It is YOUR body, what you choose to do with it is YOUR business. Screw what everyone else thinks!
Yes you can make a choice, but if your choice is to be proud of a sloppy appearance just to spite society then don’t be surprised if society has a few things to say as well.
So natural is sloppy
And fake/manipulated and advertised style is a better choice u say.
No wonder the world is screwed.
If you were truly about natural you would have never once cut your hair which would be down to the floor. Not keeping your hair shaved or shape can cost you your job because you end up looking like an unkempt basement dwelling slob.
Please make your own choice. These features are so simple and only attract those who appreciate others on face value. I’m still trying to take my own advice but that’s the best I can give:).
As someone who's spent a lifetime as an outcast and embraced it let me tell you you never really find your people at least I never did. And let me tell you the more you go against the grain the more people will resent you. Live however you want. But I wouldn't if I were you. If I were you I'd play there game. At least a little bit. Act the part even though you don't fit the part. It's just easier in the long run.
It was never not ok because its not against the law. Your freedom to do so but that doesn't stop people from having preferences and standards.
You are free to look the way you prefer, and others are free to look at you or look away, just as they prefer.
I think there is no standard to follow, so following it is impossible, and also the only person who's opinion matters is your SO.
Sure but don't complain when nobody finds you attractive
No one is stopping you from doing whatever you want with your body. When you say society , who are you talking about?
i dont know either
I meant the public
Why wouldn’t it be ok? Society is not my boss or my mom and even if it was then I’d call them narcissistic and steer clear
You can do your own thing, but most people will treat you worse. So if you go your own way you better take initiative and lead.
Absolutely... as a matter of fact I encourage it to an extent, I'm not into hairy arms or legs on a female but I'm sure their are folks out there that do...
It's called being anti-social. There are many anti-social attention whores today and I don't support giving them attention.
It basically like how others mentioned feel free to do whatever you see fit but expect not a lot of people will approve of your decisions being brutally honest here.
Even I hate my armpit hair 🤢
Sure, do what you want, but don't expect any of the benefits society rewards for achieving beauty standards. You still have a chance of receiving these benefits, but it falls from a 95% chance to something more like 0-1%.
Well, I don't think anyone will tell you it's not okay.
But if you go for approval, it's will be normal that people will reject it.
I think as long as you live in this society you got to play the games it comprises of.
Only the shallow people will reject people based on how they look.
Sure.
Its preferable to not follow society expectations. Dont want all the fake shit
Perfectly OK. Much of what society tries to push on us is sickly in logic and/or just plain wrong.
Sure. I’m not straight like society except me to be.
You can do with your body what you want and we can do with our thoughts what we want. If someone is disgusting, we will judge them for it, but they can still choose to be disgusting. Freedom goes both ways.
