There's two aspects to this, first is fashion. Women have a much greater range of fashion than men, while our clothes are more functional women's clothes are far more designed to please others, if others think she looks good then often a woman will take validation from that.
There is the counter side of this though which is if your open to validation then you similarly open to scrutiny too, they go hand in hand.
Then the other aspect is a woman's body, again this is a double edged sword because a woman wearing a bikini and being told she looks great wants to be seen and admired by other women and wanted by other men, sadly though this means again that if your open to validation your open to scrutiny.
Why this is difficult to understand is beyond me.
Why then don't we talk about men's appearance and bodies in the same way, well the fact is that women do. The dab bod is an example, women sitting in a group discussing the size of penis is another talking about clothing choices of men is also an example
So in truth scrutiny of males and females is the same, in fact then given that men have a very similar shape and size and then given that fashion and design is for most designers an afterthought to include men it can be argued that the scrutiny men face is therefore much larger or worse than that which women face
I don't think women are judged on their appearance significantly more than men are you just complain about it more.
Men are also judged/made fun of for being too fat or too skinny and when a man is made fun of for their weight no one cares, but when women are made fun of for their appearance people actually care/get angry and it is called "body shaming".
Men are judged more heavily on their height which unlike weight is something you have no control over.
Men are also judged/made fun of for having receeding hairlines/balding.
The average woman seems to get a lot more attention from the opposite sex than the average man does. This has been demonstrated by just about every dating site that has ever released statistics and even anecdotally at clubs/parties/online forum (ie women are more likely to complain about getting TOO MUCH attention from the opposite sex while men complain about getting NONE. If men's standards were really higher I would expect to see the reverse ie men being hit on/ propositioned for sex more often than women and women acting more desperate.
Because men are attracted to women by age, appearance alone because of breeding suitability. It's biological. Healthy looking, attractive women in a certain age range are prime breeding material and attract men because they can spread their biological genes. That's what it's all about... This is why women choose slightly older men who are also healthy looking but have financial and emotional stability. It's also why much older men who are still sexually viable are still marketable, whereas MUCH older women, no matter their finanacial stability, are NOT. Because they cannot provide genetic offspring. HowEVER, men who have already spread their genetic material successfully CAN choose an older woman for life companionship when they no longer need to support young children and become generative for their grandchildren or other young related offspring!!!
u Sure we saw it all fold out in UK politics the other week.
I don't care people's opinions of her dress when Boris Johnson gets away looking so untidy.
It's the insults that followed that completely attached her character.

Probably because men are judged on their status and money I. E. How good of a provider they are. Whereas women are judged on how fertile they are and having good dna which is typically what's considered beautiful, such as symmetrical faces with nice proportions, healthy teeth, hourglass figure and a healthy weight.
This is just biological. But when it comes to really scrutinising girls you need to ask other girls because they are the pros
I challenge you to pick a set of guys, as many as you like and ask them one by one if they care about appearance.
Guaranteed most if not all will say they don't. Men are not as picky and shallow as they get credit for we actually can make do with anything and be happy as long as it's within the range of normal.
I believe a lot of men feel bad and rejected based on their income and size of their dick by themselves mostly and project that o to women as if all women dislike them for their small wallet and small penis so in turn they want to hurt women and attack them calling them old and broken after 29.
Some men just have bad luck that’s all but those tend to be the men who are angry at women for their misfortune, and perhaps some of them did get treated bad or rejected for one of the two reasons I stated above but really they are in the minority, but yet those men go on to label and hate all women alike for those that have treated them bad and others never even had a chance or whatever reason and too fall onto that boat who disgrace and hate women.
I see how society judges women differently, and I hate to say this, but. . .
WOMEN ACCEPT the judgments of 'society' and seem to think they need to be what society expects!! BULLSHIT!!
It won't change, until women stop accepting, and submitting to being judged, and stand up against that, as a few are!
The labels, the brands, fashion, make-up, is all a HUGE manipulation of women, to make them think that they need to conform to those standards, those fashions, the 'way' of things, or be rejected, maybe?
Women are for sure more judged on their appearance for sure.
People smoke the argument that it’s because ‘men are more visual’ but I think that’s an excuse. I think it’s a leftover piece of societal misogyny, women basically used to be considered possessions, as awful as that is it is true. So they are going to be thought of as valuable if they look good and know how to ‘behave’ in a way that is considered unoffencively.
We’re as traditionally men are judged by how much money they make and if hey have good jobs. Because they need to provide a stable environment for the wife and children they will traditionally be ‘in charge of’.
Hopefully this changes as time goes on, but part of the problem is these things become part of our identities. I would argue part of the reason gender fluidity has become a common enough thing is because people do not feel represented or connected to these traditional ideals.
Because guys are very visual and in order to attract a guy women have to be very visually attractive So guys scrutinize women on their luxe that’s what makes us attracted to women and makes us want to pursue them that’s why a 300 pound woman is not going to get a man.
Man we are scrutinized by our income if we’re working minimum wage we are the 300 pound woman if we are making someone over there isn’t leaving we turn into about a 200 pound woman If you’re making over $1 million we turned into the guy said get the actual beautiful women and if you were Jeff Bezos you can have as many women as you want because everyone’s going to sleep with you in hopes to get a couple billion from you. Women are golddiggers guys are pigs that’s life
Mainly due standards. It's annoying, though. I had a coworker tell another that she should go put some makeup because she looked terrible and another one being referenced as 'dead' for not having the usual layers on her face.
None of this men receive even a comment about how they look tired, don't dress nice or wear cologne.
Guys are very obsessed with beautiful women. I was once in class and this very pretty girl got inside the room and every guy in class was just staring at her watching her. She became the centre of the universe (poor woman she got so uncomfortable ) so yeah guys are so into looks. more than women. We want our fantasies to be in flesh and blood.
also a pretty young woman on a mans arm is an indication of power. (Especially when he is older) look at Donald trump how obsessed he is about having a 10 for a wife with him. its not only about sex for him its about”look at me i got her, i am the man”
Yea I have seen this happens not only here but in real life too. I think the attack is just to weaken us since we are aware of how much we are valued based on our look alone. They wanna make you feel worthless and insecure. Do not feed them.
I've heard some women be incredibly mean things towards men especially when drinking. I've heard every thing from calling a singer fat and ugly to talking about how important penis size is. We are rapidly catching up on being really catty about men's looks. It's not attractive.
I have no idea... On that same token, statistically women are more critical of other women than men are...
Men that choose that path aren't adults in my opinion, they are still sad little children.

I assure you, men have just as high expectations as women do. If anything, men give each other higher expectations than they do women. Women certainly on average seem to be far less open to men and their personal traits than vice versa. Men aren't as picky as women...
We judge you for all kinds of stuff. Women are just obsessed with looks so that’s the only thing they hear. It’s like an OCD patient that can only stare the cracks in the sidewalk. They think it’s the only thing in the world, but that’s not really what’s happening.
To be honest, its because females scrutinise their appearance more than males do. Women see a zero size model and want to look like that, blokes see a male model with a six pack and think... too much effort. On here though, many male trolls with nothing better to do so just ignore them.
Maybe so but that doesn't mean women are as innocent bad you might think they are
The amount of comebacks involving dick ( which is the best they got ) and no of women who reject men due to height is staggering
It's because in general, guys are more visually stimulated, and women are more mentally stimulated.
If you'll notice, a big portion of the gay community look "better" than the normal straight guy, just like the lesbian community in general looks far less attractive than the straight female community. (notice I said most, not all.)
I'm not gonna say that appearance standards for men are equal because I don't know but men are a lot more judged than we realize. Its just that appearance standards for men aren't vocalized as much because we've just decided that how it should be, whereas women are now fighting back against body standards so there's a back and forth happening. I think the more people argue about it the more its brought to light and there just aren't that many men complaining about body standards.
It's women doing it to each other. Just a game of oneupmanship. Keeping up with the Joanies' became a way of life once magazines and TV's became a thing and while there has been some effort to downplay this in recent years, it just flairs right back up in your faces when you least expect it.
I think as a society, we tend to hold women on higher peditols than men are held. I mean, women determine if there will be a continuation of our species. Women tend to be more versatile than guys in appearance. Guys can merely change our beard or hair- clothes- stuff like that. Women are just naturally prettier than men. So when our society sees a woman out, in less than how we view them- it sort of destroys our illusion of that wo. an at that time. Us guys, we're ugly 24/7, so there's that
Men aren't valued as much for our appearance. We're valued for strength, courage, intelligence things like that. We're the soldiers , workers and administrative class in human society. Human's have a certain evolutionary strategy for survival just like every other living thing on earth.
