It begs the question if natural beauty is indeed accepted or not. The world population has just crossed 8 billion, and you think all of them have the same concept of beauty? If you look out in the real world there are plenty of men who do appreciate so-called 'natural beauty' and find the appearance of a lot of makeup of plastic surgery repulsive. You don't have to paint an image of the whole world based on just one troll on TikTok, if you get your lips done someone will troll about that too. If you want to continue creating content there you have to keep in mind that the app is full of impressionable children and trolls.
Also, who told you that the woman on the left is a natural beauty? Okay, Rachel McAdams is undoubtedly a beautiful woman with or without work done, but she has gone under the knife and you can be sure that she doesn't wake up looking like that.
If we want to consider body alternations as 'artificial beauty', it has always been a thing and is nothing new. Consider the old Chinese practice of women crushing their feet to look appealing, or some places in Asia where women still stretch out their necks with rings to become more beautiful. In some parts of Africa where obesity is considered ideal, girls are sent to camps where they are force-fed high-calorie foods so that they can quickly gain weight. Or even consider the time women would squeeze into corsets to have teeny tiny waists. Compared to those, plastic surgery is relatively harmless.
Men will always say that they like natural beauty, but they are not as good as detecting natural from artificial as they think. Men hate it when I say it, but even celebrity makeup artists who work for movie directors and such say that when the directors ask for no makeup but they put on lots of makeup on the actor just working with natural colors, the directors can't tell. If movie directors are bad at it then your average Joe is no expert.
Beauty standards are not just based on the appearance but also other factors such as wealth and status. Many people WANT to look like they got work done because it's a status symbol, it shows that you are rich and can afford all these procedures. Many people WANT the shock value because it gets them more publicity and thus more money. Many guys chase that type of beauty because it shows off their own status as they got the 'trophy wife'.
It's not necessarily 'wrong' to simply look up to what the status symbol is today. You can act all like this generation is 'ruined' when the psychology behind the plastic surgery craze is the same as why people like tanned skin, it gained popularity as it became the status symbol for being wealthy enough to travel to tropical countries.
You can obviously take an even more radical approach and question what is natural beauty to begin with? We aren't naturally hairless, technically you can consider smooth hairless arms and legs artificial too.
You do what you like and stop crapping on people for doing or admiring things that you don't like, and find someone who likes you for who you are. The end. Get over yourself.

Honestly, that second picture you posted looks like a drag queen; a man dressed in makeup. All that's missing is his Adam's apple.
And of course, you're right. There is too much emphasis placed on makeup, and you can use makeup to enhance beauty. Alongside of that. miuch emphasis is placed on the body: getting breast implants (normal for 16 yr old girls in Florida to request it as a birthday gift from parents!), lip injections for fuller lips, butt lifts, flase eyelashes, hair straightening and coloring, tans, etc. It's as if the real person has taken on a different appearance to please whatever society deems is beautiful. But that's false beauty. Some men like it, and others don't. Most men I know, prefer the natural looks women have. And truthfully, women who do these things to their bodies and faces do it because they don't feel pretty or beautiful themselves. It's a reaction to their own securities. I can see if someone thougth their nose was hidious, or they needed to straighten their teeth. But beyond that, it's all in the mind.
Natural beauty is real. It’s what I respond to as a guy. The untouched body is reflective of who we are because it’s in the image of our spirit. So why modify or mask who and what we are? I dislike all modern fashion and aesthetic trends pushed off onto women nowadays. I would be 1000x more attracted to a simple woman who doesn’t put on makeup, doctor her hair with chemicals and unnatural colors, remove pubic hair, pluck her eyebrows in favor of drawing on fake ones, blow up her lips to look like a puffer fish, put on flashy clothing, etc. Natural beauty may not be as accepted by the world these day but natural is what I desire more than anything. The world has gone to hell. I don’t follow trends of the world.
Social media obviously plays a big roll. But I believe that the acceptance of it has been the primary reason. It used to be seen as a ridiculous thing to do for people who weren't happy with the way they looked. Now more people than ever are either unhappy with the way they look, told they don't look good enough, or do it cuz everyone else is. I'm all about that natural beauty 100%. And I think changing anything about my appearance surgically is just plane stupid. Just learn to live with what you have and encourage others to do the same. If anything, change eating and exercise habits. Those are really the only changes necessary.

It's completely devastating to know that some people don't seem to appreciate the authenticity of someone's natural self no more. I think a lot to blame is all the trends and all these surgeries women are doing to fit in so it goes like a pattern or must to do list which is sad because nobody needs to change to be beautiful.. I would never change myself for other people's standards and I'm content with who I am and you're a beautiful person too I'm sorry this happened but always stay true to your heart and honestly so what if they don't appreciate it because at the end of the day you appreciating yourself matters the most.
It’s very sad to be honest , the reason is people think social media is real when it’s all filter and photoshop so people have expectations of appearances and are expected to look a certain way. Social media is so toxic , also people feel very insecure and compare themselves to others so they get stuff done to their bodies and faces. But they will never be happy, you need to learn yourself and be happy with your natural self. And then when people get the surgeries and fillers they are told it looks fake they look disgusting. So moral of the story is you can’t please everyone and you don’t have too, be happy and love yourself don’t change yourself your features make you who you are , your beautiful x
More often than not when I see girls with cosmetic surgery done on their face, they look much worse for it. Cosmetic surgery is fine if you actually need it, to correct some defect perhaps, but for the most part one’s natural beauty looks way better and more natural than the butchering botch job you so often see 😒 and of course makeup can enhance that natural beauty. You for one certainly do not need any ‘work’ doing anywhere - you are very attractive as you are. I do think there are a lot of bad influencers out there in the world who are given too much air time on TV, and young minds see them as role models and engage with their thinking, attitudes and bad behaviours - it’s sad really. I find artificial ‘beauty’ rather unattractive 👎 give me natural beauty any day, but then I am old school! 😂
Natural beauty is not accepted by whom? Hollywood? Plastic surgeons? TikTok? (which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party), which aims to weaken the U. S. and eventually take over as the ONE super-power, and aims to have their currency replace the U. S. Dollar as the world reserve currency! They are NOT our friends! Just in that picture you included above, that actresses’ natural beauty is FAR superior to the plasticated fish mouth look in the “altered” face pic! I believe natural beauty to be FAR more beautiful to the “plastic surgery” look! The best plastic surgery should look like you have NOT had plastic surgery! The very fact that there is a “plastic surgery LOOK” should tell you that the entire thing has been perverted beyond anything that was ever intended!
Not such thing as natural beauty. If men saw women in there natural state they wouldn't find us beautiful anymore.
I think men seem to forget what "natural" means it means no more shaving, no more getting are eyebrows threaded, no more waxing are top lips, no more perfume or deodorant, no more getting are hair done at the salon, no more nice nails and no make up.
Do you think these things existed back when things were all natural?
It's such a unrealistic standard men set for women I want a absolutely stunning woman yet she has to be all natural there isn't such thing as if so how find her me please
It’s because Hollywood is trying to portray this Barbie look or anime look if you a weeb but men fantasize how would women look if they were like this.. now yes most of the time when a woman dress herself up with plastic surgery most (not all) but most men will chase her.. that female started to like the attention so she goes out and get more plastic surgery it was the face now the boobs and butt.. now she got all the guys looking at her some asking her out.. some avoiding her but she doesn’t care and some just want sex.. since she started to like the attention she goes overboard with the plastic surgery and that’s when the self-love and self-appreciation is GONE.. it’s because women like her want men to look at them and love them but deep down they are broken from the beginning when she started the plastic surgery to the end
Mostly because you girls buy into all that shit! You see all those bullshit fashion mags and think you HAVE to look like the girls on the covers or you'll deemed worthless and ugly!! Whoever that broad is in the right picture, she's not pretty!! On top of that, I have a theory that all that shit causes you to look worse over time. I used to know a gorgeous woman that looked a lot like Suzanne Sommers before SHE overdosed on make-up. A few years later, this girl also started over-doing it on the black shit around her eyes. She still looked FAIRLY good but, the black shit was just too much! As of about a year ago, she stopped wearing all that shit and now, she's not exactly all that naturally pretty, anymore!
I'd much rather have someone that just IS pretty WITHOUT all the face goop!! If you want to do lipstick, maybe a touch of rouge and a tiny bit of eyeliner, okay, that I can take. Once you stop looking like you, I don't know that I'm gonna be as interested.If I had to guess is because some people will try to make reality whatever they want instead loving certain imperfections and flaws.
Now I’m very much against plastic surgery but within reason I understand such as birth marks , injuries, burns and other unfortunate circumstances which helps the individual balance out the equation. However, the obsession with BBLs, face lifts, implants and others make it look so bad that I can’t find that attractive but others are willing to accept it over the actual message of body positivityWe both the same thing lol. When I read the title of this question the first thing that popped into my mind was Kim Kardashian. But look deeper into this and consider the notoriety Kim Kardashian has and the 1.6 billion dollar net worth. And what does she contribute to society? I'm not saying she's the devil or that she hasn't done any charity work. But she even acknowledges she's "famous for being famous" . And in the tik tok/YouTube, 15 minutes if fame culture that has pervaded today's youth can you really expect this NOT to have happened? This is why it's important to have morals and values and why parents need to teach thier kids this. Because it keeps you centered when the world tries to push in idiocy on you sometimes.
I definitely accept natural beauty, nothing beats a naturally beautiful girl, a very moderate amount of makeup can make it stand out even more, and compliment the way she looks naturally.
But I absolutely cannot stand it when they start modifying their bodies and putting so much make up on that they do not even look like women anymore, you know it's bad when Barbie's face looks less artificial than theirs.
Everyone has, and is entitled to, their own opinions, I viewed your profile picture, and my opinion is that you are a beautiful woman.It appears that women are having a very hard time waking up to what’s real and what’s not in this world… and I mean this well beyond beauty products.
…and yet they continue to waste so much money on these beauty products. It’s so weird to me. It’s like a standout example of how people have been manipulated into believing certain things about life that just hold no water at all.
I mean there might be a marginal gain here or there for some, but when you’re just caking it all on, just to look halfway presentable, you’re best just saving the money and learning how to be comfortable with yourself. THAT’s what I wish women would do… not rely on products and face themselves honestly and do that inner work. Doesn’t matter how pretty you are.
Am I making sense?
Asker...
I personally have lost any pleasure in seeing pictures of good-looking women on social media/Internet, because at least 90% of them are... artificial, untrue.
Same is for nature's landscapes we are offered as background images for our displays large and small: those have come to be essentially untrue as well.
There is a market dynamic at work: the offer tries to meet the demand. And the majority is always right.
For the market. As for truth (genuineness, authenticity, ...) the majority is always wrong.Your choice will have to be to agree with the majority (even if you disagree with them in actuality) or go the way of independence, enjoying what you know to be true (starting from your looks) because it's true, not because the world hand-claps it.
Natural beauty will always be best to me. I can't stand all the fakeness now. The ugly fat lips that are disproportionate on Caucasian female mouths, fake asses and little waists, and all the makeup that is actually really blinding and doesn't look good. And yeah, I don't like the Kardashians at all. Never have. They're not beautiful to me.
I agree with you completely.
However, artificial "beauty" is a way to level the playing field. Because -- let's face it -- not everyone is born pretty. Some people don't have great genes, so they need a little "helping hand."
Plus, if you get EVERYONE to buy into the concept of artificial beauty, then the companies selling that stuff make a lot more money. So, for that reason, they have actually been negging actual beautiful women and telling them that they are not beautiful. To get them to feel insecure so that they will buy their products.thats just makeup not done right. if makeup is done right, it can look way more attractive than natural beauty.
men say they like natural beauty because they don't like to be deceived. everyone wants to see the real deal right?
but trust me, without makeup, a lot of the "gorgeous girls" you see now will just be plain average janes. A 9 out of 10 will turn into a 7 out of 10
It's scary, I agree. I'm not particularly pretty but no way I'm doing face lifting, lip pumping, bone structuring or any other shit to make myself looks "better"
The way their lips are puffed makes them looks as if they're beaten up and that's terrifying how they find it beautifulWell when “women”’like this are winning beauty pageants then I don’t know what to tell you.
Men have been complaining about this for a long time. Fakeness is very unappealing to us. That means makeup in all it's forms, fake nails, fake lashes, fake boobs, fake butts, fake hair color, fake tans, fake eye color, ballooned up lips, gross plastic surgery... all very, very unattractive.
This is largely a problem of women's own making, and exacerbated by social media. It's a result of women valuing themselves based primarily on their sexuality rather than all the other things women of the past brought to the table that today's women largely have left behind. It's a result of women waiting until their 30s and beyond to find a life partner. Women who use the power they have in their 20 to get married, to a good man who will always love them even as they age, don't feel the same pressure to try to hang onto their youth the way most of today's women do.
I think you would find that those that have stayed factory original are way more prevalent than those that have under gone any enhancement surgeries.
My thinking is that those who have undergone surgery are the ones who are saying that to justify their own surgeries.
Many of them look hideous.
I will take natural beauty with a great personality any day.Social Media is social engineering trying to make what’s not into what is while sacrificing people’s well being. The “regular looking women” are now the Commodity. If she is Pure as in no lips, surgery, eye modifications, nipple/skin pink coloring, breast enlargement, etc then she’s now HOT.
It is a natural reaction from forced uniformity in behavior and appearance. All media is social engineering. Not should be disregarded.
