WEBVTT - The Short King Vs Short Hair Paradigm 👑 💇 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:02.560 The Flex and Rooms Daily. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:06.040 Podcast, brought to you by Caa. 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.000 Hello Mancherie, Happy Monday. It's Flexing f Rooms the catch 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.320 up podcast and I really like this podcast. The bit 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:17.040 that we're going in depth about is influencers. Lil is 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:21.799 a self identifying influencer. I'd say I am influencer adjacent. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.400 Maybe you can take the content creator. 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.880 I hate content creator really so reductive. Yeah, I hope 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.319 that we get to a point where we think of 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.520 another name for content. I know that's a bit nitpicky, 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:35.440 but the. 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:36.560 Full set producer. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.040 Yeah, I guess it is what it is. You know, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.479 but before content was considered content, it was content that 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.880 was like stuff you put in your glove box. 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.199 Yeah, the content person, which is. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.839 What content should be? Such dime. It doesn't. But we're 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.480 going to be talking about influencers that edit their photos 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.360 and the intricacies of that. Apparently in Sweden there is 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:58.680 a law, was it Norway? 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.800 Norway and the UK they're proposing a bill to have 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:08.600 influencers who edit their images to no, not edit their images. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.640 We're called talking digitally alter your body in paid posts. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.680 I have to disclose that in writing in a clear 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:18.479 spot for everybody to see it did an effort to 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.160 tackle body dysmorphia. Because the stats are statsing and it's 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:22.679 not looking good. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.880 Breathorry, not at all. All right, let's get into. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.679 It, flex and firds. 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.120 What kind of world do we live in where a 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.680 billionaire doesn't want it to be known? Nicki Minaj posted 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:38.120 a video of her getting onto this huge plane. Huge 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.319 I don't even know, Like it wasn't a Boweing seven 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.200 or seven, but for a private plane, private jet. It 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:49.240 was beefy. As she's filming this private plane, she says, 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.400 and I quote, this is what happens when you got 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:53.600 a rich I'm. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.160 Sorry, a very rich, rich, rich, rich. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:01.040 Canadian friend who was the only billionaire I know that 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.200 doesn't want people to know he's a billionaire. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:03.880 I get it. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.040 But all right, presumably going on to Drake's jet, he 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.120 has a couple, naturally, But it makes sense that. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.000 Drake would be a billionaire. But why would he want 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.920 to hide it? Oh? You know what I mean? 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:15.960 Do you have a theory? 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.679 I don't know, Like, I don't think he's trying to 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:19.440 be relatable. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:24.080 I don't think it serves him negatively for that to 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.880 be a fact. But I was also thinking well, of 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.799 course he's a billionaire because he signed a Sony deal 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.720 for two albums for four hundred million. And that's the 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.840 speculation as to why he dropped him so quickly, just 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.560 to get in and out of the deal, because he 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.440 can do two albums easy one last year won this 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.359 year eleven months in between they both bop. Secret Drake fan, 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.919 but I'm hopeful. Okay, So there's that. I don't know 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.440 why he wouldn't admit it. Producer Brook thinks that Drake 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.720 is hiding his wealth so he'san to pay child support, 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.360 which is a possibility, but still, you know, your wealth 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:56.840 is well documented. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.040 It's not getting out of the alimony payments. 0:02:59.120 --> 0:02:59.680 Yeah. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.400 Interesting, I wonder he's very much a soft boy, isn't he. Yeah, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.799 that's gotten a bit more horny lately, like when he 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.200 air dropped. That's with age though, Yeah, yes, no shame. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:12.000 I don't have any theories. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.040 Well, we don't even know if I'm assuming it was Drake, 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.359 because who else could she be talking about so candidly. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.400 Canadian friend, very very rich, doesn't want you to know, 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.079 and they're very good friends, right, very good friends, very 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.880 good friends. When I have a good theory, I'm waiting 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.640 on Reddit to peculate some stuff and I'll come back 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:26.799 to you. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.880 Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj be the first female rapper to make 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.040 so many plays on a song as super Freaky Girl. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:40.320 What So? Last week, Kaita wrote super Freaky Girl owns 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.000 the biggest debut for a solo female rap song in 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.160 Spotify history. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:44.720 WHOA. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.800 I don't know what that means, but I'm here for it. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.320 And I have listened to her five times. 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.640 This song you really like? I love it? 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.960 Flex and every now and then and we bring you 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.640 the most interesting news I think the Internet has to 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.320 ofk I like to keep us informed. I want to 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.880 know if you think there should be a label warning 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.200 on Instagram post to let you know when influencers have 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.160 digitally altered their body. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.640 Hard yes, hard no, go hard no so. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.680 Last year, Norway made it illegal in an effort to 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.560 tackle body dysmorphia on a wide scale. So there were 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.520 amendments to their two thousand and nine Marketing Acts to 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.000 make it illegal for influencers to share retouched photos of 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.200 their body in promotional posts on social media without acknowledging 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:31.760 that the image had been edited. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.159 It's like you can do it. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.400 But you've got to say, hey, slimmed up the arm 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.479 a little bit, you know, made the feet a little smaller. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.440 I know, kin kot ashition does this thing where she 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.520 reduces the visibility of her traps. 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.600 It's a thing she does. Yeah, right, so that was interesting. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.239 Now this year, a year later, the UK is following 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.920 suit and they've just put forward a bill for something similar. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:55.000 They said. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.920 From April to October twenty twenty one, the NHS saw 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.599 hospital of Mimisis for anorexia, bolimia and eating disorders in 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.160 young people age seventeen and under rows by forty one percent. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.560 They said, it's not a game anymore. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.599 Like, we can't just ignore it and assume that people 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.159 will build healthy habits or they'll find their way to 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.480 alternative ways to manage what they're going through. And so 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.720 they largely believe that the pandemic has pushed our lives 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.360 and interactions too far onto social media where people can't 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.440 discern between you know, they don't have time to step 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.640 back or step away from what's pushing them further into 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.240 this way of thinking. Broadly speaking, people are on board 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.120 with it. They say, yeah, this is good that the 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.640 government is taking more initiative to understanding what's impacting young 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:44.039 people and proposing bills that make everybody responsible for how 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.719 this impacts young people. However, there is criticism. They say, 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.320 first of all, yes, Norway has implemented this, but not 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:57.400 all Norwegians follow Norwegian people. So if your Instagram following 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.839 is majority international people, then you are not going to 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.120 see them disclosing when they have or have not been edited. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.120 And what are the odds that you follow predominantly Norwegian people. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.640 I know on my social media timelines it's full of Americans. Yeah, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.320 like it's very americanized. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.400 We get the like often people from Texas say I'm 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:16.400 listening from Texas. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.039 You just want to be like, yeah, me too, Thank 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.159 you King, and thank you. So that's a big consideration. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:27.400 And then also the bill specifically focuses on paid posts. Now, 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.120 of what content creators and influencers are posting, we could 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.440 say that we're being generous half of its pay posts. Yeah, 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.600 let's say we're being generous. If the other half is 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:43.360 organic reels and tiktoks and stories and snapchats and whatever, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:45.960 it can kind of sneak through the cracks and so 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.960 it makes people question, you know, is this really the 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:53.800 solution that they're hoping for, and will this change result 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.880 in the forward progress that they're hoping for in the 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.919 same way, is this change going to reach the people 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.440 it needs to? So I think the conversations are happening 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.920 in a very millennial space, like oh, the Internet's changing 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.400 so much, and I think like under seventeen year olds 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.640 are just doing what they do normally and being like, Okay, 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.360 I didn't see that on the news because I didn't 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:14.040 read the news. 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.800 You make such a good point about the fact that 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.240 a lot of people can't step back from media. I 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.320 think something that maybe people don't consider is that we 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.480 live in media now. Previously, media was like an offshoot 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.320 of our life. For example, I studied media university as 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.000 part of my course, and it was very much different 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.600 to life. Yes, Facebook, you had to Instagram, which is 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.760 like a little companion. Whereas now we are media. We 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.680 are we are all media. We create ourselves to be consumed. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.800 Or even or The people who are impacted the most 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.400 by media is because they live on the media. 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:46.960 They live in it. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.720 They are feeding on it like bacti bacteria in a kombucha. 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:56.640 Scoby Queen Slay Scobi Scoby deal. 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:02.360 I think it's unfair for these predominantly young women because 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.920 most influencers that make a lot of money of women 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.000 are being I guess, disadvantaged by having to put it 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.200 out there because magazines don't have to and they're the 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.320 original harbors of like body insecurity. I also think it 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.280 proves that there is a misunderstanding of what body dysmorphia is. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.240 You can have all types of body dysmorphia. It's not 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.880 necessarily about being thin or like. It's not necessarily let's 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.880 say a lot of the influencers have a single ideal 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.640 that they're going for. You might have body dysmorphia that's 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.800 completely unrelated to that. Like let's say you have a 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.719 really small nose and you wish you out a really 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:36.240 big nose. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:37.160 All that women. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.199 We spoke about a couple of weeks ago who had 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.640 this deep insecurity of having a voice that was too 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:42.280 high pitched. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.360 Yes, so she got it surgically lowered. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.960 Facts crazy like this is not something that comes out 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.959 of social media. It's a mental illness. A lot of 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.439 people don't understand things like body dysmorphia. It's not a 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.040 vanity thing. It's not something that you get from looking 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.000 at an Instagram post that's clearly edited. It's something deeper 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.559 than that. I also think that we're literate about things 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.360 that are edited. I think it's quite obvious now, and 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.880 especially to the younger generation who have grown up with 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.120 photo editing and it being so easy to do, like 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.400 face tune and stuff. You can tell it from a 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.160 mile away, and I'm old, you know what I mean. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.800 Don't disclose that. Don't do that. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.720 We're going to talk about that in another segment about 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.319 millennial Internet versus gen x Internet. And I do also 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.680 wonder about you always say correlation versus causation. It's probably 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.880 interesting to talk about the hospitalizations for anorexia and other 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.800 eating disorders. I think the pandemic has played some sort 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.360 of role that we won't be aware of until a 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.640 lot later. And just because it didn't happen in twenty 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.240 twenty when it was like popping off, I know it 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.840 would have exacerbated a lot of eating disorders in Australia 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:49.760 like a crazy amount. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.600 I always think it's interesting when and where and how 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.240 big media bodies the government chooses to step in on 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:02.160 behalf of the disenfranchised, like this feels like, oh, I 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:02.559 know you. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:07.360 Guys cared like that since when? And interestingly enough, what 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.040 it takes. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.840 You know, Scandinavian countries have been touted as being quite progressive, 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.560 so it's not unusual for them, But in the UK, 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.760 I'm very surprised that this is like first cap of 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.320 the rank, like, this is what we're going to tackle. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.800 I think that a lot of the legislation in the 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.120 influencer community is so surface based and not actually tackling 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.920 the fundamental issue of the fact that we live, Like 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.480 what is being done is contrived and for the purpose 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.600 of selling stuffs, and so like, let's make it not 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.040 harder to sell stuff, but put more regulations on how 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:40.920 that's done. Because this is targeting specifically paid posts. So 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.760 then where is the brand's responsibility in hiring these people 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.120 or the clients all the agencies, Like, don't they have 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.640 a duty of care as well? Should there be instead 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.800 of having to disclose once the post has gone live? 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.360 Should there be an agreement within doing the content where 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.280 it's like, we don't accept images that have been altered 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.640 in any capacity before you even agree to sign on. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.199 Keeps making individuals the face of a broader problem. So 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.240 the next time you see one individual person disclosed that yeah, 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.240 they face you in their arm, You're like, oh, well great, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.319 that person's insecure, and now they're making me insecure, and 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.520 it's like, no, no, this is a greater issue where 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.800 we feel or where people feel as though they have 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.520 to digitally older their bodies in order to sell you 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.120 stuff to be perceived as more appealing. I often think 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.520 that you mentioned that we are literate in seeing when 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.000 things are altered or not. People always think, I face 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:31.680 you in my face. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.040 Baby just looks like this. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:34.040 It's so new. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.000 I'm like, mm hmmm, mm hmm, it is. And they're 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.880 looking for the like, oh, don't worry, it's just or 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.240 like the admission. They're like, it doesn't actually look like this. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.600 I'm like, nobody does. So it goes both ways in 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.760 the sense that somebody is waiting for me to say, like, 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.480 don't feel insecure, this is not the real meat, and 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.200 I'm like, oh, you got it wrong. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.080 You've got the wrong way. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.800 Doing with a princess apprentcess. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.520 And alternatively, you have creators like Tanamojo. I'm not sure 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.160 if you're familiar with her, but she is a YouTube 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:11.880 story time teller turned TikToker celebrity. I was saying, Tanamojo. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.000 She definitely like the Charlie Demilio Addison ray before they 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.600 were that version on YouTube. There we go, and so 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.800 she is the queen of face tune. She says it herself, 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.840 so I will not post it. Will not post an 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.080 image of myself that's not face tuned. She will if 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.680 friends are posting images of her. She was like, she says, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.720 let me take it, do my little edit, send it back. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:32.320 Amazing. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.800 And she's candid about it in a way that is 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:39.200 refreshing but also really counterintuitive. Because everything is so face tuned, 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.040 you forget that she doesn't actually look like that look 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:42.800 that way, Like I look at her and I'm like, damn, 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.680 she's like looking snatched. And then you see a video 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.520 of her You're like, oh, wait, no, she got me. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.840 I should know that. Why didn't I know that? So 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:51.280 I don't know. 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.280 I don't know if this is a solution, but I'm 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.199 interested to see what becomes of this. I feel like, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.320 if we're gonna make the industry more regulated, let's start 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.080 from like the girl, not the final product. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.760 Literally, like, get public liability insurance if you're an influencer 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.840 and this is going to come to Australia and throw 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.520 it back on the brand. We know our parameters. Yeah, 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.360 we're no our legality. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.920 Just an influencer union, that's for sure. 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.040 For real, because the media Union is incredible. If you 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.880 work in the media and you're listening to this, join 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.000 not financial or. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.760 Career advice, but just check it out. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.040 I really like this segment. FLEXI. There's more to be said. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.079 There's always more to be said, babe, but it's cool. 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.920 They're even sparking conversations. So often people spark conversations. I 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:37.240 think often about Dove no shade but their whole like 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.960 like com beautied every size eye that time they like, 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.800 I'm photoshop to that chick to show like how much 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.839 photoshop media companies do do. It's like twenty two thousand 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.520 and seven. It made this enormous like uproar about it 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.840 because it's incredible, like showing women that are a size 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.360 ten on a billboard, which actually was actually quite incredible 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:57.040 time at the time. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.959 This is flex and frooms on k I'm flex. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:08.680 I'm into beating vampires, fantasy books, talking about abstract things 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.080 and not getting to the point quickly. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.840 I'm into baking sweet treats, cupcakes and whatnot. I'm going 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.960 to bring them into the emphastics. Did savory No, I 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.960 haven't cooked. I haven't cooked a savory meal in about 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.760 three weeks. Damn. I've been eating prepackaged meals like a 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:22.360 little heathen. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:23.080 It's not like you. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.760 I like rollbaiting also haven't done that in a while, 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:33.400 and watching TV, most specifically Binge, Amazon, Yeah, etcetera. Anyway, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.040 I also have short hair right now, no currently wearing 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.760 a wig because I'm like experimenting with other styles. You 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.000 and I have a similar phenomenon that happened to us, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.400 which is when we are miss mischaracterized, mischaracterized as lesbians. Yeah, 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.800 you're not a lesbian. No, I'm not a lesbian. No, 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.520 up for discussion for now, for now. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.800 Yeah, at this point, as of August twenty twenty two, 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.880 not lesbians could change, could change. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.960 I was reading this article on Cora, which we talked 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.000 about earlier. This is like readit where you ask a 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.920 question and people give you advice, but it's frequented by 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.600 thirteen year olds, so you can find all kinds of questions. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.880 Oh really, yeah, my Cora is like sixty year olds. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.640 Mi Cora is like, how to keep your interest. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:16.920 As toys or something? 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:23.000 Toys and entertainment, I said, philosophy, I said relationship problems. 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.480 I read this question being like, what what do you 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:26.640 find attractive in a woman? 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.840 What do you not find attractive? 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:28.280 Got it? 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.600 And a lot of them were like long hair, but 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.800 teat body, toned, nice, sweet, laugh at my jokes. And 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.640 on a lot of the no lists were women with 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:44.600 short hair, and I said, my people. Then I went 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.200 on to a woman and what a woman likes in 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.080 a woman? Okay, yeah, to flip the script and see, okay, 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.720 well what are women saying? And this one woman said 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:58.560 tastes She said she likes women with short hair, and 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.400 this is her quote. Refusing to date a woman with 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.480 short hair is the male version of a woman refusing 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.680 to date a short man. So my question is whoa 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:14.320 a woman with short hair disadvantage the same as short 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:15.120 men in dating? 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.160 Do you need to call a man? Is that all 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:17.680 we need to do? 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.520 Because when I think about like short hair, I think 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.280 that's really attractive on women. I love a little short 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:29.360 bumb I do love a bald woman me too. I 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.440 wouldn't think of long hair. I think a bunch of 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.160 hairstylesfo I even got to long hair. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.480 Yeah, but I guess that's your personal style. Like you 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.400 you wear long hair, but like, yeah, your personal style 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.920 is quite quirky. I do sometimes think if I were 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.520 a man, what would I like? And I think I'd 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.720 want long hair and a woman oh, which is a 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.640 bit confusing. That is confusing. I guess the only difference 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.480 is if you've got short hair, you can usually grow it, 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.560 whereas our short kings give my heels. 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.240 Is a short man the equivalent of a woman with 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:04.320 short hair? No, no, because you can't do much disguise height. 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.200 It's just like what height you are is what height 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.360 you are, unless you're thirteen expecting a growth bert so like. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.200 But with your hair, we all knows as seen by 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.280 you today, you can transform your hair in a second. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.600 It's an afterthow do want long haired day? Short haired day? 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.840 You can present yourself in a way that is more 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.080 or less attractive depending on your hair, depending on who 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.200 you know's gonna vibe with that, haven't you that TikTok trend? 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.399 These girls will there are a few videos, but basically 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.959 these girls will talk about what kind of people they 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.840 attract based on what hair style they have. It's like 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.720 when I had shorter hair, I tracked this kind of guy, 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.400 when I wore my hair on an afro. I tracked 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.520 this kind of guy when I was blonde. I tracked 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.000 this kind of guy when I was brunette. 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:48.040 La la la. 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:48.520 Yeah. 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:49.720 Wow, it's fascinating. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:50.640 Do you see a difference. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.920 Yes and no, but it's not We can't get into 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:54.920 that right now. I want to go back to this 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.040 short short king, long hair, short hair paradigm. I don't 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.639 think they're equally yoked. I don't think they're equally discriminated either. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:07.320 I think it's like short guy, fat woman, not short guy, 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:11.040 short hair. I think it'd be long hair, short hair, 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.879 long haired guy, short haired woman's that is the same. 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:15.400 Not everyone likes long haired. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.680 Yeah, who I do, long hair, yahoo guy, short hair woman, 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.719 same short guy, fat woman, same cool. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:24.520 Yeah. 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:25.840 I'm glad we got to the bottom. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.280 Though it took me a second. I had to do 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.920 the chart in my head, but I got there. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:30.440 That's it. 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.320 I would love to know anyone who's listening's opinion if 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:34.800 you send it to us, reflects some frooms. If you've 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.800 got any other kind of paradigms on the top of 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.320 your head. I find this stuff very interesting to figure out. Ah, 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:42.280 what do I want to attract? 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.600 As you say, I feel like there was something then 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.000 this is why we allow ourselves time to unpack what 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.879 the internet tells us, because on paper makes sense short, 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.720 short yep, no wrong. If there's time to go back 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.359 and give them our updated response, I would like to 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.560 do that, but not a priority, because you know we 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:00.560 have this platform. 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.880 This is flex and frooms on Flexie. 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.240 It's not often that I say that I have a 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.240
