how could this comment not gets a thousand likes???

@@ender5036 thanks bro, your comment is worth all of them.

Let me remind you of your genius about this comment, sir.

@@Moonlight-ju4qi thank you kind sir! I forgot about this video... Time to rewatch!

kulik03 that's because your brain concludes that your ugly...what you feel is what you see;)

Conrad Ambrossi Only like 20% true.

Same.

DISLIKE

Same. But the fact that you can admit that proves you’re really not as ugly as you seem

Its important to add "As a general rule" he failed to highlight this. Beauty is also something you develop and this only deals with first contact beauty.

Is there a study or survey anywhere that shows people are more attracted to mixed race faces?

@thomas anderson wrong 😂 in so many level

@thomas anderson we were molded to think that white people are the most beautiful ethnicity by social media

@@sheshomaru6799 He's right though. Stop lying to yourself.

What a luck, my teacher teach me Harun Yahya btw

@@mangyana4571 My teacher didn't teach.

Anyone who loves Carl Sagan has such an intriguing & marvelous perspective of beauty in the universe 💯

Thats Deep & For Real Today

Sad to say YES . . .

That wasn't supposed to be so

Your brain decided it's beautiful. 📝 Actually smooth voices are commonly seen as such.

Please

It isn’t for that that guy is a scientist and this is a scientific presentation on ted talk. If you want to sleep download a meditation app

Can u explain little simpler?

@@PiyushKumar-ie8pg please

can you explain in simple words

@@Ak-in5cu Sure. I think that a big problem with how most people think of the evolution, is that they believe that people like what they like because of survival. For example, people often phrase the evolution of sexual desire (especially for animals) in such a way where they say stuff like “they look for the most suitable mate, who is healthy and will produce many offspring.” I believe this is false. I believe that evolution causes animals and people are o have certain preferences, but that within the mind of people and animals, there is no consideration of survival, and that these preferences just exist as basic desires in the mind, which have no deeper reason for why they have them, other than that they simply have them. Here is another example. When a person is hungry, they simply want to eat food, just to stop the pain of hunger, and to feel the pleasure of eating. The reason these desires exist is because of evolution caused them to appear. Obviously food is necessary, so people evolved a strong preference to want to eat food. Despite this, people do not eat food because they desire to survive and prolong their existence. This is obvious when you consider that there are many people who eat enough food to become unhealthy and obese. Despite knowing it is unhealthy, and that it is not helping with survival, many obese people still want to eat food, simply because it feels good to do so, and it is painful not to do so. All of this demonstrates that, psychologically, people do not like what they like, and dislike what they dislike, for survival reasons, despite the fact that these preference exist because they help with evolutionary survival.

Yeah, I got what you mean.

I am looking for paintings and music now... and I found this. You hit my problem.

Same!!

We would probably see the beautiful people of the future as ugly, depending on how far into the future. In thousands of years we would probably see them as more beautiful, as they would look like the beautiful people of today but there would be a higher quantity of them. In a million years we would probably see them as alien or ape-like, the thought of mating with them may disgust us

Society, culture, inadvertently, tell us what beauty is. Here in the West, it is thin girls, in general, that are the attractive ones. In Africa, the beautiful ones are very fat.

Here in the Western part of the World, if you look at the old photos from the late 1800s early 1900s, it's clear to see our aesthetics have changed already. The social fabric and technology such as TV, social media magazines and anti-aging advances of our society has changed immensely since then. Therefore who we choose to reproduce with has become more about aesthetics rather than who is seen as a good rancher, farmer and provider or who will make a good homemaker with good childbearing hips (whatever that means). In my opinion, I feel in 200 years from now in the Western side of the world, if we are still able to advance, the majority of the population is going to evolve into a even more very petite, athletic, porcelain skinned faced woman and very tall masculine men. At the pace we are going, our great great grandkids will be looking at photos of us, commenting on how ugly and miserable we look.

Beauty is permanent designed by God your nose will always be best situated above your 2 lips

I got a 10 :') my teacher said it was a beautiful presentation, thanks for this.

Nice

Seriously? It's the same reason I'm here haha. 11th grade philosophy essay

@@Kilimser ohhh i could try to help u if u need more info

🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍

bj0rn A lot of women like guys with prominent brows or a scar or tattoo on one side of their face. Asymmetry is also very beautiful and a sign of more character or creativity in all types of design.

bj0rn symmetry is just a tool that nature created and uses...beauty is a truly subjective. A affect with an objective cause:)

I think that balance is beauty. Symmetry is something that helps create a balance but there can also be a balance of positve and negative qualities that create beauty

I like to draw, every video of drawing of a face will try the best to demonstrate symmetric eyes and ears.

@@oswellsubscriptions2456 sooo true. So it's just all about the balance. I agree.

Just the sight of ugliness and ugly people induces depression in the well suited.

Billy Crutchfield Pre-programmed by who? whom? Just remember all this scientific stuff keeps getting corrected all the time. They're constantly saying whoops we were wrong let me tell you what we know now.

Actually it isn't a program. That's not how the brain works. It's actually just neuro-chemical reactions that most humans experience. Namely oxytocin, which is strongly associated with warm interpersonal relationships. It also has the effect of making us more likely to have warmth and compassion for those who are like us. Meaning, in turn, creating an "us/them" mentality, which I believe is one reason why there is so much conflict in the world. But, explains in a biological way such behavior emerged in society.

Anon2150 Oh yeah, that chem. /hormone is powerful. That's the Power of Love ... that's what Huey Lewis and the News said ;) ... and that other song... Addicted to Love by... Robert Palmer. 🎵🎵

the question of the ages, some people call that GOD

I guess scars are sign of more expirenced man who survived in dangerous situation. Hence he will be more effective in protecting his offspring.

@@user-kv1hm2wo6y Yes, you are right.

If you just judge based on first instinct you’ll be right almost every time. Judging based on appearance is the best tool you have. Use it.

🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 thats exactly why I started painting !!

I love this.....this is so wonderful.

Bro I read this ...and so inspired by u

MrMentalz2 @ it should not matter how dark ur skin is. If ur acne scars annoy you and u live in Australia u can get free laser if u say to ur Dr it gives u depression and u need to c a dermatologist. That would help with the acne scarring and hypopigmentation too

MrMentalz2 hormones & food

A lot of water, lemon, sugar and honey face mask(2 days per week) and problem solved:D

Dude, you are not alone with the "I am 23 and still have acne". I feel your pain.

MrMentalz2 go vegan

@@216trixie Having sexual intentions with someone and thinking someone is beautifull are different. So bro we are not bisexual.

@@cantoprak7428 True!

@@cantoprak7428 and hi to me from 3 years ago.

@@216trixie it means you don’t have a fragile masculinity. which is very rare in straight males

YEah... but the underlying principle is same. The subconscious factors that contribute to what a person regards as beautiful is more or less the same in case of faces and other things such as a place, or piece of art etc...

Michael Deering well he mentioned money as an indicator of beauty and fitness because of the ability to waste resources

face is 80% of beauty

Michael Deering You're right.

Blatantly !!

🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 thats what GOETHE told us . . .

I have a feet fetish; I googled, and found that it has to do with a woman's genitals.

maattthhhh It is an innate trait for newborn babies to prefer symmetrical and attractive faces. This is not a learned behaviour, this can be observed mere hours after a baby is born. A quick google search of "do babies prefer attractive faces" will get you links with numerous scientific studies about the subject. Here's one to start: www.newscientist.com/article/dn6355-babies-prefer-to-gaze-upon-beautiful-faces/

Actually, there are several cases of babies/toddlers going being more open and wanting more contact with women seen as beautiful. (for example, babies were a subject discussed with family and friends sometimes and I learnt I and other people I know were in the same case!)

I'm no scientist and I haven't run any tests, but I can also agree that kids are more harsher on beauty then adults are. However, I can also say that while kids may be harsher on looks, they are more emotionally strong and pure-minded, which is why while they may care about looks, to them they wouldn't consider starving themselves to look 'pretty' like some teens would. then again, it depends on the child.

+Maattthhhh Incorrect. A test conducted on 6 and even 3 month old infants showed when looking at sets of two pictures they spent significantly longer looking at the symmetrical faces rather than the uglier less symmetrical faces. An affinity for symmetry is implicit, I can remember building symmetrical structures with my blocks in kindergarten.

i read somewhere that the only natural fear a baby has is the fear of heights, so it's more than likely their preferences are in fact learned.

🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 its all about money and lies . . . I prefer honest, "poor" folks . . .

Beauty is good in and of itself. I don’t know any parent who wants their kids to be ugly or sick.
