Welcome back, how ya doing, give this a like if you clicked on it as soon as you saw it
- thats just an obvious ploy to get more like - my name is Danny Burke, this is WHATS GOOD
the reccomendation show for the busy viewer - thats you - blow kiss.
Uhhhh - first video is from The Infographics Show, its called Average Looking People vs
Beautiful People and its all about physical attraction.
CLIP.
We start off by going way back to the renaisance - and right there I think a few of my North
American viewers just learnt that we say renaisance in the UK and not ren - ess - ance.
Don't worry, this guy says it that way right now.
CLIP (0:39 - 1:08)
Yeah that was a very long clip, lets hope it doesnt get taken down for copyright.
He makes a great point though and something Ive often thought about - how much of what
we find attractive about someone is influenced by society.
Im sure a lot of you guys can picture what you would consider an attractive person right?
Got it, OK now stop thinking about me and picture someone else.
Hehe.
The point is, that person you have in your mind, real or not, may not be your actual
preference but the preference youve been subconsciously pushed towards all your life.
Obviously though, it doesnt matter what society or culture you grow up in, there are universal
things that humans find attractive or unattractive in other people - one of them that you may
have heard about is facial symmetry.
(CLIP 1:30)
Straight nose, check, balance jaw line, somewhere below my beard I
think it is and high forehead.
I have a pretty big forehead.
Well there you go, science has proven my attractiveness.
I did have a disease free childhood, I think - I had chicken pox.
Thats not a disease though is it.
Wow Ive been attractive for 10 seconds and Im turning dumb.
(CLIP CONTINUE)
I couldnt see what was wrong with this guy at first - I thought he was unnatractive because
he had an anchor tattoo … oh well he actually has two anchor tattoos - maybe its not the
nose, its that 2nd anchor tattoo - its one too many if you wanna be attractive.
(CLIP 2:44) What was wrong with that last guy?
I think it must be because he has a poo on his head.
Thats not an attractive trait in a partner.
You don't want all your kids to have poo on their head too.
For real though, this is a great point that I don't think a lot of people realise - the
whole reason you are attracted to someone is because you basically want your kid to
be like that person, at least in some ways.
So if someone ever tries to tell you that *** attraction is selfish, lustful thing
just be like - listen, Im just looking out for my unborn kids, I want them to be healthy
and happy.
Youll be a hero.
He goes on to talk about body modifcations around the world - ways in which we as humans
try to make ourselves look more attractive - some of you guys may be familiar with certain
African tribes that do this.
(CLIP 3:56)
Now, based on my super accurate YouTube demographics page, I can see that 99% of you guys watching
are from -Western- countries where this type of body modification isnt practiced.
But what you might not realise is that our culture does it just as much.
(CLIP 4:19)
And if you think about it, things like liposuction where
they -suck- fat off a person must seem really strange if you didnt grow up in a western
culture where that was the norm.
I just think that was a really interesting video.
Were physically attracted to people with symmetrical or structured features, people who we want
our unborn kids to be like and also what society tells us to find attractive.
It kinda makes me wonder if we have any say in it or are we just an auto pilot, destined
to be attracted to people just long enough to pass on our DNA and continue this confusing
cycle that we call life.
Or maybe we just want to avoid poo heads.
I don't know - do you know?
What do you find the most physical attractive feature about whoever youre attracted to?
Sorry if any of you havent hit puberty yet, Ive just realised this is all gonna sound
very strange and confusing to anyone whos younger than a certain age.
Well guys, you may have noticed that the bar at the bottom shows the video is almost over
and yet Ive only talked about one video.
Well, thats because I wanted to.
I looked for 3 videos and I found a few that were kind of OK but this is the only one that
I really wanted to talk to you about - so thats what Ive done.
Im thinking I may be able to make more if I just focus on one or two videos at a time
- what do you guys think?
My name is Danny Burke and thats … brush down hair … WHATS GOOD.
