What's one beauty standard that you don't agree with?

Filler and injections.

Not a beauty standard per se, but I don’t like tattoos one bit.
It used to be “rebellious” to have a tattoo, but nowadays it seems like everyone has one - so maybe the truly rebellious thing now is not having them.
I don't think tattoos have been about rebellion in a long time. It's just art for your body.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]When they're done badly, it's very noticeable and terrible. When they aren't done, it's fine. Not everybody is looking for curves and puffy lips. Presumably, there's a bunch of successful injections you never notice, but on the balance that's not a very good record.

Depends on your background. If you're from a Jewish or Muslim family pearls will be clutched.

My favorite people, and probably yours too are not 10/10 hotties. The people I want to spend time with are funny and kind.
Chasing 'beauty standards', I feel, is a waste of your human potential. That time can be better used building friendships and community. Isn't that what most people really want?
If people focused their time there instead, maybe they would feel more accepted, confident and worthy instead of trying to shortcut their way to perceived success by altering their bodies. I find it sad that the digital age has pushed humanity so deeply in to 'comparative society'.
Confidence is the hottest most attractive thing to me in the end.
It can go too far in the opposite direction, though. I was raised in an environment where men doing literally anything besides showering a bit was gay.

Tabs over spaces, always
... wait, you're asking in asklemmy, not programming...
Uhhh... that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc
Tabs were literally designed for indenting, as far as I can tell.

Beards. I never understood why some women find it so sexy. But I am okay with people having different tastes. What is icky is that some women have made such a huge deal about them that it gets borderline unfair for men who don’t want to bother with grooming or those who cannot grow a full beard.

TIL that's a thing. Beard culture mostly feels like men competing against and/or encouraging other men. And old ladies are pretty direct about fucking hating them.

Do you mean styling baby hairs?
Yes! Thats it!

thanks to all the men in the comments providing women with a free incel blocklist. your opinion may be useless, but at least no one appreciates you.
Lol you're catching some votes but we've strayed from what OP was asking.
OP asking about beauty standards and people are straight up saying shit like "overalls" and "big boobs".
Not bad opinions on their own but far from beauty standards

How dehydrated does a person have to be before they start absorbing water through the skin?
I'm going to guess literally dead. Human skin isn't very permeable, by design.

What always disturbs me, and it seems worryingly prevalent on The Apprentice, is drawn-on eyebrows.
On the one hand, it does look weird up close, or if done poorly. On the other I can see the potential in being able to have whatever kind of eyebrows you want to go with your look.

I agree. Then again, I'm a certified lesbian.
Where can one get certified? Asking for a friend.
-
Septum rings. They just remind me of cows.
Yep, although I'm getting used to them over time. It still seems to be confined to people who are very "alt".
-
Long hair.
Shorter is better.
Do-ups and buns and things are nice, too. The history of using them for modesty tells me that's a minority opinion.

Many women, especially Instagram scrollers cannot stop raving about beards.

Beards are one of those things that are at least natural and have uses beyond beauty standards (e.g. some men have sensitive skin that easily gets irritated by shaving, and it protects the skin from sunlight, cold and drying out). If you don't go all out styling it or having it impractically long, a trimmed beard is less effort than a clean shave (at least for men who have to shave daily to maintain the clean look).
Yes but the women in question expect a full, thick and groomed beard, not just maintained.
-
My SO would never let me shave mine. It's also a good way to immediately change my appereance/look 10 years younger if I ever want/need to.
Yeah, I look like a teenager without a beard. I look like a father of a teenager with one lol.

People speculate that this is one of the reasons why those most opposed to weight loss medications like Ozempic are, in fact, fit people. In a world where most people around you are obese or unhealthy, being fit becomes a way to signal discipline, long-term planning, a healthy lifestyle, competence, and so on. But now that you can get lean without putting in the effort, it dilutes that signal.
Really? I’ve never heard that sentiment from any of my other fit friends and I certainly don’t feel that way. I would love it if everyone was just hot.
-
Yes! Thats it!
I also hate those.

Not everyone is beautiful. Most people are average and many are not attractive.
Obesity is not beautiful. It is unhealthy and honestly delusional.
Edit: Most people are thinking of this when mentioning obesity.

Not this.

Complaining about the BMI scale is a disservice to those who truly need to lose weight for their health.
Hard agree. I am so willing to die on this hill.
