Its funny because the founder of Lululemon just came out and said he doesn't agree with them making clothes for woke agenda lmfao! Like a couple days ago. Hilarious. Oh, can't forget that Victoria Secret also got a model with downsyndrome. Not saying that's a bad thing, but like...why?! Sure that specific model was cute but, thats so very far from the norm with people with DS and doesn't make sense because people with DS don't even think about or react to this sort of "normal" stigma. Social media is the root of all of this. Once corporations got involved and agendas were created it seems like the main push has been to normalize the abnormal will dehumanizing the normal. I was out having drinks with past coworkers and they asked me if I was gay, I guess because I dress nice and idk, I'm a man so i can't answer the why part. But I replied "Nah, I'm just a regular straight dude" and a group of 7 adults, 2 of which are straight, audibly gasped at me. Like I was the abnormal. I quit shortly after that. But that shocked me. Like, im the normal one here...

I've been saying this for YEARS and so many women have disagreed with me. "Hurr durr I don't do it for men I do it for myself." No. No you don't. You do it for other women.

This whole conversation makes me so grateful to be a woman in my fifties living in a region where oddly little concern is given to appearance (inland northwest, U.S.). We work our behinds off, like men, because our climate and our industry (mostly agriculture and transportation) demand it. Most of us can't fathom wasting money on something as frivolous as a manicure. I haven't put a chemical on my head since I turned fifty, and I forfeited my "beauty routine" when I left California. I maintain my health through diet and hard work, and I'm always clean, but I couldn't care less about any of this crap anymore. Perhaps it's because I've already established my reproductive fitness (three sons, two grandsons) and can maintain myself financially that this whole thing seems so absurd. (Note: I do have hair nearly to my waist, but that's just because it's easier to maintain and keeps me warm).

This is why I've been so frustrated talking to most women when they bring up female beauty standards as some kind of patriarchal, male-led conspiracy. Beauty standards are, quite literally, the long-term result of the dissolution of women-on-women beauty policing. Women have ALWAYS known that they were in a sexual/beauty arms race with other women. Only now that slut shaming has been decried on a societal level that you see this kind of thing growing exponentially. It's never been about pleasing men or meeting the expectations of men. It is and always has been about competing and showing off to other women.

This is such nonsense. Men care deeply about looks. Why do you think these women supposedly compete? Also frankly, when I spend time alone with women, we stop dressing up (unless there are fancy events). We sit around in our pyjamas and eat junk food on the floor. We make ridiculous jokes and snort laughing. We literally sit in the most unflattering poses, make the most unflattering faces - that’s part of relaxing from the pressures of being out in society. On the flip side, if this whole competition idea were the only reason women dress nicely, then you’d expect that when I go out with friends, if a girl is dressed badly, I’d be happy - no! I not only feel bad for her, I feel annoyed that she’s not keeping up appearances. 1. Because women love beauty and aesthetics and it feels jarring to have one girl in the group clashing (sort of like showing up to a costume party with a boyfriend who’s in a suit) 2. Because I feel like she is not living up to the standards we as a friendship group want to convey to SOCIETY. That’s not just women and it’s not just men. It’s a bouncer at a club, it’s the maître d’ at a fancy restaurant, it’s the taxi driver, it’s men who try and approach us, it’s girls we might meet out, it’s potential employers, it’s a real estate agent, it’s EVERYONE

As Chris mentioned, competition and indoctrination can effectively influence a significant portion of the population. Generally speaking, men don't pay much attention to details like nails. Maintaining good hygiene, proper hair care, and basic skincare, which is more about a healthy lifestyle than anything else, should suffice. However, it might be perceived as a form of narcissism in a broader sense. In relationships, some women may lose interest in maintaining their appearance because they no longer feel the need to compete. Conversely, those who uphold high beauty standards might be seen as actively positioning themselves in the market, suggesting that their current partner falls short in some way.

This is one reason muslim women wear hijab. Muslim ppl believe it is protection for society/woman. As they cover their beauty it makes it more important for them to develop their personality, morals and intellect, to be defined by. This makes them pleasant to talk to and hold real conversations around shared values, beliefs and long-term life goals that are also deep and transcend in nature. It prevents ppl getting arrogant and getting a superiority complex based on superficial trates. Keeps ppl down to earth, modesty. Trys to prevent self entitlement and Princess complex. It trys to prevent the commercialisation/weaponising of "beauty", by it not being a publicly displayed and traded commodity/currency. Trys to give women a break from having to compete with each other on just beauty, in open public. That can cause feelings of jealousy. Helps to try to prevent an army of simps and street pestering. As her beauty is for HER and the special people SHE chooses in her life. Helps to try to prevent insecurities trying to maintain unrealistic and unsustainable beauty standards, that are forever changing and expensive to uphold.

That was the propaganda. Long hair and breasts never went out of fashion with men.

By far the best fashion statement is to be in shape.

As a heterosexual male when I see a woman who clearly spends a lot of time on her appearance (make up, nails, expensive clothes, hair, etc) I am initially looking at her presentation and I am impressed, but there is no replacement for looking young and healthy naturally. To me there is something unattractive at fake signals, so either you fake it amazingly well and fool everyone or it becomes less nice. Unlike all the ads out there, there are few things that do make you look naturally beautiful. It is sometimes pleasant to see someone who does not overly spend time on their appearance and looks like a natural human, but then I am initially not as interested, because there is this other woman who does look impressive (and fake) It is a losing game overall, standard for womens looks have gone up. For long term men would rather have a true human, spending time on having the best life instead of this fake presentation (vanity), but due to the over sexualization (imagery of attractive women everywhere you look) of society we are stuck here.

The fake lips have to stop. Who likes that ish? It’s like a bill board for insecurity. 😂 Like a man with a bad fake hair piece to “hide his baldness” but it only makes his insecurity MORE visible.

I find the shaved head with a beard look very attractive… a lot more attractive than a guy trying to hold on to some of the hair or, god forbid, getting that fake hair stuff.

To look “ natural” with “ natural” products that are “sustainable”. Completely financially unsustainable.

Yet the best investment these women can do in being attractive to men is being slender and fit. Yet that's harder to do. A note to the ladies, you being even a little overweight is the worst thing you can do in undermining your attractiveness to men.

You’re going to age .. the question is do you want to do it gracefully or end up looking like Madonna 😳 Also competing w/other women by buying expensive crap is the dumbest thing ever. Just workout & dress in a way that compliments your body. Be kind, generous, interesting & funny. The rest literally doesn’t matter. It’s a waste.

beautiful exchange, very insightful, thank you

Obsession with beauty is no longer a concern only to look good for your potential romantic partner and such. Its alsl about marketing yourself as a 'valuable person' in this competitive society that values beauty, and sure beauty lies on the eyes or beholder but conventional beauty standard exists and they do grant you power in society.

Actually, no- I realize their behavior has been left unchecked both virtually and realistically, and envy coupled with mobs allows for horrific consequences towards their targets.

Throughout my entire life, I cannot recall a single incident where a woman was willing to make such a sacrifice for someone else. Men tend to be more resource-efficient, exhibit lower debt rates in demographic studies, and a significant number of minimalists are also men.

Don't believe this. The right man will find you attractive. At any age. I'm 47 and I still get a lot of attention. It surprises me, but then again, I exercise and sleep right. And I love looking put together. And my hair is silver and long! But this has more to do with your heart and how you carry yourself. And more importantly, why is male validation so important? Just do right, live life and age naturally. That's a life well lived.

7:31 yes yes yes Louise you are indeed correct.

I never understood why women compete and sabotage one another the way they do. As a man, i want my friends to succeed because if they do well it'll come around. The worst advice women give is on dating. Literally just be ok looking, in shape, and dont play games that make your partners life worse and you'll get your dream man. I'm thirty, have been with somewhere between 20 and 30 women, and will literally marry the first one that isnt a liability. Sounds callous but thats all us men want. Looking good helps, but men know its only gonna last a few years, if he's thinking about the long haul, he's asking himself if you have the character to be a good member of the family - long after you stop looking good. Once you hit the age those looks start to go, men will start to ignore you, not superficially, but because they'll assume you spent ten years minimum failing and doesnt expect the pattern to change.

I have always noticed that female hairdressers cut more off my long hair than male hairdressers do. Now i know why.

Man here. Yes, I love long hair. I have long hair. When I see a woman with long hair, I'm noticing while pretending not to notice.

Just love these conversations… fascinating.

Remember ladies, men value loyalty so much that they are willing to die for a rag on a stick because it represents what they have sworn to defend!

"If you only did the beauty routine of 40 years ago, you'd look really bad". As a man, I disagree. Wear women's clothes, have a basic hairstyle (with longish hair), wear simple makeup with earrings. No nose rings, no face piercings, no blue hair, no cosmetic surgery, no tattoos, don't bite your nails. That will put you in the top 10%. As Chris alluded to, most of the extra stuff comes from other women tricking you into looking worse.

“There is no way to escape having ill-health” Nonsense. There are many things we can do on a daily basis to ward away illness .. we are far from helpless in this area

The number one thing I notice when I travel is honestly how much healthier the women seem, both mentally and physically. American women’s obsession with being men and working has made them stressed beyond belief and it’s hurting their physical health too. It’s rare I see fit women these days

A lot of your content seems to revolve around pointing out the flaws in women for the sake of making men feel better about themselves.

I dye my hair with pure henna. Many health problems went away when I stopped dying my hair with chemical hairpaint.

I think that a lot of women pressure eachother to be groomed to within an inch of their lives in part because they see good grooming as a sign of someone having their sh*t together, and that's what they want to be around, because it makes them feel better. Being around a human with their sh*t all over the place and with poor hygiene is bad for all of us. We instinctively move away from it - just see how you react to sitting beside a homeless person who hasn't washed in months. The hair-dying and wrinkle-erasing is similar: women want eachother to do it because seeing their peers getting old-looking is frightening and depressing - it reminds them that they're getting old too. I think at least part of the pressure to look good and young comes from a collective instinct to keep the 'tribe' healthy and full of vitality because it benefits everyone in it.

True, but at the same time it's all fake, doesn't matter how healthy the tribe looks if it actually isn't. All the makeup and plastic surgery on the world doesn't correct for a bad diet, sleeping habits, exercise etc.

In my 50’s I’ve developed even greater appreciation for women who display their defiance of this hyper competitiveness by wearing minimal to no makeup & not spending ridiculously on manicures & hairdressing. There’s something more attractive about the attitude of confidence in their own self worth & natural beauty this displays. Women my age who try too hard to defy their years often wind up presenting as being desperately in denial & in need of too much external validation. Neither of which is attractive.

Only surrender to the truth (no matter how difficult) and faith in God to take care of us can give us the insight and strength to negotiate the lies.
