    Four young men sitting on a hill overlooking a green landscape, illustrating diverse perspectives on beauty standards. A lack of standards towards men. As a man honestly men are allowed to be generally disgusting and nobody says anything because it's considered normal. Men too should be expected to put some level of effort into their appearance.

    Close-up of a person receiving a cosmetic procedure, highlighting beauty standards and unattractive features discussed by people. Filler in general, but especially in the cheekbones. I am genuinely so confused why so many girls want to look like they're having an allergic reaction. It's almost painful to look at, it looks like their face is swollen. I've never in my life looked at someone and thought, hmm their cheekbones are too flat.
