MyFestivus that’s what she is trying to say the world is so caught up on appearance they don’t ever see you for who you are. She is trying to get people to be aware of that and fix the situation by saying looks aren’t everything there is in life

hallelu lee But looks play a HUGE factor. You can probably talk to a pretty girl and get her number but it is VERY difficult, that is why you are better off working on looks, plus since when do you see an ugly man walk with a pretty woman? Unless they were already friends before.

Of course attractive people have some issues in life cos of their looks (i think especially females), but the advantages weigh out the disadvantages by far in my opinion. Everybody in the range from "really ugly" to "incredibly beautiful" has reasons to complain somehow, but i think almost everybody knows where he/she wants to place himself if he/she could choose his/her looks. No where even near average ;)

Irony

I think the title conveys the message well. When someone says that something "isn't everything", the implication is "although it's big, it's not everything". And she went on to say that society places too much importance on something that is actually very superficial. Moreover, good looks don't shield you from insecurities.

meanwhile it's told to you by a model and not a subhuman

As if like, "Looks aren't _everything._ It's the _only_ thing." I think that's the idea they're trying to give away.

The title is not wrong, it's satire.

But I want an easy life :(

Bullshit.... life gives no short cuts or easy paths to ANYONE...Good looking or not..... life gives us different sets of problems/obstacles to overcome, that's it.

I come from a smallest village in eastern europe and poor abusive family that raised me into an unsociable introvert with issues. The main thing that made me break thru is my looks. People actually perceive cute ones as better in everything (including smarts) than they really are. Psycollogists agree with my experience on this.

@@ralphpinkins5619 Oh, but it does. Everyone has problems and hardships of course but good looking people always get more attention, support, people are biased towards them, etc. Even on UKposts i see it sometimes: there is a handsome guy or beautiful girl and their channel instantly gets many more subscribers than others with sometimes much better content. They just get more opportunities in life usually. How they use it it's another thing.

@@todanrg3 you're proving my point. God gave these individuals good looks. But that's their obstacle to overcome as well as their advantage. You may not be as good looking as them but smarter then them , let's say for example , if we were to compare the two. Would life be easier for you because compared to a good looking person you're smarter than them? No ofc not. Because your ugly and looks matter too. Get my point. You cant compare apples and oranges and then say life is easier. That's like comparing struggles.

You are not good looking at all, so stop trying to flatter yourself.

you are so unaware it's insane. it's like when rich people complain and say money isn't everything when they get a disease. yes money isn't everything, but there's people that don't have health and don't have money and they are worst than you. the same goes to you. sure you may still have problems about your appearance in your own mind, but people treat you better, you are praised and encouraged to have confidence, you get better jobs and you are payed more just because you look better. stop whining for once and listen to the people that you acknowledged have less than you.

I can not even agree more.

That was actual perfection

TheAlphadog I understand your points, it really all boils down to personal opinion and how the individual perceives these issues. The most significant part for me, though, is concerning young girls. I do disagree with you on that, only because girls in these newer generations (due to the accessibility of social media and the presence of advertisements everywhere) are almost always surrounded by what society considers the ideal body type/beauty. Usually the ideal is portrayed as a beautiful woman with lovely skin and a fit body, perfect hair teeth and nails, etc. If the girl doesn't have a strong enough body image of herself (you know, the low self esteem middle school years are super common) nor is she taught to realize that the people presented to her in ads/social media aren't necessarily 'attainable' (not sure how to word this part my apologies) she might become desperate to achieve these ideals and do something dangerous like starve herself or even become depressed. It's the same for boys too, I'm sure many have gone through periods of low self esteem and depression due to not being 'ideal' (ofc I don't know for sure, I wouldn't know what it's like to grow up as a boy in this age). Mostly I just support the fashion industry introducing images of health rather than unattainable beauty, ethnic diversity for poc representation (a young latina girl may not feel beautiful if the only beautiful women she knows about are all white, for example) that sort of thing. Education in general needs a lot of work, but we can't forget that children retain a lot of information from social media/advertising. It's like another educational outlet, so we gotta make sure they're not contributing anything potentially harmful. xx

Glory Knights "I do disagree with you on that, only because girls in these newer generations (due to the accessibility of social media and the presence of advertisements everywhere) are almost always surrounded by what society considers the ideal body type/beauty. Usually the ideal is portrayed as a beautiful woman with lovely skin and a fit body, perfect hair teeth and nails, etc." You're wrong. Society doesn't "tell" people what is beautiful, that's just ridiculous. Have you ever had a friend who thought someone was super attractive, but you didn't find them that way yourself? Attraction has everything to do with biology and you perception of healthy. All those things you listed are signals of a healthy person that our subconscious picks up on so we can attempt to reproduce with them. Has nothing to do with the media. I agree with you on body image though, but seeing as how the average weight has started to go up and obesity has increased, heart diseases also. There should be a limit to what we actually tell young girls and boys. There are more benefits for a person to being fit, eating healthy and exercising than there is to eat bad foods and being told to love yourself anyway. That is completely backwards. Everything else though I completely agree, but unfortunately, you live in a free market society. So magazines can publish what they want depending on the demand.

TheAlphadog It's not blatant, I just personally believe having a majority unattainable image is subtle enough to cause harm to any young person who may not know better. A shift towards healthy bodies is definitely the move. If ads only include vv beautiful and the vv skinny, kids won't know that not everybody can obtain that body healthily. But you're right, it depends on demand. Money over all :(

Well I took it as a joke why can't you? The tittle didn't even come from her.

Nope, ur just salty

YES YES YES

On point

Unfortunately, reality is not working such way🙃

Also there is so much abuse in modelling industry

I've met females who look great but have almost no character. It's a game changer.

let's just say there's a lot of strange and perverse people in the world.

Money isn’t everything - Billionaires Looks aren’t everything - Model there is a connection here

People like to think that if they were more beautiful, skinnier etc they would not be insecure, they would be happy and basically all their problems would go away. They get mad and jealous when beautiful people talk about being insecure. They probably feel like beautiful people don’t have the right to be insecure. But being insecure in reality has nothing to do with how you look. You can always find someone more beautiful than yourself. And like she says the more you focus on the way you look, regardless of how you actually look, the more insecure you are. Cause the more you focus on it the more flaws you find. The best way to learn how to be confident in your looks is to find a way to accept that you don’t look perfect and that you might not even be especially beautiful at all and try your best to not put your worth in your appearance. I’m not saying this is easy. But it is easier and better than changing your looks only to find that you still feel insecure.

Sarah Marshall because most of these people people didn’t watch the video and just got triggered by the title.

It same like flexing with money. People dont want to hear that others are doing so much better than themselves. (especially when its not anyhow "deserved" or worked for)

thank you

More : she's saying that the standards of beauty are socially and economically constructed. And that what we see is not the reality.

JohnTheBaptist Yes thats also true. The western standard of physical beauty is rather narrow and geared strongly toward white people, and thats no coincidence.

how can you say she didn't deserved it? she is a model bc she took care of her physical appearance more and that's an effort. I don't like the way you put the sentence. looks is very subjective it's a matter of being self confident and content with oneself. modelling industry is more than look having what you say "genetic lottery"

saniyauzumaki I didn't say she "didn't deserve it". I said being tall, white, with fair skin and a pretty face are not something a person "deserves" through having done anything to earn them. You either get lucky in the gene pool or you don't. It's not like you can go to college and learn how to be tall, slim and pretty like you can go there to earn a degree and get a career that way. Therefore it is not something that is "deserved" or not deserved it is mostly just luck of the draw. Yes I am sure she eats well and exercises....which are things everybody should do, not just models. That doesn't mean anything.

Yah, cause it's click bait , the argument made in this video has nothing to do with the title

X1 Z1 same

X1 Z1 same here friend

@Jeff Jedi, looks are not everything, nor required to be accepted. Confidence and treating others as respectable is sexy. Haven't you ever seen an average looking guy with a sexy woman? I have.

Ugly people just use their looks as an excuse not to better themselves. If you’re funny, kind and confident then so many doors open up. Looks are the first thing people notice, but who you are is what stays with people.

Well possibly yes but as a woman being confident doesn't matter. I'm confident about myself even tho I'm ugly (Im just being realistic). You can see average looking guys with pretty girls but you'll never see good looking guys with average looking woman.

me neither Oh no darling. thats not true at all. I know a bunch of handsome guys and whenever I met their women or girlfriends I often asked myself, why they were not more attractive compared to their partner. (In my subjektive opinion of course)

me neither That reminds me of that kid from Target. He is good looking, and I think he was or is with a girl who’s not very pretty.

Well said!❤

Money ISN´T everything, unless you don´t have any money, in that case, money is everything.

it isn't like that at all... you're still not getting the point of this. People that rely solely on their looks are bound to be extremely insecure. Looks fade, dumb is forever...

@@elastronaute1198 We get that... I'm pretty sure 99% of people know what her main points were ahead of time. The irony is you don't get to say, "Trust me, because I am [insert topic]" because the people who don't benefit from that know what it's like to be on the other side of the fence and can see the privilege received. A great example is in dating. A young beautiful female or male has a significant advantage of finding a partner, especially male, if they are scaled 8+. That's because 80% of the women tend to be attracted to 20% of the men. So the other 80% of the men are having to fight tooth and nail for female attention, while the 20% look down and say, "ayy don't worry, it's not all that great". The issue is people say and want to do something positive, but on the other hand their actions say otherwise.

I understand her point, but so what? Acknowledging that you are privileged is not going to change anything. She still benefited from her looks. It's unfair but that's life, we are all born with different abilities. Somebody who is naturally athletic has more chance of becoming a sports pro. Is she going to give back all the money she has made or give it away to less fortunate looking people? I don't think so.

Thats literally her point. You're arguing about agreeing with her. People like you are the reason we can't enjoy nice things... smh

Haha ok so looks don't matter just as much as money doesn't matter but I rather be rich and unhappy over poor and unhappy.

Cynical Ash I am the person who wearing the spectacles is look ugly but if wearing contact lens I'm look good,my feeling is looks is fucking important

Ironically, looks Are everything for perfect looking people; people look them only by their looks, not by other characteristics of them, and fail to see them as fellow human, because they are so shiny and inhumanely well organized physically. But I guess that's the reason why they complain 'looks aren't everything'; they want to be look as a human.

ringoaikocascade Well,different ppl different mind,but I don't agree what she said

L CC she didn't say it's a problem. She pointed out that life isn't fair and society isn't fair. It favors the pretty ones and you have no control whether or not you will get that gene, so don't weight your happiness on your look because you will end up unhappy. Don't over look all the things you could be doing that don't require winning genetic lotteries. Even if you have the gene to look beautiful you might still be the most insecure woman and people won't take you seriously because you were once an underwear model.

L CC That was not her point, you relly missed out.

Lots of other comments seem to miss this

She said she still is insecure, probably more insecure than the average person

@@raycarden7941 I can understand being insecure but I don't know about being more insecure than the average person.

She said that, and with the point being that looks rule a lot of things that it shouldn't be able to. Looks are not what there is to a person, yet society is built to value looks above all else. That's the real point. You can look good and receive benefits but be miserable at the same time for entirely different reasons, or you can look a certain "bad" way and life will treat you poorly despite your personality having nothing to do with how society judges you. The key thing is, that it's always harder to speak up when you are in the segment that in the majority's eyes is benefitting from what you are talking about. A millionaire says money isn't everything? Nobody cares. A model saying looks aren't everything? People rarely care. I think she struck a good balance between highlighting the ups and downs not just for her, but for everyone, which is difficult when coming from a position where people are less likely to value your words.

@@Real_MisterSir I disagree. I know what she is trying to say but I disagree with her perspective. This entire viewpoint (intentionally in a larger/societal sense, unintentionally on the individual level) induces guilt in women for the crime of having good genes.

tom, I think Su is talking about most normal circumstances. The richest and most admired people in the world will always be loved regardless of their looks because they are self-made people, they either had a privileged upbringing, terrific luck or sheer tenacity that paid off in the end. However, for every millionaire and every visionary there are thousands who are not so fortunate that have to constantly struggle against a system that discriminates based upon looks every single day.

Amen. I couldn´t have explained it better myself

that only happens in high school. after that, beauty from the inside counts big time. yes pretty face could give u advantage, but that doesnt always last for a long time. being pretty dont always take u anywhere in life. i've met some pretty girls without character, they are only famous on the social media, and that wont always make u happy or success whatsoever. be pretty inside and outside (being pretty on the outside dont always mean pretty face. u could have average beauty but as long as u clean urself up, u're good to go), have character. thats what matters after u grow up. and what job are u talking about? entertainment, sales and model industry? yes, that kind of job requires u being pretty. but a lot of job prefer brain and skill than pretty face too.

It's so true.

It's bcoz they don't know the value of those things as they already achieved it...

Its not that since they have it they don't care....maybe their's too much imp put on this just like diamonds are valued so much but at the end of the day its just a stone when u look at it without prejudice it won't make u any happy to even if u have it.

@Elisson Dormezil First of all, my intent was like to write something like meme anyways(i hope i would get lol, haha or 🤣) but it also radiate the reality where they may say and show that those things aren't everything to them but they tend to forget or rather unsee the fact that they are and known mainly because of the things they said don't matter, as you said at first they are not born rich or beautiful and all, but initially they do crave or want to achieve it, once goal is reached they tend to show less interest consciously (though subconsciously they always want to retain and also increase it) , and this is also a psychological fact, they do talk about immaterial things of important and morals, but they tend to keep double standards between said and done (plz don't give exceptions cuz i know some) and as you talked of realistic you might know the REALITY or TRUTH of things that matter in every day world.[By the way, since in Asia(i am from india) parents are very strict about academic result and the one who do get extraordinary high score or marks are called toppers means to top in EVERYTHING, and they are very respected and looked by other]

PREACH IT

no

I agree completely. I think her writing and editing for the timeslot reduced the potential of her sincere thoughts almost to quips. I think a great forum would be for her to chat, in comfortable clothes, about her experiences as a model, and what it does for you, and what it can never do for you. I'm sure she's got some great stories! It would be pretty damn interesting to hear from someone in the modeling trenches, and someone who also appears to be thoughtful about the parts of herself that are not a model.

That is what you understood. What me - an ugly cis male understood is: She was handed everything on a silver platter, yet still it is not enough.

Here is a good response for her: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well, you might find you get what you need".

Wonderful words of inspiration right there...I once wanted to be a model when I was 16 and now? Whats changed? I have learnt to be my own model, my own image, a self that the world would look at and say God bless you, I use my beauty meticulously using it to attract men and women so that they could see my words of wisdom, with every perfect picture I upload, I attach a life inspiring quote to it, so when people see me, all they would want to do is believe in themselves and be inspired. Am glad I did not become 'the' model because I could have lost myself to this self 'constructed' look.

There are lots of models, she obviously worked hard too to get here and looks aren't everything. Thinking like that fucks people up.

👏👏👏👏

@UKposts Player It's not a lie, why is everyone judging her so harshly. Looks aren't everything, there are other things that matter other than looks. It's unfair to disregard someone just because they are beautiful.

very nice comment!

Thank you so much! I was almost getting angry as I couldn't find what is the main idea and the logic of this video, and how the content of the speech related to the title of it but I have to write an analysis essay of the video for my assignment. Your explanation makes a lot of sense to me. "Happiness is relative" would be better than "looks aren't everything". Looking through a lot of comments - they were so confusing.

+Courtney Pena Smart girl :)

PREACH

you can't miss a point which is not there, this talk is pointless

Too bad. Humans are awful.

if you are stupid, have no skill or will to work hard, yeah than all you can depend on is your looks, until you get old though!

Guys this person is being sarcastic,jokes still exist ya know

Looks can't win you a Nobel Prize.

I was just being sarcastic if anyone is confused. Looks of course don't mean everything.

You are stupid. Believe me, I am not an idiot

@The Most Interesting Man On UKposts I'm pretty ugly and not even slightly insecure so you're wrong

Yeah..

Seyyid Kkt Exactly. Like she made it quite simple.

@Danji ASMR Český She not arrogant so much as self aware. She's attractive and she knows she is, because she'd have been told that her whole life and she makes a living out of it. She doesn't make it out that she's better than everyone else though and she says herself that she just got lucky.

Ok boomer

Say whaaaaaaaaat???

@@CLASSICALFAN100 why is that confusing to you?

Excellent point

👏👏👏👏👏

Good point

YoshiPeach Mario That's not a good thing stupid. Most of the video is how she's not happy about her job and she doesn't like it. It's gotten her to where she is now and it's bad.

YoshiPeach Mario As far as i know she is the ONLY model to do a ted talk. Or are all the other speakers suddenly models? How come all those other speakers got to do a talk without good looks?? Dumbass

YoshiPeach Mario if she wasn't a model she wouldn't be talking about how we preserve image and the insecurities of a model would she ?

yep 99.999999% isn't everything

So damn right:(((( Just because that’s sth you don’t struggle with doesn’t mean that it isn’t a struggle for others

The problem is when you cannot go to the second door because you're Latino or dark-skinned... Those are things we must work on to change in modern societies. Less worse that how do you look physically is not the only component of the first door, but also, how are you dressed, how do you talk, how do you behave and even your body expressions.

Christy Ieong This topic is looks. Forcus on advantage by the difference. Do you understand?

well said

True!

Exactly! She's not saying looks don't matter. She's given multiple examples that it DOES matter and that she privileges from this fact. That's why she made this TED Talk. The people in this comment section really don't understand the point.

Preach 🗣️

exacly jeez

@Matt Frazier You are insecure man. I can tell just by that comment.That means you have bigger issues.

Do you think she was being truthful, Hmm maybe she was. What surprised me was she could walk normal not the usual stepping over invisible things. when I see them walking like that I have an uncontrollable urge to sand off my finger prints. So I can prove I have no relation to the human race.... The only bright side to sanding off your finger prints, Your now the GI Joe action figure with the KungFu GRIP!!!

I love you

that's a HUGE part of the equation.

I worked for a short time in a strip club - not my proudest moment - and I noticed the same insecurity in the women there. And it makes sense - when your entire life, your entire sense of self-worth, is built strictly around your looks, it seems only natural to be insecure about it, attractive or not.

Ann Le {Anneorshine} but people will find methods of being insecure about themselves in every other way.

RomanyGypsy92 The A's were all gifts so was the tuition.

Please never use the word 'hella' again

RomanyGypsy92 ugh i probably won't be able to even get waitlisted :(

RomanyGypsy92 So she hit the genetic jackpot. Woopdedo.

Mm. Graduating with good grades doesn't necessarily qualify you as intelligent.

Well, it's a reflection of character. Obesity looks like: irresponsible, doesn't care about self, no discipline. It's mean, but we want friends that are like us to some degree. If I'm successful, wealthy, good-looking and in relatively good health, I'm going to want similar people around me. Everyone else is just part of the hi-bye culture. It's how we navigate a population of 326 million people. It's human nature. At least we don't cannibalize opponent tribes anymore.

@@manictiger thank you for this perspective, it makes sense.

Yea being overweight is rough , it's important not to dehumanise people based on their weight especially because some weight issues both being overweight and underweight are linked to mental health issues , the fact is you don't know if somebody is just lazy or is in fact severely depressed and being self-destructive. They could have been trough god knows what and use food to escape , they may lie in their beds all day because they have no self-worth are super depressed. Those who are overweight are people too and deserve to be treated as people. You don't have to encourage obesity to show kindness and tolerance towards these kinds of struggles , what we need is to be supportive to make people who are overweight feel that they aren't horrible people and that the importance of losing weight is for them ; for their health and mobility not for them to become passable as human beings just to become healthier and freezer ! Well done for losing the weight btw (= I'm sorry you felt people treated you as a lesser person because of your weight that's not right.

@@manictiger It is mean. Humans are above are primitive intuitions and able to intellectualise the true nature of a person no matter what their weight is Honestly I'd be friends with people of all sizes , somebody with self-harm scars , I'd be friends with somebody with depression or who struggles with addiction and the fact is sometimes our friends go through bad times , they are human beings and can't be perfect all the time. As long as they are good people I'll be their friend and I don't see fat people as bad people , fat people can be loving , caring , giving , funny and smart and that's what I care about. Don't get me wrong though I wouldn't encourage them to be fat , but I would love them despite it and if I could help them lose weight I would want to , but not because them being slim makes them a better friend but because I care for them I would want them to be in good health.

​@@aprioriontoast704 The only goddamn reason you can "intellectualize" (not a real word) at all, is because we ate meat for millions of years. So yeah. You're delusional on every possible level. But hey, you do you.

or she reliezed like Anita Sarkesian that you make money off of being a SJW / Victim.

Joseph LeForte I'm pretty sure I missed that part of the speech.

I think it was courageous of her. Lovely vulnerability about her. We all grow and change. She obviously did.

***** If more people like her would do exactly what she just did, they would inspire the current and next generation to stop hating themselves and hating what they can't have. It may not fix cancer, but it certainly helps to fix the mass mental illness of today's society that we are all subject to or directly take part in.

***** Not really. I've seen a few behind the scenes of a fashion runaway. And a few of the make-up artists, stylist and designers have vocalized their preference for aware/ smart models. They're not all stuck-up and unaware; or even unconcerned about the trappings of superficiality of their business. In fact, they're more aware of it than most, arguably. And people like Cameron Russell may indeed find like minded people in her business; sympathetic and understand the pros and cons of a constructed image-emphasized work environment. And it's not like she did a Katherine Heigl, wherein she outright dismissed the industry. Cameron Russell actually inspired her would-be predecessors to aim higher than a model. 'BE HER BOSS' - if they want to be in this type of work. Anyways, she also said she "was" a model, meaning she might have retired. I don't know, I've only just heard of her after seeing this video. Ah, this comment is to the 'she probably just eight-balled herself by this talk.'

looks are important to evolution

They only do if you let them

+StillTrustNo1 Bullshit

DankBudwoi Being a slave(to whatever) is a mental choise. Maybe some day you will get there to
