take care of my skin seems to give me an edge over other people in my age group, even though my “plain” face hasn’t changed and arguably gotten worse. I never take ratings seriously because I feel that environment is a huge factor.

You truly do not have to keep watching these videos. I say just try to maintain humility and develop confidence, so that way if you were to come back to these videos one day and hear you were objectively a 2, you would be able to say 'okay', and perhaps if you'd like to, improve on it using tips. Then you could simply move on without any heavy blow to your self esteem. In my opinion, life isn't meant to be this obsession over things you cannot change. Yes, it's good if you can maintain a healthy weight, exercise , have a good skincare routine (if you need it) etc, but if it comes down to stuff like bone structure, then I don't think people should dwell on it too much. And you can learn not to when you don't let these sort of channels/content define who you are. Enjoy life, and realize beauty is NOT everything! Most people I find attractive in real life are like 4/5s, but because of their confidence, decent maintenance of what they can control (hair, weight, skin, hygiene) and kindness they're more beautiful to me then other way more attractive people. [Edit = even if noone on this earth were to find you attractive, you can still enjoy many other aspects of life outside of romantic relationships] Hope you all flourish as human beings, wishing you the best ❤️ (Personally, I'm a Christian too and following the bible + developing my faith has really allowed me to not let these things dictate who I am, Jesus wasn't a beautiful human, he was average/unattractive and he's truly the greatest human to exist lol)

Big nose, weird head, etc might put you at a 6 or 5, and good looks will put you at 8+. 4 and below is not for gen pop.

​@@alexforce9 I think this also has to do with how we define the word "average." In casual speech it often means "normal" or "acceptable" whereas obviously it means something more precise mathematically. If someone asked me to judge whether a given person is more attractive than 70% of the population but not 80%, I don't think I could gauge that consistently; I don't think it's possible for individuals to even use the 1-10 rating system in that way with any accuracy. So we use 1-10 as a scale of bad to great with 5 being "neither good nor bad." But we tend to consider "normal/acceptable" looks to have something desirable in them, even if it's not much. In that sense, 7 is "average" in that it's kind of a minimum most people hope to be and/or for their partner to be imo. Average in the sense of expectations, not in a mathematical sense.

The short answer is that it does and it doesn’t matter. It matters because your looks, class, race, gender etc. do ultimately play a large role in determining your life outcomes. On the other side of the coin, it doesn’t matter because no societal privilege is required for true fulfillment and happiness. It just seems like people go towards the two extremes where they either outright ignore the role of luck in their lives, or they become very envious of people that possess privilege.

This scale tends to be logarithmic with only the very unattractive falling below 6. However if you’re doing it on a percentile where 1 is the bottom 10% of attractiveness and 10 is you are literally the most attractive person in the entire world, most people would fall between 3-5 and above average would be 6-7 and the distribution is more normal.

I have lived on both sides of the scale. I don’t know if anyone will read or relate to this but here’s my take for those interested. Growing up I was objectively physically unattractive and I knew it. I had no real concept of what determined physical attractiveness though so I didn’t understand why. I didn’t really care though. Sure, it hurt not being considered attractive by most but you get used to it. Maybe because of that, the impact physical attractiveness had in my life changed to suit my circumstances. Attractive & unattractive people didn’t really look too different to me. You don’t focus on or value looks as much if you know you’re not a looker. I don’t think it’s necessarily a choice like the video implies but more of a subconscious adaptation. At 18, puberty rapidly reshaped my entire face over ~1.5 years. Suddenly people were commenting on how attractive I was and the opinions were…mixed. I was better than some and worse than others. It all made no sense to me, but as I looked in the mirror more often, two things happened: 1. I struggled more to identify with who I saw & 2. I no longer had anyone to compare myself to. I think people heavily underestimate the effect of familiarity on attractiveness and self-concept. The video was spot on in saying that people best determine their own attractiveness through comparing with others. I didn’t understand that watching my face change had made me aware of subtle differences in faces I never saw before. For the first time ever, I could genuinely see certain people were more or less attractive than others, but like many others, I couldn’t pinpoint why. Where everyone looked the same (flat line) there was now much more disparity (sloped line). With help from this channel, I grew a deeper understanding of how beauty works. When it comes to myself, I acknowledge I am objectively attractive now, but I do not believe I am as attractive as others say. I believe most attractive people think similarly, especially those who have not always been attractive. I think attractive people rate themselves lower than the objective rating because they are more aware of those better looking than them. Only a select few truly deserve to be in that 90th percentile. In the sense that you can be amazing at a sport, but you know a true prodigy would humble you. In combination with the tendency to focus less on looks among the objectively unattractive, I think this video is spot on in its overall observations. Ofc, physical beauty is only a piece of what makes someone desirable so regardless of how attractive you are, please do focus on being a good person. Regardless where you are on the scale, looks can be improved, but they will not overcome a bad personality.

I can never tell, I look in the mirror and see 2 different people staring back at me. Sometimes I think I look awful, and others I think I look awfully good. Usually no in-between. I fixate on aspects of my appearance that no one else notices. I can never tell if compliments are genuine, or people being nice. I'm pretty sure it's Bodily Dysmorphic Disorder, and that I'll never see myself as I truly am. Even when I feel like a million-bucks, it only last a few minutes before I immediately think that I'm just wired to see myself as good looking. At time I've thought I could apply to a modeling agency if I just my skin to clear up. I've expressed these thoughts to others and they seemed to agree, but they might have been sparing my feelings. Hopefully someday it will be in my budget to get a comprehensive facial analysis, so I can take the subjectivity of it out.

There is truth to this. Unless you're hideous or just off-putting (like a guy with a scary face) your looks doesn't matter at all for everyday interactions. For relationships, though, it's more of an issue. Generally, if you have regular interactions with someone and you are both the right sex for each other (eg opposite sex if you're both hetero), you have a good chance of hooking up if you're both single and looking. In these cases the main difficulty is that _someone else_ from the same social circle might snatch them up before you. It gets much more difficult when you try to get with someone you don't interact with a lot, so you cannot slowly work them. For example, on dating apps, in parties, randomly approaching girls on the street, etc. looks suddenly become incredibly important (because that's all you have, since you don't have time to show your personality).

The part at the end about less attractive people earning more and being taken more seriously/more likely to be married is interesting and makes sense as there has always been the divide of opinion that sets up beauty vs brains, with the saying that to find both is a rarity. My theory here is that, if one is not blessed with high levels of physical attraction, they either eschew the mental and emotional time sink of caring about the effort to enhance and avoid beauty in life (assuming they are accepting and at peace with their lot or they have an active disgust of beauty being seen as important and don't hold it to their own values in their lives) which frees up their time/energy into being directed into other pursuits in their lives. The fact of the matter is that some of the greatest minds are truly found in the least attractive of people, so this is why you unattractive scientists are taken more seriously; as people apply what they already have known and experienced and so continue to make the same bias of assumptions there. The marriage thing is interesting though and I would like to know if it works both ways that the most unattractive men are more likely to be married too. Is it that the least attractive men and women marry one another? I wonder if this is to do with people making more effort in a relationhip, developing more of a personality and things to bring into a relationship, if they are not attractive, as they cannot rely on beauty so much and so don't see it as something to secure them a relationship.

When I mentioned this to people they were very surprised and told me I was the opposite of how I perceived myself. As I had beaten my mental illness and started to regain my confidence, which also changed my way of presenting myself and getting/currently working on getting back in track with self-care, I noticed a dramatic shift in how strangers and people of my age group would treat me. For example certain people staring a lot or being treated extra nice/given free food on the house. This has gotten a bit out of hand since I recently was recorded by a creepy and older man on the train. Attractive or not, the key mostly is self-care and confidence.

Representation isn't only about what you can see in the media. I grew up in a dominantly white neighbourhood FORTUNATELY (no cultural pressures or drama, being able to develop freely), but some cons of them were that I had developed an identity crises and became too western for some and had to be too conservative (house rules) for Europeans. There were no people at all like me or that understood my struggles or to share some cultural experiences with, to talk to in the same language and be friends with. Especially when having a higher education, "foreigners" are lesser. Many Turkish or Moroccan girls weren't the only one in class and still aren't the only ones in university. In short: representation is not only media representation. That affected me the least and later on in life. No the irl lack of representation mixed with bullying and other shit, really messed me up mentally.

This would be so helpful! I relate to everything you have said on body dysmorphia. I think I’ve had it from a young age too. For example when I was 6, I had a tree planting school excursion and we had to wear one worst clothes so we could get dirty. I pleaded with my mum to wear something else but she sent me to school and as soon as I was there I made a b-line to hide behind toys. Everyone left and I sat frozen the whole day in the same spot until it was time to run into my mums car for pickup. This shows up in similar ways in my life to this day. I can’t be seen in bright harsh lighting after I take my makeup off for the day and I wear one outfit every single day because I feel so malformed in everything else.

I think social media has done something even more insidious to me. I don't have low self-esteem, because many people throughout my life have told me I should be a model, but I can see the features in my face that would make that impossible. Still, I don't think I'm unattractive. The issue for me is that after years of exposure to the hottest of the hot on instagram, everyone else looks banal in comparison. I find myself swiping left on just about everyone now. I accidentally set a new standard in my brain that I can't seem to un-do.

I browsed the Greitmeyer paper and wish the results had been separated by gender, although I did note that the participants of the studies were overwhelmingly female. In my experience in looksmaxxing communities a lot of above average women have bdd and consider themselves unattractive (despite getting high ratings) and below average women are generally aware that they’re unattractive. I don’t have much experience with the male side so I can’t comment on it. But I wonder if either gender in particular is inflating their self assessments.

Although there are some similarities in preferences in the greater scheme, there’s a lot more factors that play a role in attraction. People have different preferences in looks and personality. Also, another comment here got my attention-it is questioning the reasons behind these videos and whether there are staff working with it who are PS surgeons…ok so I looked into it and this is what I found: “QOVES Studio was established to clarify how people view surgery as a more positive tool of social mobility because appearance influences how someone is treated, how much money the person goes on to earn, and how the socioeconomic status can be manipulated.”

I always thought that a huge part of the reason we rate ourselves as more attractive than we really are is because we are very familiar to ourselves. If there is something you look at every day, you’re going to be so used to it that what you see will be so normal to you. Faces that are average are among the most beautiful. Average being in the sense that they have basic features, nothing unusual- nothing too big, far apart, close together. This is why, since we are so used to our faces that they’re the norm to us and nothing about them will be as unusual to us, we will see ourselves as more beautiful. This is like how I viewed my best friend for years. I thought she was so beautiful because I was used to her and I only really payed attention to her key beautiful features, but then once I analyzed her appearance more thoroughly and through the lense of seeing her for the first time, I realized she is still beautiful, but definitely less attractive than I thought. But yeah, attractive people definitely can much more easily emotionally afford to be more objective and analytical with rating their own appearances.

Rating people's attractiveness on a numeric scale is honestly poor taste and a disgusting practice. It takes away from any uniqueness or cultural influence. It also causes self esteem issues and body dismorphia. If I like one of my features but society considers it undesirable, it will be hard to keep liking it. Also if I don't like a feature but everyone envies me for it it can be invalidating. The sad truth is society works by the laws of attraction. These studies are trying to vilify unattractive people by stating that they are saying they are more beautiful than they are and are giving a free pass to attractive people by painting them to be modest. I'm kinda dissapointed with this topic and studies, although the video seem well researched as usual. Also keep in mind: when you are stating that someone is ugly or unattractive you are basically transmitting to that person the same words as "you are not desired or accepted or wanted".

There might be some objective truth to what is considered "good looking" but I think attractiveness has so many other things to take into consideration than mere physical appearance. I might find someone good looking but may not be attracted to them at all. Likewise, I sometimes find myself attracted to less than average looking person. But I agree with you that telling someone they're ugly will make them feel undesired and unwanted. Nobody wants to feel that way. And honestly it's disappointing that we all have tendency to judge people based on physical appearance.

It's so strange because I used to consider myself terribly ugly throughout my middleschool years. I was constantly insulted due to how I looked. Now that I'm in high-school, things took a complete 180. I've been told that I should model countless times this year (both by people online and irl). I only started thinking that I was conventionally attractive due to the external validation I received. However, insults have shifted from how I look to my precieved intelligence. If I ever make a mistake or do something rather questionable, many of my peers are quick to undermine me. One of my "friends" even refuses to compliment me on anything at this point.

The problem with objectiveness here is that people in real life don't care where someone falls statistically, but whether someone is attractive for them. And as attractiveness has been an important trait in evolution, an average person is quite attractive when they take care of themselves. Nowadays even more so, because so many are obese.

Honestly whenever girls have shown interest in me I have always dismissed or felt confused basically wondering "Why on earth would she like me of all people". This is due to being basically treated as sub-human due to my looks(I was obese) by most girls my age between grade 3-7, so in my final year of highschool when working out for 4 years and wearing clothes that actually fit paid it was baffling. So anyone who is struggling with looks and their self-image working out, losing weight, gaining muscle and wearing clothes that fit won't fix all your problems but it will sure help and to put more emphasis on the exercise part is that it doesn't happen overnight heck not even a few months but maybe after like 8 month or a year+ suddenly your physique will feel like it drastically changed overnight cause you never really notice the change in time.

As a little girl, I was pretty, but after 3rd grade, my looks became not soo good. I started puberty early & my proportions got out of hand. From age 9-15, I looked pretty unfortunate. After that, 16 & 17 was unfortunate too, because of a bad haircut. Now at 20, 2 years of having great hair, good style, no excess weight, it's sometimes feel like unreasonable for me to believe I can be pretty for someone.
