Transcripts

hi everyone welcome back to my channel

if you're new here I'm Courtney Ryan and

today we are reacting to a Tik Tok so

we're going to watch it together

reconvene and I will tell you what I

think the little question box on the

video says what do you think is

attractive about a boy's appearance um

and the video focuses on things that

don't actually alter your appearance but

make you come across hotter anyways now

before we get started I do also want to

say regardless of if I agree with her or

not I do think it's helpful to hear some

other girls perspectives that are not my

own necessarily because not every girl

thinks the way that I do or is attracted

to what I'm attracted to or caters to

the same age demographic necessarily you

know it can be nice to hear some other

opinions I'm also going to throw in some

of my own ideas at the end of the video

so be sure to stick around for that if

you're a guy and you're like a six and

you want to automatically get to a 10

then do these things also just an FYI

these things are not actually changing

your appearance but they're going to

make girls think you're hotter anyway so

let's get right into it number one wear

a backwards hat you know that Tik Tok

sounds it's

like that's us when you guys wear

backwards hats like just go do it I'm

going to make some comments after each

point to make sure that we're still on

the same page saying these things will

take you from a six to a 10 is obviously

emphatic um instead for engagement

purposes so I wouldn't take that too

seriously if you're a viewer also I have

to say this girl looked so familiar and

I thought to myself where have I've seen

her before and turns out a few years ago

I actually reacted to one of her toxic

advice videos that she had posted I mean

she has 6 million followers on Tik Tok

so clearly people are into what she's

doing so anyway the first one is wear a

backwards baseball hat this one just

continues to haunt me it is everywhere

in every single list that I react to now

if you've seen any of my videos

discussing this you probably already

know my thoughts but just to give the

little cliffnotes version here I am

personally not really a fan of the

backwards baseball hat but I do

recognize that I am really in the

minority here like I get it you know to

me it just gives off a sort of f boy

type Vibe which is just not my type at

all just to be transparent not my type

but I imagine that's why so many other

women like it so I mean if you are a

very inshape attractive guy and you

throw on a backwards baseball hat it's

probably not going to make you any less

attractive if anything it's going to

make most girls think that you're more

attractive but again this is one of

those things where if a woman finds you

unattractive I don't necessarily think

that just throwing on a backwards

baseball hat is going to all of the

sudden like make her change her mind

about you so I think that's something

important to keep in mind as well I

think some of these things can make a

man more attractive if a woman already

finds you at least somewhat attractive

so let's continue okay number two can

you guys wear a

chain please literally marry me I need

you biblically it is so attractive and

it makes a girl's mind wonder she said

it makes a girl's mind wander and we're

going to be a little spicy here for a

second while I explain what she means by

this just to make sure that everyone is

understanding there was a sort of trend

or big thing happening on Tik Tok a few

years ago of girls talking about how

when a guy wears a chain it makes them

picture the chain hanging down on them

during a certain

activity I'm going to let you take that

as you will but I just wanted to explain

what she meant by makes our mind

wander okay now I actually included a

chain and one of my sexiest things that

men wear video according to women which

I actually believe is my most post

viewed video here on YouTube um and the

reason why I included it is because I

asked my female audience over on

Instagram for submissions and this was

one of the most submitted responses at

the time of filming that video I think

this was a couple of years ago again

this is one that I'm really not as much

a fan of but many girls do like this

perhaps age demographic also comes into

play here as well I think this girl

makes videos specifically for teens and

younger men I'd say early 20s I can't

necessarily say that a backwards hat and

a chain would be perceived the same way

if if you're 22 years old versus 42

years old for example so that's

definitely something to keep in mind I

don't know how old this girl is she

looks very young in my opinion I'm 28

for reference she looks like she's maybe

22 23 I could be totally wrong but even

an age difference from early 20s to late

20s can drastically change what a woman

is attracted to and interested in so

again just something to keep in mind I

do think the age demographic thus far in

this list is definitely a factor okay

number three this is really Niche but

when a guy wears a hoodie and he ties

the strings up this is delicious we need

this we love this like I said it's

really Niche but not a lot of guys do it

it's so hot a hoodie with the strings

tied

up huh I have legitimately never heard

this before again I think age

demographic is absolutely a factor here

I don't get it I don't get it I'm going

to Google guy wearing hoodie with the

string

tied I could see the little hoodie with

the tied up strings being attractive to

a woman who is into more of a very

laid-back Style on a guy maybe more

street style a guy who wears hoodies and

maybe bag your clothing um who's really

into sneakers or baseball hats chains

like I'm just picturing a very specific

type of guy when I think about a hoodie

and then a hoodie with the strings tied

just from looking at these pictures like

they're all very Street Style guy on Tik

Tok who is attra

active typee Vibe oh here's a picture of

Tom Brady wearing a hoodie with the

strings tied up was Tom Brady a transend

hitter here did people start doing it

after they saw him do it or did he maybe

copy one of his sons I don't know was he

inspired yeah I'm not really

understanding this one as much maybe if

anything it could make you look more

intentional like you put a little bit of

extra effort in by tying the strings

don't know okay and the last one here

last but not least when a guy reads for

fun if I saw a guy reading a book on the

spot right here right now i' marry him

okay let me know if you want a part two

because I could make a million of

these I now am understanding why she has

6 million followers there actually used

to be this Instagram account and I don't

know if it still exists or not I'll

check on my phone during this video um

but it was dedicated to hot guys reading

books it was legitimately just full of

pictures of guys reading in public on

the bus on the train on the subway in

New York at a cafe I mean it was just

strictly dedicated to photos of men in

the wild reading books because I do

think it is something that women find

very attractive and I agree okay let's

look up hot dudes hot dudes hot dudes

reading the captions are typically a

little bit spicy um but it it's a whole

Instagram account here dedicated to hot

dudes reading there's also one hot dudes

with

dogs because again that's something that

women find attractive I would add that

into

um My Little section here a guy with an

animal a guy with a dog or a cat for me

it's a cat because I'm a cat lady but

either one I love dogs too but yeah I

think this one is absolutely true I

think reading is just one of those

things that is associated with

intelligence it just makes you come

across as a guy who likes to learn which

women find attractive I'll even add here

when I watch my husband read a book it

does something to my brain

chemistry love it in the beginning of

the video I mentioned that I'll give you

guys a few of my own here at the end one

would be as I mentioned a guy with an

animal I would say a dog or a cat this

just does something to a woman's brain

it makes you look kind and compassionate

and caring I think a guy who is a dog

dad or cat dad also signals to us that

you can take care of something aside

from yourself which is sexy another

would be a watch I think a watch is far

superior to a chain and legitimately

every single way but my husband has a

watch business so I understand that I

might be a little bit biased but I just

think it makes a man look masculine and

mature and punctual a man who's not

going to be late instantly hotter in my

opinion best accessory for a man without

a doubt and I stand by that the next one

I would add in would be rolled up

sleeves which you have absolutely heard

me talk about before this is just going

to show us a little bit of your forearm

and highlight the vascularity in your

arm which women love it's showing us how

strong you are we love that this plus

the watch lethal combo next would be a

calm demeanor I think a guy who has a

calm demeanor is so attractive to women

because it makes us feel safe and secure

and comfortable around you it's no

surprise that the guy who is cool calm

and collected is attractive to women so

nothing groundbreaking here the last

little thing I would add in here would

be good posture body language is

something that is incredibly powerful in

terms of Attraction I think it's going

to make you look more confident makes

you look healthy and taller pretty

self-explanatory if you're a guy who's

walking around slouched all the time you

are doing yourself a huge disservice

this is something that I have to keep

reminding myself of too anytime I

mention it in a video I always sit up a

little bit taller because it's just

something that you have to remind

yourself of right you are just going to

look more attractive if you are sitting

up straight versus slouching and that's

facts I've actually done an entire video

about posture if you're interested in

more of the details go watch that on my

channel but all right guys that's all I

have for this reaction video I will say

this video clip from her is way less

toxic than the one that I reacted to a

couple of years ago so Bravo I don't

know what her other content looks like

but like I said she has 6 million

followers so clearly people are liking

what she's doing so we can't knock that

right again I like reacting to videos

like this from time to time just because

it's nice to hear the perspective of

another woman get some other opinions on

here the point of my channel is to offer

a woman's perspective so I like to do

this sometimes via reaction videos and

just see what you guys think let me know

some other things down in the comments

that you think make a man more

attractive I would love to know some

things that you've maybe done that have

gotten a positive reaction from women

let me know down in the comments if you

haven't already be sure to follow me

over on Instagram at Courtney Christine

Ryan I love connecting with all of you

guys over on there as well and if you

ever have a video you want me to react

to tag me in the comment section

specifically on Tik Tok that's the

easiest way for me to see it sometimes

my DMs get a little bit flooded and I

might miss it so just tagging me down in

the comments is the easiest way to go

but as always thank you all so much for

watching and I will see you all next

time
