(Confidence) Dear Ladies of the Nation,

[HeartsinNYC]

Love yo face Phil!

[damadae]

I am so glad that you took the time to point this out phil. It shows that your a good guy. A good guy with adorable dimples. By the way throw this at lindsay Yes Jason Stathom is totally hot. ;) I think hearing that phil's girl has the same crush that I do made my guy happy. lol So just to say in my book phil you are a total bamf

[chaoticdreamer08]

So I'm watching this in January of 2012. Why? Because I discovered you, Phil, about a month ago and am now addicted to your show and whatnot, so kudos for actually having a "news" show that doesn't make me wanna kill myself because of the world today. But this video definitely came at the right time because I've been struggling a lot with this very thing. In an odd way it's really good to know you care, and you've just made my whole week better. I even got a little misty-eyed, so thanks. <3

[MeltdKitKat]

two seconds after video, i think "i wish i was more like you" ... -.-

[Precious07ac]

O thank you! I really needed a male to tell me how to be more confident in my appearances because well all I care about is male approval. Now I can go into the world that totally objectifies women and hope that my confidence leads me to be objectified even more. Thanks for the advice.

[LaAndrea26]

hello, my name is andrea and i am size SEXY. marylin monroe was a size 14 just like me and she is a BEAUTY SEX AND FASHION ICON. i am LOVED and i get laid so who gives a shiet. fuckdapopoindapopo.

[Lilnaomi3]

Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. It is even more appreciated because of the options in this world and I am glad you know this. You are awesome.

[monicamayy]

just when i thought you could not be any more fantastic... nicely done phil. you are freaking amazing.

[lilredhead818]

You honestly just made me feel so much better about myself, and I know you've also made others feel better as well(:

Thank you

[MultiCrunchbar]

I have this stupid thing that I think, for some reason I think that if my hair doesn't cover my face at least a little, I will be ugly. I have been feeling like shit all day, you just made me feel like I'm at least a little bit awesome.

You are the best phil. :)

[kristine1111]

I have been watching you from the beginning. i love this video. i have it saved as a favorite in my bookmarks and go to it every once in a while to make me feel better. thank you

[rabbitlovesraven]

I <3 you, I literally watch this when I'm depressed and it makes me feel better, I thank you for helping me with my self esteem issues. You make me look at myself in a different light when I'm feeling down about myself and makes me more confident. Thank you

[Neenercakes]

I try to also keep "Our deepest fear" quote by marianne williamson in mind*

*Mental editting required for those of different (or lack of) religious beliefs

[ashtian123]

Pretty much in love with you. Just sayin'

[egao95]

[animeworldchick]

[Beautyallure11]

I really needed to hear that. I'm a fairly new subscriber but I find you to be a really cool guy. This video made me like you even more.

[taytay3911]

youre ridiculously adorable<3

[lilredhead818]

(: thank you. I absolutely love this Phil!

[kelsey458]

Inspirational!!!!

[TheWavebird]

Its Hard when you can see that that special someone is perfect but they themselves can't see it. I'll never miss my ex, she made her choice...but for that small window of my life, there was no one more beautiful to me then her

[peaceuvmind]

I think that with looks aside, you're still you.. and we women need to understand that even if we do ever obtain that "perfect" body.. it's not going to magically change us into a better person. At the end of the day, you will always be you no matter what you look like.. I honestly, am not the least bit offended when you talk about hot girls.

[12345stephsteph]

Phil, even really confident girls can feel sub par next to those models, especially when guys talk about how hot they are.

I really like your videos, I love your news updates and I think you have a great sense of humour, and I'm always happy to see a new post from you..

but to be honest as a girl, its never pleasant listening to you drool over those with the supermodel bodies. Because way more women DON'T look like that then those that do.

[HeartSetToLove]

yeah you're kind of more than a little awesome :)

[lillyfancy]

"be you and own it.." new favorite quote

[AaKayFfKay]

1:29 i jusy want to pinch your cheeks till you bleed awwwww :) i love yo' dimples, i gots both of them too :P

[justfortheDeFranco]

Thank you Phil...

Made my day :D

[myownkindofperson]

Thanks so much Phil. I really love it that you take the time to give some advice for all the ladies, that is what true awesomeness is. :D

[erynnnx]

gosh, this just makes you so sexy. go phil! :)

[jellocase]

lmao "my mouth's awsome...lindsay"

[Gunganwoman]

I'm favouriting this because it's just what I need to remember. Thanks Phil x

[lynsea]

[ILuvTrey4441]

aww Phil.. that was sooo sweet! THIS my fellow ladies is what a real man is!!!! he may not be perfect in looks or anything but h;s REAL. i love you Phil and your GF is a very lucky lady :D XOXO Vicki :)

[flutedude04]

I know that was for the ladies of the nation, but it can really apply to anybody. I actually needed to be reminded of that. Thanks Phil! :-)

[BByrlvr69]

Thank you for making me smile. I was kind of having a bad day until I rewatched this. :) I love you philip

[ilovefringe100]

Aw you're such a sweetie. This makes me so happy :)

[IxMISSxYOU2]

I watch this whenever I feel like shit about myself. Thankyou, Phil <3

(So yes, that is a LOT. But not as often after I watch this.)

[TheKnittingJudge]

As a member of your female nation, this really means a lot. Love you Phil!

[heathernichole125]

I have this video favorited so I can have it for a pick me up on a rotten day. I already have confidence, but it's always nice to hear. I love yo face, Phil!

[RoseyLynnDah]

You are such an inspiration of a human being. Thanks for being you. :)

[OipicSymphony]

gosh you as yellow as a simpson

[xXxindigochicxXx]

How is it possible to dislike this video???? You are amazing Phil and thank you for your beautiful words.

[desire4desiree]

Thank you :-)

[goofygrl08]

"Own it". Love that saying Phil.

[M0rdacious]

I am six feet tall too.... :D

[wrtiger16]

<3 love yo face

[DeeRaman]

awww he's so cute with those dimples ><

[gildajon]

so easy to talk much harder to do it in real life.

[HILARIOUSKID33]

COMMENT

[johnsmith]

Good advice man. I had a female friend who became so self-conscious that she ended up starving herself and developing anorexia. She spent months in the hospital while the rest of the year group were sitting GCSE's. It was so sad to see her like that.

[igotyourmoney23]

DIMPLEZ!!!!!! -^_^-

[Roxy2348]

what the hell? who would dislike this video?

[11blackroses]

You're so cute phil :)

[TheBrsavage]

im so gay for u

[TheCupcakekat]

I'm the same height as you and I'm a girl.

[manicshrive]

Thank you for this Phil :)

[TheKristinMarie]

some how...i imagin phill shorter...i didnt know he was 6ft tall. LOL

I'm so glad he is serious for once, i love this video. I respect him cause of this. made me think think about how confident i am about my self. thanks phil !

[BurgundyMutt]

That's so neat of you to send that message out to people. I found those comments about the supermodels to actually be funny because you weren't salivating while you said it - plus your brain wasn't dripping out your ear (always a good sign). Lots of other dorks on here do that but you seem to be a genuine nice person, which is really rare these days.

P.S. I have a secret crush on Sherlock Holmes...Specifically the Basil Rathbone one. Not so secret...

Yeah, so I'll just go. >.>

[MultiCrunchbar]

Thank you. :)

[jargabs]

Phil, you're an amazing person.

[filmist007]

Pretty good message to us guys too.

[lazerzzz]

Totally reminded me of a song by a band called Sophmore Jakes called Living Live on High Fives

[hcurtis89]

awesomeness!!

[SeekingTruth25]

wow, thanks Phil, I needed to hear that. I'm having some issues with myself. But I totally agree with you. I give myself a hard time and I admit, that, sometimes, i try and avoid the mirrors in my house. But, lately I have been appreciatting my uniqueness. Thanks Phil. Your girlfriend is a very lucky lady. (: Good luck to you guys. God bless.

[TheRumIsGone]

Heh. A little late to the party, but I did kinda need something like this today, as I have horrible, horrible self-esteem and this made me feel better. You rock, Phil.

[Cloud9ryder]

Your mouth IS awesome Sexy Phil! I love your sense of humor and your adorableness! Keep it coming for all of your girl fans like me ^_^.

[samm2412]

"my mouth is awesome....lindsey;P"hahaha

[KamyR0cks]

Haa! Your dimples are awesome ;D

[Eeveisgonefakeit]

This is Aws ^^

Love it ;]]

[crisdanigarribeta]

thres nothing cooler than being yourself

[clffy68]

Mutha fucka you're awesome!

[dwermes]

Thank you for not being the guy that only thinks of TnA. You say what my husband says when he said that "Hot chicks are fine, but after you do them, there's nothing left if they can't hold a conversation." He meant not a sexist way, but that if there's nothing but air between a girl's head, her attractiveness goes down REAL fast. It's refreshing to know that guys like you still exist. Your girlfriend is lucky to have you and I hope you two appreciate each other so much for the good like that.

[legendof]

@dwermes Your husband is banging hot chicks.

[tinatiger20]

You are awesome. (:

[violetbegum]

Aww Phil you're so considerate!

Thank you and know that we weren't judging you.

You talk about models but we know that you wouldn't diss us just because we were a size 0.

Love you! :)

[xSapphireEyesx]

You deserve a hug (:

[eeonn]

Love you, Phil. Great video. -Thumbs up-

[msDFTBAnerdfighter]

118 women have no confidence :P or are just a bunch of douche bags that just like "hot girls"

and thank you phil :) i love you and i know im sexy with my curyness :P cuz i love my big ass and my hips :P and my cheek chub is adorable :P

just thank you phil! i love you so much! :) always will!

[0hardcandy0]

I want a boyfriend like this :(

[javaromaa]

This hit me hard.. I started crying. ;-;

@linzibob that quote inspired me ty

[FMAguru2007]

I love YO face PhillyD! <3

[razorbladekisses101]

Thanks Phil for my new Facebook status..♥ your face.

[kamiluvsyew]

Love this Phil =) really made me feel better. But sadly I know I won't feel the same tomorrow or maybe in the next hour? When your with friends that constantly talk bad about people who look SO much better than you... kind of makes you wonder..O.O. Oh well, a smile for a minute is better than no smile at all =).

[LCC456]

Nice sentiment Phil...However I googled your girlfriend (in a non stalker like capacity) and she's hot...which is nice for you and great for her, but proves your pep talk about confidence being sexier than anything else was formed..in...your...arse.

[BrookieeDee]

Phil you just saved my life.

[ybutterfly33]

Thank you, Phil.

[iceeyes4478]

Thank you so much for saying that Phil! It makes a girl feel good to hear what you just said. Lindsay is such a lucky girl to have someone like you. <3

[lovebabysally]

:D <3 <3 <3

[rebeloh]

you're so awesome and cute. :D

too bad you're taken. lol

[CholaFateFG]

Tanks Phil (:

Btw you kinda look like a Simpson in that shot . hehehe ! Much love !

[NeverKnelie]

Phil! I love you, you are such a great guy. You just make everyone smile & you make everyone happy all the time! (: it would be awesome to meet you in person!!!!!

Lindsey is such a lucky girl to have you in her life!!! :D

[alexandraleckie]

you are a nice guy. :)

[tezbug1]

Thanks Phil. This made my day! Was having a crap one and you made me smile. So thanks :)

[1022fluff]

Phil I appreciate your meaning with this video and I agree with you. However, when you post videos featuring nothing but "perfect" model types, and the skinny bitches are shoved down womens throats every 5 seconds it's pretty difficult just to be confident. BTW my husband agrees with you on Selma, he wants a sandwich served on her chest. And I think Christina Hendricks' body is OOOOOOOOOOMG!

[tallicatube]

AMEN!!

[InsterV]

aw i love u phily<3 this is so true:)

[DelaDePaz]

i have dimples too! :P , thanks phil :) 

[jenny14love]

How can I be confident when I have stretch marks all over my body???

[annmarie817]

thank you.

[EmilyInRed]

You made my smile a little bigger :)

[jrsanford]

Wow... no jump cuts in this video. It was as if you were a different person. You sort of remind me of Max Headroom.

J.R.

[antony101286]

[jared23o]

[1337aznpro]

[Nani101]

[toulouse666]

You are not "a little bit awesome", you are the *definition* of awesome!

[Hispanickiss69]

this just makes me love you thisssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssss much more

[BoggySwims]

Well said Phil.

[KyraTheDruggie]

This is a very lovely video. It was very intriguing to watch, and your insightful words are quite awesepic. (That word I stole from a very good friend of mine...I'm sorry.)

[1BleedingMascara1]

Adding this to my favourites so I can watch it again when I'm having a fat/ugly/sober day and need to be reminded of the self-loving! xx

[TheLizyBorden]

This is awesome Phil. Most guys wouldn't admit that they have insecurities but you kick ass :D

[LaDork621]

Oh my gosh. You are like the cutest man on the planet. Much love<3

[kellyisakilla]

[yumenightfire27]

I love you Phil, you just made my day.

[yumenightfire27]

I just made this video my home page.

[USNAcrussell]

You just made my day philip defranco.

[RacewayAUT0sales]

You know.....your a pretty interesting guy....you remind me of my old friend that moved away to California .....unfortunately we don't share time together as I am in Ontario Canada ....but watching your videos actually has me intrigued with the content and alot of what you say and how you carry yourself is the type of people I am drawn to ....keep up the good work of being yourself Phil .....I can tell your a really decent guy...the kind of guy to be life long friends with.....high five!

[paulsgirl27]

Saw this and thought of you Phil

youtube/1RiSX1TQDKs

[baldur1911]

I want to be Phil, because he doesn't want to be me.

[oVEcka02]

wow Phil I got to say this is really nice :)

[PaleSkinnedBeauty]

I really really love this video! ira likw amazing!

[rodolforivera05]

Love this video

[thekbvideo]

Phil you're the only sexy man.

[Stratodreamer]

You have to be yourself... anyone else is already taken ;)

[Lemonygreen78]

DIMPLES= cute! lucky Lindsey, Lindsay, Lindsy however u spell her name;)

[tinypants143]

I LOVE YOU!!! You are always right on track when im down and thinking about certian things... you come out with these "cereal" blogs and always makes me happy to see im not alone

[mscatflakes]

you are incredibly sexy<3 <3...

[darkValkerie9]

Thank you :)

[goodtimesvids]

Lindsay is lucky to have you!

[Phalinra]

Like and like a thousand times. It feels good to hear any guy speak up and say that all women are special even if they don't look like "supermodels" or stuffs like that. GOOD GUY! =)

[jennej01]

you're amazing. thank you for this video. its funny how something so impersonal can make me feel better :)

[fluffyfailure]

Love your face and stuff, too, sir. XD

[Spiderprophet]

Thats your best vlog yet! Cheers for that was feeling pretty down yesterday. :)

[zinniada]

"my mouth is awesome .... lindsey ... " LOL!

[megsluvsya]

@maniacnick90 I believe he meant that when he talks about models and women with idealistic proportions his biggest fear is that he makes a woman self conscious about her body. Not that his biggest fear in the whole world at the end of every day of his life is about the ladies of the nation and their self confidence. P.S Phil I remember you mentioning this in a previous vlog and everytime it just reminds me of why I watch you

[OrangeCookie1542]

I have been told that I need a little confidence because I am beautiful but I don't see myself that way. I don't think I am pretty. However, I love my personality. I own it. I love my creativity, my humor, and ...odd...ness...ness :) I also love the fact that I am real. In a world full of plastics...we need a few real people. And Phil is right. Love yourself. Oh, and yay 4 dimples!!

[benevolentobscenity]

Hmmm, I really needed that. Thanks Phil. :)

[TheVozderazon]

You're too awesome Phil. Thank you for this video.

[DAMARSHALL100]

Sex

[MrPinkpartyhats12]

[J0ritz]
