What's one beauty standard that you don't agree with?
-
You are probably looking at fat asses and not big asses
Nah, I really like em on the skinny side.

I am also not attracted to asses. I am bi, so it is very weird to not be.

Fake eye lashes. Holy God do they look stupid but somehow are so normalized. No idea how some women find the courage to walk outside with what look to me like Muppet eyes.
For the love of God ladies, tone it down. Your eyes are beautiful as they are! Mascara is one thing, but if I feel a fucking breeze every time you blink, it’s gone too far.

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.

The =>6 ft tall obsession for males. Not one inch less.

Ultra low body fat, e.g. high fashion models, bodybuilders. You don't see it that much in real life, but it's pretty heavily promoted in media. Plus the dehydration thing for bodybuilders, I hate that 'saran wrap' look.
This is the worst. So damaging to the overall health of everyone.

I've always disliked plastic surgery, botox and heavy makeup. But that's normal enough
My real hot take is I am disgusted by long, fake nails. They make my skin crawl. They're so cumbersome, I truly don't understand how people love with them
Edit: Thread is locked; it somewhat spiraled from what I originally envisioned for the discussion. Just wanted to dump by thoughts in this edit.
I created the thread from a perspective more of pointing out things people do to their bodies in the name of "fashion" or "beauty" that are invasive, cumbersome, or unnecessary, when people should be proud of the bodies they have. Some took this in the same light but others didn't.
I would have liked to have a whole discussion about it, communicate my perspective a little more clearly, but by the time I came back after work to view the monster I'd created, the thread was locked. It's a shame that we couldn't have a more mature and nuanced discussion about what it means to follow a beauty trend to everyone, but I suppose it's better that rhetoric not escalate
You and me on both counts dude, fuuuuuu—
So disgusting. And it looks sooo fake, like they don't even make an effort to look real. They are thick as a bear claw bruh, looks like some fungus growing under them talons, Jesus. Get that nasty shit out of here.

Overly full lips. There's a bandwidth there where it should fit the rest of the facial features. Filling them up with collagen just almost never looks good.
Rarely even a little bit looks good. You can just tell immediately.

Long hair.
Shorter is better.
That's a hot take, ngl.

You have it backwards. As with all things beauty, it isn't about having the courage to do it - doing it gives you courage and confidence.

I'd even go so far as to say obesity is unattractive, because it's unhealthy.
Healthy is of course beautiful.

How dehydrated does a person have to be before they start absorbing water through the skin?

Septum rings. They just remind me of cows.

I've never dated a woman wearing false nails. The same with botox.
Also, I'm not seduced by make-up. Contrary to false nails, I don't mind it, I find it useless. I like to look at actual people, and I may even feel attracted to some of them. I'm not interested as much in looking at the fantasized image people may have of themselves.
I'm also not obsessed with a person looking young, meaning I don't mind grey hair and wrinkles. Why would I? I do wear my own wrinkles with no worries, alongside those (short) grey hair I would have on top of my own big head if I was not completely bald.
Not considering the body itself, there is a 'sexy' thing that always left me wondering what was so hot about them: high heels.
I mean, I get it they help shape the legs. But they're also quite obviously less stable to walk with and they seem rather uncomfortable to wear for hours. I would tend to favor the company of a woman able to go out for a long walk with me, be it in nature somewhere or to visit some art gallery or museum in town.
