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

I was going to say...who cares if men find it attractive? If I like it I can do it.

Okay, fair enough. But what is the reason then? They severely limit what you can do with your hands. You can't use them defensively or offensively. They are collecting gunk normal fingernails collect, but with the added bonus of size and glue. I can see if maybe they came with WiFi, or you are able to open beer bottles with them, or you are able to hack ATMs and get money. But just aesthetic appreciation and nothing else? I'm missing something about them because I am just baffled.

Like tattoos, jewelry, or clothing... You do you. While those long nails are unattractive to me, that shouldn't matter.

How dare we do something to make us feel nice without having considered first the feelings of men!? /s

Spoiler alert. We know that. He was stating an opinion and adding an anecdote. That's kinda what conversation is.

True. But it's still ick.

Exactly. Most of the things women do, like the $5000 purses and shoes, are seeking status from other women, not seeking sexual attractive from men.

Of course it's the dudes that will disagree.

Who cares? It’s still ugly.

🗣️🗣️🗣️ this part!!!! Hear me out, women enjoy them and that’s that. There are ppl in the rainbow brigade who love long nails and they have zero intention or desire to attract a man.

That's always what they say "men don't look at nails" and I'm like... So f****n what?

Then do single women wear these when doing chores? For normal work days? When having a lazy Sunday? Doesn't apply to just nails btw.

Please don‘t Karen around then about „Not being appreciated“. And yes, that usually incluses you wanting to be found attraktive.

Spoiler alert: many women (and men) say the things they do aren't to be attractive to others, but the reality is, they're lying. Some aren't, but many, are. Whether they want to look prettier, or whatever, for other people or not, some things just look bad no matter who is doing it or what the reason. No one is saying anyone HAS to, or should feel like they have to, but there are plenty of women (and men too) who want to appear more attractive to others. It's not a cardinal sin to admit this, lmao. It's ok to admit we want to look nicer, more attractive, presentable, whatever word you want to use. We're not going to burst into flames to admit that all humans do enjoy being seen as attractive now and then. It's not a dent in the ego, anti-(insert whatever gender you want here) or a negative thing.

You don't know how others treat their nail care. Personally, I soak them in warm soapy water for a few minutes every night. I bet my nails are cleaner than yours.

They get called cumbrellas where I'm from

Then you haven't seen nice ones, some lashes you can't even tell are fake, and they look so pretty

There are lashes that look very natural.

This is FACTS. I mean, if it really makes you feel better about being you, then great! But where does it stop? Will you just continue to get infections forever?

And they always look bad.

I just don't understand why they all want to look the same. I would freak tf out!

Lol yeah. Check out the Housewives shows.

Even worse, you can actually get paralysis in your face when done too often because all those chemicals eventually end up in your bloodstream (which is why they have to be redone every few months).

Most deaths are pretty extreme.

This needs more hightlighting! (if that is the wordiing?)

Really? Didn't know they were so deadly.. interesting.

Hahah

We're allowed to not wear makeup. Maybe I think some of these fads are silly but we can do what we want.

One of the best compliments I ever got was when a guy friend said "Upstaged doesn't wear makeup and she looks good that way". I was in fact wearing quite a bit of makeup - he just couldn't tell. Another great compliment I got from a guy was after my brother saw me in a play and said "if I didn't know you I'd have thought you were really good!" :) For him that was telling me I'm awesome. LOL

In my experience, they can't usually tell unless it's a full glam or drag style.

Say „people“ instead of „men“ and your statement will be alright

Definitely

Men are too oblivious to recognize make-up.

Exactly. Makeup is supposed to accentuate your features, not form them. Contour is different, just making up your face is supposed to be subtle

Yeah the ones where you can't tell someone's wearing makeup they're wearing just as much makeup as the glam girlies...

That is for illustration only to accompany the statement.
