Growing up, I absolutely hated my freckles. I couldn’t get a tan for the life of me, but it seemed like every time I stepped into the sun, a hundred new dots would appear on my arms and cheeks. As an adult, however, I’ve learned to embrace my physical features that aren’t considered conventionally attractive. Because they make me me! And no matter what you’re insecure about, I guarantee there is someone out there who finds those features absolutely beautiful.

Redditors have recently been discussing physical traits that are considered imperfections by society that they find irresistible. From smile lines to soft, squishy bellies, we’ve gathered the most wholesome replies below. So enjoy reading through, and be sure to upvote the responses that you wholeheartedly agree with!

#1

Person with prominent nose and freckles, wearing a turquoise top, smiles softly indoors. I don't know why but normal, natural lips. thin or regular, they're all beautiful and they have a full range of motion to express and convey your emotions.

Somehow, some idiots started pushing people towards lip filler, it always looks trashy and gross, and reduces your ability to display emotions with your lips like a natural person would.

Leave them alone! They're all beautiful and what make you unique! Stop it please :(.

    I think it's only children (bullies) and adults who have not grown up who dislike red hair.

    Since when is ginger hair considered unattractive by standard beauty standards?

    Rarest hair colour and the MC1R mutation is still not fully understood. Better absorbing vit D, feels temp changes differently, needs more anesthetic and unfortunately higher chance of skin cancer and parkinsons.

    Sorry peeps but I've always hated red hair and always said if mine ever started turning red I would start dying it. Luckily it never had any red & was always brown. Over the last 8 or 10 years it went from brown to blonde with some gray.

    Absolutely. It also means you're living life to the fullest, not preventing yourself from showing your emotions for fear of getting wrinkles. I hate how society hates those lines.

    "Hip Dips!": 30 Conventionally Unattractive Features That These People Find Beautiful Exceptionally pale/fair-skinned girls

    I think it’s culturally dependent but the US tends to emphasize tanned skin as more attractive.

    Give me that neon borderline translucent white skin. So pristine and beautiful.

    It helps that I’m big into redheads & goth/alt girls but maybe that’s a symptom rather than a cause.

    I am 37 and i got my first grey hair when i was 19 due to genetic reasons (my aunt aka mum' sister is the same). I don't have that much, but every single time i go to get my hair done the hairdresser tries to convince me to dye my hair to cover them. The shock on their face when i tell them i actually wish i had more because i like my grey hair, is always priceless.

    Young man with prominent nose, wearing a white tank top and black pants, sits on a stool against a dark background. I find thin men very attractive. Like, I wouldn't want them to be unhealthy, and I don't shame or reject other body types. But a tall, really lanky man with delicate hands and a prominent adam's apple...yes please.

    Funnily enough, I'm bi, and I don't have a body preference when it comes to women or other genders. But lanky men, for sure.

    Hair on women.
    The thing I find attractive about crop-tops isn't chiefly the tummy, but rather the lower back, and *especially* with a little hair there.
    And pubic hair, ofc.
    Just looks so mature/natural and pretty. :)

    Oh, and acne, stretch marks, random blemishes... adds to the human charm.
