Glimpse: A Documentary about Self-Image: Advantage?

[pixelated111]

I think the advantage to being beautiful is that you get admired, and it raises your self esteem. I'm not beautiful, but my two older sisters are. I can see that they get admired. That people like them, and that others think my sisters have pleasant personalities.

On a side note, my sister is an auditor. Lol.

[pixelated111]

Is it just me or does Ron seem like he's up himself?

[pixelated111]

Why do so many people dislike this? I think this is a wonderful documentary.

[Sceptical112]

Andee seems really arrogant .... it's the way she talks... :(

beauty in my opinion is connected to love. i may consider someone physicaly attractive but if i do not experience love towards them, they are nothing. i would say 99.999999999999 of human population is not beautiful compare to the one i love and my kids.

Outer beauty is only advantageous when complimented with inner beauty. There are some considered beautiful who have vile personalities. As well, someone who is so inwardly beautiful will appear to have almost an aura about them, even if they are not outwardly beautiful. I have known individuals like this who exude an energy that goes beyond physical appearance. Kindness is beautiful. Showing respect towards others is beautiful. A vibrant, open personality is beautiful.

I believe that beauty can enhance pretty much any positive attribute. If you are beautiful and intelligent, you will seem that much more intelligent, because it is coupled with beauty. If you are beautiful and kind, your kindness will be that much more radiant. Beauty is a gift to be cherished, and if you can see it in that way, to value as opposed to exploit it, that is true beauty.

The SINGLE? How can somebody only answer with one advantage! This series is about honesty, so I'm not holding back. For me, it is everything. Shallow or not, it is my everything. But perhaps, that is because I its my type of hard wiring, I can hold any emotion with a visual representation. If I look hot, I feel hot. I run faster because I picture myself in a Gatorade commercial, you know, where there are attractive people running and sweating beads of Gatorade. Self image is very powerful thing.

[Castaa]

Interesting comment. I wonder how you would answer the other questions.

[Songbottle]

You get to have a giggle and a sense of joy in your heart from time to time, just knowing that you are gifted with a beautiful face. It is a pleasure to feel beautiful, and it helps you to see beauty in the world, when you see beauty in yourself.

Ah, the lady at the end has such a good point! Confident, good looking people who may not be attractive by Hollywood standards can have the same advantages as a supermodel! :) These videos are really fascinating and I am definitely willing to spend half the night watching them. I really love people...I think I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

[moj125]

i love that these videos display true human feeling,weather you agree with the people's peception or not you empathize with them simply because you know they are being honest,and in truth it is better to know the truth and being able to do something about it rather than not knowing or being ignorant

[Castaa]

Thanks. I'm glad you appreciate that like I do.

[chrissytinalalala]

This one is a tough question to answer. I feel beautiful people have the ability to influence others. But, I think that only beautiful people who have the confidence to complement their looks have this advantage. Many beautiful people use this gift the wrong way, in that they manipulate the people around them to satisfy their own wants. But, a truly beautiful person will use their appearance to become a good role model and someone to look up to and admire. :)

[belliebum12]

beauty gives someone "control" over people around them because the beautiful are idolized in society.

Excellent series Castaa I love these kinds of videos!  Excellent Job!

[Castaa]

Hey thanks!

[paulosham]

Great video but at 8.50 Holly has her arms over her knees and it makes her head look really small.

[Castaa]

Holly's head is normal size. I can assure you. :D I cool thing about Holly is that she agreed to do the interview somewhat hungover and not dressed up. Holly freaking rocks.

[paulosham]

I'm not knocking Holly, I was just saying that when you were filming her the camera was too close so there was a distortion of perspective.

[oliviapeachcom]

looks only get you so far, half these people are absolutely stupid and wrong, I have dumped some of the most beautiful guys cause they were bad or stupid people, these young kids don't get it, and it's realy sad, we get old and then if you are famous and start to age you get shitt on, beauty fades, I surely haven't gotten what I wanted in life cause of my looks!

[PointsofOriginII]

Boy, Amy nailed it perfectly: Getting anything you want! ANYTHING. People, jobs, money, goods.

The was the best segment so far.

[Castaa]

Thanks Points. I wasn't really feeling there was enough variation or surprise in this segment.

[PointsofOriginII]

This segment had and emotional core; at least to me; that was riveting!!!!!

People (like me) are complete dismissed in life because of looks. If there was a beauty HGH, what would it be worth???

Man, if I had 5 more inches (in height) and beauty my life would have been soooooo much easier, so much more validated and I could accomplish anything.

[PointsofOriginII]

Look at the top 100 You Tube channels of all time. A lot of good looking people, with tight bodies and very little talent.

[HateNeverCeasesHate]

I think beautiful people tend to have a naive sense of confidence, and ugly people tend to have a naive lack of confidence.

[PointsofOriginII]

Us phyically ugly people have a lack of self-confidence alright, but it ain't naive.

Try livin' forty years of abuse and rejection!

[Songbottle]

Oh- that's so sad. I am so sorry for you. It proves that beauty is a gift to be cherished and not taken for granted. But on the up side, you get to see a blatent picture of the nature of people in reguards to the physical appearance of people, and then delve into the deeper meanings to life. I was unattractive most of my life until I turned about 20, then I blossomed, so I know what it looks like from both ends. You should read "A New Earth" It could really help you.

[CousinoMacul]

There was a lot more agreement on this question than the others.

[jonjames1986]

I think that beauty can catch attention, but only character can hold it.
