What Model Scouts ACTUALLY Look For

[xoxoamazingful]

People say "the industry is changing" but just because Old Navy has diverse sizes of models doesn't mean Chanel ever will. The current inclusivity is just marketing imo

"Is he gonna be in high fashion? No." :(
"Is he gonna be in the ad when you walk into home depot and he's the guy who's loading up the big truck? Absolutely." :D

The fact is: most people wish they were models because they need “professional” validation of attractiveness. Not because they dream of being in a nasty, short-term, ungrateful industry.

The scout was just saying what he needed in order to not be hated by the internet. He is a salesman. He was able to tell someone they're a 4/10 without making them feel worthless. That's a talent.

i'm sure that his pandering isnt meant to be purely manipulative. when you are recruiting, you meet a lot of people and some of them can make a scene if being rejected, so you need to deliver bad news in most sugar-coated way just so you dont have problems, because no company wants that.

People should know the difference between personal attraction and industry attraction, most people would rate someone’s attraction higher than the industry’s standards so maybe the question is too broad when people rate each other based on attraction

If this video made you feel bad about your appearance, please understand the distinction between marketability and attractiveness. Look at how a famous singer wears an outfit vs. the runway model. When the singer wears the outfit, you see the singer. When the model wears the outfit, you see the outfit. That’s marketability.

Maybe the Asian guy is a 7/10 in terms of modelling (which to me is baffling) but he's easily a 9/10 in terms of general attraction and was the best out of any person shown in that video.

I love how straight up you are.
There is not enough honesty on social media so your whole channel is a real breath of fresh air!

Thank you for understanding that “fun sized” really is demeaning to ADULT short people. I’m 5’1” and 55… with a mastery of my craft, BUT I still find myself having to remind people that I’m not a child. Infuriating
My son, however HAS been scouted many times…he’s stunning, skinny and has a quirky style. BUT…he wants to be a serious filmmaker. So, he does film and tv gig work (and goes to university). Mamma proud 👩🏻‍🎤

The industry isn’t changing any time soon so I suggest that people that don’t fit the “model” standard move on. It’s the best thing to do for your own sanity

These reviews are interesting because it’s clear that the rating system that the narrator is operating off of is different from the person rating in the original video. These type of cut/jubilee videos are purely for entertainment purposes, not education lol

[ZeinaIan]

As a someone who is 4'11 I hate the term fun-sized, it's already hard enough to be taken seriously at my height I don't need terms that make me sound like a child attributed to me.

[dianapavlikova]

I feel like he was kinda awkwardly polite. I mean, it's different for general attractiveness rating, but for being rated for modeling? People usually understand pretty well that they are not what the industry wants. Being bluntly told that im ugly would hurt, but i would have no problem being told that im not someone who would make it in modeling in the same way. I'm too short, wrong body type, a lot of skin imperfections...like yeah, i know im not fit for modeling. No need to sugarcoat it

[donwade]

You pointed out the difference between industry attraction and personal attraction. The Asian guy is (imo) personally attractive than pajama pants guy. I see how pajamapants is a better fit on the runway but I found the Asian guy more attractive. And maybe the scout did as well, hence the kinda flirty reaction. Understanding social/interpersonal dynamics isn't your forte tbh, but I'm sure you're aware of that. Thanks for the very insightful and well researched beauty content!

[puccarts]

As someone who is 4'11" I absolutely hate when people say that modelling has become "all inclusive" when in reality they won't choose someone below 5'6".. pandering indeed!

[angusmarch]

Genuine question. If the only criteria the designer is looking for is height and build, then why is facial attractiveness so stressed in the industry? Why isnt it just full of tall, well built uggos?

[MissCvntfidence]

Why are people SO DELUSIONAL about their looks? I've accepted I'll never be a model and that's ok. I've accepted I'm average and I'm actually thankful I'm not below average. As a girl, this whole "beauty thing" gets so exausting because you often get multiple female friends trying to achieve the "insta look" when they're just too chubby, too short or too plain in the face. Any time I'm like "Yo girl i'm so ugly lmao" they're always like "oh no baby you're so pretty" ...no the hell I'm not. I've witnessed a copious amount of friends getting upset over outfits and makeup looks which didn't look as good on them as they did on the models. If some trend just doesn't look good on me I just laugh and go on with my life. I'm just so tired of walking on eggshells when it comes to these topics.

This model scout quickly figured out the situation. Of course, he didn't intend to do his job in this video, he really found interesting features in every person introduced to him and called everyone attractive. His profession simply added spice to this process. Do you find irony here?

[alexbush]

I am a 4'11 female. I've had some people try to do the whole "funsized" thing on me and it's just...What are you doing? We're not in middle school. It's okay man. I'm short. I've been short all my life. It literally doesn't matter. Just call me short. Stop being weird. I'm not a 7 year old.
