      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.

              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.

                  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.

                  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.

                            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.

                            Complaining about the BMI scale is a disservice to those who truly need to lose weight for their health.

                              I don't think tattoos have been about rebellion in a long time. It's just art for your body.

                              Yeah but it used to be. Even Kat Von D is blacking out her tattoos so that it would be more provocative again which is how she likes it.

                                I would’ve said the tanning obsession, for health reasons, but that’s changed over the years.

                                  The whole fat acceptance movement is honestly gross AF.

                                  I don't care how happy you are about it. This shit is not healthy and we shouldn't be promoting it.

                                    Yeah but I think it'll just be a more explicit marker of wealth instead, sort of how so much of fashion boils down to "how much are you willing to spend?"
