Golden retrievers are out. In today's video, I discuss the hot rodent boyfriend trend and the myth of being unconventionally attractive.

why is it so weird for people to just say they find someone attractive? why do we have to keep sorting people into different "types" of attractiveness? it's really strange tbh

This is legitimately true!!! These categories most likely arose because people were like "this person is attractive to me but don't fit the current beauty standard," so a whole aesthetic has to be created in order to justify the "why he kinda...." attitude. I feel like in order to truly tackle the issue, we have to stop judging people's preferences (and faces) so hard as a society.

Truly, I think we as a society are so simultaneously repressed and oversexualized (both of which get reinforced by Hollywood's concepts of beauty) that we end up creating and then discussing the merits and drawbacks of categories like "rodent man" rather than people just... unabashedly liking what they like. Maybe I just feel particularly impatient with it all because I'm a lesbian and trying to divest of conventional concepts of attractiveness, but it just gets more and more bizarre to me as time goes on.

Sometimes I feel like people feel pressured to downplay how attracted they are to their partner, simply because their partner isn't someone everyone around them is climbing over themselves to try to bone. Whenever I talk to someone who says their partner isn't the best looking, I have to wonder if they truly believe that, or if they feel shamed (not just by "society", but friends and family) over how their partner looks.

No longer just British men, but the name still stands in my circle.

I hear what you're saying about how these "rat man" are often white guys, but imo I think part of it for guys of color could be that comparing not white guys to animals historically gets really dicey really fast (From white people's pov). If I saw a non white dude who I thought fit the "rat man" aesthetic, I still probably wouldn't call him that in an effort to avoid a conversation about what exactly I mean by that. But I am a white dude so. Edit: Whoop. You said that right after I made my comment. My fault for not watching the whole video before commenting.

Edit: Although, to steelman the point, a lot of people who want to degrade a slightly larger woman will often salivate when a justified reason to dislike them comes out, so they can continue bashing on that person and claim it's because of the bad thing they did, not because they're not thin/white/wearing makeup/whatever.

There is way to much emphasis on looks in society.You can find people attractive based on all sorts of things, not just looks. Also I think the internet gives a scewed version of reality. I live in a majority white country, am darker skintoned and overweight but with a smaller waist and big bust. A lot of people compliment me from diffrent backgrounds. Not just guys, the kids at the school I work or other women to. I think being being attracted to people can differ from "being attractive" because as cliché as it sounds... It really is about the whole package. I think people are surprised if they find somebody attractive that the media hasn't told they should find attractive. Tbh a lot of the guys you showed didn't seem attractive to me. Kendrick actually looked better then most of them 😅. But i guess in mainstream American media; white and skinny is still right. Thank goodness for the internet. I watch a lot of diffrent people and seeing all that diversity does really help for confidence for me personally. At the end of the day we are all people and everybody wants to be threated nice regardless of how you look. So I like to threat everybody with the same kindness regardless of their look because I hope the would do that for me to. Love your videos ❤.

As someone who doesn't enter the uh, analytical side of internet attraction science. And was fully unaware of the animal standard for male attractiveness, this was certainly an introduction

k-dot is a gorgeous man. The way he moves is dripping with honesty. when I look at drake, I see his build , height , and face and it technically looks good but the energy behind it. The way drake moves literally and personality wise is unattractive. He has the Scorpio energy not that really matters, but that energy is about emotion, magnetism, influence, power etc. The way he wields his personal power is unattractive to those who wish to be healthy and honest .

The fact that they're making how you look sound like a TREND kinda makes it feel like objectifying with extra steps. is it just me?

I completely agree, and whilst I think it's an overused term, I do think the 'female gaze' or simply the appeal of men with just enough feminine qualities, plays a huge part in the rodent trend, take the Challenegrs leads for example. In general the film objectifies them more compared to the female characer, with their masculinity constantly being questioned. Art especially exhibits alot of vunerability and sensitivity, notably at the hands of a dominating women, which definitely plays a part on why the internet became so obsessed with his character. This even follows through with the actors' themeselves. People have expressed a massive love for Josh O'Connor, purely because he comes off as quite literally adorable, he's this incredibly sweet and non threatening guy, making him more appealing to lots of women, plus he is clearly talented actor. Whilst Mike Faist can come off as much more saracstic amd intense, even seeming like the more 'masculine' one of the duo, his extensive theatre background definitely shuts this down. Very so, he has gained plenty of fans through his vocals and that fact that he is actually quite a beautiful and talented dancer. Which is not often seen in alot of Hollywood men.

I really like the way Amanda broke down this video and every other video she makes lol, but this trend/topic is... interesting ig because I feel like it's just super weird and unnecessary. Why do we have to keep categorizing people into these "boxes" with made up terminology that don't allow people to exist outside of them, e.g. "it girl," "that girl," "clean girl" etc. It's even more confusing to me because the "hot rodent boyfriend" targets white men but if this trend were pertained to women, black people/poc, the world would go crazy and complain. p.s. i wrote this before I finished the video because I didn't want to forget but yet again Amanda nails it with the explanation

I've been comparing men in my life to the rat from Flushed Away for years, so I'm glad the Internet has finally caught wind! I think this comparison has less to do with the men's striking similarity to the rat, and more to do with the rat's striking similarity to the men. In other words, I think that the specific rat from Flushed Away looks like a lot of humans, but that doesn't mean those humans look like rats, just that one specific rat. No wonder the producer based the rat on Matty Healy's appearance!

i find this really infuriating with how women view men. like just admit someone is attractive. I hate men for constantly wanting to rank women by number. idk, just like find the beauty and the attraction in people or just be polite.

If Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor are considered ‘rodent men’ i have no fucking idea what attractive is anymore? How much of a perfectly sculpted Greek-god statue do i have to be to be considered ‘conventionally attractive’? Wtf is that. No idea how talking about someone like that allowed on mainstream media, also that its ok becuz they’re dudes is a bit sad, i mean those newscasters need to preach some equal respect here
