[@LotusesGalaxyOcean]

I agree, but I think many women struggle to see themselves as pretty past these trends. Personally I recommend looking at different great beauties in all types of times and cultures. Interestingly the likelihood is that you will find one that is pretty close to how you look. And then that lets you consider the standards that made that true and their style. Look for things that are potentially uplifting and not terribly downgrading with over the top critiques. It's far more mentally healthy.

Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Racism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

[@doraaaa0613]

why must we call ourselves ugly in the first place? beauty is subjective and these trends prove it. going from extremely skinny bony heroin chic to BBLs and slim thick, full baby cheeks to buccal fat removal, sharp noses to flat button noses, just goes to show how impressionable our perception of beauty is because these are almost on complete different ends of the spectrum. to me beauty is a spectrum, with a wide variety of unique features and characteristics, rather than just beautiful vs ugly. our sense of aesthetics is really dependent on the era we live in. it’s up to us to call ourselves beautiful regardless and radiate that confidence from the inside, empower ourselves than just resign ourselves to being ugly. it’s hard to do it. but not a single one of us looks exactly like the other, and i think that’s a beautiful thing. let’s all be kind to ourselves ❤

I've always called myself forest gremlin pretty, and I think I'm really gonna stick with that. It actually makes me feel better about myself and my unique features!!! Growing up, I felt like the ugliest girl in the world for not having the most typically attractive features. I began referring to myself as a gremlin as a joke, because I felt like it fit my looks and my personality. One day, someone commented on my pic online saying that I had a very natural essence and they thought I looked like a wood elf. That comment actually made me feel uniquely pretty for the first time, and now I can look at myself with acceptance rather than with distain. We can define our own beauty, social standards be damned!

[@el-erso]

omg I also grew up very insecure about some of my features, and one day for some reason I saw some humor in them, like I thought I looked funny, not in a way I thought people should make fun of me, but these things were just parts of myself that made me just not conventionally attractive, and that humor turned into acceptance, and now these are things that I like about myself and even make me feel beautiful in my own way It's a bit of a strange way to look at oneself but if we all tried fitting into one of the categories mentioned in the video it would've literally been impossible for people like me or you to feel good about ourselves and honestly it feels soo much better feeling beautiful because you're yourself rather than ticking all the boxes for being "popular pretty" or "model pretty"

As a teenager in the midst of all this despite not having tiktok, i see these trends. I absorb these trends. And Im a 15-year-old black girl, who doesn’t have any money to keep up with any of them. And I feel like If we’re going with a realistic standard, Im not gonna be any of the “4- pretty’s” and ad much as i try to accept it, when you happen to go to a school with some diversity, but not much, sometimes its really hard. I always thought that when I got older it wouldn’t matter, but no matter how hard I try, it feels like it always will. I know this seems like a really pointless rant, and there’s probably people in the comments who are going to be like “it doesn’t matter what the color of your skin is” and im going to say, that sometimes it does. It really does matter sometimes, and the beauty standards at my school, are 1. Blonde, Brown, or Black hair 2.Skinny 3. Long eyelashes 4. Be Rich 5. Have confidence 6. Be on a sports team. Thats what it’s like at my school. That’s what i have to live up to. And I shouldn’t have to. Nobody should have to. So here’s my question. Why does it matter what type of pretty we are? I thought all that was supposed to matter was personality and just how you are as a person. Sorry, i just needed to get that off my chest. Also id love to know other people’s opinion in the comments, and i hope i didn’t offend anyone, I was just saying whats one my mind about this topic.

[@greenfoliage]

You're absolutely right. Take it from someone who happens to be in her late 20s: as long as you're presentable (clean, affable, good-natured), you ARE pretty! It's tough being a teenager and feeling that you have to blend in, but you don't really have to. Uniqueness is pretty. I used to envy textured and colored (red/brownish) hair. I used to want to be taller and more androgynous. But those aren't me. And notice those aren't typical beauty standards. Each people has their own perception of what's pretty and it should be normalized. You have plenty of time to learn what makes someone attractive - be it rabbit teeth, wide nose, small nose, freckles, small eyes, big eyes, thin lips, big lips, idk what else society find undesirable - be assured that there will be people who find your features cute! A lot of time it's not based on standards. :)

[@beepbobeep4594]

Hi sis, I’m a 17 (soon to be 18) year old black girl. I know exactly how you feel. I was (and am still) an overweight black girl when I was 15 years old in a predominantly white school. It was rough and it wrecked my self image and confidence. I do want to tell you, though that it gets so much better. Do not compare yourself to others but find your own beauty. It truly shines from within. I consider myself to be quite pretty now but it took the work to not compare myself to other people’s beauty but to find my own instead. Remember that you are absolutely beautiful no matter what the beauty standards are. Remain confident in this fact and remember that beauty standards differ not only from society to society but even from person to person. Whatever the socially “acceptable” beauty standard is at the time, individuals still have their own personal preferences. Hence you should find your own beauty, accentuate it and rest confidently in your amazing beauty. You are an amazing person and you’ve got this! Stay strong

[@Aliyah.Owasicha]

I'm really into body types and learning about what clothing looks best on someone based on bone structure and certain features. It's really fun to research Kibbe😇 and an innocent approach to finding your style. The 80s models were know as natural body types because of their naturally athletic build making them look strong or fit some traits include: long limbs, broad shoulders, wide ribcage, straight hips, and wild healthy hair. Which would explain the use of shoulder pads and thick coats. The herion chic is often known as dramatics.. Sadly sometimes It really is just heroin; however, Kate's bones structure has always been delicate looking and that's just the features of dramatics. Long, narrow, and sharp not broad like naturals . It seems like the internet is really favoring the dramatics right now and sleek cashmere dresses. Some claim nothing looks good on them, but since I've learned abt this it's really fun to learn what designers favor body types like Chanel really likes gamines (essences) which would be lily rose depp, lily allen, and audrey Hepburn for example. The 70s is the best for naturals because of the width in clothing making a vibrant larger than life look. Standard pretty giving no explanation other than meeting the beauty standards is just absurd bc every country is different what we find standard here is unique in another country.. It has no structure or system. Ppl are lumping it all together. There's pretty based on culture and sexual dimorphism. Then there's ✨style✨ which can be anything! Then there is your pure bone structure, vertical line, and facial features. The best part is that none of this really matters unless you're into it (style, fashion, and body types) bc everyone's preferences are different.

This feels like a quiz I would take on a sketchy website in 2013/2014/2015...the answer would be inaccurate but I would consult my friends who would then give a possibly more accurate response that would accomodate my race and body as well. And then forget all about it later.

I'm very flattered by your confidence. The universal truth everyone must see. I appreciate your work very much, you've inspired me and made me love myself. As being a tenager, I'm starting to get concerned about my looks and always thought I've never cared for these thing when I was young but suddenly why. Hanging out with my friends after COVID-19🦠😷I saw everyone is into too much social media, trusting useless thoughts etc. And I saw how much they compared themselves to others and get sad and depressed. Well, your video sure motivates them and myself to become a better person. I appreciate 😊your wonderful thoughts and the courage. Thank you ❤

[@thornsandrosess]

This intoxicating trend of beauty made me so insecure for so long, that i became blind to my own face. Recently me and a school friend went into the city for some shopping. And i went into a game shop for a plushie that i liked. When i came out she pointed out that my interaction with the (m) clerk was peak pretty privilege. And i realised she was right when i replaced myself in that conversation with her (she's got a very 'extreem' alt look, with dyed hair, that often digusts men). He was so pleasant and apologetic to me when he did something wrong. In a way that was super over the top and unnesesairy. It was SO weird. And i never noticed it before, simply bc of the things i saw online.

[@dohastay1468]

Zoe Can you just do a video to talk about how family pressure on their kids to become the most perfect person they ever meet effect their mental health. My whole family and even my siblings think that I have to be perfect even though they don't say it but they don't accept and realise that they do, I told them many times about it and they always blame me for that. Now I have mental health issues, social anxiety, stress and anxiety of being later than my peers, a wake, sleepy, comfortable and happy even though I am only 18 yo. I will be so thankful if you did it. I am lost right now so much.

[@excuse.me.princess]

zoe…thank you. just thank you for everything. i’m literally crying, realising how i’ve let media get to me, not seeing the harm they can cause…i knew it, i just didn’t want to believe it. thank you for helping me realise there truly is no definition or pretty, handsome, ugly, hot, sexy, cute, we are all just different. and different is the only truly beautiful thing. different is all of us, it’s everyone. we can learn to disregard our biases so we can appreciate all beauty for all of its worth

[@dasolaj9572]

I remember being 11 and constantly being told my big lips were ugly, then I’m 14 and everyone wants big pink lips. I didn’t know whether to be happy or angry or whatever cuz i was trying to process the switch. It just shows how following beauty standards is so tiring, it changes with influencers and industries picking and choosing features to market and ppl following it blindly

[@pmzaii]

i thought my lips were ugly because of how big they were. even though big lips are trendy the big lips they’re talking about is just the type a white person with big lips would have. didn’t rlly help since i hated my two toned lips

[@ImmolationVenus666]

I'd like to see you make a video about beauty standards in different countries, that definitely would be interesting, I know people talked about beauty standards from different centuries and how those changed but yeah

[@emilyjaehnert8060]

My type of pretty is basically neoclassical portrait pretty? I look at master paintings from the 1800s and show them to people as an example of what I think I look like. People usually say, "what? You're not THAT ugly," (even my own parents). It just makes me feel worse because I think those portraits are beautiful.

[@iamluyu]

The most scary thing about it is that 90% of those "trends" are created by young women too... Like, we're the collective who suffers the most from these but still it is mainly our "fault" to them to exist/spread through the internet. This "desire" of physically pleasing everyone around us (derived from gender inequality and the need to claim male attention to get anywhere) is so draining, yet we keep "playing the game", y'know?

[@eternallykai252]

yea its really sad to see that even though we are aware of what the issues are we just keep creating more. At the end of the day the more effort and time you put into your looks the prettier you will be, but it needs to be deeper than just that. if you don't have a balance you will constantly feel inadequate as you age.

[@nvrmnd6971]

This video is really great to tell everyone that your pretty no matter what because everyone just care about being pretty and being popular

[@jay_song_]

Whenever I see things like this and I start worrying about if I am pretty, I think about a quote that I saw on Pinterest years ago. (Idk who said it or if I am quoting it right, it's been a while) "Christmas lights and wild flowers are both pretty. You wouldn't compare them directly because they are so different but they are both beautiful." Whenever I find myself comparing my face and body and life to someone else's, I just remind myself of that quote. Maybe they are Christmas lights and I am a wildflower. We both have our seasons and our places and we are both beautiful in our own ways. We should celebrate our different beauties because what a boring world we would live in if we were all the same

Never heard of this topic before… so lucky, that American social media doesn’t apply on other countries. The amount of attention towards body’s and individual views is crazy. I heard (doesn’t have to be true) that people from America are more offended when you tell them there are ugly or broke, rather than that they have a bad personality. Insane… Please shift your focus on something that truly has a meaning and brings happiness

Society has become so insanely vain, it’s shocking. Just focus on being a good person. Focus on educating yourself. Focus on helping those less fortunate than yourself. Focus on environmental efforts. Focus on human connection. Focus on your passions and creating things with your hands. Focus on cultivating joy. Stop focusing on your appearance and what other people think of you.

Speaking as someone in their 30s (not sure how old everyone else is in this neck of the KZbin woods!) I would brand this as ‘a load of nonsense’. Seriously - when you get older, and join the real world, you come to realise the real things that matter. AND IT’S NOT THIS. Maybe it’s because I grew up in the wholesome world of MSN messenger and MySpace - but I think some people need to realise that Instagram and TikTok filters and standards are not compatible in the REAL WORLD. Seriously, folks - having your health and genuinely taking care of yourself is so much more important than upholding made-up aesthetics. ❤

[@amayaperry]

I wish people would stop calling them Kylie Jenner lips because is most commonly a natural feature for Black and Latina women. These women have been mocked for these lips only for white nepo baby to get praised for injections and named after her like she invented it. Please everyone out there, please stop referring to full lips as Kylie Jenner lips because it feeds into the appropriation of BIPOC women. p.s. no hate to this video; I really love Zoe's video essays. I just wanted to share that because it is very harmful to those who naturally have these features as it erases them

[@Iamyl4]

Us as women are perpetrators of this. You can claim the patriarchy all day but the sad reality is women do this to each other. Most men I know just want a good woman who will love him and give him peace, that’s the average guy I don’t think it’s fair to box all men in this idea that Hollywood producers and the average guy have the same ideals when it comes to beauty. Also what is beauty or being told you are pretty? It’s either for self validation or validation from others and neither are good for us as society. We can’t blame every little thing on the patriarchy, ladies we are part of the problem.

society's hyperfixation on beauty and beauty standards always ended up being out of reach for me to the point that i kinda just gave up on meeting them and it's less out of self-love and more out of self-loathing. and from there it spiralled out of control into the mindset of If I'm Not Pretty I Might As Well Be Smart which ended up leading me to overwork and burn out myself constantly in school to prove that even if i'm Not Pretty i can still be Worth Something, right? news flash: It Did Not Work not only was the self-loathing that the mindset stemmed from absolutely unhealthy, it put an unfair standard on myself to make up for something i never lacked in the first place, something that had criteria that changed all the goddamn time. not to mention i was still unintentionally feeding into Societal Beauty Hyperfixation by trying to meet it in other ways. and now that i know what my mindset has been it's been hard to unlearn but eventually I'll get there. self-love is hard to learn with the way society is but once you get there it's pretty damn rewarding.

[@virtualsocialretreat8234]

In times such as ours there is a great pressure to come up with concepts that help men understand their dilemma; there is an urge toward vital ideas, toward a simplification of needless intellectual complexity. Sometimes this makes for big lies that resolve tensions and make it easy for action to move forward with just the rationalizations that people need. But it also makes for the slow disengagement of truths that help men get a grip on what is happening to them, that tell them where the problems really are.

[@kotaadkins9527]

This is why I like the Kibbe and Kitchener systems. They describe body and face types in a neutral way and they're just guidelines on how certain styles will make you shine and others you may get lost in. It's helped me a lot considering I would try on certain trends and wonder why they looked weird on me. If you're insecure with your looks, I recommend looking into the Kibbe body type and Kitchener facial essence systems. No body or facial type is loved more than the other, it's all about style.
