JC and the boys don't really mean for their videos to be taken seriously. I understand where that's coming from though.

But still! Women are still going to see this then the ones who idolize them are going to be influenced, I mean JB cutting story? The trolls influenced his fans! And now look!
Idk I think to a point Hank is right, but at the same time people can have preferences. And I have seen so many videos of what guys want in girls and they weren't taken so seriously. Girls have done them too. I did watch this video and I personally wasn't offended at all. Idk I just think maybe some people got a little too butthurt over this, like I said I do agree with Hanks points but I feel like it all was taken too seriously.

Or u think they're hot like thousands of girls do and just don't want to agree fully because u have this crush that won't be fulfilled.
The thing that irked me was that the title was "what guys look for in girls". And it was mostly what their views were. Sorta thinking they were implying that all boys think that way. I don't know maybe it's just me.
Personally, I think if women have to shave their underarms, men should too. I don't want to hug a guy and feel sweaty under arm hair grazing over my shoulder.
I would never shave my arm hair. I do shave my armpits, however. Because I personally feel disgusting if they aren't shaved. It really comes down to personal preference.
#soccerch1ck If you hug a guy and his arm hair is sweaty, he probably doesn't shower more than maybe once a week. I've never had sweaty/greasy hair other than on the top of my head, and that's gotten a lot better now that I shower every day.
Hair should never be sweaty/greasy (the hair on your head is a little more tolerable, but it's still gross). If it is, the person in question doesn't shower enough, and probably has more problems related to hygiene than simple sweat/grease.
Lol, thank you Doctor Oz XD
Sorry, I don't really know much about guy stuff or hugging.... but thank you for this information, i'll keep it in mind when I do hug someone with sweaty/greasy under arm hair.
I saw this video ( I am a fan of all 3 boys ) and all lot of girls did get mad after watching this video because they thought they weren't perfect enough for them and they were getting a lot of hate. Some of the things they said were completely dumb, like Nash, middle, said he didn't want to feel any hair on a girl when he was hugging her or anything. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. But yeah, I completely agree with Hank Green.

I like nash griers vines in the comedy section etc, but I extremely dislike him as a person. He's sexist and demanding! You go greens!
I honestly believe that they could have been a bit more considerate and careful with what they were saying. I understand Nash and Cameron are new to the whole "thousands of people look up to you and you need to be wise with what you say" but JC at least should know better. He's been making videos for a couple of years now. He could've given them some insight and advice on what it would be like. Also the fact that Nash claimed that he spoke about girls being true to themselves and whatnot is just absurd. They did in fact say "be true to yourself" for like 15 seconds then went on to complain about the whole hair thing. And the fact that they said "entertain me" was just ridiculous and in saying "you can't be better than me" they are making girls believe that they need to be submissive in a relationship.
Honestly, girls take this video and analyze it to try and see what they can do to satisfy boys and that's just not right. Our purpose is not to please you.
This is my favorite comment on this video, I'm a 19 year old girl, but if I saw this when I was in highschool (I watched this video before seeing this post) I would have taken it all to heart. Too many teenage girls look at a video like this and want to change, and it absolutely breaks my heart for a girl to look at herself in the mirror and not like what she sees because some male idol told them they weren't enough how they are.
Honestly i dont think that shaving under the arms is abusive because as a girl i hate it when anyone else boy or girl has underarm hair because it is gross and gives you bad bo but i didnt watch the video so i dont know what else they said
I believe what Hank is saying is correct on some level but in some ways this type of video is actually beneficial. Being a teenage girl going into the world of dating can be terrifying as it is for boys. When these boys - who are not bad looking - express aspects they like, young girls will hear one attribute that relates to them. This then gives the young women hope that they will find a boy. I am not saying women should become what a man expects. I think instead of looking at these videos in so much depth look at how they might help. Not everyone's intentions are to make people feel bad and we need to start viewing our world this way.
I down voted this comment because it said its beneficial to teenage girls. Trust me, I have 2 teen girls living in my house (including me) and it doesn't benefit us in anyway. This video is stupid and I don't think girls should shave their arms because guys want them to, girls should shave their arms if they want to. I don't think every girl should have to try to look like Kim kardshian to get a guy to like her and think she's attractive. I see what these guys meant but it when a girl comes across a video like this she gets really low self confidence (depends what girl). If I came across a video like this I wouldn't watch it because I don't care about my looks anymore, but many girls have low self confidence and I think it's videos like these that make them feel ugly.
I am in complete agreement with you on women doing what they want. I just am saying from personal expiriences that sometimes if you hear something positive it gives you a sense of hope. I did not once say girls should change themselves to be what these boys said. Big instead stated what a positive could be. I also clearly stated that I do not believe in women changing for men.
I'm in the same shoes as lonley.... I'm 16..... my sister is 13... I did not like this video. I personally don't care about appearances... but this is awful to watch. They're being hypocrites. "Be yourself but change for me" -_-

I downvoted bev's comment because girls should not come into the dating world thinking they have to change for a guy. No. I'm 16. Never dated. And I'm happier being single and myself than being in a relationship but fake
