I predict that the next generation after zoomers will all looksmax with the pressure on TikTok it is to look perfect

Valuable-Marzipan761 · 2022-07-06T19:22:35+00:00

maybe, I think it's more likely we'll just see more body dysmorphia meaning more eating disorders and more teenagers taking steroids.

Lift_and_Lurk · 2022-07-06T19:05:52+00:00

I predict that TikTok will be replaced in popularity with some other social media app in a few years, only for that one to be replaced!

saint-g · 2022-07-06T20:29:12+00:00

I predict that the next generation will be destroyed by whatever weird niche issue I obsess over.

Lysa_Bell · 2022-07-06T19:11:29+00:00

It's more like how we see it with money. The rich become richer and the poor become poorer. Same thing with looks. The pretty will become prettier and the ugly will become uglier. We are driving far away from the middle on all terms

sarkington · 2022-07-06T19:17:06+00:00

Fat/chubby and unattractive people fuck just fine

Don’t believe me? Go to wal-mart

FFTzzz · 2022-07-06T22:11:18+00:00

Like millennials will have enough kids to even have much of a post zoommer generation. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Devourer_of_felines · 2022-07-06T21:05:57+00:00

Counterpoint: junk food is cheap, video game graphics are getting better every year, and it’s easier than ever just to do all your socializing through a computer screen.

renfsu · 2022-07-06T21:18:04+00:00

Having the pressure to looks max and actually doing it are completely different. People are getting more comfortable over time and will shy away from uncomfortable things more often in the future (like being physically active). Instead of not getting fat, they will instead get fat and say discrimination against fat people should be illegal.

Hoopy223 · 2022-07-06T19:10:47+00:00

Next generation will be 80% obese.

trippingfingers · 2022-07-06T19:03:42+00:00

I predict the worldview that produced words like "looksmax" will die off.

Disagree. I don’t have Tiktok, but “Tiktokers“ often look like spawns of hell. Tiktok may offer workout advice etc, but it also includes a large alternative subculture with a sizeable HAES population; which is more ingrained in progressive youth/millennial culture. I’m positive that 99% of people don’t need to starve themselves to stay out of the overweight/obese categories. Watching Tiktok may actually contribute to obesity, because people are more likely to lead a sedentary lifestyle and consume food-related content.

Tiktok doesn’t discount the possibility of lower rates of obesity among youth. Children born to overweight families are often chubby as kids, but tend to develop aversions to the lifestyles of their parents by adolescence. I’ve noticed that literally anything seems to constitute an ED nowadays. Some kids almost seem to have “munchausen by proxy” parents, who are paranoid that their child’s BMI is too low. Happened constantly with a skinny mother with a (morbidly) obese child in my area; she always sat with him while he ate, constantly suggest snacks, and make him eat more than the other kids.. it was weird.

SuspiciousArdvark · 2022-07-06T20:47:23+00:00

Part of me thinks that millennials were especially weird because they developed social skills/preferences suited for a world where the internet was not as ubiquitous then during their life times the internet really came into it's peak.

I actually suspect the coming generations will be more normal and accustomed to dealing with the evolutionarily novel stimulus of social media.

But idk who am I. Eat my dongus nerd.

StarchRunner · 2022-07-06T20:01:33+00:00

How do you figure that? Obesity is super rampant, even with the young.

Pigeon_of_the_sea · 2022-07-06T20:03:27+00:00

Nah b/c that takes a lot of hard work

NyahFriday · 2022-07-06T21:27:09+00:00

I see this blackpill wet dream thread here occasionally. How the future generations will be super blackpilled and looksmax. Not really seeing it. Everyone and their mom is already on tiktok and most people I know (all frequent users of tiktok) don't seem to give a shit about their looks. Or at least not enough.

Over_Noise3530 · 2022-07-07T03:16:14+00:00

Or they're all going to be nonbinary

WOPR-1983 · 2022-07-06T19:35:39+00:00

I fucking hate these social media apps.

Worst thing possible if you have a teenage daughter.

Now instead of comparing herself to a few popular girls at school she compares herself to every little thot on the planet showing off her body for validation points.

My daughter is fine the way she is but I have to intervene because the seeds of an eating disorder are already planted. The other day she said she looks fat and she is not at ALL fat.

I mean really. Is an emaciated woman with every tendon and vein showing really that attractive?

I guess today that's the ideal.

Bubbly_Taro · 2022-07-06T19:07:28+00:00

Or we devolve into fat slouches.

You can either dive into the world of self improvement, dominated by some fake social media profiles trying to sell you shit or run on the endorphin treadmill that is modern entertainment technology.

cespinal · 2022-07-06T19:53:14+00:00

The next generation will not use TikTok

AelfredRex · 2022-07-06T20:51:42+00:00

Or they'll go "This is stupid." and astound us all.

StarchRunner · 2022-07-06T20:07:41+00:00

u/Respiratory2MD and u/Hoopy223

Maybe our generation, but next time you’re driving home and the kids are getting out of school, take a look. Nobody is ugly.

I think you need glasses.

youarockandnothing · 2022-07-06T20:41:35+00:00

It is already happening, I work at a middle school and this past semester I could count on one hand how many students told me they were afraid of catching Covid or spreading it to others, and yet 90% of the girls were still wearing masks 4 months after the mask mandate lifted despite poor air conditioning inside the school.

Almost every student watches TikTok every day. They are extremely self conscious, even moreso than the teens of my own generation.

_Multipolar · 2022-07-06T20:46:45+00:00

TikTok won't be around in 5 years

athlete2biz · 2022-07-06T20:55:58+00:00

maybe but alot of them can just use filters, flattering angles and photoshop (for ig etc) to make themselves look better like they already do.

and yes there are filters that can be used on videos to make them look leaner

im pretty sure plastic surgery is already increasing. but so is obesity. so who knows how itll play out

but I feel like social media is going to take over instead of people using dating apps, this is already happening with instagram

indra2853 · 2022-07-06T21:18:54+00:00

It is not that simple because at the same time, all these body acceptance influencers are also getting a lot of attentions. Even if it is not from the opposite sex, plus size girls still feel some sort of validation by following these influencers. It's not like the west is gonna be as harsh as South Korea with their beauty standards. You need to look at the other sides of TikTok, where unnatractive and unhealthy people are patting themselves on the back, and apparently it works for them.

delight-n-angers · 2022-07-06T22:55:59+00:00

If your 4-yr old is on TikTok, there's WAY bigger problems than looks being important. Looks have always been important to success. Seriously, google the discrimination that overweight/unattractive people face in hiring and medical care. This isn't any different.

I have a 4yr old and I'm not teaching him that looks are everything. Nor does he have access to TikTok.

The9thElement · 2022-07-07T00:00:37+00:00

Lol tumblr was a thing, Instagram has been a thing. Nothing we are seeing on tiktok is new. Next generation will be fine.

Time_Animaal · 2022-07-07T00:46:10+00:00

I'm sort of, of the mind that young girls already look better than my generation because of this, but I could be wrong there as I'm not around young girls that much.

Still peaking I guess, but only goes to 2018 and I'd like to see it broken down by race and sex. With so many kids latinos, and latinos the highest BMI demographic, I wonder if that's pushing it up a little too.

With men being less active I bet the growth is more there than women. And I wonder if there's a bimodal distribution where some are on top of it and others are just rotting

stoneymightknow · 2022-07-07T01:59:51+00:00

I really don't think this will matter nearly as much as you think. Media has been prolific for several generations now.

figuringMylife · 2022-07-07T03:28:29+00:00

is this Uglies?

hopeidontforget2021 · 2022-07-07T06:33:44+00:00

What I'm seeing is a bigger separation.

The majority are uglier than ever and the top 20% are working harder than ever into putting effort into their appearance. My friend made a point that the top 20% are hotter than the top 20% were when we were younger, but the other 80% is so much worse..

MegaGigaTeraBased · 2022-07-07T06:38:44+00:00

I disagree. I think what really will happen is a lot of people will just give up and give up on dating, rather than putting so much time and effort into becoming attractive.

Also, as naive and optimistic as this sounds, I do believe that the concept of lookism/looks discrimination will soon become widespread in mainstream society, and eventually it may be viewed similar to racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination.

The_Meep_Lord · 2022-07-07T12:28:23+00:00

I predicted that the pressures put on people, selfishness and apathy will cause things to start to break down with a dating “bubble burst.”

kokorwqac · 2022-07-07T13:34:04+00:00

highly doubt men are going to looksmaxx besides gymcelling

SwimmingTheme3736 · 2022-07-07T14:02:05+00:00

My 4 year old just looks at dogs on tictok

ruboyuri · 2022-07-07T16:02:32+00:00

That is not what the data indicates

Smitten_Squire · 2022-07-07T19:24:58+00:00

Na, the obesity rates for kids is up lol
