    Pure white teeth. I prefer ivory shades- not yellow, just the natural ivory. I’ve had salespeople approach me offering teeth whitening products and it terrifies me.

    I dislike most artificial “enhancements” to boost your attractiveness.

    Things like fake lashes, hair extensions, fake nails, breast implants, BBLs, lip injections, botox, and so on. This also extends for me to things like overly excessive tattoos, piercing, and makeup.

    I personally like people who look and feel real. I don’t want to date a mannequin. It’s a okay to have flaws, nobody is perfect. Your flaws are a part of your charm.

      When they’re done badly, it’s very noticeable and terrible. When they aren’t done, it’s fine. Not everybody is looking for curves and puffy lips. Presumably, there’s a bunch of successful injections you never notice, but on the balance that’s not a very good record.

    Not a beauty standard per se, but I don’t like tattoos one bit.

    It used to be “rebellious” to have a tattoo, but nowadays it seems like everyone has one - so maybe the truly rebellious thing now is not having them.

        Yeah but it used to be. Even Kat Von D is blacking out her tattoos so that it would be more provocative again which is how she likes it.

    My favorite people, and probably yours too are not 10/10 hotties. The people I want to spend time with are funny and kind.

    Chasing ‘beauty standards’, I feel, is a waste of your human potential. That time can be better used building friendships and community. Isn’t that what most people really want?

    If people focused their time there instead, maybe they would feel more accepted, confident and worthy instead of trying to shortcut their way to perceived success by altering their bodies. I find it sad that the digital age has pushed humanity so deeply in to ‘comparative society’.

    Confidence is the hottest most attractive thing to me in the end.

      It can go too far in the opposite direction, though. I was raised in an environment where men doing literally anything besides showering a bit was gay.

    Overly full lips. There’s a bandwidth there where it should fit the rest of the facial features. Filling them up with collagen just almost never looks good.

    “Beauty has to be gendered”

    I think you don’t need to “look like a man” or “look like a woman” to be pretty
