This has honestly always made me pretty sad. Celebrity photos I guess I understand since they have a financial incentive, but I miss when just a normal persons skin had texture and character. Our imperfections are what make us unique and there's nothing wrong with simply being human.
Agreed. I can't help but feel like such an old man, but I really don't get it. No one believes you look like that.
My wife says she likes the wrinkles. It shows maturity, and she doesn’t want a relationship with a little boy. As for myself, I can’t say I’ve paid any specific attention to the presence or absence of wrinkles.
And if my hair goes any further, I’m going to shave it.
It's ok, I'm ready to wait few more years.
How mature of you.
Thank you, BitchPeas
You're welcome ❤️
They one of those hair preserving companies like hims. Assuming you're ambivalent about it. Better to start now than never.
same thing applies to makeup, so many people think the way to go is applying it like plaster to a wall, which makes them look like a clothes store mannequin
No, it should be applied minimally so you still look like a god damn human, just a human with eyeliner or whatever
fuck influencers and magazines and whoever else pushes this idea that you need to look glossy to be attractive, god damn
I would be careful about telling people what they should look like. The societal pressures to look pretty is one thing, but ultimately it's their body and if they want to put a bunch of makeup on that's their right. Some people just do it because it's fun afterall. You'd also be surprised the amount of product and effort goes into a "natural" look.
Collectively though, society is not having fun. If you look at rates of depression among young people, particularly girls, the numbers have skyrocketed since the dawn of social media and a big part of that is anxiety over self-image.
