At the beginning of quarantine, i was 16, and 265lbs. I worked my ass off to lose 100lbs during quarantine. I hadn’t left my house much during this time, so i didn’t have much experience in my “new body”. At the end of quarantine, i went from being obese to toned and muscular, and noticed i was treated completely differently. Women actually noticed me for once, and guys treated me with more respect. Lookism felt like i was rewatching the last few years of my life. People really do treat you completely differently based on looks and i have lived it firsthand
Same thing happened to me, even down to the age. It actually kind of made me depressed to see how much better people treated me. Made me realize how shallow humans really are
fatness, obesity, it's not related to looks though. loosing weight and becoming muscular isn't going to magically turn a short little 5'1 guy into a 6'1 basketball player. gaining muscle mass doesn't put hair back on a prematurely balding mans head. weightlifting doesn't pin back dumbo ears, or shorten a big nose, or thin out big fat guppy lips, or increase the size of a dudes jawline. do these things really matter in the long run?, NO, not really, not like some of these looks obsessed guys claim. but it's extremely disrespectful and offensive to conflate things caused by poor life choices, eating too much, being a greedy pig, and things that people can't change due to poor genetics.
@@sw0re0 literally exactly how i feel
@@nunyabaznus7851 found the incel!! hit the gym and improve yourself everyone can
except early lookism could never make extremely well written villains/characters that still hold the main theme of lookism such as Olly Wang, Jiho Park, Jake Kim, Sinu Han, and Arguably the best and most heartfelt arc (Jake Kim Arc). New Lookism>>>>>old lookism cope🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
The manhwa started as Lookism but eventually turned into Gangsterism.
Yep, that's why I dropped it.

The switch to a gangster fighting genre in Lookism is a great decision because it exposes the negative aspects of Korean society while improving on the original story. By introducing characters such as Johan, Eli Jang, and Big Deal, the story delves into the struggles of those living in poverty and how they cope with the harsh realities of their lives. Johan, for example, had to fight and steal to afford an eye surgery for his ill mother. Meanwhile, Eli Jang had to protect his new family, because his biological family had abandoned him as a child. Big Deal's current leader, Jake Kim, was also struggling to make ends meet to be able to protect his street, only for it to end up in the hands of the largest criminal organization in Seol. These stories paint a vivid picture of the struggles of those living in poverty and the lengths they must go to survive. By exploring these themes, Lookism offers readers a more in-depth and nuanced look at the issues plaguing Korean society. It is ironic that some people are repelled by the switch in genre for Lookism, as the show is actually trying to make an important statement about how people judge things too quickly. Through the story of its characters, Lookism illustrates the power of stereotypes and prejudice and how they can shape people's perspectives. By introducing the gangster fighting genre, the show highlights how even something as seemingly innocent as a television show can be judged harshly for its genre. In this way, Lookism serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of making snap judgments and speaks to the importance of taking the time to get to know something before passing judgment.
I love it
Started out as lookism and then evolved into Korean version of Tokyo revengers.
This is a thing that goes on in every culture every race. I'm a black man it goes on and all race darker lighter taller shorter I mean it and when you think about it it's ridiculous
Exactly!
True
People that deny if people judge people based solely off their appearance first are all in denial. It’s the first thing we look at. Literally.
It's a real thing in the world regardless where you are. I can feel subtle differences in the way people treat me depending on just if i wear my glasses or contacts on a given day. Glasses on = invisible nerd. Glasses off = people say stuff like "woah you should wear your contacts more often" or "you actually clean up pretty well".
It may seem ridiculous but lookism is human nature, whether you wanna believe it or not.
Lookism is definitely real! I used to have a severe underbite that got worse as I grew up, destroyed my self-confidence. In 2020 I had double jaw surgery to correct my bite and braces to fix my smile, and now my teeth are perfect. People are super welcoming and it’s a lot easier to get girls. Looks aren’t everything, but it’s definitely an advantage in life
weren't you able to get your surgery earlier? it would've saved you a lot of heart break during teenage years
@@NoctLightCloud unfortunately you have to wait until you’re done growing, the orthodontist and surgeon said I couldn’t get it done until I was at least 21 years old :/ but, it all worked out in the end 🙏
@@liammac4580 wow I see! Then all those young East Asian celebs doing nose surgery and jaw surgery at 15, 16 yrs of age can be quite a bad idea once they grow up completely😵
It was great to see an Asian show discuss present bullying and looks in such a brutal way. The first episode seeing the main character getting preyed upon daily was gut-wrenching. In America I feel like being an Asian minority compounded the issue of looks. Like in high school for an Asian guy to get the blonde cheerleader he would have to be extremely exceptional.
Well then... I guess I was extremely exceptional back in high school and even in college. 😎
Blonde cheerleaders are overrated, I need me a mentally unstable redhead with daddy issues that will send me make me mentally ill
I didn't get a blonde chereleader,but managed to get a pretty good looking,5exual Mexican girl back in highschool.
Well, she was into anime like Death Note so that helped.
I'm also actually good looking based on Asian standard though I'm not that tall.
@@Eric-dd8bk latinas are hornier, it's not new.
Looks and personality is 50/50. Only thing is that looks are what will get people to interact with you for the first few times and personality is what will make them stay.
would you date a fat ugly person with the personality you like?
That's a fact.
Yea that's true, that's why the ladies that went for thugs are coming to me 😹 lmao
Nah you can get always with being weird and boring in conversation if you very attractive..
@@yoboybigj875 that get olds very fast. I speak from experience.
Even without a second body, looks are observable by simply going out like in PJs with messy hair and slippers vs dressing up nice and swing how people treat you. As a tomboy that dresses in big tshirts and baggy pants, I decided one day to dress girly, and overnight people who knew me as much a decade changed as if under a spell, it's very strange and it happens to this day even with friends. Appearance signals more than we might want to admit.
Going out in pjs yoga pants and messy hair, imo regardless of looks, shows how little self care you have for yourself. Look im not saying everyone has time or in the mood or perfect but again you are going out... at least wear jeans or nice pants with a clean not stained shirt. First impression are real
I read the manhwa, its really good and hilarious. I almost didn't even paid attention to the social commentary or the whole lookism part of it, later on it deviated completely from that and turned into a Jet Li movie so I had to stop for a bit
Yeah the premise at first was interesting then the whole plot did a 180 and now its about gang fighting with other schools. Dropped it because its just recycled fighting scenes of the main character winning fights.
@@JayZinger 360 is the same thing lmao, did you mean 180? and personally I, along with others, enjoy the current plot much more than the cheesy high-school drama than it was. Also, lookism was ALWAYS about gangs and fighting...if you couldn't even see that then you probably shouldn't have read it in the first place
@@TogamiBruh the gangster aspect is really bad. if thats what they were going for they shouldve emphasized it in the first place
@@TogamiBruh nah they were going for the the ugly kid becomes a better looking kid story line plot - focusing on the superficial aspects of appearances during the high school years. There was 0 indication at the beginning of the novel and even several chapters in that it would escalate to gang fights and gangsters
@@JayZinger They weren't ever, how could it be implied so? Some of the bullies were connected somehow to one of the 4 major crews or some other major gang... it was going to eventually lead the main crew to fight them. Though I feel like sometimes the crying scenes can be really goofy and befit more slice of life comedy
What can be said? Life is fundamentally unfair. Do what you can, suffer what you must.
How's LIFE unfair.... it's competition, bring your BEST self forward, do what you can & use what you got!
@@invisiblerevolution it’s unfair bro lmao end of convo
@@cryaboutit7499
The universe 🌌 gave you the ability... it's up to you to use it!
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
@@invisiblerevolution the universe didn't give you the ability to change your entire physical appearance and economic status. The universe doesn't give you height, abs and rich parents just because you "work hard". Get over it.
Glad to see this topic getting a lot of increased awareness, slowly allowing it to be more openly discussed and acknowledged. Keep up the good work
I used to get called fei loh aka "fat guy" behind my back by Cantonese speakers because they didn't think I could understand. I was about 115kg and 186cm.
I've also been 72kg and 186cm, guys definitely didn't show me respect girls told me how skinny I was and some told me I should work out.
I am around 90kg to 95kg now and I workout regularly and I definitely get alot more respectful interactions with people. I've even had shorter, smaller WMAF men look at me angrily or insecurely when I was just minding my own busienss before which was weird.
There's a lot of difference in how I been treated when I was fat, skinny and "healthy" looking. To be honest I have been lucky because I am on the taller side which has helped me.
Height doesn't matter. You probably have a chad face
Yeah, it's been known for a long time that attractive people have a significantly better life than unattractive or average people. IIRC, it's called the Halo Effect. If you're attractive people will ascribe all sorts of positive traits to that person, find it difficult to believe negative things about said person, be more forgiving of mistakes, and are more likely to jump to the defense of the attractive person. As David and Andrew said, all these little things DO affect the formation of someone's confidence, self-esteem, etc...
This is also something all groups can recognize (lookism), even if some groups are more extreme about it than others (as stated, East Asia is insane about imposing this one, really narrow beauty ideal for men and women).
that's false. the Negative halo usually overrides any small benefit. watch that Netflix show "The Boys". they portray this captain america type superhero as an evil sociopath douchebag, and the ugly guys are the brave noble heroes fighting injustice, while this tall handsome good looking guy is the true villain of the story. the media has been pushing this same old drum beat since Revenge of the Nerds in 1980. the King of Queens, and The Big Bang Theory. woomeen are influenced by this propoganda and will view good looking guys as cheaters, players, fu*kboys, Mimbos, male bimbos. and view unattractive guys as sweet, kind, caring, lovable goofballs with a heart of gold.
@@nunyabaznus7851 Please go reread the studies done on this. Tall, attractive people are significantly more likely to benefit from positive appraisals than average or below-average people.
The Halo effect is strong, and frequently leads people to seek wisdom, guidance, advice, etc... from people that are flat out LESS qualified uglier folks. This winds up overlapping with we see from the Dunning-Kruger effect where folks who aren't as skilled as experts feel the most confident to chime in and believe themselves competent.
In our media dominated age we are bombarded with this nasty confluence. A lot of low skill, incompetent people who are getting attention mainly because they're attractive, tall, and attractive.
It's a rare blessing to find a collected and reasonable person in the comments. Love reading calm and insightful thoughts such as yours!
9:00 "It is important to know where you're at"... Agreed. But it's incredible how common it is now for women who are 4's, 5's, 6's, and 7's to call themselves 10's.
This is incredibly common, someone can make a long montage video of clips of women saying "I'm a 10" pulled from many youtube videos
They don't understand what decides the value of a product is the consumers, not the sellers. Basically the market determines the value, not the seller, w0men in this case.
Preach❤️❤️❤️ love you guys ❤❤❤, they’re not ready for this kind of conversation
Thanks for the reco, the anime is pretty amazing & wholesome.
Absolutely, this is called pretty privilege!
To make light of the situation my family says our chocolate lab puppy has pretty privilege. The look he gives you when he is messing up melts all anger away.
I always say that fleabag is the definition of pretty privilege.
I've been improving my looks for a while. I already have personality, I just lack looks and height. My goal this year is to burn 50lbs hopefully my facial features can pop up more, thus helping me in getting women. I'm Mexican American who happens to have no social circle outside of family. I've always been an outcast growing up. It's time to change that.
I was old school, lookiism was well embedded in the black family structure; the lighter the complexion; the straighter and longer the hair, you were considered the favored child, looked upon . The Asians aren't the only ones.
I can see regardless of race, I hate people with yellow teeth, and gummysmile
Pretty good webtoon/Korean animation. I hope they do another season.
Looks determine how our personality is perceived. Qoves the CZcams channel gives great explanation of how different genetic phenotypes are the foundation of cultural beauty standards and will favor or hinder you more in specific geographic parts of the world. It does evolve slowly over time a for example with the momentum of preselection thtough trends that have staying power.
Andrew is looking good with that haircut 💯🔥
It fits his facial features more.
Fades are awesome.
Good job
Humans are primarily a sight based species compared to other senses, like we use our sense of sight for pretty much everything from observation, judgement, etc. Being more attractive is definitely something that helps you overall in terms of how you're perceived by others. That's a good point about the fishbowls where depending what circles you're swimming in, you're better for one area than another..
This is so obvious but people deny it for some reason
I loved this webtoon's concept. Even if people don't have a literal other body, I think people have their inner insecurities juxtaposed to the outer self they show to society. Good advice about different circles. I know black women are also listed as the least desired for numerous reasons. I decided quite a while ago to enjoy life and not worry about these studies. Real life has a way of proving many of these talking points wrong.
Cope
@@alexgreber2570 I never understood why people type this. It is a meaningless reply that brings nothing to the conversation.
I mean I find black women very attractive, but the studies just mean that on average people find certain groups less attractive. I feel like most people struggle to think statistically.
This helped a lot you guys breaking down where the origins of idea came from.
I saw that video on Netflix but I didn't watch it. After this video finishes, I'm going to watch it now....
"My son/daughter is so good looking." I think it's the precise opposite with Asian parents. Usually they gravitate towards put downs and making passive aggressive remarks like they'll subtly point out how you might be too chubby or if you're breaking out, they'll criticize your acne directly. But yes, looks absolutely matter and influence how you're perceived by others. Halo effect. If you're good looking, people will think more highly of you and treat you better. It's an ingrained psychological bias that we're all guilty of.
6:16 LOL this is so true, all my parents wanted out of me was to be tall and have a good job
lookism probably wasn't as extreme in the yrs past like the 80s, 90s but since the early 2000s that all started to change a great deal.which is why i believe society is fundamentally breaking down, and going through this metaphorsis to adjust to this lookism age of constant photos constant approval seeking and constant like searching. Its madness but its the world we live in and people are only now starting to figure it out. The west is late and still living in denial on the surface but i think ppl are aware of its existence and how real the ramifications can be
I watched lookism and I thought it was really exaggerated. I’m half chinese, half white, lived in Canada for my 20 years of life. I never realized how much looks play a part in east asia. I think there’s definitely less of that in north america. I talked to my korean friend, and watched this. It really opened up my eyes
I really been watching since the “life of a sneaker head” videos 😂
I hafta say my coming of age was like a dream. Growing up as say a fatty or 'husky' it had all melted away when I reached high school. And then the world of girls was like my oyster. What a life turned right side up. Even once forbidden girls who I thought were outright snobby and racist started to come around. I couldn't believe what was unfolding.
I noticed this when I went to S. Korea the first time at 20 yrs old with dreadlocks and being a black american man... yooooo while the young chicks were just nice to me. these middle aged women in S. Korea.. Yooooo I got hit on by them, right down to almost harassment.. One lady grabbed by butt on the subway in Seoul.. yea Lookism is a thing... I got discounts, and at some liquor shops I got homemade shit for free on top of my purchases I made.. Meanwhile one of my friends who was an average looking yt dude form australia got like zero love. like no love at all in S. Korea. It was an interesting dynamic... I was living in JApan at the time and in Japan, I never got that much attention, but people were always super kind to me, and opened up a lot once they knew I spoke the language. making things a lot easier and relaxing to go into social interactions that weren't in English..
Damn
That last song was 🔥
I kept up with Lookism for years since the manhwa first came out but stopped right before chapter 300. It slowly dropped just about all social commentary, which by itself isn’t terrible, except that social commentary was at the heart of the slower paced subplots, which were what made the story worth reading. Can’t speak on the newest 100-ish chapters (manhwa is now at 423), but I’d bet nothing’s changed 😔
I grew up in Korea and this show depicts koreas bullying very accurately. I was bullied for being a nerd (still am) but now that im taller, fit, good style, financial stable, I get treated differently.
Also, the Korean hiring system based on looks is very true. I don’t think im good looking, but I have been hired by Korean employers based on my looks.
But obviously, I lost that privilege when I came to America because Asian men are at the bottom of the pyramid in the dating scene.
Yes and asian American women are giving power to both dark and light American. They're more likely concern to them than asian men. If you say why are you a sheep to them..these women will be likely to villianise you to defend them.
If you are Korean then Kpopmaxx and quit complaining. You aren't at the bottom of the dating pool.
@@DRHOLEEFOOK he is in usa. I heard the Americans specially the dark ones says Korean guys are weak and skinny. He should stay in asia.
@@exalkalibor924 LOL he could Kpopmaxx anywhere and slay easily. He just isn't trying. It isn't going to be easier for him anywhere else than the US.
@@DRHOLEEFOOK who’s complaining? And I’ve never heard of that word before. I already have a woman and never had any issues finding one either but I’m just saying that I went back down to 2 from 6 when I came to America.
Is lookism a real word? I thought maybe they translated it wrong when I watched the show.
I don't know how I would feel if I woke up in a different, better body. I know I hate that I get judged by my looks in life. Pretty people definitely have an advantage in life.
this isn’t women’s fault that men don’t talk about lookism. Women have had countless conversations about the beauty industry and the effect on society. Men are late to the conversation, we can’t make them stop talking about tech, sports, and video games.
I disagree, although this is a guys perspective and take on this there is bias here already however I think that there definitely is that traditionally raised asian crowd that doesn’t teach women or men about lookism. I grew up in Hong Kong and many of my local friends, girls and guys will tell me stories (even today) about their parents talking about their experiences with lookism and it doesn’t seem like it was something that was on the table for discussion at all…there is a proportion of asian families that are incredibly conservative about the culture and in my opinion, to an extent there is a xenophobic attitude towards different races, in a lot of different aspects
@@julian. ok but why blame women?
@@cryaboutit7499 i don’t think i blamed women at all there! im neutral on this, this WAS also the male perspective on the issue. i wanted to disagree on being late to the conversation, traditional conservatism is prevalent throughout asian culture and to be honest I don’t support it, but am just making an observation. Perhaps saying I disagree made you think i was saying this person was completely wrong.
I think it’s Plain and simple though - both genders do the same shit to each other and there’s really no one to fault here other than ourselves. It’s like saying i won’t stop so you won’t stop and it keeps going on a circle, round and round. Kinda depressing really. Other than that have a blessed day 👍
if there was a solution, it would be the combined effort of everyone having the power to decide whats right.
No one blamed women in this video what are you even talking about?
Its strange hearing you all on this because i consider myself coming from a goodlooking family even though we have fatties & shorties amongst us; when the kids & us adults walk around together people stare & check us out and do admire us, you get proud because we got good genes... but thankfully we are all really smart have outgoing personalities & do well in school & work so we dont rely on looks to maneoever in life! Reaffirming that strong supportive family is vitally important for stable self esteem!💪💪💪
Fresh cut Andrew!
I think on cancel culture. People are more secretive about their hate for ugly people. I myself am very ugly buy I have confidence enough to not care. I take care of myself to the point that I think I'm good 6 or 7 at best. Therefore, I'm the side character. And I don't do bad with the ladies. So I'm pretty happy about that. You got this guys.
its real everywhere. as a black guy i have been bullied for my looks constantly just like daniel. only on the internet where people dont see my face do i get respect
I think I know you
Lookism was a very great show. It's also a great comic book on naver!
Gotta admit. I did tear up during the concert. Probably the highlight of the show.
I love this show
We need more like em'!
I'm a 1,77m female who's never been with a guy her own height or taller. Mine were all shorter. And by shorter I mean below 1,70m.
Gotta say, there's something great about a guy's personality who doesn't have an issue with looking like a hobbit next to his girl. 😜
So, hello all you short asian guys who don't mind looking even shorter. 👋
Don't be too scared to try.
Think of it as a personality test: a woman who's so shallow she doesn't give you a chance because of your height, isn't worth it anyway.
But if you don't try, you'll never know.
Lookism is real everywhere. Face matters more than body.
This is true. Anyone who things height and body is more important is delusional
@@ML-rs7we Although appearance is stronger, height is more influential in reality. Because it is very difficult to be handsome. Of course, tall people are rare, but handsome faces are even rarer. In order to be handsome, various genetic information must be harmonized. Since most men are ordinary in appearance, just being tall is a huge advantage. In addition, appearance has a taste depending on the person. 5 to 7 are flexible according to taste. On the other hand, height is objectified, and the taller the better.
I have well above avg face I dont have height... I get rejected cause of height
I’m 6’0 and decently fit body. but I get rejected for my face
@@tibetan.music.universe I'm sorry to say this, but why don't you shave your mustache first before blaming your appearance?
They'll judge and compare. You can definitely feel it as subtly as they do it.
In general looks do matter and easier for good looking people. But sometimes very good looks can hurt a person too….in certain careers especially for attractive women.
It’s still better to be attractive overall
I watched a Korean movie maybe, and its similar to lookism but the MC is a girl, and she had a surgery to look beautiful. I didn’t finish it though because it was playing in a restaurant, and I didn’t stay to watch the whole thing, I just got the gist of what happened after she had her surgery.
I think the series was called “My ID is gangnam beauty”. A girl who used to be “ugly” but got surgery and became “pretty” when she entered university.
Let me tell you one thing ... I have never cared about my height ever and didn't even checked it unless this Internet thing ! . My height never stopped me from approaching women or fight taller guys ... In a fight idk but i never was afraid of the opposite tall guy but after all this internet stuff I have really been affected !. I am 5'6 and 17 ... I am from india and I am taller than 90% girls of my age and I am very handsome and have muscular body .... This height thing is more obsessed in USA or Europe is what I feel !!! Cuz the top celebrity Indian men whom girls desires are all 5'7 or below !!
What about kpop idols ???? Millions of girls go crazy for them .... Are they 6 foot ?
Wheatwaffles should make a vid on lookism 🤣
It's real everywhere, just at different levels. Like in Hollywood. Because humans are *naturally visual* creatures
I'm glad this video for the most part didn't try to blame the media or being Asian for not having success dating outside your race. It all boils down to the individual
This anime was fire
LOL lookism is a cool term
I just wanted to inform that if you don't know we use a term for this already it is called "pretty privilege"
Lol irl I'm a 9. On dating apps, I'm a 7. I get lost in a sea of faces. But also, no "accredited degree." I'm older and just hot enough that I could be a bot. But, I'm a boring bot. 😂
White guy living in east asia here, what you are describing is face (saving face). It is often more important for things to have the look rather than what is true.
Lookism and windbreaker are our chance to shine boys. Get a trendy hair cut, take care of your skin and hit the gym an I promise you you'll be getting hella chicks
Is this a jab towards wheat waffles lol
guy. im a balding short asian guy...and somehow i still managed to get married.
There are a few crazy women into asians (fetish) because of anime and will not matter how they look like so long as they are asian... this applies to men as well looking for asia women. Im not saying your wife is one of these but its reason enough for match ups.
This is originally on Webtoon and this was pretty cool. Looki is hard to admit but its fact.
This is very morbid question. But does anybody ever wonder why any traits we find ugly physically in a human haven't been nearly eradicated out of the gene pool yet? I understand in history small towns and stuff and status and safety and all gave less options. But do yall get what I mean?
Did they not mind these traits back then and are we the weird ones? Just something I have always wondered.
We hear nonstop how hard it is for ugly people to find anybody.
So what they hell have they been doing for all this time to get laid?
Lookism is based on it’s Webtoon comic on Webtoons, it’s a pretty interesting Webtoon. I never thought this would become a animation series on Netflix but it’s pretty cool.
Dude in the yellow cap has great energy but he interrupts so much. I noticed the other guy couldn’t finish a handful of his comments.
Things ain’t LOOKING for the Asian community.
0:36 Wheatwaffles???
Just ask Larry Gao if life is easier, he is “lookism” character irl
Pictures on a CV in South Korea? That's quite unsettling. So if someone isn't considered attractive by Korean beauty standards, they aren't able to get a job, despite being well qualified?
It is a common practice throughout all of Asia.
Because there are plenty of people that are qualified and also attractive
Yeah, it's a scumbag move and completely unnecessary. It allows employers to be racists on top of being prejudiced against average or unattractive people that are otherwise fully qualified for the position.
It depends on the job... I doubt that restaurant cooks, electricians, auto and general machinery mechanics, carpenters, blacksmiths, foundry workers, potters, embroiders, and machinists will be hired on the basis of their looks...
@@musafawundu6718 Unfortunately, it still happens but as Andrew and David noted: In fields like that your skills and experience will matter even more since looks really don't mean much.
Lookism is a real thing and I say this as a Korean guy.
I'm a guy that people would look again or turn their heads whenever I pass them. I'm good looking based on Asian standards, though I'm not so tall.
But what you quickly learn is that looks may attract people, but keeping them is a whole another beast.
I don't have a strong character, I'm not shy but an introvert and I'd rather stay alone than with a bunch of people talking about a bunch of useless gossip, and even when I'm with people, I don't say much, and that slowly but surely pushed people away even though I'm good enough looking to have people turn their heads whenever I walk past them.
So even if you are not that good looking, if you have the personality that's likable, you can put it to more uses than just looks alone.
And with girls, I was asked out by a number of girls and I did with some of them, but they were always first to break up with me because they couldn't feel any vibes in me. They couldn't tell whether I liked them or not,or they couldn't tell whether they are with a man or a robot.
What happened to Andrew’s crop top?
Tru I’m 6’2 Chinese guy and life is a lot easy in USA but i hate that society values these things the most but gotta play the game lol
Its simply accepting my culture and ethnicity is not currently a trend and there is less representation of it in popular media. I know I look young and have a nice face can even be attractive with some cleanning up but i know for a fact because of my ethnic genetics i wont ever look like the models movie stars in the west much less the east lol and these two ethnicities are the most popular. If i live up in the north western side i am 2 but if i go back to my southern roots im a 6. We all know only really good gentic looking people are celebrities and for good reasons. We all enjoy watching a good looking man or women on screen. Thus they represent what everyone should look like but in reaity not. Media is meant to be an illusion for entertainment not reality. Unfortunately we are straying to far from that
South Korea is the most look centric of all... But I do not believe that those seeking to hire mechanical and civil engineers, electricians, auto and general machinery mechanics, carpenters, machinists, and foundry technicians will just throw a guy out of the pile of the CV just on the basis of looks...
and other countries are following this… what a world
@@mashitta5969 no others not crazy on getting plastic surgery
Yes it does. This korean guy i go to school with has a brother who has shitty eyes. He kept getting rejected for jobs. Then he got eye surgery and got better looking and applied for those same jobs and got them. And he didn't change his resume or anything. He is a software dev
@@ML-rs7we
Software developer is not among the jobs that I listed... Most of the jobs that I listed are blue collar hands on craft related and/or artisanal jobs...
@@musafawundu6718 same thing applied to construction workers there
Love the video. But incels are gonna love this episode
Lookism anime can't even be compared to the manhwa.
People need to get on the manhwa. Its got some of the most in depth characters in fiction (Jiho, Olly Wang).
Read it years ago surprised it is getting something
9:39 I think Qoves is Indian lol
Looks always matter. Anyway who says looks don't matter is full of shit. Someone literally has to be blind to overlook your looks.
The switch to a gangster fighting genre in Lookism is a great decision because it exposes the negative aspects of Korean society while improving on the original story. By introducing characters such as Johan, Eli Jang, and Big Deal, the story delves into the struggles of those living in poverty and how they cope with the harsh realities of their lives. Johan, for example, had to fight and steal to afford an eye surgery for his ill mother. Meanwhile, Eli Jang had to protect his new family, because his biological family had abandoned him as a child. Big Deal's current leader, Jake Kim, was also struggling to make ends meet to be able to protect his street, only for it to end up in the hands of the largest criminal organization in Seol. These stories paint a vivid picture of the struggles of those living in poverty and the lengths they must go to survive. By exploring these themes, Lookism offers readers a more in-depth and nuanced look at the issues plaguing Korean society. It is ironic that some people are repelled by the switch in genre for Lookism, as the show is actually trying to make an important statement about how people judge things too quickly. Through the story of its characters, Lookism illustrates the power of stereotypes and prejudice and how they can shape people's perspectives. By introducing the gangster fighting genre, the show highlights how even something as seemingly innocent as a television show can be judged harshly for its genre. In this way, Lookism serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of making snap judgments and speaks to the importance of taking the time to get to know something before passing judgment.
It's over for you ricecels lmao
lookism has been around for centuries. I think the various media is what makes it more attention-catching. my parents always tell me to dress smart way before social media but I don't care. I only care about dressing comfortably.
looks is lindy
isn't there a better word than lookism?
I feel like this whole kpop trend that's been going on for a long time now has set unrealistic standards for Asian men, it's like if you don't look like their favorite idols or any idol then you're just another Asian guy with glasses who's good at math
It's real , I was skinny before the I got a good haircut clearer skin and some muscles all of a sudden women likes me, I am tall though than the average
Human beings in general regardless of ethnicity judge and discriminate. Like how else are you going to get interested lol
"Lookism" is real, but don't let it defer you. Your ethnicity, skin tone, hair type, etc. are what makes you unique, so you have to use what you're given and make yourself look good. It takes work but nothing comes easy.
Unique in a bad way
Looks matter most because of biology, that is the only way we can tell if a person is ideal, healthy and superior.
The black pill isn’t just popular in Asian communities, it’s prevalent in the whole world because it’s human nature.
You guys should go check out the CZcamsr Dbdr, he’s a 22 year old dude from NYC who struggles in life due to his inferior genetics.
He goes more in depth on the black pill and sometimes gives very interesting and thought-provoking theories.
He also has some funny videos.
LMAO. Inferior genetics! I can't cope anymore
One thing that stands out is that most often in anime and also kpop (where they try and make the singers look like anime characters), the ideal is for men to look like they have the body of a grown man with the face of a 12 year old school boy, with the school boy haircut, delicate features and protruding ears. Its kinda creep actually how child-like characteristics are underlined fro the sake of 'cuteness'. I guess that is appealing to school girls, which is the primary market for this kind of fare.
Well, they look like 12 year old boys based on European looks and age scale.
They look like they are in their 20s or late teen age based on Asian looks and aging standards actually.
Taking a bias training at work and I wish they would show this instead of the crap stats they posted in the training. Literally they put into the training that women with % of body mass lose $ like primos ext. Fkn corporate
People forget that your looks is extension of your personality.
If you are untidy, unhealthy and unfashionable you may equally be unreliable in other fields.
Let’s get shredded together kings do deez
What about douchism…
I just want to add alot people who may not know there is a term for this called "pretty privilege" witch is the thought that you get certain privileges because your attractive
Take lookism to the next level... not just looks for your culture/race... but if your race is traditionally seen as undesirable as a partner, it won't matter in some or a lot of cases. It's wrong, but the dating game is a cruel competitive place.
One of the weird culture in south korea lol
My parents always say “he/she is/isn’t even good looking” 😂 next is height
The mangwa I could only bother up to the point where the soul swap guy got in a fight( wasn't a fan of the message delivered regarding equating a default build body being instinctually combat ready, looks don't matter in fight in my opinion), at that point it lost me, the protagonist was average looks whom was overweight not obese, but not ugly, not to say I would describe people as "ugly" in word usage I'd be a subhuman at that point, perhaps ugly if your devoid of soul and spirit(evil), but looks wise contrast is needed in life otherwise everyone would be as common as an assembly line product. Every culture has a historical beauty standard, with the mangwa of 'Lookism' I notice western shallowness with brand name materilism was prevalent in what was portrayed, I know various asian cultures vary, but I'm ignorant to what is trully Korean culture before western and world interaction influenced forty years ago to present day. Lastly on the subject of having above average looks whether male or female, I lived enough to know it can lead to narcism, pride, and arrogance add to it being a cut throat rat in the race you deserve the karma you will eventually get in this life or the next, beauty can be aquired by good or evil people and their is nothing more I can say.
Good look is not always genetics (does not apply to all people), but simply good clothing style, healthy lifestyle and proper hygiene.
Fat guys just eat a lot and barely exercise to be fat. Fit guys put real effort to be fit.
A dude that only sits on his ass and only complains will never be good looking.
You see, that's a talking point of Europeans or the western society.
Asians are particular about the nose shape, the size of the eyes and lips, the shape of a jaw line, also certain hair length, the angle of their eyebrows, the distance between the eyes and the eyebrows, the distance between the eyebrows and the hairline, and all those details matter to Asians, and their beauty standards are set based on all those elements.
Where as Europeans, I'm going off of Caucasian standards here, look at the eye color, the hair color, and smile for the most part.
Proper hygiene, good style and life style are nothing but bare minimum. So you need to have all the elements above right on top of proper hygiene, life and clothing style in Asia.
@@Eric-dd8bk If you’re bothered by the things you can’t change about yourself because you care about what others think of you, you’ve already lost in life. If you workout you are already doing more than most people. Being confident in your own skin is what will attract people, but I will agree in Asia they look for those features, and most people in Asia are either really skinny or really fat so
@@deadman123x
I'm not bothered by those elements since I'm pretty good looking even based on the picky Asian standards though I'm not tall. I'm not buff buff but I do have a fit body as well and I do dress trendy unless the trend does not suit me. so.
And I have to say again that is a talking point of again a Cockasians because it's a default that you guys don't care about those minor details about your facial features. That's why plastic cergery is so common in Asia, particularly in Korea and Japan, because they are all about those minor details.
Not saying it's healthy. But there is a cultural difference at play here and what's healthy depends on different cultures I'd say.
You can do all of that and still be average or below. What truly makes a person attractive is genetic. A fat guy can become fit just to find out that he’s still not attractive
@@TricksterLawlet Have you tried to become fit and found this out or know many guys who had to face that? In my eyes a simple fact of having a fit body makes someone more attractive. It doesn't reduce, only adds.
