I think its more than okay. Anyone could do whatever they want with their body. Its their body their choice. You are totally free to shave or not if you dont want to, To use makeup or not... I think every body is unique and attractive in their own way, we dont need to have boobs or a big butt to call ourselves beautiful. And for the people who follow stupid beauty standards, they should grow tf up and stop expecting someone to change only to fit their fantaisies

Yeah that I agreed sadly many women and girls became dumb when the Kardashians and Jenners existed. Plastic surgeries are getting very popular worse still it’s getting popular here in Asia. Many people my age were fine with plastic surgeries and not against it. But I myself think that natural is the best.
What protocols do you want to follow? The media sexy ones or your own?
Your life, your body, your style. Kerp in mind, some people prefer dating one type, other the other type. When it comes to a tuff choice in the beginning of a date or relationship, follow your heart.

I don’t even care anymore lol the older I get the more I realize that “beauty standards” are mostly targeted for teenage girls which is disgusting. When you’re older some things may or may not stick with you (insecurities) some may act upon them and some grow from it. But it’s so toxic now a days that it’s starting to cost the lives of others, so you really start to think is this really all worth it? I like the way I am and it’s been about a year where I’ve stopped trying to “fit” in the standards, because all of that was created for the male gaze. So now I dress up how I want to and choose if I want to go out bare faced or do my makeup whenever I want to. We shouldn’t have to feel pressured all of the time. Why be so hard on ourselves to be someone we’re not…for what? Where has our originality gone over the years? Our “uniqueness”. a lot of us forgot who we are or how we once saw ourselves as. So, I think it’s SUPER okay to not follow society’s expectations on beauty standards-

As one of my most esteemed professors once said “ Me vale un Cacahuate” lol.
With that description alone, I’d like to ask u to marry me.
I can’t comprehend how society has turned a natural occurrence into such a chore and makes people feel embarrassed about their bodies.
I absolutely LOVE spotting a girls pubic hair under her arms n wish n dream to find a natural gem like urself. Don’t ever worry what anyone thinks n be proud.
Absolutely. You do whatever feels right to you when it comes to your body. (Except always be clean, shower often. My niece and nephew rarely shower and that's disgusting and not ok being a member of society.)
Sea and all the above everything you just said that totally turns me on because you're confident I would choose you over many many women because you're your own person you're confident and you're happy we should go out sometime I think your questions great I think you're great
Of course, it is perfectly fine! You live your life the way you want to live it. It does suck that we have these expectations or norms of beauty but sadly we can't do much about it, so all we can do is normalize it. Forget society you live your life to your own standard!
There is a big difference between beauty standards and people preference. If you don't like them don't follow them yourself. Just target guys that doesn't meet them either. Never expect things from others that your not willing to do yourself. Plenty of less then ideal men out there.
Absolutely, body hair is normal. It's not unhygienic unless you are being unhygienic. You can make what ever choice that you want, just know that for every action there is a reaction.
It's absolutely, positively, without a doubt A OK to not follow trends/follow the crowd. There's nothing wrong with that. I do even do that myself! Not to say that some trends don't have an influence on me, right now, but I chose/rather not what others do. I like to stand out. I express that by the way I act, I dress, treat others, etc.
Be yourself. Express yourself! Be who you are on the inside. Let the real you shine! Don't be afraid to be unique. You'll regret it if you don't.
I also chose not to wear makeup whenever I go out the door. I feel more comfortable without makeup on. Not to say that I won't ever put on makeup, I just choose not to. I don't need it to be pretty!
Of course it's ok. But if it's the societal norm where you live, you will probably have a limited dating pool if that is your goal. If not, or if you have already found your person, then do whatever pleases you.
Sounds like you’re doing this just to get noticed? It’s also really easy. Staying in shape will help you when you get to my age. Less prone to getting diseases and having bad health. Of course you don’t notice it now. You’re young. Also, Society does not care about how you look. Maybe in certain cities across the USA, but not for the most part. Social Media has fucked everything up too
It's clearly okay because in society there are numerous of people having numerous of mindsrts and if you are going to follow them then dude you are not going to fit in that never ever. So just be what you are at least you are fulfilling the expectations you are having with yourself.
I mean people can do whatever they want and that's totally OK but I shave my pits and legs because it makes me feel attractive and also it's itchy if I don't and I hate being itchy
I dont know about the question , do as you please , but the picture they loaded with the hairy armpits makes me dry reach , dont do that , it really is disgusting , shave legs and armpits , have some self respect , disgusting :(
As questions on GaG have shown, the whole big boob/butt thing is a myth - as many guys aren't into that as are. You may be mistaking society's expectations for your own interpretation of them.
In the end, you're free to do whatever you want. But norms aren't arbitrary, it's the norm because that's what the majority like. And people are free to not like if you don't follow those norms, and you can't say a thing about it.

Society is made up of selfish, greedy, insecure, irresponsible idiots. SO, I prefer NOT to follow society’s advice if I can help it.

at least you are fulfilling the expectations you are having with yourself.
You can do whatever you want, just don't expect for everyone to find you attractive.
I mean people can do whatever they want and that's totally OK but I shave my pits and legs because it makes me feel attractive and also it's itchy if I don't and I hate being itchy
Its itchy because you shave them.
You ever hear of a guy having that problem?
It's fine if you prefer it but it's definitely not more comfortable overall.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize you could feel my pits
I can't, but I have shaved my own to avoid failing a drug test.
They are only itchy when you have stubble. Humans naturally have hair there and it serves a purpose.
It's only uncomfortable when you go messing with it. You aren't natrually itchy all the time. You curse yourself with that.
It's only itchy if I don't shave it...
I dont know about the question , do as you please , but the picture they loaded with the hairy armpits makes me dry reach , dont do that , it really is disgusting , shave legs and armpits , have some self respect , disgusting :(

you can do whatever the fuck you want but you can't expect people to like when you do that.
