“men don’t age better than women. they’re just allowed to age.” - carrie fisher
Hearing her saying that women are more attracted to guys who are standing in the rain romantically than guys with muscles reminded me of the time a girl in my Engineering class said
“He has to be taller than me, like even when I’m in high heels. I would literally leave him at the altar if I was wearing high heels and he was shorter.”
I feel like the unrealistic body standards go both ways.
@@liammadden7572 There's a difference between systemic marginalization and individual incidents of ignorance.
@@manicmuffinWell said and I agree. However, systemic marginalization is often built upon individual incidents of ignorance. Just as many young women are putting so much stock into their youth, many young men are also putting too much stock into their appearance, especially height. While the marginalization is not nearly as deep or concerning (aside from the horrible height increasing procedure) the internet seems to be rapidly accelerating all young peoples negative perception of themselves. As a 32 yr old short guy, I can say height and age are not nearly as important as simply living life and not worrying. People, youth especially, really need to understand that the beauty standards portrayed by the internet, media, and ignorant loud mouths should mostly be ignored. I say mostly because I think it is beneficial to preserve youth through healthy natural means such as exercise, avoiding cigarettes, excessive alcohol consumption, stress etc. I wish I spent more of my youth less worried about my appearance and height, I know I would have been much happier and more successful with dating. There is an attractiveness that comes from not caring so much about what how you look or how you're perceived. A guy standing in the rain romantically doesn't care how tall he is, what his hair looks like, or how many wrinkles anyone has, he doesn't even care if his socks are wet. It's sad because there are many young men that think themselves as almost less than human for being short, and many young women that will have a literal mental breakdown when they inevitably get their first wrinkle, and none of it really matters.
I mean it's true that aging for men is more societally acceptable, men actually do age "better", at least skinwise. The epidermis has more layers in men (literally have thicker skin) which means they get less sun damage and therefore age more slowly. Also why women bruise more easily than men! But then balding is an issue so it's not all pros 😅

My mom didn't get to get old. She died young of cancer. That has really affected my feelings around aging. Time is a gift. Wrinkles are a sign you've made it a long time in a very difficult world.
Sad and beautifully true ❤
So are grey hairs!
Yeah skincare users act like it's a sign of ugliness-
Im so sorry for your loss❤
@@MICAELACartagenanot all of them. Also to maddiejoy sorry for your loss!
"Kissing my cat on his tiny forehead" is the realest thing I've ever heard
This makes me want to kiss my cat on her tiny forehead
Update : I kissed my cat on her tiny forehead
Ikr I am absolutely gonna develop the most intense mouth wrinkles from kissing my reptiles so much! It flexes that they are loved and that I have little babies in my life that give me this much happiness in my life!
not drinking when you're thirsty does indeed help you stop aging. thats called death.
"how to never Look old : die Young"
that one was just straight up a disorder
I think those people mean “don’t wait until your thirsty to drink water but drink water throughout the day” (I mean, I hope that’s what theyre saying)
@@thoughtsofafanI keep wondering why she was drinking cream instead of water. Who drinks whole cream straight from the carton 😅
@@thoughtsofafan I did not watch what they actually said but I'm guessing it either means: Drink water at scheduled times to avoid pursuing your lips as much as possible, OR drink water throughout the day to avoid getting dehydrated. Hopefully the healthy advice
You know what probably really ages a person? Stressing yourself out about aging to the point where you’re spending hours on a skin care routine.
so true. waiting for everyone to realize that less can most definitely be more.
What did it for me was just the rocks on that one beach
Let's just smoke weed (or don't) and enjoy the moment. ❤
Yk my dad’s 39 years old now and he doesn’t have a grey hair he’s a happy man
And here I’m 17 with gray hair🧍🏻♀️
@@igloo_31people dye their Hair Grey sooo~. I dyed my Hair White, Last year. Embrace it,hehe
58 year old here. I don't own makeup, because I don't wear it. I have already outlived several friends, who never got to be the age I am today. My skin care "routine"? Wash face. Quick swipe with Seabreeze toner. Apply moisturizer with some spf. Done. I'm busy just living, and I'm not wasting an hour in front of a mirror, trying to fake being under 30. I earned every wrinkle, I earned every silver hair, and I'm okay with that.
:)
slay
Me too!
That’s beautiful.
"My momma made me promise never to hit a woman, so Im gonna have to settle for destroying her in the marketplace of ideas" might be one of the wittiest lines I've heard in a good long while. Also, you completely annihilated her at "get bent"
loved the moment in the Barbie movie where she tells the old woman "you're beautiful" and she responds "i know!". ageing is beautiful because it shows you've lived a long life.
That was one of my favorite parts! Yes, aging is and can be beautiful
I cried the most at that scene cause I was reminded of my mother who thinks that her now wrinkled skin is horrible and ugly…when in fact, she’s the most beautiful woman in my life and she’ll continuously be 💓
That’s my favorite scene!! It’s stuck with me hardcore since! It made aging seem beautiful and aspirational because that’s what it should be!! To live that long is a blessing no matter what you end up looking like!
The actress playing that lady was actually the real girl that the Barbie doll was inspired by
@@sws496 it’s not her, that’s been going around but it’s not true. still a great scene
I bet you a nickel the “no wrinkle” straw was originally invented for disabled people with little to no facial muscle (or general mobility like holding & lifting a drink) control so this makes independently drinking things more accessible
Yep, probably! Most "made for TV" items are disability aids marketed to a larger audience. Like foot scrubbers for a shower, it isn't some "hack"; it's for people who can't bend down to reach their feet. Or folks who use shower chairs who can't move their legs. It's a shame that aids have to be marketed towards the public to be affordable ://
yeah, a lot of weird products you see and think "who would ever need that?" are targeted towards the disabled and elderly but are marketed toward general audiences, it's really strange when you think about how they don't market those things more toward people who actually use them
You’re probably right-
@@jasperjazzie Yeah, like those moving chairs to go up stairs. Comically lazy for an average person, but for someone who has trouble walking, elderly or otherwise, probably a godsend.
Yeah, welcome to being disabled. You have to act like you are insanely drunk and normal in order to get any products not for infants to be marketed to you.
I remember seeing an ad for lotion or something where it had a young woman licking a lollipop and the slogan for it said "Innocence is sexy." it was very uncomfortable to look at
I find it funny that the mask that woman advertised because it has "Blue light" actually ages you faster because thats a side effect of being exposed to too much blue light.
I’d honestly be more scared of a 70 year old lady who looks like a 15 year old, than a 70 year old lady who looks like a 70 year old.
LMAO agreed
Even my great aunt who just recently passed at 95 barely had any wrinkles and she still looked like an old women
Because 70 year olds are supposed to look like 70 year olds.
Imagine someone would date a 70 year old that looks like 15... Society isn't ready for that can o' worms...
First it's 70 year olds that loolook 15, next its gonna be 1000 year olds that look like 8 year olds, dear god....
Omg yes-
As a kid, I remember meeting my great aunt, and thinking "I've never seen someone so wrinkly!" After a few minutes, she laughed at something and all her winkles moved into a smile, and I realised all her wrinkles were from laughing so much through her life, and since being that little, I've always hoped that when I'm wrinkly, it's all from smiling and laughing
that's so cute omg
whattt thats so cute
aww, that's adorable!
Stop that's actually the cutest thing I've heard and I hope the same
That's.. actually so sweet 🥺
What's better than seeing an old woman look younger? Seeing an old woman that looks her age and seeing in her joy how young she is in her heart and soul
AND THE AWARD FOR MOST WHOLESOME SENTENCE I HAVE EVER HEARD GOES TO: "Kissing my cat on his tiny little forehead."
The fact that the first TikTok said "you laugh too much" as if that's a bad thing is horrifying. We're not even allowed to be happy anymore because it makes us look "old". Straight up dystopian.
that’s my biggest issue, like i don’t want to sacrifice joy and laughter so i can look younger
that, and people who let themselves express their joy will probably look way younger than they ever will be, in about 20 years
In my culture, it is quite the opposite actually, frowning and not being happy will actually make your wrinkles worse than smiling or at least that's the superstition in my culture.
If laughing adds wrinkles to my face then those are the most beautiful wrinkles I can have. I hope my most inset wrinkles are laugh and smile lines instead of brow furrows
@@harubynspadesthat’s also problematic but for different reasons
i hate how aging is a bad thing. why do you want to look like a seven year old child for the rest of your life? let yourself be old. we'll all be bones one day
"Why do you wantg to look like a seven year old child" because ageism (older women are treated like crap...... well, women in general are treated like crap, but daring to be visibly old and not give men b0ners, as is your ~only purpose in life as a woman~, just makes it worse), and men (sexism).
I mean men think 25 year olds are expired. Like???
I want to be a vampiress, not for the men, but for myself.
@@roxassora2706
honestly slay, be a vampire, curse the men
@@gaspshichat Yep
Eww degenerative flesh such a terible design choice
The funny thing about all of this is, that if you spend all this time and energy learning to love yourself instead of trying to stop time, ageing is a totally different experience. I am 50 years old, I do look young for my age, but it has more to do with how I feel on the inside then anything I have done externally. There was something for me about turning 50 that was like a huge exhale...like something inside of me finally felt like I could relax. I love myself more now than I ever have and I feel great.
F### that, I cast ZA WARUDO!
15:20
So what these men are saying is… I’m allowed to decapitate and or eat them without consequence? :3 (mantis and spiders)
I mean, they asked for it
But what were they wearing? The men shouldn’t have been walking around like that, heads out like a slut. They were asking for it! (jk)
The scary thing is these women all think 30s and 40s is old and wrinkled and it's not. It is just not reality. The fact that the beauty industry has convinced so many women the only way to be loved and adored in life is to spend thousands of dollars on scam products and the fact that other women so willingly use them to make claims they work knowing it's a lie really is awful.
There's a song from (I think) the 1930s
"Keep young and beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved"
Now I'm an 80s baby, and even in the 90s that was being used in adverts. It's saying you're unworthy of love, and worse, that you've failed in a duty, if you age at all. That's really twisted.
There's things like Botox that you get every so often but that's probably way less expensive and less scammy than buying all this consumerist crap,
@@screamingbanshee1282Also Botox can be used for medical issues as well such as migraine, so Botox I have no issue against
@@screamingbanshee1282It’s still part of the same phenomenon though. It’s ridiculous to expect women to sacrifice the ability to show basic human emotions through their face for decades just so that they can hold back the tide for a few more years.
exactly. my mom is in her late 40s, and i only call her old when i'm joking around and teasing her (all in good fun), i don't actually think she's old. she's not wrinkled at all or anything, neither is my dad, they don't look the youngest but they DEFINITELY don't look geriatric by any means. they just look middle aged at the most, they look their age, maybe a little younger. and even if they did look older it wouldn't be a problem. i hate that looking old is considered such a bad thing because it really isn't, it just shows that you've lived.
I wish people would realize aging is such a privilege and a beautiful thing :(
Like wrinkles just show you actually lived, you showed emotions, laughed/cried..
I don't get the idea of looking old equals ugly. Tons of old people are attractive.
i love aging
True
getting wrinkly and having back pain doesn’t sound like fun
@@justasentientmclarenp1879like UR MOMMM. HAHHAHH
My mom always says that she used to be afraid to get wrinkles until she met someone who had terminal cancer. That lady was a mother and she knew she would never see the age of 40 and never get to grow old. She had to write her kids letters for them to read at important milestones because she wasn’t going to be there. So after that, my mom was grateful to be able to get wrinkles because the alternative was worse.
“you smile too much‼️‼️‼️ you’re gonna get wrinkles and be ugly‼️‼️😡😡😡😡”
i literally want wrinkles when im older. i want to look like your adorable gay granny. it’s better than looking like a human-sized Barbie doll.
edit: did Funky just advertise a rose toy at one point?
THANK YOU! I was waiting for someone to mention the sponsor, like go off I guess ✨
LMAOOO the edit. I came to the comments wondering if anyone was as stunned as I was. It was fine and dandy until I was skipping throughout the video and saw a literal rose toy
those straws aren't even for anti aging!
They're accessibility devices for certain types of facial paralysis!
Wow! Then they're an awesome invention!
@@kaywee4200yeah but, those anti aging people are pretty much liars then
Ahh, just like with body acceptance something for the crippled gets co-opted by the stupid.
I thought it was for the elders to drink easier
@@ShadowPhoenixzz it's probably for both paralysis and old people, it would make sense
Time to pack out one of my all time favorite tumblr quotes: "Beauty companies will tell you aging is a curse when in fact it is a blessing not given to most."
❤❤❤
This is deep 😔
This hits so close to home. My mother used a lot of anti-aging products over the years. Turns out she didn't need to do that, she wouldn't be able to grow old in the end. She suddenly died at the age of 47.
i genuinely can’t tell if these replies are satire or not
@@peachy1835 Nahh
Honestly the most troubling thing to me of all this is the way that signs of aging are almost seen as a *moral* failure. It’s being preached how you *should* do all these things, that habits that create them are *bad* , that you should have been more careful or thoughtful if you do have wrinkles or signs of aging. It’s being preached as if not caring about signs of aging or prioritizing living a normal life is a sign of laziness or wastefulness
i fear if there was no laws in place for age of consent the age of consent for male to female attraction might drop to age 10 as terrifying as that is
My sister passed away at 30 from cancer and she said something that completely changed how I look at aging. She said not everyone gets the privilege to age!
Your sister is a wise woman, may she rest in peace 🕊️🙏🏻
She is right. My mother had a sister who died after a liver transplant at the age of 9. It’s depressing how people take life and being able to experience it’s beautiful moments for granted.
Those are great words, im sorry for your loss
That’s a really lovely way to think about it. Your sister sounds like a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing this with us, and I’m sorry for your loss 🖤
Rip to that lady.
im going to start pro-aging . gonna look 50 in my 20s just to spite these people
😂
[Insert joke about a WW2 anti-war film taking place in Belarus]
I guess I have a head start bc I am 14 and has forehead wrinkles which is very normal. I don’t know why they’re scared of it.
I'm gonna dedicate myself to being full of joy and grinning more to give myself so many smile lines
@@Shockbucklincome and see?
I gotta give my grandparents and mom credit for not letting the anti-aging stuff get to me as a child. Ive never cared abt the way my face looks aside from skin being dry af and bad acne.
I dont get how people can be so genuinely terrified of a natural process that every human goes theough, and i hope theyre able to overcome that fear.
Shoutout to that one scene in the Barbie movie when Barbies crying and looks over at the most wrinkly old woman you've ever seen. Barbie, the epitome of the perfect beauty standard, tells her "You're so beautiful" and the woman simply replies "I know it" 💕
The really creepy thing about men wanting to date woman who could be their daughters is not only the age gap, but also the power imbalance of those relationships.
Edit:wtf is going on in the comments underneath...are you guys okay?
You need a hug or smth 😐
also like what do you talk about. some of these age gaps it’s like
“i LOVE euphoria!!”
“NOO I WANNA WATCH *I LOVE LUCY* GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!”
and scene
That's unfortunately the point. It's not their actual attraction that makes them think young women are preferable. It's that younger people are seen as more naive and easy to control and influence
i understand wanting a younger wife or gf for them but there comes a limit to it ,compatability and reason when dating someone younger, like bro she has absurdly different life experiences and you will not match for anything. If she can be your daughter there is a broblem
rlly da power imbalance is da only reason some age gap relationships can b wrong, any form of "[insert thing] in other ppl's relationships makes me uncomfortable" is not a valid reason 4 hate.
like da reason bestiality is wrong isnt "its icky", its dat a human usually has a lot of power over an animal, & the lack of communication, & probably some other points i forgot dat r based on facts not disgust.
@@x-foliage-xyah like 👁️ understand u so much like da power imbalance is rlly da only reason 2 be h8ting u feel me like so many ppl h8 da age gap but like be 4real like do yah feel me like i hope u understand da thing 👁️ typed brah
I'm surprised how many times "not drinking when thirsty" comes up; dehydration is terrible for your body AND skin, it would definitely make you age faster
I fainted once at the zoo because I didn’t drink enough
@@edenanimates1465 Yeah dehydration is no joke. A good rule of thumb for the amount of water you **need** to drink daily while sedentary (but you should always aim for more, exercise and heat can double that requirement) is 1ml for every 1 cal you need to maintain your weight. The rest, assuming you eat a relatively normal diet, should be able to come from your food.
For example:
To maintain my current weight, I eat about 1500 calories a day, so that's 1.5 liters of water **required** to stay reasonably healthy. What I should aim for is about 2 liters, 2.5L-3L if I'm exercising a lot
Looking and feeling like the crypt keeper or a dry mummy is all the rage
@@hambone4984 Hell yeah, you can lose up to 65% of your body weight!
Maybe it stems from some people just not drinking water and instead some things that are bad for your health? The amount of Tiktoks I see about people not wanting to drink water cause they don’t like it and thus not doing it is scary.
To be fair American water (even bottled or filtered) tastes like crap compared to the water in my hometown but I was lucky enough to grow up in an area with great tab water (and German bottled water is somehow a lot better than American bottled water I really wonder what stuff they put i their water)
In all honesty, aging is beautiful, it shows how long you’ve been on this earth, how much you’ve seen, and how many people could know you. Don’t get rid of it
I’ve been noticing the same trend on YT and it pisses me off! I heard someone say on this platform, “Aging is a privilege.” It really is!!! I’m proud of my wrinkles and have ZERO desire to “reduce” or “prevent” them, because I have EARNED them and am proud of them!
i used to worry about aging and would vocalise it, but older gays who remember the AIDs pandemic would be like "stfu being gay and old is a gift we didn't think we'd ever get" and it humbled me really quick
oh shit.... wow I keep forgetting that was a thing, but that's a real kick in the teeth to think about....
yeah, as a trans person i will be grateful for my first wrinkle. as getting to that age seems out of reach on so many days
This is so true. Seeing older queer people with wrinkles or grey hair makes me so happy. Like, yes, we’re getting old now.
I hate that they made the aids epidemic the fault of gays. I remember being young and getting a glimpse of my mother watching an AIDS documentary and seeing a gay nightclub visual. So although it affected the gay community differently I hate that they have made it a “gay disease” as I’ve heard. But yes it makes me so happy to see that those in the community have been able to live their lives, marry those they love, and become accepted in our society. As it always should have been! I just appreciate being born in a time where we were taught to use common sense.
that's a wonderful thought, elder gays are so revered and so special
I desperately want to be that elder gay, who kids can go to for a safe space
The girl who “taught herself how to not use her muscles” got married a few months back and had to make a video addressing comments under her wedding video calling her husband ugly and yes that’s awful but that is the audience she built- of course when you make videos obsessing over vanity and judging other people for their looks and not being as dedicated to a ridiculous skincare routine you’re going to attract a crowd with that same mentality…
Tbf she seems to have some unprocessed trauma regarding her dad. I remember watching a video where she mentioned he would call her ugly and watch her videos to criticize her later.
She probably doesn't realize how this obsession with being attractive forever is an extension of her dad's psychological abuse and very damaging for her mental health.
@@lizzy4827okay, every tik tok influencers, LINE UP! Y'ALL GOING TO THERAPY!
@@lizzy4827of course she has some sort of traumas/mental illness if she reached that level of not wanting to age. She should get a good therapy to address it, instead of doing that 😢
Maybe that’ll be her wake up call? love and happiness are more important ❤
@@lizzy4827 yet another reason to feel bad for her. She needs a lot of therapy, I think.
These are people that have nothing else in thier lives but their looks. It's sad and they are inspiring young people because tiktok.
What makes it worse is that a woman did this a couple years ago and went on Dr. Phil or something. She said she looked like 10 years younger but you could easily guess her age based on appearance, it's just clear doing this will be for nothing
This reminds me of The Hunger Games. Katniss was confused by all the old people who got work done to look younger and whatever. Because where she's from getting old is such a rare thing it's celebrated. You're looked up too for all your wisdom.
As a Hunger Games fan, I absolutely love this and agree-all these anti-aging videos really give me Capitol citizen vibes
I was thinking of this when I was watching this video. And that was something I kept in mind for a while
omg i remembered this in the book too! she also mentioned how they (the capitol civillians) would vomit out the food they binge ate just because of the fear of being fat when back at home, being fat was a luxury because it meant you had enough to eat and never known the agony of starvation.
@@syzn2584 The vomiting thing was actually so the Capitol citizens could keep binge eating all the excessive amounts of food available to them being in the luxury that is the Capitol
@@oncerand_directioner it was probably both, honestly, since upsetting amounts of gluttony, FOMO, and vanity were very much part of the Capital's culture
As a woman who does look young for her age (genuinely not a brag and you'll see why), I cannot describe the levels of skeeve I feel when a 30-40 something year old man hits on me and expects me to be in my teens. When I ultimately tell them my actual age (26) they look at all surprised and disappointed. I've even had one guy say "Well, you're older than most girls I talk to" right to my face. Did you actually want me to be a borderline child?? What the actual hell! 🤬
I look younger for my age, and my beef with it at times is when people think they can talk to me like I'm a child. Older folks talk down to me just like they did when I WAS 22 and it absolutely infuriates me.
One thing that even happened recently is I was giving advice to someone at my place of work about skincare, and she called me cute and pat me on the head. But I bet she wouldn't do that to someone who she looked at and thought, "that's clearly a 30 year old woman" but bc she thought it seemed "cute" to disrespect someone she assumed was younger, I got treated like a lap dog 🙄
Same! That's why I'm excited to look older when that time comes
I'm 29 and people have told me that they think I'm somewhere between 19 - 26. Especially when I have my makeup done and I'm dressed in my normal gothic witchy style. But I've also had men be disappointed when they realize my age and when I was younger (like actually 15 - 18) adult men would hit on me because I looked older. It was always gross and even now, it's super icky. I've even been talked down to because of someone thinking I was a teenager.
Yeah I always get the shocked look when they find out I’m 32 and expect me to be 21-23… it’s gross lol
My friend that’s like 13 a adult man offered her a drink in she was like uhm sir I’m 13 I can’t legally drink alcohol
Ya know how in societal perception a young person is kinda bursting with energy and liveliness which are adding to their youthful look? Some of those ladies look so so dead inside and miserable despite the fact they tryna save their “youth” ☹️
Imagine laughing and smiling and then thinking oh shit im gonna wrinkle. It's such a bizarre thing to think, especially for me because i laugh and smile so rarely and cherish every second i do. It's so dystopian.
Also i agree, everyone should flirt like birds.
I was suicidal for most of my life, the fact that ill get to see myself age is so comforting to me and im so happy ill get to experience it. Ill never understand the people that are terrified of aging.
Same here. I'm coming close to my 30th birthday in a few weeks and I'm so excited I made it this far
Same! I just turned 33 and I didn't expect to even make it to 20. I've seen myself getting older and I see the signs of aging as such a blessing because I actually made it this far and am still going.
As much as I don't understand trying to defy your own genetics (aka how fast you'll "age" physically), I personally am trying not to look older, as it's the people who always try to treat me as an "adult" despite being a naive minor all because i look and act "old for my age" is the reason why I even wanted to d!e in the first place. Seeing myself age and be reminded of those people make me deeply uncomfortable for some reason. Then again who knows, it's different for everyone.
Same. There was a time in my life where I genuinely thought I wouldn't even get to be 30 years old.
I was struggling with depression made worse by BPD and when someone asked me how I don't have smile lines I died inside
The lady who "learned not to emote" scares me so much - not only the concept instead, but also the look on her face is terryfying. Like uncanny valley
she looks like shes wearing someone elses face😭
she denies this, but there’s a lot of people who say she’s gotten botox, which would explain the uncanniness. ig you can do what you want, but the idea of someone in their early 20s getting botox is absolutely insane to me lol
The 14 year old was horrifying as well. I’m 13 and I have smile lines and forehead wrinkles and I love them. I can’t imagine going to a fellow eighth graders house and seeing this.
@@HunterMcDonald2010Yo I have frown lines and I’m 15, not self conscious of them tho
@@boomerangswingsbothways any sort of wrinkles makes you look wise, and friendlier.
I am a weirdo who holds their phone at near eye level, but I do it to avoid neck strain. Something that actually helps me out because neck pain sucks
Coming back to this after the uprising of Sephora kids really hurts.
The girl who had to sit & talk in from of a mirror to train herself to NOT make human expressions cracked me up because as an autistic kid I did THE OPPOSITE I would try to look human make faces exactly how the rest of the kids did like 😂😂😂 WHAT ARE WE DOING
I basically just did another opposite, making the least human faces I could
This is oddly relatable
yerp
Omg autistic core memory unlocked. I forgot I did that, yeah I’d pretend I was talking to people and practicing a laugh or smile or to look genuine, OR ESPECIALLY try to “not look so mean/ bitchy”. A lot of my mannerisms were seen as anti social, that’s how I learned to mask
Not on the spectrum, but as someone with Tourette's syndrome, the voluntary-facial-paralysis advice is absolutely fucking hilarious to me 😆😆😆
What. Do. People. Want!? Young girls are praised and told to look older and more mature, and yet also hounded for showing any signs of age by 30. This hurts my brain!
societal norms: make no sense
guys: can't cry
girls: can't age
hotel: trivago
Ah yes, the wonderful double standards of misogyny! :D
The cruelty is the point, unfortunately
Men want kids. Especially girls. This is the problem. All this "looking mature young girls" and not allowing women to age is p@edophilia. And yes beauty standards are p@edophilic, so the most men are
They want young girls older to sexualize them. They want women younger to infantalize them. It's about control.
3:12 did anyone else notice the blink at the saying 'its my plessure'???
i will never understand why everyone always says "men want younger women on a biological level because more fertile" cause like, have you seen older women, they are always way hotter
The fact the people think that looking old is disgusting, is SO creepy, why do you want us to look like a child? A women aging is seen as ‘gross’ nowadays, and as they’ve already said, most anti-aging products are marketed towards women so they look younger and more youthful. Which, I don’t know if I’m exaggerating or overreacting with this, but if know someone who wants a woman who looks like a teenager, I can guarantee you that they 100% agree with that survey that said ‘Men of all different ages seem to want a woman in her 20’s’
Well a certain group of people do want that
i get wanting a partner thats in their 20s or 30s but when people want someone younger? its disgusting!! and theres such a huge market for school girls and teen girls who are barely an adult in pornos. i absoutely despise people like that
@@juliaboskamp9666 you shouldn't be wanting to have sex with children
totally, I read this as another symptom of implicit pedophilia. Same with no body hair, being extremly skinny, big, wide eyes, high voice, and so on.
Like that old meme that won't die says: Pedos. Pedos everywhere.
i'm saying this in the nicest way possible, the girl who trained herself to not use her facial muscles gives me uncanny valley. expressing emotions is human, and the fact that doing that gets shamed in this community is so terrifying to me. Are we supposed to be robots or something?
She's pretty clearly botoxed up and lying through her teeth about it (while causing irreparable damage to many young people who think they should follow her advice). She even has to use her fingers to move her muscles.
thats what i thought too, like- your eyes are wide and so is your mouth but why is your face not moving??
Only woman must be very emotional and sensitive BUT no have any signs of those emotions or of time 😮
But... If you are a man you became a silver fox... 😂
As someone with extreme ocd who’s gotten much more help from it since being diagnosed, this girl seems to have extreme ocd with that. It’s her biggest hyper fixation on worries. It manifests from her fears, making her look more creepy than young or youthful. It’s really sad
She will look só cute in the club though.
The club I mean is the one that she will never get into, because the bouncer will never believe that she is old enough to be there.
Ive seen someone make a great point that aging is a privilege. Some people will never get to see their face covered in wrinkles or skin sag because they passed young. Ill be glad to reach an age where Ive lived long enough that my face tells it
‘I would get home from school and sit in front of the mirror for hours practicing not using the muscles in my face’. when she got home from SCHOOL? how old was she when she developed this fixation on aging? awful that she’s felt so afraid for so long. time will march on.
As a skincare nut, I totally get wanting to put your best face forward! But, this cultural fear of aging is a toxic mindset which turns a natural processor maturing into something which you should dread. In addition to ageism, there are also many issues with classism present in these videos
I enjoy basic skincare and avoid going outside when the UV levels are above 2 because I got a lot of sun exposure as a child with abusive, neglectful parents. Aging used to terrify me but not anymore.
I like skincare but only because I want to manage my acne and pores, idgaf about aging
The fact that you're the first person besides myself, I've seen you use the word ageism in a public space... Shows how bad it is. I hate it. It really makes me so angry.
Yeah it's totally fine to want to take care of your skin. I'm all for hygiene and caring for yourself. But freaking out at the thought of a single wrinkle is very unhealthy and I feel bad that society pushes the notion that women aren't allowed to age at all
@@pissapocalypseI don't think it's just because of aging looks-wise I mean, that some people get nervous about wrinkles. I'm 27, so I've started to get my first few gray hairs, and I've started to get crow's-feet. It just freaked me out, because it really reminded me of my mortality. How there's really nothing I can do. Lol
When I was a teen there was one time I was waiting for my mom in the waiting room of a medspa and one of the employees asked me if I was waiting for an appointment and I was like "Oh no, I'm only 16" and they said "Well, it's never too young to start!" Very cool to try to make a *teenager* self conscious about aging for your own personal profit!
Wtf
As a young teenager, I would have beaten the hell out of this person. Like genuinely, ppl who try to make ppl feel insecure abt themselves are literally the FUCKING WORST‼️‼️
ESPECIALLY at a very young age
Oh I wanna FIGHT that person
Super predatory of her, but okay.... Uh....
My first wrinkles are coming in and they're laugh lines and honestly I couldn't be happier. I've said why elsewhere but I wanna share it here too.
I've had it rough, from foster care to abuse to poverty to chronic health problems like degenerative disc disease and then some. Things make life miserable and quality of life make me question if it's worth... and yet the wrinkles on my face have shown me that despite everything, I have found enough reasons to smile and laugh for it to alter how my face is aging and that is not only awesome and uplifting, but something I never thought I'd live to see. Thongs are still rough and there are a lot of things that will only be downhill, but if I am able to find happiness, then maybe it isn't all bad.
And besides, what better flex to have on your haters and enemies than to have something that says "I have achieved so much positivity that it has permanently altered the way my face looks"? It's a subtle and yet powerful flex I'd say!
I was not expecting that sponsorship and the "trust me" was definitely a moment for a double take
Someone on tumblr said it best, Aging isn't anywhere near as terrifying as the lengths people go to to avoid it.
YASSS
aging is a blessing and better than the alternative (dying lmao) imo!
Okay but the girl who said she trained herself not to use her facial muscles.. she’s trying to hide the fact that her face is paralysed from copious amounts of botox.
And the blue & red light mask claims, pretending that those dumb masks are not like the tanning beds that eventually damage the skin and increase risk of cancer...all for sponsors and clicks
I thought so too! she looks horrific, and I feel sorry for her, but it's her own fault for putting needles in her face. She should just admit that that's what she did. you're right, she's a liar. and a creep for spreading her "message"
@@disasterbi8610 I used to think only non-human or dead things could be in the uncanny valley, turns out living people can be too...
Yea... she looks like what I'd imagine Sephora employees would look like in 2180. A dystopian nightmare.
I agree with the Botox theory, as a person who is interested in poison and its history, Botox is relativity not harmful in small amounts, but you can get poisoned from it. It makes your face frozen and if you get too many injections of it, slowly it may start to kill you. Beware of Botox and stay safe!
5:05 ironically i remember my family reminding me not to look down at my phone so often not because of "le anti-aging" but because its just posture related concerns, especially with my family having a lengthy history of back related issues(arthritis, scoliosis n the like)and me already having the artistic habit of hunching over when i draw. if you detract the anti-aging bs from what this lady says, it can be good for your posture to not look down at your phone so often and having it closer to your face.

One time, I saw a 14 year old girl use anti-aging serum and it was honestly sad to see that a young girl to use those serums when she doesn’t need them.
I cannot imagine it is good for young skin to use products for older skin? Also most of that doesn't work if it's OTC, actual wrinkle prevention comes from Retin-A and it's RX only because it's extremely drying and you aren't supposed to have sun exposure for 24hrs after using bcuz it can burn the skin
I’m 15 years old, and I like to steal my moms anti aging cream, one because I have really bad deep eye bags, and cause it has sunscreen In it and it doesn’t feel like regular sunscreen.
@@meganmerrells2942i’m fairly sure your eyebags arent “bad”, please dont describe any if your features as bad :( and aging cream wont help eith those! id try being more hydrated and getting a but of extra sleep…
@babydyke I mean, if the ingredient list is good, then that kind of skincare is still good, even for young skin. It's just that it does nothing anti-aging because there's nothing to anti-age. Plus, yeah, it's definitely sad to see a child thinking they already need to do sth about their future probable wrinkles and fine lines. But if she used the serum just cuz she researched ingredients online, found them to be medically proven and thought it'd be a good one to use, there's no problem (was the case for an18 yo me baaack in high school, I have dry skin and so I was looking for certain ingredients I knew my skin liked in one package, only found them in an "anti aging" cream, which was just a nice hydrating moisturizer). Also, retinol, as u said, is one of the very best, but it's more than 24 hours, it's several days (5?7?) during which u should limit sun exposure and wear a strong enough sunscreen - it makes your skin a bit more sensitive to the sun but sun protection is imperative for skin cancer prevention anyways, so for many it doesn’t change much. I believe it's a good thing to take care of your skin at any age, it simply shouldn't be done out of fear but out of love. And definitely not by stripping yourself of expressing emotion or buying stupid-looking straws😂😂😂😂
Me and my 12 yr old bff doing this stuff cus why not:fuck it "dalia we gotta stop this shit" (her name isn't rlly dalia)
My brother ended his life at 16, and never got the chance to wrinkle. Having wrinkles is a privilege and I am grateful for every little wrinkle I have, even at 24. Every wrinkle I get is one my brother never will.
I'm sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
I used to fear aging because I couldn't imagine myself being beautiful if I wasn't young and I thought that was all I had going for me. I work in customer service now, and I see so many beautiful people twice my age, even 3x my age. And I realized I have a lot more going for me than looks.
I was 11 the first time someone told me I should be careful when I smile because I would get wrinkles. This obsession with aging is so toxic especially when it is being pushed onto children and teenagers.
My ten year old sister has anti aging cream and all kind of skincare bc she thinks she’s going to get wrinkles.. it’s really sad. When I was ten I still thought unicorns were real….

@@Cabin7_official have you ever told her she doesn't need skin care until she's older
@@eye_parasite yes I have. But I’m not her mom so i really can’t do anything about it 🫠
My parents actually called me out a little on my mouth wrinkles.
I literally talked about this today, someone on my facebook celebrated their 30th birthday and said "30 but still look 13". You don't, but why are you so desperate to look like a child??? She looked GREAT, shes beautiful! Then it hit me to a convo I had a few months ago, I was hit on more at the ages of 11-17 than I was an a full grown, adult woman. Yucky.
I think you’re hit on more at those ages not bc of beauty, but bc scumbags like to pick on the naive and weak. There are plenty of stunning older people but losers can’t mess w em.
Yep, seems like women after 30 just stop being "desirable" by "alpha males". Fine by me 😂
11-17 hit on more by boys around your age makes sense as they are the biggest horndogs in that age range but by men older than you? Man that's just disgusting to hear... Really does sound like beauty standard lately have been more and more rooted in ped*philia, with the obsession of being as young as possible, saying you look 15 at 30
@@awatcher4965 Absolutely. When I had a smaller chest, was thinner, and younger, I was hit on more by adult men. I was in middle school, high school, and very early college when men the age of my father would roll down their windows and literally bark at me or whistle. I'm only 24 now but I barely get cat called anymore because I look more mature- even when wearing graphic t-shirts or youthful clothing. I never ever get cat called when wearing work or mature clothes. It's because I look like an adult. Creeps don't like that.
I am 14, and I get hit on. What? It makes me so uncomfortable.
11:13 as a minor, very close in age to this one, WHAT THE HELL?! I only do some acne treatment from the dollar store if I have a pimple or something right before a dance recital?! what is going on in this poor kids life.. (thank you for blurring her face)
15:31 this is a true story here..
one time I told my friend that my dad was 1 year…ONE YEAR younger than my mom and they said it was illegal. but when I told them that my 50 year old uncle is dating a 32 year old,”wow! good luck to them!”(this is just my own experience and shouldn’t be taken in any way serious)
i was not ready for that sponser 😂
What happened to just wearing sunscreen every day, using moisturizer, and eye cream? If I have to spend more than 10 minutes doing skin care-and that includes removing makeup and washing my face-I’m immediately not interested.
I totally agree. I mean I cleanse and apply moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning, then cleanse and apply retinol and moisturiser in the evening. It takes all of 5 minutes and I think that's plenty. If I layered a hundred and one products, I'd get so bored.
Wearing sunscreen in of itself is so important to prevent skin cancer, which I'd say is a lot scarier then a couple wrinkles 😭
I mostly just exfoliate and wash with my Shea Butter Dove bar soap, and use unscented lotion on my face, those three things do good to my facial skin, I do keep forgetting to get eye cream though 😂
I agree, I put sunscreen on, and wash my face but other then that I don’t really do anything. Yes I’m in high school and yes I have smoke lines but that’s not a bad thing.
Not to mention, depending, on your genetics, it might not matter at all. Some people will just age faster than others. Like I'm 30 and my baby face keeps me looking like I'm 18.
The thing I hate most is when anyone brings up the whole " biology" and " We are just wired that way" and just continuing to compare people and human relationships to any animal that fits their description at that time. That's great how the species of birds do it, but get back to me when a woman rejects you because the clothes you're wearing aren't bright and vibrant enough to let her know that you would be a great mate.
i have never dated a man that can't dance. are you even a real man if you can't do 10 backflips in a row then the moonwalk?
Also aren’t women the most fertile in the their mid twenties to thirties, so why would the goal be to look 16 instead if it was about biology
But when it comes to actual science they all find excuses to not trust it🤭🤭
People are conditioned to compare themselves its not "biology" or "human nature". It's leanred
i have rejected many men for having dull black clothes
as a young teen i love my face and body for what it is because wrinkles, scars, acne and beauty marks are gorgeous and natural! by the way i love your videos!:3
Honestly like all of these anti-aging people would be absolutely destroyed the moment they talk to young children cause they act like they're in court they will say the truth and nothing but the truth and be extremely blunt, like they will just casually point out your buggest insecurity and then ask to go to the park lol
I always remember when my dads friend told me women shouldn't exist if they're single past the age of 24 and if you were "that old" as a single woman you might as well jump off the top of the highest building you can find. He told me I was young and perfect and he wishes his wife had some of my youth so he'd actually be attracted to her. I was 12 at the time and he was a creep. I heard a few years back that his wife divorced him and got everything, honestly good for her.
Ewww he is so gross!!!
Bro did you dad ditch that friend??? That’s terrifying
@@hanaxbabyy nope he just warned me to leave the room if I ever found myself alone with the guy and not to accept lifts from him etc he said that comment in front of my Mam, so I could only imagine what he would have said if we were ever alone together

As an Australian in her 30s, there's only one piece of skincare advice that I follow and people should really listen to:
WEAR SUNSCREEN.
I still see so many young women not wearing any at all, and you seriously need to start that shit as early as possible.
Consider this: I cannot even wear lotion due to how it feels _in_ my skin (even when I use a small amount and rub it in fully)
I'll try to see if I can get my hands on spray on sunscreen, since the bug repellent I use doesn't affect me too badly, but it's not guaranteed that I'll be able to tolerate it. Until then, I only have access to the "normal" kind of sunscreen lol
Yeah but not because of anti aging but because of how exposed we are to sun damage
Dude I got a bad sunburn at the beginning of this year and now I am religiously applying sunscreen every time I go outside
@@bonnietelocole6777I’ve seen spray lotion, body butter, and fast absorbing oil lotion be recommended for people who have sensory issues with lotion! I’ve personally tried fast absorbing oil lotion and it felt way better than regular lotion
I am Australian and yeah definitely wear sunscreen

I'm a biology major and dudebros claiming "It's just biology that causes me to creep on young women" is such bullshit. There is way more to sexuality and mate selection than perceived fertility. In fact, male baboons have been observed rejecting younger female baboons for being "low status" by baboon standards, which varies by troop. I'd recommend to anyone interested to read "A Primates Memoir" by Robert Sapolsky, great book with some excellent perspectives from a dork ass biologist in the field :-)
Yeah don’t ever mention bonobos to those guys either, lol.
And don’t forget human guys who are into MILFs
When I was in my early 20s, I used to give a little credence to these dudebros' assertions. I would still think the behavior was creepy and something to be resisted, but mostly natural. Now that I'm 30, I realize that I do NOT find people in their early 20s all that attractive. I like the look of people my own age, because I associate it with equal mental maturity and experience. I see people who are 21 and think of them more as a younger person. An adult with residual teen brain. I just don't feel attraction to them. I realize how full of shit the 30-something men who go for young women are.
This whole argument is strange from both sides to me. We don't need data from bonobos, or birds, or any other animal. We have plenty of data to show us that Male Homosapiens have ( on average) always preferred younger women. That doesn't make it ethical or ok, but I don't understand why people are trying to argue that there isn't a biological imperative. Why can't we accept the reality that it is biologically driven and then work forward from that? Humans have overcome their own biological pitfalls time and time again. But we'll never overcome it if we pretend it doesn't exist.
Were those baboons observed in captivity or in the wild?
it's gross how much emphasis we put on youth, I remember panicking when I turned 20 because I wouldn't be "attractive" or "young" anymore, which is insane and I only thought this way because the internet tricked me into thinking 20 was OLD.
omg? 20 is insanely young wtf. i’m turning 20 next year and while it’s almost incomprehensible to me, that’s so fucking young.

my mom was adorable with aging : she stopped dyeing her hair when she found a white hair and she keeps saying how she loves these hair because they look like silver thread. idk i just find that very endearing
Beautiful and aspirational.
I'm too lazy to dye my hair
My mom decided to dye her hair around the same time she started getting a lot of grays. She didn’t dye the gray hairs. She dyed the underside of her hair blue.
my mom had super beautiful white hair that glittered like snow🥰 Now that I am 30, I have started noticing the same glittering white hairs on my head and I don't dye my hair because it reminds me of her. 😊❤
I once got in an argument with my mom over her grey hair. She hated them and I had to take weeks to get the same color. I love grey hair. Especially the silvery grey! Her hair was almost white silver. So gorgeous. AND SHE DYED IT FACKING BROWN!!
Eventually she loved her hair in the end. “Each strand a memory, every shade a learned lesson to pass on. “
I miss her everyday. I’m glad she’s at rest now though. ❤
As an "old lady" (in my 40s), let me tell you - I have earned every single laugh line, and I wouldn't trade the good times in my life for a flawless face. My memories are of me enjoying time with friends, kids, and family, not concentrating on not wrinkling my eyebrows. If you're young, enjoy the time, enjoy the laughs, enjoy the cries. Be there, and don't worry what it MIGHT do to your face in 20 years.
Lol that is my biggest face insecurity and this helps.
in my opinion a flawless face is one with wrinkles so I'd say you're winning
A pretty face is one that is laughing, smiling, and enjoying life to the best of their ability imo.
We're screwed if we think 40 is old. The average human lives around 80 years. Are we just supposed to walk around half of our lives calling ourselves old?
Fully agree. I'm 41 and I'm not ancient. Weird!
IDK how I ended up here, but I've just binged your commentary videos and I am in love. Please continue these shenanigans.
This reminds me if that video of a woman who remodels plastic dolls to make them realistic. One of her method is to spray some color to the face for some blemishes to make them look natural. This gives me the realization that a natural skin is not shiny and is not a strictly even all throughout the body.
I had silver hair once when it was ✨trendy✨ and worked as a cashier at the time. So many older ladies complimented my hair and said it made them feel better about theirs. They couldn’t believe someone young wanted silver hair like theirs it made me happy for them to see that their hair was still beautiful 😄

Not so much about preventing wrinkles, but when we had picture day at school, they edited most of our wrinkles (from smiling) out of the pictures. When I saw the pictures of myself, I was like, "That ain't me, that's a badly made doll." What the fuck, we were barely even teenagers...
Aging isn’t bad. It’s not like the grim reaper passes over you more if you look like a 30 year old when you’re 90.
It really upsets me when i see a teenager on tiktok complain about their "wrinkles" and "oh my god im getting crows feet!" This is not something girls and young women should be worrying about. It really makes me sad
It gets even more upsetting when you realize that a lot of the beauty standards that young girls and women are pressured or even forced to adhere to are rooted in p*dophilia. Young, no signs of aging, oftentimes skinny and short, hairless, somehow sexually experienced without ever having had sexual partners, the way distinctly childlike things like “daddy” as a nickname and schoolgirls’ outfits have been sexualized, “teen” and “barely legal” being acceptable and even popular porn categories.
And now young girls are being convinced that they aren’t young and youthful enough. It’s sick and deeply predatory.
it goes beyond anti wrinkles too, it ventures into the sexualization of young girls. wanting to look young and have no wrinkles, but at the same time sexualizing your body and making yourself look older with makeup for men and boys alike. I would recommend Shanspeare’s video named “12 going on 21: The end of the tween era” for a deeper dive into this topic.
@@nothanks13At 12, I was in my tween era, now I’m 16 and 12-year-olds are starting to look more adult than me
I'm really sad my fellow youngsters are so worried about aging, we should be focused on all the possibilities for the future! If you're terrified of aging then you won't experience everything to the fullest. I'd rather laugh and have fun with my friends than freak out over laughter causing smile lines. I refuse to sexualize myself, and I will wear whatever I feel comfortable in. Then again I'm sex averse so that part isn't surprising...
Especially with how certain things are just based on how are faces are naturally constructed, like where our eyes sit! It’s like right off the bat these kids are being taught the way you are is bad and it’s just so upsetting
I have a genetic syndrome that affects my heart, joints, and stomach, on average most people live to 40-50 with it. Unless I am lucky, I won’t age past 50. It is a privilege to age, it shows how long you’ve been here and everything you’ve done. Worrying about aging is silly since it’s something that will happen to all of us. It’s a beautiful thing to show how far you’ve come. (Also I’m not depressed about this I’ve known about it for awhile)
