REACTING to influencers in real life - Mathilde Tantot & Isabelle Mathers 

Ikr? The audacity

If the cam pans up you'll find this face 🤡

Really well put! I'm in a similar situation and I couldn't agree more. Wishing you all the luck in the world on your journey, stay strong, you are so worth it🍀💕

@@lyrsglassblossom Thank you, That’s so kind of you. I wish the same for you. It is such like a warm hug from another part of the world (I am from Germany). Sometimes being understood by a stranger is more than you get from persons you know well.

Agreed! I'm going to be 60 in a couple days and this beautiful woman has helped me to look at myself in a positive light. I adore her!

Same since I was 5. I’m 54 now and still struggling. X

​@@JettypilelegsThis is so sad. I hope you're happy or closer to happiness. Have a nice day

liposuction .... a lot of fat burner machine. lol to be heavily identified with any materiality is a pain in the ass. i dont mean to sputter any cliche philosophy jargon but its really true. you just need a few select people whom you love and genuinely love/ accept you in return for who you are and thats just it. you dont need the world or strangers to validate your existence. if you develop this mindset enough, you even need just yourself to fulfill you not in a conceited manner but in a wholesome way

yes, i'm skinny but i still have stomach! I was wondering about those tiny flat stomach. i might look like that if i starve for more than 12 hours otherwise no, it' is impossible.

@@effingcool1780 liposuction.. dont starve. it slows your metabolism down and tricks your system into thinking it needs to store fats because theres not enough energy coming in. . just eat and move around.

It's sad that even schools teach that it's only your ribs that protect your organs.

Like fr, it’s obvious it’s retouched

Unfortunately, yeah. These pictures and similar ones make their way on Pinterest and girls comment saying they wish they looked like them. And if you point out that it’s photoshopped a bunch of people comment back that it isn’t and you’re body-shaming by implying their pics are fake. People are so desperate to look like this they’ll believe anything is real, even if their waist is the size of their neck.

Right? Juveniles are easier to fool as they have much less perspective and awareness. It’s the grown adults believing these bodies are real that blows my mind. As far as men go, most are oblivious lol.

@@dscar1493 haha as I've grown older, I've truly directly learned and have experienced the saying "men think with their dicks." I have hundreds and hundreds points of data to prove that statement is correct

@@dscar1493 tbh I’m 19 and none of my friends would believe that it was real, I really wonder who gets fooled by that, maybe 14 and under

@what ever yes exactly!! No matter if we workout daily or change up our diets/stick to them, our bodies won’t magically change shape like these influencers love to selfishly promote. I’m glad you’re doing it because you like it though and not for other harsh reasons!

I definitely agree! Body shape is very dependent on our bone structure and how our body produces/metabolizes fat. Everyone will look different even if they do the same workouts or follow the same eating regimens as these influencers. Not enough people realize this. So when someone says “Do this workout to get a body like mine”, it’s actually quite deceptive.

For sure they would! It's so ridiculous lol!

if accepting and recognizing beauty in all of it's forms was a trend, everyone would feel proud and comfortable in their own skin

I’ll bet anything they’re come back in trend in about five years time lmao it’s so crazy how body parts literally *trend* but also the fact that the trend will change so fast in just a couple years.

i wish they would i dislike mine before they were had a name for them.

@@hotsexyangel Body weights and proportions trend while the same body shape (hourglass & pear) stays the same.

Exactly why I don't follow a single one. They have nothing to offer me other than pictures of themselves mostly naked.

@@MomoSimone22 exactly 💯

EXACTLY THEY DONT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. Like why the hell do these girls have millions of followers ??!? I don’t follow a single one.

@@kelly.nicole hahah unfortunately this world runs on sex and almost naked pictures of women on the internet are going to get the absolute most attention always

@@kelly.nicole It boggles my mind too. I can't understand why so many people would follow them.

I am 40 and have been feeling self conscious about my body even though I work out regularly. These videos have been helping, although I don’t think I ever needed any help with my body protecting my reproductive organs as I never had kids so wtf?! 😂 Love your vid’s Stephanie!!

They do label it if you use an Instagram filter! I think that's great. A step in the right direction. I agree it would be nice if we got disclaimers for editing too

I think they have that in Norway!❤ should be applicated in every country

I think she's gaslighting even herself!

France has laws concerning commercial photoshop. I'm not sure if she's advertising something on IG, else she of course doesn't have to mention the editing.

I actually believe she is naturally a beautiful shape. Her mostly natural looking images that are untouched from what I gather are very similar to those with touch ups. Some women just have this body shape naturally. Genetics does play a role in this.

@@CatalinaFOIA No, it's not. She edits her waist to an extremely small size. Stephanie very clearly showed that in the beginning of this video.

@@CatalinaFOIA poor guy, you've been bamboozled senseless

@@henriette7669 ‼️See what worries me and what I have seen a large trend of recently is men who have Instagrams who follow all of these women who GENUINELY believe they look like that in real life. These men GENUINELY don't know all of the tricks and how much Photoshop goes into these pictures. And so I have seen these men commenting on real life women saying well such and such influencer looks like that why don't you or if you would just watch what you eat and work out more you could look like *insert influencer* too. I've been seeing this on Reddit a lot. Men who genuinely don't know that literally every single influencer heavily photoshops their bodies and so they are expecting real life women to look like this! When even the influencer in the picture they're comparing normal women to doesn't look like that! I really believe it should be a required class in highschool that every one of all genders has to take about Photoshop and how to recognize photoshop. I definitely think videos like yours could greatly benefit both men and women. Especially because Photoshop and photo editing apps are getting more and more realistic and it's getting harder and harder to tell what is photo magic and what isn't! And this problem is literally only getting worse and worse as technology gets better and as more men join Instagram.

❤❤❤

one of my coworkers didn't realize that there are literally filters that change everything about your face. he showed me a girl he thought was so hot and I was like...that shit is fake lmao showed him a video of before and after photoshop and filters of IG and Tiktokers and he was STUNNED🤣 why I'm glad my husband has never had social media lmaooo

Thank you for this and so much love to you. This sounds so much like my life x

I agree but I do not get how you can be satisfied with putting on social media heavily photoshopped pictures knowing that your body and your face do not look like that in a real life , it is kind of mental torture

Yes I think the real pics look better

And looking the same

It’s kind of all recent generations. Before photoshop, women used to corset to get these waists. Flappers were stick-thin. Then the models of the early 2000s. Sucks 😫

@@gothicxromantic Before cameras people were "editing" themselves on paintings and statues. And even with the first "public use" cameras in the second half of 19th century, people were already photoshopping the films. There were whole courses on how to make the waist thinner, chest larger, skin smoother (especially in the time when many people had skin marks/scars from pox, syphilis and whatnot).

I've seen some not making themselves thinner per se, but smoothing out the skin. So for example removing cellulite and editing some fat rolls, which then makes the skin look firm.

Yeah, it’s always confused me that all of these plus sized models still have sharp jawlines and no double chins in any of their professional images. Is that just normal?

I had the same experience! In the end, a flat stomach is not a healthy sign...

@@heranails8363 you can have a flat stomach and also be eating enough and be healthy. It’s not always a sign that someone is under eating or unhealthy.

@@lunarbaby2217 having a flat stomach and having a tiny waist are two different things.

@@canesugar911 tell that to HeraNails

@@lunarbaby2217 did you read the part where she said that it is not healthy?

Anyone who looked "flawless" in their pictures is likely editing their pictures, just in ways you cannot tell, such as the technique of completely airbrushing someone's skin and then layering skin texture on top to make it look real. In the very very slim chance that the photos are not edited or filtered, they're probably still wearing a full face of expensive makeup, and using professional lighting to look "flawless". Not to be cynical, but pretty much everyone with a social media platform that consists of pictures of themselves edits their pictures. If someone looks "flawless", then they edit their pictures, because people are not flawless. While the pictures may look less posed and maybe less edited, just keep reminding yourself it's a mix of make-up, lighting, and Photoshop. It's all fake.

@@saskia9720 yeah i mean posing etc is also a big thing. we all know how we look in our best/ worst angles 😂 and i notice some of these girls are posting more realistic pictures now and they deleted the old ones so some of them might chose to stop editing their pics and don’t want to portray that toxic beauty standart anymore. anyways they got „fame“ by fitting in to that and even though they’re still beautiful i’m afraid they wouldn’t have been getting the same attention if they didn’t start out with edited pics

Same ! I saw them too and they are gorg

You are absolutely right , I don’t think a lot of people discuss this aspect. I used to be a photography major just prior to the beginning iPhone days . The distortion from a selfie cam is really intense actually, especially the closer you see to your phone . Since a feature only looks the way it does because of light, lighting is everything . Did you know that most model photographs or things of that nature have a system of lights to light ones face from below above and the sides , creating an effect that rarely happens in natural lighting. They use giant gold pieces of fabric to bounce even more light onto models faces. It was interesting to see that my older cousins were the first I heard of using face tune , they had young daughters and it just blew my mind that they didn’t see the ramifications of that . Here if you ever need a chat ❤

It's not just young girls. Its men, women, and children..I guess everyone is not as smart as you.

You're actually part of the problem by calling a "not so thin" woman average and a "tiny" woman super beautiful and comparing them. This is sick behaviour.

@@marsargo9472 Agreed!!!
