Direct to camera dating hot take from @maxmanticof_

The creator speaks directly to the camera to deliver a piece of controversial dating advice. He states that when dating an attractive person, one should ensure they were not always attractive, suggesting they should have previously been "ugly, short, or fat." He justifies this by claiming that people who have always been attractive are "mean," whereas those who have "glowed up" have developed a personality.

Transcript excerpt

If you're gonna date someone who's hot, make sure they used to be ugly, short, or fat. You can't get a lifetime hot person. It'll never work. They're mean. You don't know how the other side looks. People who glowed up, they have personality.
