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

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

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.

Thinned eyebrows, I love a good thick eyebrow.

Long hair.
Shorter is better.

Same on both of those!

Yes to all of these.

What always disturbs me, and it seems worryingly prevalent on The Apprentice, is drawn-on eyebrows.

Mmm, bushy.

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.

Thick butts. No thank you. A little bump is nice, but most of what's out there is gross, and with a surface resembling asteroid impact craters.

Very carefully.

You are probably looking at fat asses and not big asses

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.

Plastic cosmetic surgery. It’s one thing if it is wanting to repair damage (injury, illness, etc), but just getting it to change your nose, breasts, whatever, or as a shortcut for hard work (think liposuction) I don’t understand at all.

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.
