Wow, quite a subject to tackle, Shelby--and you did a great job! As a senior person who has in the past, benefited from this "privilege," I would like to add something really important: While there is nothing wrong with wanting to look one's best and even doing things from coloring your hair, to wearing flattering makeup, to having surgical procedures to boost one's confidence, don't forget to nuture your character along the way. Because there WILL come a day when even the best of looks fade and you become somewhat "invisible" to the world, no matter how hard you try. So those, (like you Shelby), who put as much effort into enhancing their character, having compassion for others and always learning, will still feel connected to the world and relevant when that "pretty privilege" expiration date comes around. And believe me, aging hits hardest on the ones who always had pretty privilege. So we'd better make sure our main focus of self-improvement is on the inside!

Absolutely. And one of the saddest realizations one will never know until they might get there, is when we are young, vulnerable and exponentially self-critical, we may not feel we look as pretty as (say) the most popular girls in school as we are "ripening" into our own maturity, only to become real beauties maybe 10 years down the road!

I lived this! My sister was the pretty one and growing up in a small town I heard on at least a weekly basis, "Is that your sister? She's so pretty! You don't look nothing alike!" It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I came into my own. Of course I had moved to a different coast, different friends, and learned to appreciate me the person, not just the outer appearance!

Same here... And my sister always told me that I can't be pretty and intelligent the same time... therefore... I felt ugly. But now, many many years later I realized that everything wasn't true. While beauty still lies in the eye of the beholder, I was far from being really ugly... And if we got compared now... Well, I needed years to boost my confidence (which is still broken) but I realized now that my sister was just damn jealous of me, I never got that. I always looked up at her as my idol and tried to be like her... well, as I got older I saw the real person... drug addicted and a liar... never apologized to me for anything she did. But it took years for me to realize that. Sometimes people just follow a beauty standard which might not be even yours and then they are just disgusting by telling another person ugly because they don't fit into their beauty standard. I saw that with many people who were really very pretty in my opinion, be it male or female. I am actually quite happy that I don't look like my sister now =)

Being tall isn't enough. I am 192 cm but ugly looking. Ugly trumphs tall I can tell you.

I've had a blepharoplasty - my eyelids drooped so bad it was messing with my vision. Most men and women on my father's side have gotten it done because of this. Not only can I see better but I have more confidence in my looks. I'm open about it, but it was done so well and naturally that no one noticed until I show them the before and after. Next, I work in trauma surgery and emergency medicine. Before that experience, I thought plastic surgery was only about cosmetics, but truly I've seen amazing things come from plastic surgery post-trauma to the face or other body parts. The point of plastic surgery is to bring functionality, and or a sense of normality after such an event. Great topic, Shelby!

Shelby! Did you know that plastic surgery and the value in physical appearance is absolutely enormous in South Korea?

When I was a teenager I got teased for my nose, and it wasn’t that bad. So I decided when I was 22 I’d give myself a makeover. I did a blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and breast Aug. I had to have a rhinoplasty revision 6 months later due to it not looking good at all. Now 12 years later just had to get my implants out and from BII autoimmune disorder starting from having them and my, eyelids that won’t stay closed so it impairs my sleeping and dries my eyes out so severely. I had actually thought about getting the lip filler that dissolves cause I have an aunt who got it, but your video alerted me there are consequences to EVERY procedure. So my twenty five cents are love the way God made you as much as you can and realize that a lot of it dissipates when you surround yourself with people who love you for who you are. Trying to keep up with social medias expectations and society is unrealistic and devastatingly unhealthy and has wreaked havoc on me. Is beauty worth stealing feeling good?

Fascinating, but very disturbing that people can’t be comfortable in their own skin. I don’t think that 20 year olds realize that there is a natural drop off in appearance in your mid 30’s.

A former customer from my sister's beauty salon had a decade long meltdown when she turned 50. She was still pretty before committing to Botox and plastic surgeries but she truly couldn't cope with aging. She placed too much value on being conventionally pretty and young looking. She was super mean to me the few times I interacted with her. She had a boutique and the one time I asked her about jeans she looked at me up and down with contempt and disgust and said she didn't carry my size at her store. It was pure rotten fatphobia.

There's a Netflix documentary called "White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch" that showed how the company became very successful in the late 90's to early 2000's. In a nutshell, they exploited the phenomenon that Shelby is talking about. They would stick their more attractive associates in the front of the store to deal with the customers, and their less attractive associates were stuck in the back of the store where they would organize inventory, returns etc. and were out of sight of the customers. It was a very dehumanizing strategy, but sadly it was very effective.

I realized many years ago that racism is all based on standard of beauty. And pale skin fits the standard of beauty for most people from most culture backgrounds. That’s the main reason people with whiter skin colour always get treated better and gain more privilege. Taking Michael Jackson for example.

I think that the fact that cosmetic surgery trends are cycling so quickly now is scary. For a long time it was a relatively limited range of things people could do but it seems like for a while now the options and trends are coming and going so fast but our bodies can't possibly swing from one procedure to the next and be ok over a lifetime. At some point there has to be an acknowledgement that we can't all possibly look the same.

I never understood why men stressed so much about hair loss and get a hair transplant. I started losing my hair when I was 18. Shaving my head boosted my confidence way more than any hair transplant ever could. I don't regret it a single bit. It comes from the mindset of just owning it.

I agree it’s best to just own it ☺️But to be honest, some men have funny shaped heads & being bald doesn’t suit their looks. Also being bald makes you look older than you are! And some men may not want that. They want to maintain their youthful looks. Having hair changes the way your face looks to society & it also increased your chances of being matched on online dating. Men with hair are assumed to be healthier. Although we know that’s not always true, but that’s just the assumptions people make lol 😂 so I can understand why men would chose to go through with a hair transplant, but I also think it’s better to just love your bald head and have the confidence that comes from within ❤

I think you highlighted it perfectly addressing diminished returns, alienization and body’s as a trend. These standards are not maintainable and are harmful on people’s perception of their value.

I have a small amount of forehead botox and a half syringe of lip filler and I feel like that's all I'm interested in right now, although I am considering in the future having a bleph done. I think anyone should do whatever they want with their face, but I always encourage people to start very small. It's easier to add more than take away. I want to avoid the highly fake look of a ton of filler and botox and other procedures, but the botox and lip filler I have are genuinely some of the best investment I've made in myself because it makes a subtle difference that overall makes me really confident.

I’m really liking the shift on your main channel. Keep this up!

Love this. This is AMPLIFIED in South Korea. Some corporate jobs will offer women “maintenance stipends” for beauty procedures, makeup, cosmetics, etc. so much of socio economic mobility depend on how you look and how people view you during first impressions. The standards are impossibly high and ever changing. For example, right now a “short nose” is trending rather than an elongated nose. So makeup, plastic surgeons, fillers, photo filters all follow the trend and flip flop when it changes. I’d love for you to dig in more maybe in a follow up episode!

Great job on putting on such a thought out video with fantastic research. I was also so deep into the Uglies trilogy books.

People don't understand the risk of a mediocre or bad result. Want a mole removed or a scar made less apparent? There's a 99 percent chance of a good result. But many plastic surgeries onlly fix one problem to create new problems. Take facelift for example, it solves the problem of facial wrinkles by removing skin. The wrinkles are gone (problem solved) but the patient now has an "always surprised" look (new problem).

Pretty sure most people who get that surgery are aware of that risk and take it into account

Especially in LA, it's so normalized, I thought everyone knew common plastic surgery scar "tells", cosmetic bruises, or even as simple as assuming someone likes you even if they have RBF due to Botox until I spoke to people outside of LA and I had to explain things to them😂

Commentary really suits you. I appreciate that you look at both sides and are really considered and interesting.

Love that you’re talking about this subject! I find the normalization of plastic surgery to be extremely sad, especially when we know that very young women are taking in this messaging. When I was a teenager, I was very insecure about the bump on the bridge of my nose. Thank goodness the idea of a nose job wasn’t hammered into my mind, because now that I’m almost thirty, it doesn’t bother me AT ALL. The idea of young me undergoing plastic surgery to “fix” something so benign is sickening.

What a great commentary video. I can’t remember the last time i sat through a long format youtube video without fast forwarding at some points. I watched this all the way through. I’m definitely going to check your other videos out since this was my first one. I am average looking and a size 14/16 but thankfully i never felt the need to get surgery. Lose weight, yes, bc in asian culture being skinny = being pretty. But now i exercise for my health and less so to look hot or whatever. People never believe im a size L/XL bc i have learned to dress for my body type. But when i went to korea last fall i did feel a bit down bc literally none of the clothes fit me there. The largest size they had was a L or even more commonly “free size” except you would need to be a size like 4/6 to fit those garments. I was relieved to get back to the US and not feel this pressure to be stick thin. I could never live there. You even have to put a picture on your resume in korea so looks really matter.

This video is amazing and one of your best so far, Shelby! I love all the nuance you took in talking about plastic surgery especially and why you understand people do it etc. The only thing I'd say is, not in a mean way, but just in a "I wonder if she has considered this?" kinda way: you too experience pretty privilege. In the video at one point it sounded like you don't think you do (when you talk about you having to work harder than other influencers), but you are very conventionally attractive and especially have a body type that's very "in" right now. Maybe you meant it as that other, conventionally more attractive people do have it even easier through their pretty privilege as they are prettier in comparison but I think it's important (mostly for yourself) to realize that you experience some benefits as well.

Yesss do the documentary!!

Wow, great video, coupd you do more of these a discuss specific procedures with possible side effects. For example I never knew lip fillers can move to your face 😮

I love these videos. this is a new era.

I had an episode of feeling ugly and thinking of how I would've been so much better now socially had I been prettier, thought that beauty is a natural selection method and that it's ingrained in us, but then I remembered once again how beauty is relative no matter how objective we try to make it, in the end beauty is nature itself manifesting. Certainly when we get old it doesn't matter anymore...

Great chat Shelby, I agree with all your points. I'm 55 and had botox on my crows feet and eyebrows twice and I absolutely loved it. I feel like my eyes have always been my best feature and it really made me feel like I looked more youthful and gave me confidence even though no one I knew could tell I had it done - not even my partner. I do want to have it again but it's so expensive and at this point in my life I think I'd rather spend money on travel, but who knows, maybe I'll do it again.

Use high quality castor oil (cold press at the minimum, better organic quality). It has to be kept in a dark bottle (a brown) and prefereably most of it in the fridge. The oil is very thick so you need little. It has antiinflammatory properties, is also used on things like warts, boils, skin tags. And I read that it can lighten discolorations of skin (redness, but also age spots). Watched a video before of a woman 74 years (in Vancouver) that used it on those spots and also on a scar on her knee. And she thinks it has softened her crow feets (she has very good skin) and she says she sees a difference after 30 days use. LIkely the oil keeps moisture in. People also report that the face is a bit plumped up (in a good way).

Shelby I love these new commentary videos, I look forward to them every week now :)))

Took me ages to watch this video. I thought it would be boring but was super interesting. Hope regular vlogs come back too though! 😘🥰😍

Shelby, very well done video. Well researched and presented!

Really liking this new commentary style videos you been putting out. Pretty privilege has always been a thing, but the lengths people are going through to get there is just crazy. I agree with getting 1 or 2 procedures done to improve that thing that has been holding someone back. But this new trend of fixing everything till you look like unnatural, well is just a trend... that sadly, when it's over... people will not be able to reverse.

Excellent and informative video!

This is impressive, Shelby. I've never had any interest in any of this, never think about it; but this was fascinating. Great job, thank you! Well documented and the narrative was well-designed. Very interesting. A side note: a pharmaceutical company called Allergan? So weird-just sounds like "allergen"! Can't believe they didn't even catch that 😀

I learned a lot. Thank you!
