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.

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.
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.

Flat stomach
It looks gross

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.
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).

Average is plenty beautiful, though. At least in countries where 'average' doesn't mean 'severely over- or underweight'.

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.
