    I think confidence is the ability to be vulnerable and acknowledge your weaknesses. It’s a fully acceptance of oneself.

    "What if I told you that self confidence isn't what you think it is?" Well, then I would say that you used an ancient rhetorical device to create tension and curiosity.

  • @BrianBors

    But their rating about physical attractiveness was self-reported right? So people graded these faces after being told the descriptions? I see how smell and background beauty can be tested in this way because people don't realize they are being tested on that. But of course I am going to rate the nice person higher on physical attractiveness. I want to do nice things back or I want to signal my own virtue by saying I am more physically attracted to more virtuous people. Or there might be some other factor at play, maybe the nicer personality makes the people appear "weaker" and the person knew that would happen so they try and compensate for that effect but compensate the other way around. The fact that this is self-reported makes me doubt the validity of the research rather a lot.

    Hi Thomas, I appreciate the researched back video. I used to be so fascinated on why some people are attractive and why some are not. As I noticed how people around me are so obsessed with beauty. I was not that impressed by it but my family always make commenst about who is beautiful who is not, watching beauty pageants and being impressed by specific features. I based my 1st research paper on What makes someone beautiful. I did find a lot of symmetry topics and standards of what is the trend at the moment. Some of the most common for women are LOng Black hair, Creamy white skin, Perfect set of teeth and proportioned facial features on th female body they just mentioned that the hip to waist ration is the most attractive. I noticed how we are all just following what the media dictates. What the society says. After the research I stopped caring much about it and even explored local showbizness internships and became part of the fashion and modeling world, which was unfortunately a sad place. Almost everyone is insecure, exploited or underpaid. The more I am around the "goodlooking people" the more I saw that it was not important. I grew up being me and I am aware of my flaws, scars and everything nice or not so nice about me but I like me. I love how you ended your video highlighting that. LIkeability factor is something that comes out naturally aftre a while. In the end everyone may not like you but it would be great if you like yourself :)

    This is some extremely soft science. The claim is that by improving your personality you can look more physically attractive. It could be that people like to like nice people, not that they actually find them more attractive. It’s easy and meaningless to rate pics of nicer people more attractive, they are, after all, more attractive overall and there may be no way to separate that. Do nicer people get more dates? Or do nice guys finish last. That’s really the measure.

    Beauty is subjective,and can not measured by numbers like golden ratio, 1) looking at disturbing photos can make you look less attractive 2) poor hygiene, if you smell bad you appear less attractive 3) trustworthy and good behaviour can make you look attractive 4) integrity and honesty, warmth and kindness, helpfulness

    I used to go fishing with my father when I was around 12-13 and not into boys yet. I saw a man that I can say some 40 years later was one of the most beautiful men I've seen. In retrospect, he looked like the statue of David: a deep bronze tan, curly dark brown hair, shirtless with white shorts and a thin gold chain. He spoke to my father and I but aside from his physical perfection, he was there with his elderly father and spoke very kindly to him and gently helped him cast his line into the water which highlighted kindness.

    This is super advice. I could tell I was crashing at work… and booked 2 weeks leave - my boss was not happy (I felt a lot of guilt over that), but he approved it (i’m on leave now - half way) it was really challenging the first week, I brought my laptop with for a few things to do for work, which somehow stressed me out even more than being at work. By Wednesday… I broke down into tears, and Thursday again after being asked to do small tasks for work. Letting go was hard, but on me, maybe thinking they won’t need me when I get back?? or feeling self important, like the company will stop functioning without me?? Since then I seemed to have released a lot of stress and enjoying a wonderful time. I know I’ll be more creative and productive when I get back. Thank you for this video.
