“Makes Me Physically Cringe”: 30 People List Beauty Standards That Need To Retire Giant eyelashes that will make you take flight if you flutter them fast enough.

Striving_Hermit:

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 one's dominance on another woman.

He believed me and now tells all his friends that it's an 'alpha-female' thing, hahaha.

To gain more insight on this topic, we reached out to Valerie Monroe. Valerie was formerly a beauty director at O, The Oprah Magazine, for nearly 16 years, and has since created the newsletter How Not to F*ck Up Your Face, which provides "philosophical and practical advice for anyone who’s ever looked into a mirror." She was also kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda about beauty standards and where they came from in the first place.

"Actually, there are lots of kinds of beauty standards, which vary depending on the culture that produced them," Valerie noted. "What we see in the West is mostly a Eurocentric beauty standard, which, for women prizes light, clear skin, long hair, light, wide-set eyes, a small nose and chin and a small, full mouth. It's biased against variations of that standard and presents an impossible ideal for most women. Interestingly, it also mimics the features of a baby."

We were also curious about how beauty standards change over time. "There are variations in the Eurocentric beauty standards mentioned above, but they're minor," Valerie noted. "For example, Coco Chanel introduced the acceptability of tanning the skin, as opposed to maintaining a pale complexion, which had been a sign of wealth and privilege."

"After she accidentally became tanned on the Riviera, tanning became a sign of wealth and privilege," she went on to explain. "Around the same time, women began cutting off their long hair into boyish bobs, which became standard for a certain class. But I believe the impossible Eurocentric ideal has persisted in spite of recent efforts to include more cultural variation."

“Makes Me Physically Cringe”: 30 People List Beauty Standards That Need To Retire 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.

There was a point when Kylie Jenner was traffic-stoppingly beautiful (albeit waaay old), but she’s apparently zoomed past that and straight into “desperate divorce trying to look young.” And she’s just 26! She looked 46 in the photos. I wish these poor things could get a grip. 😞

The veins don't pop like that without the body buildr first severely dehydrating themselves. On a regular day the veins won't be out like that, but on a modeling or body-building day it's been long expected these people won't drink a single thing until after. Arnold Schwarzenegger spent a great deal of his working days as an actor and body builder SEVERELY dehydrated to maintain that vein-popping look. It's unattractive because they're actively endangering their lives and longterm health for an outrageous industry standard.

As far as the best way to fight these arbitrary beauty standards, Valerie says "not complying with or falling for the beauty marketing that preys on our yearning and our desire to compete for an ideal that's unattainable for most of us anyway—in other words, ignoring the constant messaging we get that we're not pretty enough, thin enough, young enough, etc." can help. "The best way to combat limiting beauty standards is to ignore them," she added.

“Makes Me Physically Cringe”: 30 People List Beauty Standards That Need To Retire 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.

Valerie also urges readers to resist becoming consumed with trying to meet these unattainable standards. "Beauty standards are especially pernicious because they're inextricably tied to the images we see on social media, WHICH AREN'T REAL," she told Bored Panda.

"That means that meeting today's standards of beauty is impossible. It's much more productive and healthier to learn how to see yourself without objectification, which will allow you to see yourself the way you see other people, without constantly scanning your face for flaws," Valerie says. "Then beauty standards will lose their meaning for you... And life will take on more."

“Makes Me Physically Cringe”: 30 People List Beauty Standards That Need To Retire Some of you confuse beauty trends for beauty standards. I find the requirement of being lean, as in, low body fat, to be stupid. Body fat is so demonized at this point, some lower back fat is now considered gross. Having some fat on your body means you actually consume enough food, so your organs can function properly. The obsession with <10% body fat is unhealthy. And whoever once got that lean knows how your bodily functions just drop after you do. Nothing is attractive about low energy, hormonal disregulation and sexual apathy.

I grind my teeth due to anxiety, and did a lot of damage before finding out and getting a good mouthguard. In my opinion, canine teeth that have been ground down flat create a smile that is no nicer than one with naturally pointy canines. If anything, I've always felt self-conscious about how my teeth looked and used to smile with a closed mouth all the time. Now, after many years of necessary orthodontic work I don't care quite so much.

I’m not sure of the name for it, but the style of makeup that was really popular in the late 2010s and still kinda is. The one with the cakey foundation, overdrawn nude lips, eyebrows way too thick and dark, clearly trying to emulate the Kardashians. I’m sorry but I have never seen that look good on anyone.

I also really hate the 70s/80s haircuts that Gen Z is into, especially those mullets and “wolf cuts.” Going to a hair salon nowadays is a nightmare because stylists can’t fathom that not everyone wants layers or bangs or tons of volume.

I think this is referring to baby hairs, but BP provided a photo of someone getting a weave. no gluing the baby hairs in patterns isn’t attractive, but then I’m not the intended audience, so what I think matters as much as a fart in a tornado.

I am not a fan of very defined abs. I get that it’s REALLY impressive and a lot of hard work and I certainly admire that, but aesthetically I personally find them lumpy and off-putting.

Doesn't super defined abs (often, but not always) usually indicate unhealthily low body fat or dehydration? (Male actors with shirtless scenes have talked about being *dangerously* dehydrated so they'd look as 'ripped' as possible)

I’ve never understood the appeal of nose piercings. This is just my personal thing but it just looks distracting and painful (obviously in my head I know it’d not actually painful, but subconsciously I see this metal thing going through someones nose and it makes me wince.)

But hey, some people are into it so more power to them. 🤷‍♂️

I don't mind a tiny stud on the side of the nose, but the one that hangs from the center bottom of the nose just looks like a shiny booger to me.

It's not for everyone. At the same time, I don't think people who get a tattoo think about their attractiveness to someone else. Personally speaking, I get a tattoo for me, not for someone else.

I over plucked my brows in the 90's and they never grew back in properly so I had them done (Powder brows). They look really natural and the fact that I don't have to draw them in every day is everything! I had them done in May and I still look in the mirror every day and think "Wow. I have eyebrows!!!!" So, not all tattoo'd/mircobladed brows are bad ;)

Men who shave or wax everywhere, especially the chest, arms or legs. Like to me there is nothing more attractive than a hairy chest.

Hairless body, veneers, sleeve tattoos, orange tan and Gucci bumbag is the uniform of a f**k boy.

I also used to be grossed out by chest hair, (my dad walked around without a shirt on a lot and he's as hairy as an ape). My husband has some though and it is so hot. Like, he has the perfect amount of chest hair. To each their own though!

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

BoredPanda has sadly become a pretty really mean and toxic place anymore. If you can believe it, this site actually started as a "family-friendly" website that posted artwork from new artists and posted fun articles about uplifting news. It truly frustrates me that BoredPanda staff have writer and editor in their titles when they just copy-and-paste nasty stuff like this.

BoredPanda hasn't been a safe spot for over three years. Ever since the pandemic this site has turned into a really toxic place. BoredPanda used to pride itself on being a family-friend site, now they censor all of their users yet still have some of the worst trolls I've ever seen on a site. They also no longer write their own content and copy-and-paste listicles (without editing) from Reddit. It's pretty sad. What's even sadder as articles like this bring in the trolls.

This was really toxic. Those person's fake lips hurting me? No? None of my business. That person bulked up beyond understanding; Is that hurting me, or hindering me from living my own best life? No? Then I have zero say. I can silently judge and make all the assumptions I want on why they made those choices, but at the end if the day? I still won't know what to make for supper, and the laundry keeps piling up.

Well I think that the issue is that if nobody speaks up, you can get these kinds of selfsustaining feed back loops, where a lot of people do some horrible things to their body, because they think that other people will then find it more attractive, when in fact it not like that at all. If you want to modify your body because it makes you feel better that is one thing, but if a girl get some big fake boobs, and gets all the trouble (back pain, difficulty in finding clothes that fit, them bouncing around and tugging on her body when she runs etc.) and the large pricetag that comes with them, only to be disapointed that she still cannot find a partner who like a living plastic-fantastic-barbie-doll, then I think that she would be better of if someone had corrected her by telling her their honest opinion about what they find attractive and what they are not so fond of. ...and the same goes for the girls who starve themselves to death, due to a misguided ideal that the skinnier they get, the more attractive they will become, when infact most men like some curves, and don't find the walking skeleton look particularly sexy.

I am surprissed that those earlope expanding earrings is not mentioned in here. It was clearly a fashion thing, and making permanent changes to your body just to fit into a fashion trend is in my honest opinion a stupid thing to do (what are you gonna do when that look becomes outdated and unpopular?). To be honest I have always thought they looked awful, and considered it be part of a culture that was fit for native tribes, not white people in an office job. ...and the same goes for tribal or other types of fashion tatoos. It is ok to get inked with something that means something to you, e.g. your children's names (though I would never use my body as a canvas myself), but stay away from the "cheap" fashion stuff, because you couldn't come up with something better. But that was just my personal opinion, it is your body and you can do what you want with it.
