Real Beauty



Sorry guys... I know this blog was more for the ladies, but I liked it.

What did you think of the video? Do you think you would have described yourself worse, accurately, or better than reality? Do you think you're more critical of yourself than others are? Explain. I tend to think that ladies are more apt to criticize themselves, while guys are more apt to brag. Do you agree? Why or why not?

For a guy, I still think the video was pretty interesting. I would most likely describe myself worse. No, I really don't care how I look. Yes, women do seem to criticize themselves on how they look and are dressed. Guys like I said just really don't care.

I would probably explain myself accurately or maybe a little worse. I am more critical of myself depending on my mood. The rest of the time I don't really mind what anyone does. Guys brag more but a lot of it isn't serious.

I loved this video. I would have said worse thing about me than what really happened. I always say bad things about me and people always say he opposite. Women always are worse on themselves than men. most mean and look stupid and nobody cares, but if women do it then everybody else talks about her also.

I watched the full video of this the other day. I teared up a little bit when I watched it on Wednesday. It shows how women always usually put themselves down. I would most definitely describe myself worse than I actually am. I definitely believe I am more critical of myself than others are of me; if someone compliments me, I usually don't accept the compliments. Girls definitely tend to criticize themselves more than guys because of all the pressure that society puts on women to be skinny and beautiful all the time.

I liked this video. It showed how most women do look at themselves worse than everyone around them. I would probably describe myself worse. I know I am more critical of myself than others are of me. Most girls tend to only see their flaws, when they should be focusing on their natural beauty. I agree that ladies criticize themselves while guys tend to brag.

I thought the video was interesting. And I like what the video is saying. Because I feel like I, as well as most other people, would describe them worse than they actually look. And I say that because I, like most people, I am more critical to myself than I am to others. I don't always say it, but when I feel like I'm a failure in some way, I silently chastise myself, and it sucks. And I feel like girls are more apt to criticize themselves. And I feel like us guys brag way more than we should. Everyday you hear a girl saying, "She did this better than me," or, "She wore that better than me," always putting themselves down, and being so critical. But guys tend to think they're the best.

I enjoyed this video a lot. Everyone is their own worst critic. It doesn't matter what is is, each person will describe themselves worse than how others see them. Ladies are more apt to criticize themselves because of the fact that they are used to everyone else criticizing them also. If a girl doesn't have a perfect face or a perfect body, society criticizes.

Thanks Mrs.Bryant for getting my eyes to water! I love this video. It's powerful. I would describe myself worse just because I have things I would like to change. Yes, I am more critical to myself just because their are some things I like and dislike. Yes I do agree cause women care about how they look, and guys could really just care less.

Wow, it's amazing how well he draws just basing it on what people tell him. True talent. But I do think that people, women especially, beat themselves up more than others could. Most people really wouldn't care too much how you came dressed or the way you look when at school. But many over-analyze and underestimate themselves. Natural beauty exists. It's natural to discredit oneself from how much they contain, but many are not fit with what they look like or who they are. When in others' eyes it is more positive rather than negative. :)

This video was pretty interesting. I would probably describe myself worse. I don't care how I look. Women are more critical of how they look. Guys tend to not care unless they're fighting over a girl.

I thought the video was okay. I think the man that was drawing people is talented,because I cant draw at all. I don't really think critical of myself, but I can brag a lot. I agree because most guys want to show of what they own and how good they can dress.

The video was very interesting. Personally, I would have described myself a whole lot worse than I actually am. I definitely criticize myself more than others criticize me. i believe that because I criticize myself more than I criticize other people. I think everybody has their own doubts in themselves whether or not they admit it. They might think "Well, I can't do this" or "I don't look good enough". Its not just girls that doubt themselves and their looks, guys do it too. And its not just guys that brag about themselves or their own looks, some girls can too.

I really liked this video. It made me feel some type of way. It is actually true most women put themselves down mainly because of low self-esteem. But then you do have some women that's totally arrogant and conceited. For me myself I know that I am critical towards myself than others are of me. On the other hand guys have the "I don't care attitude".

Anna DeMatteo said...

I loved this video! It's so interesting how he can draw them just based on what people told him. I think I could describe myself accurately. I know I am more critical of myself than others are. I agree with you on ladies being more apt to criticize themselves, while guys are apt to brag.

Courtney Morrill said...

I liked the video. I found it interesting how accurate the drawing was when other people described the women. I most likely would have described myself worse than reality. I definitely think I am more critical of myself than others are; that's just the way I am. I do agree that guys are more likely to brag and girls are quite the opposite.

Raegan Hasty said...

This video is very interesting. I have never heard of this before. It is fascinating to compare the two final drawings. I would describe myself worse. Women are more quick to judge and criticize themselves than guys are. Women are always looking in mirrors searching for minute details that aren't as big of a deal as we make them to be.

I have seen this video before, and I thought that it was very accurate. Women tend to criticize themselves more than men, but I'm not sure why. It almost comes natural for women to do that. They not only want to impress guys, but they mostly look good for other girls. I think that it's just what society expects.

Tyler R said...

It was pretty cool he can draw. I don't know how to describe myself. I don't know.

Mason C said...

I found this interesting. However, I didnt find any of the women very attractive at all. They were too old for me. I tend to downgrade myself as well. I think women downgrade themselves a lot but I'd rather them downgrade themselves to me rather than try to flaunt themselves. The thing I hate most is a girl that thinks shes cute and she isn't.

Hunter Dixon said...

The video was cool that man can sketch. I would have described myself worse. I am more critical upon myself. I don't know because not everyone is the same.

Breanna said...

I think that women do criticize themselves more than they should. I'm not good at describing things so describing my self would probably be hard. I would probably describe myself worse because I can't describe and I'm very critical of myself. I think that guys don't care as much as girls so they are apt to brag about themselves while us girls criticize and make sure we look good.

Cass C said...

As a guy, i think this video was boring(just being honest). I would have probably described myself worse than reality. Im not really critical of myself. And yes there are alot of cocky guys out there who brag all of the time, but thats not me.

Chantel :) said...

I mean I understand fully this video. There's been times where i felt insecure about my looks , but as you look around everyone has their own natural beauty. I really think I would of made myself ugly. Yes, cause girls doesn't go around talking about how go they look or anything but dudes do.

Jordan said...

I love this video, its so sweet. I probalby would have described myself worse. I think most women do judge themselves more than men and some men could care less about what they look like. I've also seen men and women walking around thinking they are hot stuff.

Its interesting how he can draw them from what people told him. probably wouldve described myself accurately to see if he could. not sure if others are critical about me.

I really liked this video. I do believe women criticize themselves more than men. I would probably describe myself worse. It's just how women are, we dress up not only to impress ourselves but to impress guys and other women. I'm not exactly sure why. This video show that we are all beautiful, even if we see ourselves otherwise.

This video was very true. Girls think they look bad, but they actually look fine. I do this too. I used to think I was the worst looking person, but now that I have become older, I have been able to see how beautiful I am. I'm not drop dead gorgeous, but I'm not not terrible at all. I have become less critical of myself this past year. I have let my hair go natural and worn no make-up this year. Years before I would do my hair and wouldn't walk out of the house without make-up on. Girls are more scared of what they look like. Some guys do brag more, but there are the ones that care just as much as girls. There is nothing wrong with caring about what you look like, but here comes a point in life where you need to accept who you are and what you look like and be happy with yourself. You can't see what others see in you, but most of the time they see more beauty in you, then you do yourself.

the video was good. People do criticize themselves more than they should sometimes. i agree that girls criticize themselves while guys brag because girls have more to criticize on like how they look and stuff, guys just brag on how good they are and stuff.

I think people describe their selves in a different way because no one really sees the things you see about yourself. Everyone has something they don't like about the way they look. I don't agree that agree that girls criticizes them selves more. I just think some people don't have the self confidence of others, depending on what they've been through. Everyone's different.

Hunter Alexander said...

This video was very heart warming. I thought I was ugly, but after seeing the video I might be a little pretty. Yes, I am most definitely more critical of myself than others. I always brag about my beauty, so I agree guys tend to brag.

Abby Haring said...

This video was truly touching. I think I would have described myself worse because like those other women we just don't give ourselves enough credit for our beauty. I do feel I am more critical on myself. I feel that yes guys brag but I believe its a front and deep down they might not feel as confident in themselves. I also feel ladies are more prone to down ourselves and need to embrace there beauty more. Its crazy to see how we view ourselves and how other people do.. its kind of depressing as well that we are seriously that hard on ourselves.
