Society sets unrealistic beauty standards for both men and women, which reduces the self-esteem of people. It is high time to realize those are unrealistic and eliminate them.
A user asked the forum, “What are the most ridiculous beauty standards, for either gender, that just frustrate you?” Here are the top responses.
BE YOUNG FOREVER

“Clear, flawless, dewy skin. Everyone has blemishes, dry patches, redness here and there, some weird permanent little hump that won’t go. Everyone.”
BEING BALD

“Being bald. I’ve got thinning hair, and I know I’ll be bald before I’m 30, probably before I’m 25, and it hurts to feel bad about that.”
COMPULSION TO MAINTAIN CERTAIN WEIGHT

“In Korea, girls are supposed to be a certain weight regardless of height. How does that make any logical sense?”
WAXING AND SHAVING

“All the waxing and shaving and plucking. It is exhausting. I would never stop, but also, I hate it all.”
POSTPARTUM WEIGHT

ABS

MEN’S HAIR STANDARD

“As a man, it’s impossible to get a haircut with my long hair because they refuse to treat it like a woman’s hair.”
FLAT BELLY

“Having a flat belly. I’ve been insecure about my belly for 15 years, when it was slender, when it was flabby, when it was postpartum, when it had stretch marks, and honestly, I just want to be able to exist without going insane because it’s not flat.”
LIP FILLINGS AND FAT REMOVAL TREATMENT

“Lip fillings and buccal fat removal. It makes genuinely stunning women look like old meth addicts.”

“Why isn’t it socially acceptable for men to wear yoga pants? They look so comfy! If women can walk around with their nether regions visible beneath a thin layer of cloth, then what is wrong with a banana?”
WRINKLES
![Close-up of a horrified senior woman with her mouth open.](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/horrified-woman.jpeg)
“No wrinkles. I don’t get it. You make facial expressions, and they create these guidelines for your unique personality.
So many of these young people think wrinkles are the mark of the demon. It is all part of growing wiser!”
BLACK WOMEN’S HAIR

“From a black woman’s perspective: Our hair. It’s never good enough for anyone. If we grow it precisely how it grows out of our scalp, that’s wrong.
If we say okay, let me braid it, that’s also wrong. I’ll cover it with a wig; that’s also wrong. If we straighten it, that’s wrong. Everything is wrong, no matter where it comes from, fellow black people or other people.”
THIGH GAP

“Thigh Gap. People think you can starve yourself to get it, but that’s biological nonsense.”
WOMEN’S SHOES
![surprised woman holding high heeled shoe in hand as phone](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/stupid-woman-with-shoe-as-phone-Large.jpeg)
“Women’s shoes. Our dressy shoes are high heels with no support. They’re uncomfortable, and they are hell on the knees and spine alignment. Men’s dress shoes are flat soles with wide-toe boxes.
We cram our feet into too tiny and pointy shoes. I quit wearing these shoes, but it makes me sad. I liked the way they looked, but the price was too high. Women have so many back and feet problems wearing them.”
PERFECT EYEBROWS
![Blonde caucasian woman standing over pink background crazy and scared with hands on head, afraid and surprised of shock with open mouth](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/shocked-worried-wtf.jpeg)
“Perfect eyebrows. It seems nearly impossible without going to a salon, but people act like it’s so important. It’s hair. As long as the eyebrow doesn’t trap small insects within the hair for food, it shouldn’t matter.”
DOUBLE STANDARDS

“Double standards. I would never make a derogatory comment about a woman’s figure, but I’ve had offensive comments made about mine in the workplace, and it was treated as just a joke.”
MAKE-UP AND HIGH HEELS
![Close up face portrait of emotional crazy woman wearing summer beach hat.](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/crazy-lady.jpeg)
“Make-up. High heels. Neither has an equivalent for men, and both are horrible for women.”
