A fellow who was a sketch artist for San Jose PD is asked to blind sketch a person based on their own self description.
Then a group of people are introduced to the woman and they are given an opportunity to describe the woman in another blind sketch.
The two images couldn't be more divorced from each other and illustrate that we pick on ourselves way too much and concentrate on things that are:
Not real Not important and that our attitudes about ourselves, the secret attitude, isn't what the rest of pick up on.
Take 3 minutes and then reflect.
Proves that beauty emanates from within.
As a piece of visual art that Dove ad totally blew me away. I was mesmerized when it was about the artist asking for self descriptive terms and then it keeps unfolding.
I regard this Dove ad as THE BEST, MOST BRILLIANT ad I have seen in my whole life. The spare setting, featuring a person of extraordinary talent, the striking comparisons, leading to a simple insight.
I’m still in awe over this ad.

He isn't into error or mistakes.
I hate to speak for Him but I will...He does good work and you are beautiful to Him.
And what else matters but how we appear to Him.
To Him we are so beautiful...don't forget...He went to the Cross for just you and me.
Imagine how beautiful the face of a cat is...then multiply that by a thousand!
That's how beautiful you are!
"No way...I am not beautiful...
"Oh yes...you are..."
Wonderful exercise of the brain.
And sorry, but if you think women are their own worst critics, you must not spend a lot of time on FreeRepublic's forums.
Really neat. I loved it. Thanks for sharing.
I liked it.
I am almost seventy years old. Growing up my sister was considered the pretty one while I was thought to be the smart one.
As a fourteen year old I remember my dad commenting, "Don't worry so much about how you look, being smart is better than being good-looking any day." Sadly I assumed that my father did not think I was pretty.
So again Vendome, thank you for posting this Dove video.
My issues with this experiment.... It’s a police sketch artist, so both sketches end up making the subject look like a perp.
Most people, that includes men, would never go out of their way to compliment themselves as part of a description, when speaking to someone they don’t know. It would seem boisterous.
Likewise, if you are speaking about someone else to a third party, you are more likely to be complimentary because it makes you seem nicer.
It’s a very unrealistic portrayal, particularly since there are other studies that find people are usually surprised as to how much worse they look in photos, because they have inflated images of themselves stored.
I am not a fan of these real beauty spots in general lol If I want to see a regular looking person, I can look in the mirror. In fact, I prefer beauty products that feature a ridiculously good looking person, that cause me to fantasize about possibly looking that good after using “said” product.
These dove campaigns are preying on perceived and imagined insecurities, once again its a woman as victim model.
we don’t need more self-esteem crap
No...it proves the woman is stupid...
