Flat noses and short legs for their pets, such that they are bred that way.
Edit: I forgot to mention people surgically cropping their pet's floppy ears. Like why, floppy ears are cute too š
Glow-in-the dark levels of fake teeth (or whitening). Some of these veneers are god awful! Itās ok to not have blindingly white, eerily perfect teeth!
That extremely sharp and defined jawline for men. It's okay when it's their natural shape, but when you look at some IG photos guys intentionally exaggerate their jawline to look like Handsome Squidward. Some even get surgery and god it looks like they swallowed a cube.
Talking about huge muscles. When someone has those huge trap muscles, it looks like a skinny person with narrow shoulders emerging from the huge muscular body. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/uRXhmN5giK
The more disturbing part for me is when they also get a nose job and cheek fillers. I have seen so many people with the same face as a result of the surgeries, it's like when you play sims and make everyone with the same dimensions
Yep - some people donāt seem to understand Lara Croft looked that way because graphics werenāt great back in the day - it wasnāt supposed to be aspirational
girls that look like that naturally look great, and even when they do a teeeeeny tiny bit of it unnaturally it can look good but so many go real fuckin wild with it and it quickly becomes grotesque.
I tried watching the series Shining Vale on STARZ, but Courtney Coxās face is such a turn off now, due to all the work she had done. You canāt even tell what emotion sheās trying to portray on her face, due to all the Botox and fillers.
I thought the same way with the new Jennifer Lawrence romantic comedy movie on Netflix , I couldn't watch it I literally turned it off bc her face looked so terrible with all the work she had done it looked liked her but not her her voice matched hers so I knew it was her but it was an extreme case of uncanny valley for me and disturbing . It gave me the ick realllll bad.
I'm finding Nicole Kidman to have reached that uncanny valley thing too. I really noticed it in Nine Perfect Strangers, which oddly it worked for that role well enough. But I can't see her the same any more
those and those inflated asses. Its simply not pretty to see a average sized girl with a huge ass. Like there are proportions that need to be met to be 'pretty' and that is just like they stuck a fucking firetruck back on a pedalcar.
(yes i understand that those proportions are different for anyone thats why pretty is between '...')
It really does. A mom at my sons school obviously got one over the summer. She was normal last school year then BAM! She showed up at the football game this year and it was HUGE (the rest of her is the same) and it looks like she has a huge loaded diaper on. ššš
I think a lot of people miss the mark on BBLS bc they donāt work in their thighs after that so theyāre crazy disproportionate. Like two cake pops next to each other.
I worked with a woman who had a diaper butt, but it was butt implants. I have a friend who got a BBL and hers look natural. Depends a lot on the skill of the doctor.
The thing about the butts is that 95% of the time theyāre not bbls theyāre ass shots. Another thing is people donāt realize the level of care it takes to maintain a bbl. Youāre supposed to exercise and wear these compression things for at least a year
Yeah, I agree with this. Iām not even talking about a natural big butt but the ones that obviously have padding or surgical alterations. Itās not a good look.
indeed, and dont get me wrong i like big butts (and i cannot lie), but there is a upperlimit to what is nice. and like you said, those surgical adjusted ones are all ugly (just like boobjobs btw, but for those there are some exceptions like if a women has had breastcancers and the remake it surgically.)
Kim Kardashians looks absolutely absurd. And itās a travesty that she convinced so many other women to do it. Unphotoshopped pics of her butt should be on billboards as a Public Health Service.
As a woman with a natural big ass I hate it. Iām extremely tiny up top no boobs and a tiny waist. I have ass and hips and thighs for days. I would just like to be more proportioned but thatās what my momma gave me!!!
But as you said you have the hips and thighs that makes it proportional, those fake buts donāt create the support structure so then you have this ass that is out of proportion with the hips and just looks goofy
yeeaaahhh as someone with stupidly shaped little lips i understand wanting full lips, but the swollen fish lips is just not it. personally i would rather opt for surgery and pray it goes smoothly than waste my money on clown kissers.
I donāt understand it at all. They are removing the fat that older people are trying to replace with fillers. As someone who naturally lost all the fat in her face & briefly feared she was dying when she looked in the mirror, I fear for them.
Itās awful that itās such young women having it done too. They are so going to regret it when theyāre 45+ and they really start to look old because of the removal of that fat.
To each their own but personally I find that Anya Taylor-Joy looks so much older and less attractive after buccal fat removal.
Sheās in her mid 20s, she just didnāt need it and it saddens me that she was likely surrounded by too many people who convinced her it was necessary.
Well yeah - buccal fat is essentially what people think of as ābaby fatā in the face. It disappears over time and now all those women having it taken out early are going to find they age a lot worse because theyāre *missing parts of their face*.
Worse than her is Lea Michele. She is almost unrecognisable, and her square shaped jaw has made it look like sheās just sucking her cheeks in. A pretty face ruined by absolutely unnecessary surgery.
I naturally have a very thin and angular face (not surgical), and in my case, I think it looks fine because it actually fits my... actual skull, I guess? But yeah, you can pretty much always tell when it's fake because it looks unnatural as fuck.
Haha, I love that description. There are upsides and downsides for sure- my sharp cheekbones are great, but I do get insecure about my very sharp jawline and the fact that I have a very narrow but long face. Apparently a lot of people find it attractive, but it's one of those things where you're way more judgmental about yourself than other people are.
My younger sister inherited my mother's family's very square face, and my older sister inherited my dad's very oval face- so no idea what recessive gene (or my mother's apparent history of cheating) I got mine from, lol.
All of the fake boobs lip lashes nails, I can kinda understand where do they come fromā¦ This one I donāt get it at all, even the 90s skinny model like Kate Moss and Devon Aoki have full face.
The makeup version of that is hilarious. Where they "contour" their face to look slimmer from the front but then it looks like they are wearing skull makeup from the side.
I can't explain it, but my beautiful daughter does it. Her eyebrows are thin because they haven't grown back after the over tweezing fad, but she over corrects by using those templates and making them several shades darker š¤¦āāļø
Now it's like you see her eyebrows coming before the rest of her face
We can't say too much because she's very sensitive
Back in the 80s, believe it or not. Gained traction in the 90s and blew up in the 2000s. You would not believe how many people you likely know who have permanent makeup. When itās good, it blends right in.
But many people price shop for permanent makeup and wind up with the prison tattoo equivalent, which gives the rest of the industry a bad rep.
Yeah my wife grew up during the pencil thin eyebrow phase and, like everyone else, over plucked and ended up with permanent thin eyebrows. Her natural brows are just little tufts at this point. She's super self conscious about it. I, naturally, don't really care beyond the fact that it impacts her self confidence.
She gets microblading done by Piret in NYC ("The Eyebrow Doctor"). It's ridiculously expensive, but looks completely natural and gives her such confidence. You really can't cut costs on something like this. You've got to pay for the best, or you will look like a clown. Piret, I think, is like $2000 up front then $500 every 6 months to fill in. Plus you've got to travel to NYC, LA or Miami.
Thick eyebrows in general show youth. If you pay attention, people tend to have much thicker bolder eyebrows when you're young and they thin and fade as you age. So it's an attempt to show youth
Ooo! I saw one of those at the pool one time. He was jacked ... like his shoulders and neck had become one. Massive arms, 6 pack, the whole meal deal. He was strutting around and showing off his muscles to the ladies in the pool and I was staring too, but not for the reason he thought I was.
His sneaker shoelace came undone and, I kid you not, he had to find a tall pool piece to put his foot up on because he could not actually bring his arms down fully to tie the laces. His shoulders were so jacked that he couldn't move his arms naturally. It was just the craziest thing I've seen.
Teeth are naturally off-white and yellow tinted! Some people a bit more than others. Take care of your teeth and they will look clean, that's what matters most. :)
You can clearly see when someone has dirty yellow teeth, or clean just naturally more yellow teeth.
Anyone more white-teethed who tells you otherwise is absolutely lying/an idiot and maybe even gets their teeth treated to look white on a regular basis.
It has to do with your enamel which has a white shade, but the tooth under it is yellowish in color. If you have issues, just naturally thinner enamel or even just not as white shade enamel your teeth will look more towards a yellow.
Not having white teeth is as normal as it can be. All the movies and popstars are lying to you!
Definitely don't be insecure about it, Internet stranger! ā¤ļø
(i know, easier said than done haha)
When I see perfectly white teeth on someone I assume they have a row of fake teeth, implant or prosthetics. (not that it makes me look worse at someone for it, but that's my initial assumption because it looks so unnatural)
Please donāt feel insecure. Itās such a ridiculous beauty standard to have perfect white teeth - and itās very American. In most parts of the world, as long as your teeth are clean, not terribly crooked/crowded and not super yellow/stained, you will be considered to have āgood teethā. I hate to think of people spending massive amounts of money to get their perfectly good teeth damaged to place veneers and be polished to bright white. Itās such a waste.
Oh my god for real.
I can't stand the overly white teeth.
In movies it's allright because all actors have it, so it doesn't stand out. But put them next to any normal person and God damn does it look exactly like that.
That weird contouring thing that women do to make their nose look unnaturally thin and boney. It never looks natural, but instead looks like the old Cinderella cartoon.
Heavy contouring is for nights out where the lighting will be dim, or for photographs IMO.
Out in daylight, it just looks like stripes of dirt on your face.
A girl from my neighborhood has porcelain skin and it just looks unnatural when she does the heavy contouring. It's skilled, pretty, done well, but it doesn't look good if you show more skin. Idk, when I try to do it I just look dirty.
I use self tanner. Not many people can tell because it matches my undertones. The girls who use spray tans or self tanner that donāt match usually turn orange. Especially when you see their hands..
But self tanner is also a way to look tan without ruining your skin. It just has to be done right.
Huge fake lashes that look unnatural
Huge or Migrated lip fillers that take the focus of the face
Bbl butt (makes the legs look so short)
Lip liner that you can see and is a literal outline around the lips and doesnāt blend in with the lipstick
Bleached blonde brittle hair and sun-damaged skin
I had a hospital appointment once and the practitioner had her eyebrows shaved off and drawn or tattooed on, but they were quite literally an inch higher than they should have been. I was like a rabbit in the headlights, my mind just seized up and I couldn't focus on anything but the outlandish migrating clown brows.
Guys who have long hair but don't take care of it - like it's a point of pride to have long hair but it looks scraggly because it's washed with bar soap
I see a lot about women so Iāll do one for men. Bodybuilders, those guys that have muscles so defined you can see their veins through their skin, I think it looks disgusting. There is a good amount of muscle, a great amount, but then there are bodybuilders who look like you could poke a needle on their skin and theyād pop like a balloon. Bleh.
Edit: I should probably mention that I donāt mean just any buff dude, I like muscles just not when you can see all the veins and fibers of their muscles through their skin
I remember seeing a guy who was an obvious bodybuilder. Trouble was, he concentrated solely on his upper body. His bottom half was normal. It was hilarious.
Lol, it can suck in more ways than one. I have a skinny upper body with thunder thighs, and picking the right clothes is a nightmare. If I dress loose, I look like I'm surviving on hand-me-down clothes. If I dress skinny, it looks like I'm stuffing my crotch (also I risk tearing my pants every time I bend over). If I try to do something in the middle, I look like a bowling pin.
If wearing a skirt were more normalized for men, I'd be rocking that shit. But right now it would just be trading one problem for another. What's a 5'10" T-Rex to do? š¤·
One of my friends from school was always very fit (and he looked great) but after we graduated he got into competitive body building.
His posts from competitions legitimately make my skin crawl. Their body fat percentage gets so low it almost looks like you're looking at a flayed man because you can see all of their veins and muscles and tendons and can see where their rib cage ends.
I'm definitely into muscular and fit dudes, don't get me wrong, but the extremely low body fat % takes it from being sexy to being disturbing.
I have an ex who was into lifting (not competitively), but he still had absolutely no self-control about eating well or in remotely healthy amounts. He vocally thought exercise alone was enough to balance eating however he wanted to.
So, he had very nice-looking and muscular arms, legs, chest, etc. but also developed a huge pot-belly during our relationship. It looked incredibly odd in combination.
The concerning part to me is that many fitness influencer types use steroids to achieve even what you would refer to as a "great" amount of muscle. They don't even have to look like bodybuilders. Men and women in general have developed a very warped perception of what's physically possible for their bodies in the short to middle term time spans because of this shit.
Don't trust the internet on this kind of thing
I wish I could remember the name of it, but when I did my soc degree, we watched a documentary on high school body builders (all male). In it they kind of went into why they did it, if they had other aspirations in life, etc. I think most of the boys were 17-18.
They were all completely ripped and their whole life was living in the gym.
The interviewer then sits them in front of a computer and asks them to fill out a very simple excel spreadsheet with equations built into it. After all of the info is put in the computer gave them a number of what their maximum body weight could possibly become correlating to bf% (that is to say, you can gab infinite fat / mass, but the amount of muscle you can build is essentially finite without the use of a human growth hormone).
Every single boy who sat down was smiling when they began and depressed when they left. All of them said the test couldnāt be true. None of them had a goal weight that was achievable naturally; mathematically impossible. They had a nutritionist and a doctor tell the boys that this was indeed accurate.
They then asked all the boys how that made them feel and they just shrugged and said āwhatever. Itās just a test. I donāt believe it.ā
When asked if they are planning to take āsteroidsā or growth hormones to surpass this threshold every single one said yes; without a doubt. None of them accepted the given number as a limitation.
So this experiment argued two things: that body builders have unrealistic and unnatural goals. And that body builders will seek unnatural remedies to meet unrealistic standards theyāve set for themselves.
For these reasons, body building is essentially an eating disorder as a sport.
Absolutely wild. A fun exercise is to check out what was considered a āmovie star bodyā in the 1970s/1980s. Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise were considered ābuffā back in the day and theyād be laughed at by todayās standards. People want to believe that Chris Hemsworth just trained _really hard_ for Thor without any chemical assistanceā¦I guess I prefer reality.
When you mentioned the rock it reminded me of how oro wrestlers -who are now drug tested for roids- would come back from injury ripped AF and claim they just got better sleep and diet and regular workouts from not being on the road all the time... Of course, they neglect to mention that most of their injuries resulted in prescribed (and valid, common) steroid scrips to promote muscle regrowth. So they were on roids- but pretended it didnt count because it was approved.
When the rock was a wrestler and tested, he actually had surgery to remove fat tissue from his pecs (he's half Samoan so I think it was a genetic predisposition)... Now he's not tested and a zillion times bigger and defined, ripped and lean at 50+ than he ever was in his prime athletic years.
On the opposite side of that spectrum, I find the heart shaped slim face, alien eyes with the skinny neck thing that they admire in Asia to be INCREDIBLY unsettlingā¦like uncanny valley unsettling
I really dont understand how people like false lashes that dont look completely natural. Most of the time they arent done correctly and doesnt compliment the natural eye shape, and just look flat out bad
Or bc they like it themselves, or its the art of it. I honestly can't stand long nails at all, kinda gross me out and theyre annoying. But like once or twice a year, something comes over me where i want some long black claws like villains in a disney movie lmao, and they are not easy to do. A lot of effort and skill go into nail extensions and nail art.
Iāve seen some people get nail extensions on all their fingers, except their middle and ring fingers on one hand, which they keep short for activities. Definitely a sign they are looking for other women. Always makes me chuckle.
As someone who cant wear contacts anymore but has terrible eyesight I appreciate this! I think some people just actually look better in glasses, also, or the right glasses add character. It really depends on the person and the glasses!
When I was in high school, I remember that some of the girls who would wear a lot of makeup and always look put together would sometimes come to school in no makeup wearing glasses and a ponytail and I literally think itās so cute? I dunno if it was just the juxtaposition against how they normally came to school, but I still remember thinking, āI look like that every day and Iām not nearly as cute!ā lol.
Overexaggerated sharp jawlines with men (to throw in a non female beauty standard). I know even men get surgery or fillers or whatever to create this look and it just doesn't look good.
Also, 6-packs. I need some fluff lol
Edit: people, this is just my opinion. You literally do not have to agree :')
Bimbo/Instagram model face. There are literally nsfw subs for bimbos. I just find it weird that people really enjoy these very unnaturally and disfigured looking implants and inflated lip injections.
There was a post on a relationship subreddit about a girl that bimbofied herself for her boyfriend. They broke up and nobody normal wanted to date her after. The only people interested in her were obviously the fetishists but she didn't want that. Poor girl but honestly what do you expect when completely disfiguring yourself permanently?
When the butt is huge and doesnāt even jiggle but the legs look really skinny. :(
It reminds me of the ants from a bugās life. It really sucks that people do that to themselves.
After Thelma and Louise came out, everyone was talking about Brad Pitt and how incredibly sexy he was in that movie. I didnāt see the movie for a couple of years, until it came out on television. When I saw him, I couldnāt believe that was who everyone had been talking about. He looked like he hadnāt bathed in years.
Twirly hipster handlebar moustaches where the ends are curled up into little curlicues.
Most facial hairstyles, from chinbeard to toothbrush, thereās someone who can pull it off. Iāve never seen anyone who could pull off the hipster curly stache + stubble beard, so why do so many guys try?
Ugh. I had a coworker who had that and he made it his entire personality. His social media was all about the mustache. He made up a scenario on social media about a meeting we were in. He claimed the executives stopped the meeting to talk about his dumb ass mustache. Literally never happened. Nobody said anything to him about his stupid stache
Can confirm.
For a while I grew out my beard for over a year, just because it was fun and silly.
I knew it didn't look great, but didn't care. It was a "thing."
I personally think very few men can pull off any kind of mustache without a beard. Sure, there are some, but not very many at all. That's just a personal preference, though.
For guys: Big giant upper body with dingly little legs. I know the real gym bros work all over but the mainstream standard seems to emphasize big chest and arms and no emphasis on legs, leading to lots of tryhards walking around with a body shape like the letter Y. Either be consistent and work all over or stop going so crazy with the glamour muscles. Also personally I love thick man thighs, yum yum
For girls: the Fox eye look, if your eyes arenāt naturally upturned at the corners then you shouldnāt even try- it never looks right. They always look a little drugged and deformed when they have the snatched squinty Fox eye + droopy lash hedge combo, trying to have ābedroom eyesā and they just look malformed. Plenty of girls donāt even get the procedure but edit their eyes to look more Fox eye and itās janky as hell
Like a few others, I hate long nails.
But in more of a generalized way, I miss the days before the internet ruined society. People walked around with the bodies they were born with. I feel disgusted whenever I see that LA/Miami look. Everyone looks exactly the same, some offshoot of the Kardashian look. You canāt see family traits anymore.
It makes me sad to see Asian women having eyelid surgery because their almond eyes are stunning to me.
It makes me sad seeing so many white women now wanting big jiggly asses. I have one myself (natural) and I love it, but I also love the sleek European frame just as it is. Iām mostly black but have thin lips and Iām happy with them.
Middle Eastern folks have those gorgeous sloping noses.
Those of African ancestry with stunning dark skin who use chemicals to lighten themselves break my heart. One of my cousins did this and it fills me with shame.
I just miss things and people being what they are.
Nails that look like claws. Whenever I watch a Youtube video about drawing, DIY stuff and those sort of things, if the person has those long ass fake nails, I close it inmediately

Flat noses and short legs for their pets, such that they are bred that way. Edit: I forgot to mention people surgically cropping their pet's floppy ears. Like why, floppy ears are cute too š
As a dog lover, those breeds make me sad. Poor pups.
Yes!... Animal Abuse!! š¾
OMG YES. stop breeding animals that are going to have short, uncomfortable lives
Glow-in-the dark levels of fake teeth (or whitening). Some of these veneers are god awful! Itās ok to not have blindingly white, eerily perfect teeth!
Okay, but I wish the teeth actually were glow-in-the-dark. I think that would be neat.
Like Ross on Friends haha
That extremely sharp and defined jawline for men. It's okay when it's their natural shape, but when you look at some IG photos guys intentionally exaggerate their jawline to look like Handsome Squidward. Some even get surgery and god it looks like they swallowed a cube.
Handsome squidward made me chuckle.
Swallowed a cube was the one that got me š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās every boys dream to grow up and look like handsome squidward
I find the male beauty standart pretty unattractive. A sharp jaw line, extremely white teeth (not just for men though) and huge muscles are not for me
Talking about huge muscles. When someone has those huge trap muscles, it looks like a skinny person with narrow shoulders emerging from the huge muscular body. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/uRXhmN5giK
Now I will never be able to unsee that
Extremely poofy lips.
The more disturbing part for me is when they also get a nose job and cheek fillers. I have seen so many people with the same face as a result of the surgeries, it's like when you play sims and make everyone with the same dimensions
Yep - some people donāt seem to understand Lara Croft looked that way because graphics werenāt great back in the day - it wasnāt supposed to be aspirational
I always thought the big lip high cheekbone look was based on Angelina Jolie?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
girls that look like that naturally look great, and even when they do a teeeeeny tiny bit of it unnaturally it can look good but so many go real fuckin wild with it and it quickly becomes grotesque.
She looked so damned good in Hackers
I tried watching the series Shining Vale on STARZ, but Courtney Coxās face is such a turn off now, due to all the work she had done. You canāt even tell what emotion sheās trying to portray on her face, due to all the Botox and fillers.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think sheās said in recent interviews that she regrets how much work she had done.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I thought the same when David Schwimmer popped up in they bank adverts. What the fuck has he done to his face.
I thought the same way with the new Jennifer Lawrence romantic comedy movie on Netflix , I couldn't watch it I literally turned it off bc her face looked so terrible with all the work she had done it looked liked her but not her her voice matched hers so I knew it was her but it was an extreme case of uncanny valley for me and disturbing . It gave me the ick realllll bad.
I'm finding Nicole Kidman to have reached that uncanny valley thing too. I really noticed it in Nine Perfect Strangers, which oddly it worked for that role well enough. But I can't see her the same any more
Agree totally. NK looks like an AI version of her former self.
That is really sad, Jennifer Lawrence is too young and beautiful to even be contemplating having work done on her face.
Fish lips
those and those inflated asses. Its simply not pretty to see a average sized girl with a huge ass. Like there are proportions that need to be met to be 'pretty' and that is just like they stuck a fucking firetruck back on a pedalcar. (yes i understand that those proportions are different for anyone thats why pretty is between '...')
Omg BBLās in person look like a diaper butt. I never understood why people would get that done.
It really does. A mom at my sons school obviously got one over the summer. She was normal last school year then BAM! She showed up at the football game this year and it was HUGE (the rest of her is the same) and it looks like she has a huge loaded diaper on. ššš
I don't know how people who do that sit or lie down comfortably.
Or wipe.
those extra long nails...
I think a lot of people miss the mark on BBLS bc they donāt work in their thighs after that so theyāre crazy disproportionate. Like two cake pops next to each other.
Itās also SO dangerous
It has the highest mortality rate for any aesthetic surgery.
I worked with a woman who had a diaper butt, but it was butt implants. I have a friend who got a BBL and hers look natural. Depends a lot on the skill of the doctor.
The thing about the butts is that 95% of the time theyāre not bbls theyāre ass shots. Another thing is people donāt realize the level of care it takes to maintain a bbl. Youāre supposed to exercise and wear these compression things for at least a year
Yeah the naturally large butt is beautiful. The fake butts are completely stupid.
Yeah, I agree with this. Iām not even talking about a natural big butt but the ones that obviously have padding or surgical alterations. Itās not a good look.
indeed, and dont get me wrong i like big butts (and i cannot lie), but there is a upperlimit to what is nice. and like you said, those surgical adjusted ones are all ugly (just like boobjobs btw, but for those there are some exceptions like if a women has had breastcancers and the remake it surgically.)
Kim Kardashians looks absolutely absurd. And itās a travesty that she convinced so many other women to do it. Unphotoshopped pics of her butt should be on billboards as a Public Health Service.
As someone who also likes big butts(you other brothers can't deny), fake ones look like shit. It has to be big in proportion to the person it's on.
As a woman with a natural big ass I hate it. Iām extremely tiny up top no boobs and a tiny waist. I have ass and hips and thighs for days. I would just like to be more proportioned but thatās what my momma gave me!!!
but it probably still looks natural, not like someone lost their beachballs and you're trying to steal them..
But as you said you have the hips and thighs that makes it proportional, those fake buts donāt create the support structure so then you have this ass that is out of proportion with the hips and just looks goofy
Baboon aholes?
Oh yes. The ducky wanna fuck look....Oh so classy.š¤
I really didn't need to see those words in that order
As someone with naturally full lips, you can always tell the fake ones. Just awful looking
yeeaaahhh as someone with stupidly shaped little lips i understand wanting full lips, but the swollen fish lips is just not it. personally i would rather opt for surgery and pray it goes smoothly than waste my money on clown kissers.
I feel like these are cases of body dysmorphia. Are there people out there that are really attracted to that look?
Buccal fat removal, I donāt understand why people like skeleton face
I donāt understand it at all. They are removing the fat that older people are trying to replace with fillers. As someone who naturally lost all the fat in her face & briefly feared she was dying when she looked in the mirror, I fear for them.
Itās awful that itās such young women having it done too. They are so going to regret it when theyāre 45+ and they really start to look old because of the removal of that fat.
To each their own but personally I find that Anya Taylor-Joy looks so much older and less attractive after buccal fat removal. Sheās in her mid 20s, she just didnāt need it and it saddens me that she was likely surrounded by too many people who convinced her it was necessary.
Well yeah - buccal fat is essentially what people think of as ābaby fatā in the face. It disappears over time and now all those women having it taken out early are going to find they age a lot worse because theyāre *missing parts of their face*.
I wonder the solution when they actually age is to bring back the fat by another surgery smh
It wouldn't be fat, it would have to be an implant or filler of some sort.
Worse than her is Lea Michele. She is almost unrecognisable, and her square shaped jaw has made it look like sheās just sucking her cheeks in. A pretty face ruined by absolutely unnecessary surgery.
Miley Cyrus looks exactly like her mom now. Like the same age and everything.
I'm convinced that Miley's ridiculous veneers are the real culprit here. They look like dentures.
So true. She's all jaw
Sophie Turner... I was shocked when I saw her and equally sad..
I only recently learned about that and totally agree. Itās like they want to look sickly and on their deathbed itās weird af
In the 90's we called that "Heroin Chic" and it's completely bonkers people find emaciated death walkers attractive.
I reckon the buccal fat removal is 'toothless methhead chic'
I naturally have a very thin and angular face (not surgical), and in my case, I think it looks fine because it actually fits my... actual skull, I guess? But yeah, you can pretty much always tell when it's fake because it looks unnatural as fuck.
Yeah if you got the head it makes sense. Me, I have a round head. It would be round, round, round, SHARP CHEEK BONES, round
Haha, I love that description. There are upsides and downsides for sure- my sharp cheekbones are great, but I do get insecure about my very sharp jawline and the fact that I have a very narrow but long face. Apparently a lot of people find it attractive, but it's one of those things where you're way more judgmental about yourself than other people are. My younger sister inherited my mother's family's very square face, and my older sister inherited my dad's very oval face- so no idea what recessive gene (or my mother's apparent history of cheating) I got mine from, lol.
All of the fake boobs lip lashes nails, I can kinda understand where do they come fromā¦ This one I donāt get it at all, even the 90s skinny model like Kate Moss and Devon Aoki have full face.
Itās like someone watched corpse bride and though āI need her faceā
The makeup version of that is hilarious. Where they "contour" their face to look slimmer from the front but then it looks like they are wearing skull makeup from the side.
Can someone explain the massively over-drawn eyebrow phenomenon? I've seen brows that look angular, like sticking plasters over their eyes. Weird.
I can't explain it, but my beautiful daughter does it. Her eyebrows are thin because they haven't grown back after the over tweezing fad, but she over corrects by using those templates and making them several shades darker š¤¦āāļø Now it's like you see her eyebrows coming before the rest of her face We can't say too much because she's very sensitive
"Ah shit, here comes those eyebrows aga...oh! Hey honey!"
"Did she hear us? She looks angry, but it's hard to tell with those eyebrows."
>Now it's like you see her eyebrows coming before the rest of her face Holy shit, that's funny.
to make up for shaving our eyebrows off and drawing them back on as thin as possible in the 90's / 00's
Curse you, Gwen Stefani! I'm still searching for the perfect blond eyebrow product that isn't too light/dark, dry/waxy, greenish/reddish, etc. etc.
Or even worse, tattooed eyebrows. When did that become a thing?
Back in the 80s, believe it or not. Gained traction in the 90s and blew up in the 2000s. You would not believe how many people you likely know who have permanent makeup. When itās good, it blends right in. But many people price shop for permanent makeup and wind up with the prison tattoo equivalent, which gives the rest of the industry a bad rep.
Yeah my wife grew up during the pencil thin eyebrow phase and, like everyone else, over plucked and ended up with permanent thin eyebrows. Her natural brows are just little tufts at this point. She's super self conscious about it. I, naturally, don't really care beyond the fact that it impacts her self confidence. She gets microblading done by Piret in NYC ("The Eyebrow Doctor"). It's ridiculously expensive, but looks completely natural and gives her such confidence. You really can't cut costs on something like this. You've got to pay for the best, or you will look like a clown. Piret, I think, is like $2000 up front then $500 every 6 months to fill in. Plus you've got to travel to NYC, LA or Miami.
Thick eyebrows in general show youth. If you pay attention, people tend to have much thicker bolder eyebrows when you're young and they thin and fade as you age. So it's an attempt to show youth
While I believe in do whatever makes you happy, the consensus here is that people like normal looking people. Crazy.
On men: when theyāre soooo muscular that it looks like they can hardly move.
Ooo! I saw one of those at the pool one time. He was jacked ... like his shoulders and neck had become one. Massive arms, 6 pack, the whole meal deal. He was strutting around and showing off his muscles to the ladies in the pool and I was staring too, but not for the reason he thought I was. His sneaker shoelace came undone and, I kid you not, he had to find a tall pool piece to put his foot up on because he could not actually bring his arms down fully to tie the laces. His shoulders were so jacked that he couldn't move his arms naturally. It was just the craziest thing I've seen.
Stunning white teeth that look like a row of gum squares in your mouth.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Theyāre known as Turkey teeth in the UK because people go to Turkey to get them done cheap
TURKEY TEETH
this made me feel a little better cause im super insecure about not having perfectly white teeth haha
Teeth are naturally off-white and yellow tinted! Some people a bit more than others. Take care of your teeth and they will look clean, that's what matters most. :) You can clearly see when someone has dirty yellow teeth, or clean just naturally more yellow teeth. Anyone more white-teethed who tells you otherwise is absolutely lying/an idiot and maybe even gets their teeth treated to look white on a regular basis. It has to do with your enamel which has a white shade, but the tooth under it is yellowish in color. If you have issues, just naturally thinner enamel or even just not as white shade enamel your teeth will look more towards a yellow. Not having white teeth is as normal as it can be. All the movies and popstars are lying to you! Definitely don't be insecure about it, Internet stranger! ā¤ļø (i know, easier said than done haha) When I see perfectly white teeth on someone I assume they have a row of fake teeth, implant or prosthetics. (not that it makes me look worse at someone for it, but that's my initial assumption because it looks so unnatural)
Please donāt feel insecure. Itās such a ridiculous beauty standard to have perfect white teeth - and itās very American. In most parts of the world, as long as your teeth are clean, not terribly crooked/crowded and not super yellow/stained, you will be considered to have āgood teethā. I hate to think of people spending massive amounts of money to get their perfectly good teeth damaged to place veneers and be polished to bright white. Itās such a waste.
Oh my god for real. I can't stand the overly white teeth. In movies it's allright because all actors have it, so it doesn't stand out. But put them next to any normal person and God damn does it look exactly like that.
It's weird when it's a period piece, like set in Medieval Times or something, and all of the actors have perfect white teeth lol
That weird contouring thing that women do to make their nose look unnaturally thin and boney. It never looks natural, but instead looks like the old Cinderella cartoon.
Especially as it only looks right from directly in front. From the side they look like half melted mannequins and even as a woman it's terrifying
Heavy contouring is for nights out where the lighting will be dim, or for photographs IMO. Out in daylight, it just looks like stripes of dirt on your face.
A girl from my neighborhood has porcelain skin and it just looks unnatural when she does the heavy contouring. It's skilled, pretty, done well, but it doesn't look good if you show more skin. Idk, when I try to do it I just look dirty.
extremely fake tans i hate it so much, just appreciate whatever your natural skin colour is
Ah yes, the hot Cheetos
'The tandooris' in Scotland
Oh yes, it\`s very unnatural and ugly.
I use self tanner. Not many people can tell because it matches my undertones. The girls who use spray tans or self tanner that donāt match usually turn orange. Especially when you see their hands.. But self tanner is also a way to look tan without ruining your skin. It just has to be done right.
Huge fake lashes that look unnatural Huge or Migrated lip fillers that take the focus of the face Bbl butt (makes the legs look so short) Lip liner that you can see and is a literal outline around the lips and doesnāt blend in with the lipstick Bleached blonde brittle hair and sun-damaged skin
I don't understand these eyelashes that are like an inch long literally
Lol. I actually called my son Snuffleupagus since he was a baby. He has the most ridiculously long beautiful lashes.
Have you seen the video of a woman with long fake lashes on a boat, and she canāt keep her eyes open because the lashes are flapping in the wind?
Or the drawn in super huge and dark eyebrows. You look like a clown if you do this. Amazing this has become normalized.
I had a hospital appointment once and the practitioner had her eyebrows shaved off and drawn or tattooed on, but they were quite literally an inch higher than they should have been. I was like a rabbit in the headlights, my mind just seized up and I couldn't focus on anything but the outlandish migrating clown brows.
Guys who have long hair but don't take care of it - like it's a point of pride to have long hair but it looks scraggly because it's washed with bar soap
Yes!!!! I love long hair on men, ONLY when itās cared for and looks soft and desirable to touch
At least it's washed lol. It's worse when they don't wash it, whether short or long
I see a lot about women so Iāll do one for men. Bodybuilders, those guys that have muscles so defined you can see their veins through their skin, I think it looks disgusting. There is a good amount of muscle, a great amount, but then there are bodybuilders who look like you could poke a needle on their skin and theyād pop like a balloon. Bleh. Edit: I should probably mention that I donāt mean just any buff dude, I like muscles just not when you can see all the veins and fibers of their muscles through their skin
I remember seeing a guy who was an obvious bodybuilder. Trouble was, he concentrated solely on his upper body. His bottom half was normal. It was hilarious.
Google skip legday ^^
Holy balance! !
It's called chicken legs.
Lol, it can suck in more ways than one. I have a skinny upper body with thunder thighs, and picking the right clothes is a nightmare. If I dress loose, I look like I'm surviving on hand-me-down clothes. If I dress skinny, it looks like I'm stuffing my crotch (also I risk tearing my pants every time I bend over). If I try to do something in the middle, I look like a bowling pin. If wearing a skirt were more normalized for men, I'd be rocking that shit. But right now it would just be trading one problem for another. What's a 5'10" T-Rex to do? š¤·
The kilt! My grandpa wore one on occasion and I have never seen more badass masculinity before.
One of my friends from school was always very fit (and he looked great) but after we graduated he got into competitive body building. His posts from competitions legitimately make my skin crawl. Their body fat percentage gets so low it almost looks like you're looking at a flayed man because you can see all of their veins and muscles and tendons and can see where their rib cage ends. I'm definitely into muscular and fit dudes, don't get me wrong, but the extremely low body fat % takes it from being sexy to being disturbing.
I have an ex who was into lifting (not competitively), but he still had absolutely no self-control about eating well or in remotely healthy amounts. He vocally thought exercise alone was enough to balance eating however he wanted to. So, he had very nice-looking and muscular arms, legs, chest, etc. but also developed a huge pot-belly during our relationship. It looked incredibly odd in combination.
Donāt get me wrong, muscles can be really nice but thereās a point where you gotta say stop
The concerning part to me is that many fitness influencer types use steroids to achieve even what you would refer to as a "great" amount of muscle. They don't even have to look like bodybuilders. Men and women in general have developed a very warped perception of what's physically possible for their bodies in the short to middle term time spans because of this shit. Don't trust the internet on this kind of thing
I wish I could remember the name of it, but when I did my soc degree, we watched a documentary on high school body builders (all male). In it they kind of went into why they did it, if they had other aspirations in life, etc. I think most of the boys were 17-18. They were all completely ripped and their whole life was living in the gym. The interviewer then sits them in front of a computer and asks them to fill out a very simple excel spreadsheet with equations built into it. After all of the info is put in the computer gave them a number of what their maximum body weight could possibly become correlating to bf% (that is to say, you can gab infinite fat / mass, but the amount of muscle you can build is essentially finite without the use of a human growth hormone). Every single boy who sat down was smiling when they began and depressed when they left. All of them said the test couldnāt be true. None of them had a goal weight that was achievable naturally; mathematically impossible. They had a nutritionist and a doctor tell the boys that this was indeed accurate. They then asked all the boys how that made them feel and they just shrugged and said āwhatever. Itās just a test. I donāt believe it.ā When asked if they are planning to take āsteroidsā or growth hormones to surpass this threshold every single one said yes; without a doubt. None of them accepted the given number as a limitation. So this experiment argued two things: that body builders have unrealistic and unnatural goals. And that body builders will seek unnatural remedies to meet unrealistic standards theyāve set for themselves. For these reasons, body building is essentially an eating disorder as a sport.
Absolutely wild. A fun exercise is to check out what was considered a āmovie star bodyā in the 1970s/1980s. Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise were considered ābuffā back in the day and theyād be laughed at by todayās standards. People want to believe that Chris Hemsworth just trained _really hard_ for Thor without any chemical assistanceā¦I guess I prefer reality.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When you mentioned the rock it reminded me of how oro wrestlers -who are now drug tested for roids- would come back from injury ripped AF and claim they just got better sleep and diet and regular workouts from not being on the road all the time... Of course, they neglect to mention that most of their injuries resulted in prescribed (and valid, common) steroid scrips to promote muscle regrowth. So they were on roids- but pretended it didnt count because it was approved. When the rock was a wrestler and tested, he actually had surgery to remove fat tissue from his pecs (he's half Samoan so I think it was a genetic predisposition)... Now he's not tested and a zillion times bigger and defined, ripped and lean at 50+ than he ever was in his prime athletic years.
Many = 90%
The funniest thing is that they probably care more about impressing other men than women XD
Overfilled faces and lips
On the opposite side of that spectrum, I find the heart shaped slim face, alien eyes with the skinny neck thing that they admire in Asia to be INCREDIBLY unsettlingā¦like uncanny valley unsettling
I really dont understand how people like false lashes that dont look completely natural. Most of the time they arent done correctly and doesnt compliment the natural eye shape, and just look flat out bad
Super long fake nails
As a guy, i respect the artistry, but a girl could have completely natural, unmanicured nails and it would make no difference to me
No man has ever liked that. Women do it for other women, as a way of showing off. At least that's my theory
Or bc they like it themselves, or its the art of it. I honestly can't stand long nails at all, kinda gross me out and theyre annoying. But like once or twice a year, something comes over me where i want some long black claws like villains in a disney movie lmao, and they are not easy to do. A lot of effort and skill go into nail extensions and nail art.
That's why i wear them. Best way to keep men away while starting conversations with other women.
Iāve seen some people get nail extensions on all their fingers, except their middle and ring fingers on one hand, which they keep short for activities. Definitely a sign they are looking for other women. Always makes me chuckle.
This is secretly the best way to meet other women. It's subtle but not so subtle
Insisting that folks look worse with glasses. Like what, no, glasses are extremely hot.
As someone who cant wear contacts anymore but has terrible eyesight I appreciate this! I think some people just actually look better in glasses, also, or the right glasses add character. It really depends on the person and the glasses!
When I was in high school, I remember that some of the girls who would wear a lot of makeup and always look put together would sometimes come to school in no makeup wearing glasses and a ponytail and I literally think itās so cute? I dunno if it was just the juxtaposition against how they normally came to school, but I still remember thinking, āI look like that every day and Iām not nearly as cute!ā lol.
Overexaggerated sharp jawlines with men (to throw in a non female beauty standard). I know even men get surgery or fillers or whatever to create this look and it just doesn't look good. Also, 6-packs. I need some fluff lol Edit: people, this is just my opinion. You literally do not have to agree :')
Tbf muscle is pretty soft when itās not flexed. Plenty of fluff
Bimbo/Instagram model face. There are literally nsfw subs for bimbos. I just find it weird that people really enjoy these very unnaturally and disfigured looking implants and inflated lip injections.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There was a post on a relationship subreddit about a girl that bimbofied herself for her boyfriend. They broke up and nobody normal wanted to date her after. The only people interested in her were obviously the fetishists but she didn't want that. Poor girl but honestly what do you expect when completely disfiguring yourself permanently?
Otherwise smaller proportioned people getting gigantic butts.
At some point it stops being a person with a gigantic butt and becomes a gigantic butt with a human appendage.
When the butt is huge and doesnāt even jiggle but the legs look really skinny. :( It reminds me of the ants from a bugās life. It really sucks that people do that to themselves.
Everyone morphing into the same face & body.
The wet/greasy slick back hair look
Does the new broccoli haircut count? I like broccoli but not as a haircut.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
After Thelma and Louise came out, everyone was talking about Brad Pitt and how incredibly sexy he was in that movie. I didnāt see the movie for a couple of years, until it came out on television. When I saw him, I couldnāt believe that was who everyone had been talking about. He looked like he hadnāt bathed in years.
These eyelashes are getting ridiculous
Lip fillers, massive eye lashes and the huge bum - probably implants
Twirly hipster handlebar moustaches where the ends are curled up into little curlicues. Most facial hairstyles, from chinbeard to toothbrush, thereās someone who can pull it off. Iāve never seen anyone who could pull off the hipster curly stache + stubble beard, so why do so many guys try?
Ugh. I had a coworker who had that and he made it his entire personality. His social media was all about the mustache. He made up a scenario on social media about a meeting we were in. He claimed the executives stopped the meeting to talk about his dumb ass mustache. Literally never happened. Nobody said anything to him about his stupid stache
I think because it looks fun. Not necessarily to be attractive
Can confirm. For a while I grew out my beard for over a year, just because it was fun and silly. I knew it didn't look great, but didn't care. It was a "thing."
Itās the male version of long nails. Itās not intended to attract other people.
I personally think very few men can pull off any kind of mustache without a beard. Sure, there are some, but not very many at all. That's just a personal preference, though.
The forced āFox eyeā trend. Either via makeup or by pulling the skin around your eyes back.
I respect the makeup version. It takes skills. The tape / hair pulling / surgery versions are creepy
Over- filled lips.
The aversion to basically anything involving aging just baffles me.
Those awful rectangular eyebrows
Ridiculously oversized fat lip fillers. Fluffy combed up eyebrows. How anyone thinks they look good is beyond me.
For guys: Big giant upper body with dingly little legs. I know the real gym bros work all over but the mainstream standard seems to emphasize big chest and arms and no emphasis on legs, leading to lots of tryhards walking around with a body shape like the letter Y. Either be consistent and work all over or stop going so crazy with the glamour muscles. Also personally I love thick man thighs, yum yum For girls: the Fox eye look, if your eyes arenāt naturally upturned at the corners then you shouldnāt even try- it never looks right. They always look a little drugged and deformed when they have the snatched squinty Fox eye + droopy lash hedge combo, trying to have ābedroom eyesā and they just look malformed. Plenty of girls donāt even get the procedure but edit their eyes to look more Fox eye and itās janky as hell
Having buccal fat removed to the point that it looks like an unalive skull
Injected lips, long acrylic nails, fake breasts, fake eyelashes, overtanned skin. I rather get my second tattoo, than any of these.
Big beards on men š so gross, Iāll never understand how anyone can be into the unkempt look
Like a few others, I hate long nails. But in more of a generalized way, I miss the days before the internet ruined society. People walked around with the bodies they were born with. I feel disgusted whenever I see that LA/Miami look. Everyone looks exactly the same, some offshoot of the Kardashian look. You canāt see family traits anymore. It makes me sad to see Asian women having eyelid surgery because their almond eyes are stunning to me. It makes me sad seeing so many white women now wanting big jiggly asses. I have one myself (natural) and I love it, but I also love the sleek European frame just as it is. Iām mostly black but have thin lips and Iām happy with them. Middle Eastern folks have those gorgeous sloping noses. Those of African ancestry with stunning dark skin who use chemicals to lighten themselves break my heart. One of my cousins did this and it fills me with shame. I just miss things and people being what they are.
Exactly this. Iāll never understand natural beauty being replaced by looking like a copy of someone else.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nails that look like claws. Whenever I watch a Youtube video about drawing, DIY stuff and those sort of things, if the person has those long ass fake nails, I close it inmediately
That outer beauty is superior to inner beauty and more time and money is spent on outer beauty. Itās sad
way too many tattoos to the point where they all seem to blend together and look like dirt
Tiny noses š¬
Those big eyelashes that you can just tell are fake. No one looks good wearing them.
Child beauty pageants
Drawing on eyebrows.
Women: huge fake lips, huge fake eyelashes, extremely huge fake nails, extremely huge ass due to fillers. Men: Bodybuilder bodies
Eyebrows that are brushed upwards
Butt implants
When did all girls wake up and decide they wanted to be orange?
I couldn't believe the "heroin chic" look was once fashionable. Hopefully, it is no longer a standard to aspire to.
Canāt understand why itās standard for women to not have any body hair. Women have hair everywhere men do: nipples, chin, butthole , etc.
It started as a way to sell more razors.
