Reminder for those that comment that hate and rude comments are against the community’s rules
Frankly this whole thread is kind of fucked dude
Yea. There is “having personal tastes” but a lot of these comments are just straight up judgmental of other people’s choices of personal expression and using this post as an excuse to espouse some pretty harmful rhetoric.
I don’t like big boobs almost ever.
I inherently detest the concept of a “beauty standard”. Something so subjective to each individual experience as “beauty” shouldn’t have a standard, and a mentality or social culture that tries to establish or reinforce them is something I believe to be highly problematic.
Like in this very post, all the people who are admonishing body modification (injections, implants, piercings, tattoos, etc…). That has been a thing humans have done since ancient times. It is just a form of personal expression, there is nothing inherently wrong with the practice itself. It is the social expectations that makes those things appear uncomfortable at first glance instead of just a different but equally valid form of personal expression. A lot of the comments around them are very judgmental of the assumed reasons behind doing it, though, and it is because of societal “beauty standards” that people behave and think this way.
Most of them, but by far makeup.
If someone enjoys it and wants to, I don’t judge.
But I seriously never saw a person who looks better with makeup. Even light makeup ( which can look good) still looks worse than just natural.
Also there is this vicious cycle where heavy makeup users have worse skin and more pimples so they feel pressure to but heavier makeup, which in turn worsens the skin condition.
People, be happy, love yourself, you are pretty for who you are.
Calling anything about beauty a standard.
Obviously fake anything. Boobs. Lips. Butt.
Trying too hard in general. Just be you.
I get we’re not perfect and we all have insecurities. Why are they called love handles? But people are just people. We’re all human.
I can’t think of a single beauty standard I do like. Everyone is beautiful in some way. Even the people who are regarded as ugly by the majority.
I like how the standard has fractured and there isn’t really a standard now, but I do also kind of like the obviously fake bodies being the standard because an insistence on natural beauty is more oppressive than the idea of beauty as something you do, an art or achievement, even a purchase.
If beauty like that is something you choose, I am free to choose it or not. If it’s just by luck of birth, that sucks so bad. When I was a gawky tall stick insect of a teenager and the only girls considered pretty were the short and stacked, there was no way to meet that standard.
Later the tide shifted but as I didn’t grow up feeling my body could ever be mainstream sexy, I didn’t get attached to that - I do have hangups but they are my own. I just try to stay in shape, have good hair, take care of my skin and let the rest be.
But I think my unpopular opinion is beauty as something you do - makeup, style, fitness, is more democratic than insistence on symmetry of features or a particular height or build, the idea of “natural beauty” is worse. Beauty should be a choice, a hobby, a project, do or not.
In terms of what I do not currently understand, it’s the moustaches. Young men with weedy little moustaches, straight men with moustaches that scream gay to me, the unopposed highway patrol/1980s gay man moustache I can’t wait for that trend to pass.
This post is gross af
I dislike most artificial “enhancements” to boost your attractiveness.
Things like fake lashes, hair extensions, fake nails, breast implants, BBLs, lip injections, botox, and so on. This also extends for me to things like overly excessive tattoos, piercing, and makeup.
I personally like people who look and feel real. I don’t want to date a mannequin. It’s a okay to have flaws, nobody is perfect. Your flaws are a part of your charm.
Mowed lawns. Just let it grow, it’s easier and healthier.
This is literal and an innuendo.
Pure white teeth. I prefer ivory shades- not yellow, just the natural ivory. I’ve had salespeople approach me offering teeth whitening products and it terrifies me.
Makeup
Filler and injections.
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 you never notice, but on the balance that’s not a very good record.
Overalls. Can’t handle em
How are overalls beauty standard 🤣🤣🤣
Edit: Also, I think Karen Allen wore overalls at least once in Indiana Jones. Kinda hot, in an unpolished way.
Those are coveralls. Or a jumpsuit, depending.
These are overalls:
Where in the world are overalls the hottest thing?
Big boobs.
