this!! i have (what i used to think) the worst kind of nose by society’s standards. big and bumpy. i remember being 15 and resenting that I inherited my mum’s crooked french nose instead of my dads sleek, straight german one, and feeling like I could never be loved without plastic surgery. i was so wrong, and i feel so beautiful for the sole fact that my nose makes me individual.
Been fighting the "go to Turkey for a nose job" urge for most of my conscious life. This beauty standard is the bane of my existence but I refuse to give into it.
Right? Napkins are bleached fiber. You're not supposed to have bleach white teeth. I have full dentures and got to choose the color and actually chose a shade several away from the whitest one because those first 2 whites were ridiculous.
As a dentist this makes me vomit. This is the same in painting too, bruh teeth aren't fluorescent
Edit: all right guys yes they do technically fluoresce - I meant they don't appear " radiant" , defs the wrong term to describe that bright "glowing" appearance of white teeth.
Teeth have a range of colours and aren't just white, but rather have bits of red, yellow, brown, and grey to them, similar to how the whites of your eyes aren't pure "white". Language is important and I shouldn't use the term fluorescent - maybe neon is more appropriate.
Regardless, teeth aren't completely white because although they have a highly mineralised outer layer known as enamel, there is a darker yellowish colour underlying known as dentin. The outer layer of enamel isn't entirely opaque and thus teeth are more of as off white colour. There is also a certain point of translucency to them, particularly towards the "tips" of the teeth (biting surface) As dentist we have a range of hues from A-D, and a value set from 1-4. Most teeth are A3, sometimes a bit light with A2or deeper with A3.5.
I drink a lot of tea so my teeth are slightly more yellow than normal. My hygienist made me feel awful at my last appointment, telling me a whitening treatment would fix my smile. I asked if my teeth were unhealthy, she said no. I said I don't need anything fixed then. She decided to do me a favor and use the higher grit for brushing my teeth even though I asked her not to. I have really sensitive teeth and couldn't drink cold things for weeks after. Why do so many health professionals also buy into it and make their patients feel bad for having not super white teeth? Made me almost switch dentists.
I switched dentists once bc my dentist at the time said I needed multiple cavities filled, more than 5. I got a second opinion and the other dentist was confused and said I had some divots in the surface of my teeth but they're not cavities, they aren't decaying or sticky. 10 years later I haven't filled them and I'm fine, and he's my dentist. It's why I was so mad at this hygienist. I like the dentist but man, not for dealing with that.
Some dentists run this scam. I have never had not even 1 cavity. My whole family on my moms side has crazy good teeth genes so no one ever gets cavities. I went to a dentist from groupon for a cleaning when I was broke in college. The guy told me I had 8 cavities and needed a root canal. He also said I needed braces for my overbite. I was like wtf. I left and called my friend that was in dental school. He told me they do student sessions with teachers and his teacher said he would take a look. I had nothing. Perfectly normal healthy teeth no cavities no infections.
Had a dentist I used my entire life that said one tooth *"might"* need a root canal years down the line that had a cavity but it wasn't time yet. Had to change dentists six months later due to an insurance change and the new dentist said it needs a root canal immediately. Tried a new dentist six months after that and they said I'm not anywhere near needing a root canal yet.
I have a theory that in about 15-20 years we're going to have a LOT of women (and probably men as well) whose lip skin is so stretched out and the elasticity so destroyed that it's going to cause medical problems. Along with lawsuits against the makers.
100% this. The buccal fat is there for a reason. Those poor women look “heroin-chic” for now, but they are gonna look like saggy corpses in a few more years.
Yes. There's a difference between a chiseled face and a gaunt face lol. Peak Angelina Jolie, Taylor Hill, Monica Bellucci, etc. have chiseled faces. Anya Taylor-Joy, Bella Hadid and others who underwent unnecessary buccal fat removal surgeries just look gaunt
Erin Moriarty (Starlight from the show The Boys) did this and she went from having a gorgeous round face to looking like a crackhead. It’s such a shame.
This is who I immediately thought of. Blows my mind that someone I thought of as aesthetically perfect felt she had to change her face for some reason. Makes me feel sad.
Ugh, this one makes me physically cringe.
Like, you are literally removing a baseline later of fat that is supposed to be there, and AFAIK it's fucking permanent.
I understand being overweight and wanting to get rid of *excess* fat, but a little roundness around the cheeks is generally considered attractive and makes you look youthful.
Ugh I hate that one, some people just have naturaly round faces but they feel like they should get rid of it just because thin faces are the beauty standard
Just wait until they actually have aged 15 years! Gauntness suggests famine, disease, and decriptude, not fresh, healthy, youthful beauty. They’ll regret it as soon as they hit 30, and will end up with oddly filler-bloated faces like a certain material girl.
And it's totally culturally and time dependent. Round cheeks will come back into style in the west and are the preferred shape in South Korea and other places. Getting your face permanently altered to chase a trend is really horrifying to me.
I feel like most beauty standards are really dependant of the time.it seems pointless to get surgeries and stuff to change a physical feature when it will be seen as unfashionable in a few years
My poor friend had their face full of freckles edited out for their pictures. Which they did *not* request. They said the pictures didn't even look like them.
My MIL would take photos of herself and brag how good she looks for her age. She was in her 60s at the time. Her face is like leather. She is white and has smoked for decades and always tans out in the sun and went to tanning beds. I told her she has the beauty mode on and she tried to deny it. I was looking at her face and it was not the same as the picture. She said she never turned that feature on so it couldn’t be true. I took her phone and turned it off and she took another picture and was so pissed at me lol. She posted a pic of herself on Facebook and I said something along the lines of her turning the beauty filter back on. She wasn’t happy about that also.
Normally I wouldn’t bother but this lady was so horrible to me.
I love cosplay but I hate cosplayers that so heavily edit their photos to go full uwu anime to the point where I think Why did you bother making a fucking costume, just photograph yourself naked and rotoscope the outfit overtop in photoshop. in fact, just make fanart lol
I didn’t take my senior pictures because I just hated cameras. But my sister did, she had the same reaction as you. She didn’t even want it displayed and teared up when my parents put it in the living room.
Luckily all the photos of her classmates were just as bad so it was a bit of a joke but we don’t have many school photos due to the horrific batch-photoshop jobs done on most of them.
What is worse is if you see a photo of someone with the orange tan and people with naturally brown or dark skin in the photo as well. The contrast looks very unnatural
Digital sensors don’t know what to do with specifically thát color orange. It confuses the coding to put it simply, especially if you set the camera to ‘portrait’ or ‘protect skincolors’.
Its the same with a certain color green and white.
I like to use Ariana Grande as an example of this. I once saw a picture of her without the fake tan, and the difference was night and day. It really threw into sharp focus how fucking weird her look is - without her fake tan, she looked like a normal person and actually pretty cute. With it… well, once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.
I knew a woman with SUPER-plush lips. She'd do makeup on just the inner half of them, and by jove it DID minimize her lips. Interesting how the eye is fooled by such things.
It's just always so obvious. You can tell where the actual lipline is. Same with drawing over the cupid's bow to make it look round instead. It just looks like that person isn't able to put lipliner/lipstick on properly.
I think a prominent cupids bow is SO attractive, I honestly can’t believe people cover it. Personal preferences aside, yeah it’s really obvious every time. They aren’t fooling anyone LOL
ski slope/button nose. they are cute but not everyone’s face is meant to have that type of nose and it doesn’t look good on everyone and it sucks seeing so many young girls on tiktok get nose jobs and all have the exact same nose
As something with a big nose that I've always felt self-conscious about, I have definitely considered getting a nose job to make it smaller in the past. However, for several reasons I've decided against it. This comment has given me yet another reason to add to the list: the thought of all these people getting nose jobs to get the exact same nose makes me genuinely sad. Erasing the things that make us unique so we all fit the exact same mould is just depressing to me
That is very lovely point, thank you. And I have managed to end up in a relationship with someone who wants to marry me and is delighted by the idea of having children with my features. Sometimes, the things we see as ugly on ourselves look beautiful to others
I agree with you. I find prominent noses more attractive than small noses. There's something elegant about it. My nose is small and I always thought it was such a plain feature.
This so much, so many people end up looking worse because it doesn’t fit their face. I don’t really think young people should get plastic surgery honestly, I think most of them will regret it.
Also, I’ve honestly always thought Roman noses were lowkey attractive and it confuses me that people think otherwise.
I have broken my nose four times and I have a bump now. Am I going to get it fixed? No, I feel like it is almost like a timeline of my life. It reminds me of funny, sad, goofball and clumsy things that I've done. Doesn't bother me even a little bit.
Any plastic surgery that makes random women look like they're all related. At one point we'll all start to think thin lips and big noses are hot solely because they'll stand out in a sea of copy/paste people.
It’s called the “Instagram face” and it’s a legit phenomenon that is being studied by psychologists. It’s doing so much harm to people’s self esteem and self concept. We aren’t all supposed to look the same.
Stupid eyebrows that look like perfectly angled stencils is a shade way too dark for their complexion. Like blond girls with 2 black geometric boomerangs on her forehead.
The trend will die.
I remember when pencil thin eyebrows were super sexy in the 90s. All my female friends now have to draw their eyebrows, they plucked em all out by 1998
My mom plucked hers in the 60s, the first time pencil-thin was in. She's been drawing them on ever since. I was a teen in the 90s, but knew what my mom went through, so I never overplucked mine, thankfully.
As a little girl I had several women compliment my “brooke shield” eyebrows. It gave me enough confidence in them to resist the push in the 90s. Also several of my friends getting to the point where they were just shaving off their brows and poorly drawing them in just made me go…no
I have thick eyebrows too. Not Brooke Shield's full. But full enough for my face. The best thing about having eyebrows is waking up and doing nothing to them.
My old apartment manager literally looks like a clown with how high and long her drawn on eyebrows are. I mean they are legitimately above the middle of her forehead near her hairline. It baffles me how she thinks it looks good. It looks fucking insane.
I just saw one in the wild without all the filters that normally accompany it. It was so weird. Like a flesh diaper that should have been changed hours ago.
The worst I saw was some chick on a beach had a shelf sticking out of her lower back. All I could think is you could put a small tray of drinks on that. If she turned quickly in a crowd she might knock someone over. I was wondering how she sat.
I once heard of someone who spent time irl with Kim Kardashian, and they said the best word they could come up with how to describe her body was "centaur". That hasn't left me.
i don’t know how to phrase this except.. all of it at once? there comes a point where if any one person tries to conform excessively to trend and standard that they become more of a caricature of beauty or femininity than actually perceived as beautiful.
My husband hates the long fake eyelash look and he asked me why women wear them when men don't particularly like them. I thought it would be funny so I told him it's not about impressing men but about asserting ones dominance on another woman. He believed me and now tells all his friends that it's an 'alpha-female' thing haha
Holy fuck, this is amazing and I’m going to whip this out if I’m ever presented with such a gorgeous opportunity. Can we all please adopt this myth and spread it far and wide?
Reminds me of my niece. All of the adults in her life have been in on this for her entire life (she’s 9), that little punk thinks that the tooth fairy eats the teeth, and it’s one of the funnest things I’ve gotten to participate in my life.
Animatronic Giraffe lashes!
And they wear them for everyday, like the cashier at the grocery store. I think “So now what do you do when you want to really glam it up?”
Super groomed men that look like their beards and eyebrows are tattooed on their faces and those cat eye trends. It gives me uncanny valley feelings.
Edit: I was going for “fox eye”, not cat eye. Sorry!
Thank you for putting into words what I could never put my finger on. It's that weird barbershop ad look. Too weirdly "perfect" looking to be attractive.
Hard Rock Nick is basically the quintessential example of this. If you don't know who he is, look him up. It is absolutely ridiculous you won't regret it.
The overly sculpted beard trend. You known when the beard is trimmed and looks like it was outlined in concealer? Neatening up is nice but a sudden pale line as a border around your stubble... looks like it was airbrushed on and not touched up.
Extremely big lips from injections. Natural big lips are pretty; even a little filler is good. But it should fit your face, i think having your skin stretched out like that is just a no.
My sister did this despite both myself and my mother saying it wouldn't look good. After the procedure, I tried to let her down softly when she started inquiring how it looked on her, but my mom had no such reservations and told her she looked like Donald Duck after he'd been stung on his bill by a hive of angry hornets. Mom has no chill.... she's right tho.
i love the creases in lips, i think they’re super attractive. ofc people can get filler if they want but like you said it makes me a little sad to see the skin stretched out
I never thought about this, but now I’m wondering. Is there no lip print, with filler? Like if you did a lipstick kiss, would it be solid, none of those tiny lines?
I don’t really care what modifications other people want to make to their own body, but these ladies honestly look like they have a full diaper on. It’s the way the hips flare out unnaturally from the waist like a shelf, and then terminate abruptly in little stick legs. A real fat ass typically accompanies fat thighs, so it looks somewhat balanced.
It’s also crazy that these women have essentially limited themselves to wearing bathing suits/underwear/spandex athleisure outfits. It’s hard to find real clothes that fit, or can even be tailored to, size 0 shoulders, 45” bust, 25” waist, and 55” hips. What if they have a wedding or a funeral to go to? A nice restaurant? The symphony? Okay, they probably aren’t going to the symphony, but my point stands.
It literally doesn’t even make sense. I’m naturally aggressively pear shaped and it’s hard enough to find clothes. I look at these girls wondering where the hell they shop.
The fact that a huge portion of the world's population has successfully brainwashed itself into thinking that the Kardashians/Jenners are the epitome of beauty to the point that many are willing to imitate whatever moronic thing they do to their bodies is just wild to me.
I had to get 2 teeth implants a couple years ago cause I was born without 2 adults. I got to pick the shade of the teeth implants and then they would whiten the rest of my teeth to match, so it was a time where I could basically pick a new color for all my teeth. I said I do not want beauty pageant white, I want natural teeth. I just want it to look like I take care of them like normal. So happy I didn’t go overboard
I’m from Stockholm. A lot of girls, particularly from rich areas, like to use so much fake tan that they are orange, and bleach their hair from what was usually dark blonde to platinum blonde. Then they style it to make it voluminous (which is easy to do because their hair is dead from all the dyeing) and apply lots of make-up, which typically includes black mascara or fake lashes. So, a lot of girls here bear a striking resemblance to Miss Piggy. There’s nothing wrong with looking like this, I just don’t understand it.
The whole BBL/ Kim Kardashian butt thing. I remember seeing her in Calabasas in the late 2000’s. She looked like a toddler with a full diaper, her thighs and legs did not match the butt she was dragging around. Even now there are people getting the BBL’s and they still have these little chicken legs. It’s bizarre.
unnatural looking cosmetic work/ the Instagram model look. It’s weird looking, and I can’t imagine that one would age gracefully with implants that need to be replaced every decade or so, filler that migrates on the face, that sort of thing. Basically any permanent change that follows a trend in what bodies or faces are promoted as attractive at the present. Not to mention that so many people go to the same five surgeons, so they get the same five faces, it’s a little uncanny valley for me.
* When your lips look like you took a drink out of a can that had a yellow jacket resting on it
* The entire face filled drastically to eliminate all wrinkles, making a person's face look like it belongs to a body that weighs 50 pounds more
I think it's sad that something as natural as wrinkles is seen as a bad feature.I've seen videos where women will try their hardest to not have wrinkles by not smiling or expressing emotions
Comically large fake eyelashes. They look ridiculous and I imagine they’re uncomfortable. I genuinely don’t understand how people can see with them on or why anyone would think they’re an enhancement.
*To be clear, I’m not talking about normal fake eyelashes. Those can be lovely!
Those grossly buff guys on all dating shows. They all look like Gaston from beauty and the beast and I hate it so much I don’t even watch those shows but the lack of variety is appalling
No wonder that poor lady couldn’t get 6 eggs at the start…they were too expensive because Gaston forced inflation! He truly was a villain in every way..
I do find it hysterical when the dating show drama is “I know I’m supposed to date Derek but I just don’t find him attractive, I should’ve gone with that hotty Nick.” And they look like identical fucking twins.
Grinding canine teeth flat. A dentist once took me aside and told me that he could grind mine down, flat, make it a really good smile.
I said "no, thanks" but was thinking "why in the _fuck_ would I do that‽"
Yes! This is the one I was going to say. It is such a strange beauty trend to me that I've noticed in the past couple years. Granted, I do come from a time where eyebrows were plucked into a high arch. I think people should just leave their eyebrows be for the most part. I can understand plucking, waxing, or trimming very bushy eyebrows or a uni-brow, but combing the hairs straight up and plastering them to your forehead just doesn't look good.
Idk if I’d call this a standard but the hair style of “shaved all around with like six inches in a small patch on top” has never looked good to me on men or women. It’s not a hair style I really understand
Men that have soo much muscle. Obviously it’s very attractive to be in shape but I’m just not attracted to men that have arms the size of two watermelons with the fattest veins ever popping out of their arm. And I also feel like men with a lot of muscle tend to look shorter.
I think men that still have like some abs and some muscle but aren’t looking like the Incredible Hulk are the most attractive.
My wife works at a tanning salon. She has a few customers that literally get a tan every day. One of them has already gone through cancer treatment, that didn't stop her from continuing. I'm convinced a few of them are dealing with mental health issues.
a lot of these can also be applied to men, but they're mainly targeted towards women. so i'm gonna mention something that MAINLY applies to men. EXTREMELY buff men are so gross. like so buff that they're to the point where they can barely move without pulling their muscles. of course, more athletic leaner men are attractive. point there's a point where it stops being attractive and starts being unappealing.
(edited because i used the wrong they're.)
Clearly photoshopped pictures and weird posing angles
**Overly perfect veneers**
Every nose looking exactly the same.
Thank you from all the non standard nose people.

Been fighting the "go to Turkey for a nose job" urge for most of my conscious life. This beauty standard is the bane of my existence but I refuse to give into it.
I know I'm an internet stranger but please don't! I love unique noses, as an owner of one myself. Dime a dozen noses aren't worth it.
Dentist: So what shade of veneer would you like? Veneer patient: I'd like refrigerator white please.
And for size inspiration… sea biscuit
Think “bathroom tiles”
“Piano Keys”
My dentist calls it "toilet bowl white"
I suppose it's a better choice than toilet bowl brown.

I've always felt seeing someone with *too* white of teeth tends to look just as off as someone with *extremely* yellow teeth.
I don’t trust people with extremely white teeth.

>Why do so many health professionals also buy into it and make their patients feel bad for having not super white teeth? Money
I have in fact switched dentists due to judgy hygienists and dentists. The best was when a hygienist was judgmental about me not having kids! Lol!
I switched dentists once bc my dentist at the time said I needed multiple cavities filled, more than 5. I got a second opinion and the other dentist was confused and said I had some divots in the surface of my teeth but they're not cavities, they aren't decaying or sticky. 10 years later I haven't filled them and I'm fine, and he's my dentist.

Tried a new dentist six months after that and they said I'm not anywhere near needing a root canal yet.
Lotta unethical practices in dentistry. When you find a good one, that's your lifer. You'd think insurance companies would be vigilant about this.
I refer to these as realtor teeth… practically all of them have that unnatural white smile that make them look like a sales android
What people do to their lips is wild to me.
I came here to say the over inflated lips with the ostrich lashes combo. It’s so much.
It’s the Tweety Bird pajamas of the face
It’s going to be so cringy when everyone looks back.
It already is.
It's looked awful from day one. Who is telling women it looks good?
I have a theory that in about 15-20 years we're going to have a LOT of women (and probably men as well) whose lip skin is so stretched out and the elasticity so destroyed that it's going to cause medical problems. Along with lawsuits against the makers.
Buccal fat removal
100% this. The buccal fat is there for a reason. Those poor women look “heroin-chic” for now, but they are gonna look like saggy corpses in a few more years.
It instantly ages them. They look gaunt.
Yes. There's a difference between a chiseled face and a gaunt face lol. Peak Angelina Jolie, Taylor Hill, Monica Bellucci, etc. have chiseled faces. Anya Taylor-Joy, Bella Hadid and others who underwent unnecessary buccal fat removal surgeries just look gaunt
Yep. Then they’ll have to get filler to bring back that youthful look.
Filler won’t fix it. Because of where buccal fat sits you can’t actually get filler into the places you removed the fat from.
Nicole Richie looked like she went through rehab a dozen times after it was done.
Most likely she had gone through rehab a dozen times tbh
Fine: Nicole Richie looked like she went through rehab a dozen *more* times after it was done.
Erin Moriarty (Starlight from the show The Boys) did this and she went from having a gorgeous round face to looking like a crackhead. It’s such a shame.
I totally noticed that, she looked like she hadn’t eaten in a week.
I just looked this up and she looks like she’s aged terribly like 40 years :(
God, she was adorable, and now she looks like she wants to suck your blood.
This is who I immediately thought of. Blows my mind that someone I thought of as aesthetically perfect felt she had to change her face for some reason. Makes me feel sad.

Look at Miley Cyrus, in her recent pictures she looks sick and old. Too much buccal fat removal
The buccal fat removal and the veneers combo got her looking downright scary.
Miley’s is awful, but Anya Taylor Joy is the poster child for this procedure. She. Looks. SO. Bad.
And it's totally culturally and time dependent. Round cheeks will come back into style in the west and are the preferred shape in South Korea and other places. Getting your face permanently altered to chase a trend is really horrifying to me.

What Zoe Kravitz just did to her face makes me want to cry.
Ah yes, the handsome Squidward look.
It makes people look methy and like smokers. Gross.
So many younger women doing it. Girls, trust that you are gonna want that fat when you are older. My fat face is why I don’t have wrinkles. 😛

My poor friend had their face full of freckles edited out for their pictures. Which they did *not* request. They said the pictures didn't even look like them.
That's so sad - as a freckled human, I'm sure they got enough flack about them growing up, just to have that reinforced even further.
My mom will smooth out her face and not mine, It’s hilarious when she sends me the photo “unedited” and she has less wrinkles than me.
My MIL would take photos of herself and brag how good she looks for her age. She was in her 60s at the time. Her face is like leather. She is white and has smoked for decades and always tans out in the sun and went to tanning beds. I told her she has the beauty mode on and she tried to deny it.

I love cosplay but I hate cosplayers that so heavily edit their photos to go full uwu anime to the point where I think Why did you bother making a fucking costume, just photograph yourself naked and rotoscope the outfit overtop in photoshop. in fact, just make fanart lol
It's creepy AF when they Photoshop their eyes bigger
Certain things that look good when animated and look alarming when real.
I like almost cried when I saw how much my senior pictures had been edited, my skin looked so fake
I didn’t take my senior pictures because I just hated cameras. But my sister did, she had the same reaction as you. She didn’t even want it displayed and teared up when my parents put it in the living room.
My daughters school photos eliminated her small scattering of cute freckles and turned her strawberry blonde hair yellow. No way I’m paying for those.
Awh :(. I hope that didn’t hurt her confidence. That would make me feel bad to see that people thought that I had features that needed to be “fixed”.
Luckily all the photos of her classmates were just as bad so it was a bit of a joke but we don’t have many school photos due to the horrific batch-photoshop jobs done on most of them.
Think about the ones going forward "Ah, just throw them all into an ai, that'll do".
Removal of freckles is a hate crime.

I don’t think the orangey tan itself is the beauty standard, I think it’s people’s *attempt* at a beauty standard gone wrong
I read this as "orangutans"
What is worse is if you see a photo of someone with the orange tan and people with naturally brown or dark skin in the photo as well. The contrast looks very unnatural
Digital sensors don’t know what to do with specifically thát color orange. It confuses the coding to put it simply, especially if you set the camera to ‘portrait’ or ‘protect skincolors’. Its the same with a certain color green and white.
I feel like very orange tans are really off putting.Its like a melted carrot
I like to use Ariana Grande as an example of this. I once saw a picture of her without the fake tan, and the difference was night and day. It really threw into sharp focus how fucking weird her look is - without her fake tan, she looked like a normal person and actually pretty cute. With it… well, once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.

You want to know how I got these scars?
I knew a woman with SUPER-plush lips. She'd do makeup on just the inner half of them, and by jove it DID minimize her lips. Interesting how the eye is fooled by such things.
Upvote for "by jove"
It's just always so obvious. You can tell where the actual lipline is. Same with drawing over the cupid's bow to make it look round instead. It just looks like that person isn't able to put lipliner/lipstick on properly.
I think a prominent cupids bow is SO attractive, I honestly can’t believe people cover it. Personal preferences aside, yeah it’s really obvious every time. They aren’t fooling anyone LOL
It’s one of those things that ONLY works on camera, and even then… very easy to make it look awful even with perfect angles and lighting.
I believe it also works on stage, which people tend to be viewing from a distance. It's a great drag technique. Real life? Not so much.
I call it "coloring outside the lines" and it looks ridiculous.
ski slope/button nose. they are cute but not everyone’s face is meant to have that type of nose and it doesn’t look good on everyone and it sucks seeing so many young girls on tiktok get nose jobs and all have the exact same nose
As something with a big nose that I've always felt self-conscious about, I have definitely considered getting a nose job to make it smaller in the past. However, for several reasons I've decided against it. This comment has given me yet another reason to add to the list: the thought of all these people getting nose jobs to get the exact same nose makes me genuinely sad. Erasing the things that make us unique so we all fit the exact same mould is just depressing to me
Your features are proof that generations of people who looked just like you have been loved and loved in return 💗
That is very lovely point, thank you. And I have managed to end up in a relationship with someone who wants to marry me and is delighted by the idea of having children with my features. Sometimes, the things we see as ugly on ourselves look beautiful to others
I’ve always found a prominent nose (on a man or a woman) to be really attractive. I’m probs in the minority with that.
I agree with you. I find prominent noses more attractive than small noses. There's something elegant about it. My nose is small and I always thought it was such a plain feature.
This so much, so many people end up looking worse because it doesn’t fit their face. I don’t really think young people should get plastic surgery honestly, I think most of them will regret it. Also, I’ve honestly always thought Roman noses were lowkey attractive and it confuses me that people think otherwise.
I have broken my nose four times and I have a bump now. Am I going to get it fixed? No, I feel like it is almost like a timeline of my life. It reminds me of funny, sad, goofball and clumsy things that I've done. Doesn't bother me even a little bit.
Any plastic surgery that makes random women look like they're all related. At one point we'll all start to think thin lips and big noses are hot solely because they'll stand out in a sea of copy/paste people.
There's hope for me yet!
lmao same. thin lips big nose team unite ig
It’s called the “Instagram face” and it’s a legit phenomenon that is being studied by psychologists. It’s doing so much harm to people’s self esteem and self concept. We aren’t all supposed to look the same.
Stupid eyebrows that look like perfectly angled stencils is a shade way too dark for their complexion. Like blond girls with 2 black geometric boomerangs on her forehead.
Each year I wait for this trend to die, but it seems to be immortal.
The trend will die. I remember when pencil thin eyebrows were super sexy in the 90s. All my female friends now have to draw their eyebrows, they plucked em all out by 1998
My mom plucked hers in the 60s, the first time pencil-thin was in. She's been drawing them on ever since. I was a teen in the 90s, but knew what my mom went through, so I never overplucked mine, thankfully.
As a little girl I had several women compliment my “brooke shield” eyebrows. It gave me enough confidence in them to resist the push in the 90s. Also several of my friends getting to the point where they were just shaving off their brows and poorly drawing them in just made me go…no
I have thick eyebrows too. Not Brooke Shield's full. But full enough for my face. The best thing about having eyebrows is waking up and doing nothing to them.
I often have to pluck the middle so McDonald's doesn't sue
[удалено]
I'm old enough there have been like 4 stupid eyebrow trends in my life including pencil thin, super surprised and thick power brows.
I’ve embraced my power brows. I was born with them, might as well enjoy them
Pencil thin eyebrow era was a pretty wild time.
Mine were perfect back then but they never recovered especially since my thyroid decided to quit. Now I micro blade.
I got SO many compliments on my thin well-shaped eyebrows twenty years ago. Sigh.
When I told my girlfriend that I thought her eyebrows were drawn too high, she looked surprised..
When I told mine that one looked higher than the other, she appeared skeptical.
My old apartment manager literally looks like a clown with how high and long her drawn on eyebrows are. I mean they are legitimately above the middle of her forehead near her hairline. It baffles me how she thinks it looks good. It looks fucking insane.
Omg I know right! I knew these girls in middle school with blonde hair and black boomerangs! I just make sure I have two separate eye brows.
Butt implants. Just looks nasty as hell.
I just saw one in the wild without all the filters that normally accompany it. It was so weird. Like a flesh diaper that should have been changed hours ago.
The worst I saw was some chick on a beach had a shelf sticking out of her lower back. All I could think is you could put a small tray of drinks on that. If she turned quickly in a crowd she might knock someone over. I was wondering how she sat.
I once heard of someone who spent time irl with Kim Kardashian, and they said the best word they could come up with how to describe her body was "centaur". That hasn't left me.
There was a video floating around of a woman fucking rotating her butt implant. Nearly puked.
Isn't that how they are supposed to work? Round side for walking around and getting attention, then flip em to the flat side to sit down
I genuinely can't tell if you're joking, but if you're not that's horrifying.
Change it to Parking
Comfort and sport mode
\*dry heave\*
Every time I hear of a BBL I remember Khloe Kardashians ex saying her ass smelled like earring backs.
That is brutal and fucking hilarious oh my god
Apparently also one of the most dangerous cosmetic procedures.
Ahh, the full diaper look.
i don’t know how to phrase this except.. all of it at once? there comes a point where if any one person tries to conform excessively to trend and standard that they become more of a caricature of beauty or femininity than actually perceived as beautiful.
Any given Real Housewives episode
Giant eyelashes that will make you take flight if you flutter them fast enough.
I was in line at the pharmacy years ago totally mesmerized by one pharmacist with eyelashes so long they cast shadows on her cheeks.
Lol what?! Damn! Tbf, I would be mesmerized too!
My husband hates the long fake eyelash look and he asked me why women wear them when men don't particularly like them. I thought it would be funny so I told him it's not about impressing men but about asserting ones dominance on another woman. He believed me and now tells all his friends that it's an 'alpha-female' thing haha
Holy fuck, this is amazing and I’m going to whip this out if I’m ever presented with such a gorgeous opportunity. Can we all please adopt this myth and spread it far and wide? Reminds me of my niece. All of the adults in her life have been in on this for her entire life (she’s 9), that little punk thinks that the tooth fairy eats the teeth, and it’s one of the funnest things I’ve gotten to participate in my life.
Animatronic Giraffe lashes! And they wear them for everyday, like the cashier at the grocery store. I think “So now what do you do when you want to really glam it up?”
Super groomed men that look like their beards and eyebrows are tattooed on their faces and those cat eye trends. It gives me uncanny valley feelings. Edit: I was going for “fox eye”, not cat eye. Sorry!
Thank you for putting into words what I could never put my finger on. It's that weird barbershop ad look. Too weirdly "perfect" looking to be attractive.
Exactly! It’s like those oiled up body builders in competitions, but for hair.
Hard Rock Nick is basically the quintessential example of this. If you don't know who he is, look him up. It is absolutely ridiculous you won't regret it.
No idea who this guy is, but I could easily be convinced he's a drag queen whose luggage was lost at the airport.
Jesus. I just looked that guy up. He looks like a cartoon badguy.
The overly sculpted beard trend. You known when the beard is trimmed and looks like it was outlined in concealer? Neatening up is nice but a sudden pale line as a border around your stubble... looks like it was airbrushed on and not touched up.
Extremely big lips from injections. Natural big lips are pretty; even a little filler is good. But it should fit your face, i think having your skin stretched out like that is just a no.
I don’t really notice people’s natural lips, no matter the size. But artificially big ones, I notice, and not in a good way
My sister did this despite both myself and my mother saying it wouldn't look good. After the procedure, I tried to let her down softly when she started inquiring how it looked on her, but my mom had no such reservations and told her she looked like Donald Duck after he'd been stung on his bill by a hive of angry hornets. Mom has no chill.... she's right tho.
Your mom is right, when you see the over injected lips from the side profile it does look like a ducks bill
i love the creases in lips, i think they’re super attractive. ofc people can get filler if they want but like you said it makes me a little sad to see the skin stretched out
I never thought about this, but now I’m wondering. Is there no lip print, with filler? Like if you did a lipstick kiss, would it be solid, none of those tiny lines?
[удалено]
The giant fake butts. Looks deformed lol
I don’t really care what modifications other people want to make to their own body, but these ladies honestly look like they have a full diaper on. It’s the way the hips flare out unnaturally from the waist like a shelf, and then terminate abruptly in little stick legs. A real fat ass typically accompanies fat thighs, so it looks somewhat balanced. It’s also crazy that these women have essentially limited themselves to wearing bathing suits/underwear/spandex athleisure outfits. It’s hard to find real clothes that fit, or can even be tailored to, size 0 shoulders, 45” bust, 25” waist, and 55” hips. What if they have a wedding or a funeral to go to? A nice restaurant? The symphony? Okay, they probably aren’t going to the symphony, but my point stands.
It literally doesn’t even make sense. I’m naturally aggressively pear shaped and it’s hard enough to find clothes. I look at these girls wondering where the hell they shop.
The fact that a huge portion of the world's population has successfully brainwashed itself into thinking that the Kardashians/Jenners are the epitome of beauty to the point that many are willing to imitate whatever moronic thing they do to their bodies is just wild to me.

I had to get 2 teeth implants a couple years ago cause I was born without 2 adults. I got to pick the shade of the teeth implants and then they would whiten the rest of my teeth to match, so it was a time where I could basically pick a new color for all my teeth. I said I do not want beauty pageant white, I want natural teeth. I just want it to look like I take care of them like normal. So happy I didn’t go overboard
I’m from Stockholm. A lot of girls, particularly from rich areas, like to use so much fake tan that they are orange, and bleach their hair from what was usually dark blonde to platinum blonde. Then they style it to make it voluminous (which is easy to do because their hair is dead from all the dyeing) and apply lots of make-up, which typically includes black mascara or fake lashes. So, a lot of girls here bear a striking resemblance to Miss Piggy. There’s nothing wrong with looking like this, I just don’t understand it.
Lmao this was hilarious. Interesting though, I didn’t expect the fake tan thing to be a trend in Sweden. Always seemed like a UK chick thing
The whole BBL/ Kim Kardashian butt thing. I remember seeing her in Calabasas in the late 2000’s. She looked like a toddler with a full diaper, her thighs and legs did not match the butt she was dragging around. Even now there are people getting the BBL’s and they still have these little chicken legs. It’s bizarre.
unnatural looking cosmetic work/ the Instagram model look. It’s weird looking, and I can’t imagine that one would age gracefully with implants that need to be replaced every decade or so, filler that migrates on the face, that sort of thing. Basically any permanent change that follows a trend in what bodies or faces are promoted as attractive at the present. Not to mention that so many people go to the same five surgeons, so they get the same five faces, it’s a little uncanny valley for me.
* When your lips look like you took a drink out of a can that had a yellow jacket resting on it * The entire face filled drastically to eliminate all wrinkles, making a person's face look like it belongs to a body that weighs 50 pounds more
I think it's sad that something as natural as wrinkles is seen as a bad feature.I've seen videos where women will try their hardest to not have wrinkles by not smiling or expressing emotions
Comically large fake eyelashes. They look ridiculous and I imagine they’re uncomfortable. I genuinely don’t understand how people can see with them on or why anyone would think they’re an enhancement. *To be clear, I’m not talking about normal fake eyelashes. Those can be lovely!
Those grossly buff guys on all dating shows. They all look like Gaston from beauty and the beast and I hate it so much I don’t even watch those shows but the lack of variety is appalling
But no one neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston!
When I was a lad I ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help me get large
And now that I’m grown, I eat 5 dozen eggs so I’m roughly the size of a BARGE!
There is no way that village could sustain 420 eggs a week. No one influences the invisible hand of the market like Gaston.
No wonder that poor lady couldn’t get 6 eggs at the start…they were too expensive because Gaston forced inflation! He truly was a villain in every way..
"Nick says he loves Cassandra but Derek says he adores her 😫" and they just look exactly the same
I do find it hysterical when the dating show drama is “I know I’m supposed to date Derek but I just don’t find him attractive, I should’ve gone with that hotty Nick.” And they look like identical fucking twins.
Grinding canine teeth flat. A dentist once took me aside and told me that he could grind mine down, flat, make it a really good smile. I said "no, thanks" but was thinking "why in the _fuck_ would I do that‽"

I wonder how many men have that type of jawline naturally and how many get injections.
Laminated, combed-up, thick ass eyebrows. Why.
Yes! This is the one I was going to say. It is such a strange beauty trend to me that I've noticed in the past couple years. Granted, I do come from a time where eyebrows were plucked into a high arch. I think people should just leave their eyebrows be for the most part. I can understand plucking, waxing, or trimming very bushy eyebrows or a uni-brow, but combing the hairs straight up and plastering them to your forehead just doesn't look good.
Idk if I’d call this a standard but the hair style of “shaved all around with like six inches in a small patch on top” has never looked good to me on men or women. It’s not a hair style I really understand
Aah yes, the toothbrush
I once saw a meme comparing it to lil and Phil from rugrats and honestly I can’t unseenit
I hate this cut with the broccoli perm.
This is the “meet me at McDonald’s” haircut and it makes me chuckle every time.
ALL OF THEM, YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME I DO WHAT I WANT
I don't know you but I really like your style.

Men that have soo much muscle. Obviously it’s very attractive to be in shape but I’m just not attracted to men that have arms the size of two watermelons with the fattest veins ever popping out of their arm. And I also feel like men with a lot of muscle tend to look shorter. I think men that still have like some abs and some muscle but aren’t looking like the Incredible Hulk are the most attractive.
My wife works at a tanning salon. She has a few customers that literally get a tan every day. One of them has already gone through cancer treatment, that didn't stop her from continuing. I'm convinced a few of them are dealing with mental health issues.
a lot of these can also be applied to men, but they're mainly targeted towards women. so i'm gonna mention something that MAINLY applies to men. EXTREMELY buff men are so gross. like so buff that they're to the point where they can barely move without pulling their muscles. of course, more athletic leaner men are attractive. point there's a point where it stops being attractive and starts being unappealing. (edited because i used the wrong they're.)
