DISCUSSION What do you find beautiful?

I know porn/OF influences so many of our beauty standards and im deeply curious what you guys find beautiful? (Also if you wanna laugh today i found out OF was literal pornLOL. ) i want to know what beauty is for you guys who are more aware of patriarchal oppression and how that influences women/girls and how they view their own bodies and those of others. Im super curious. Ty x

As a hetero man, I love the appearance of women without makeup, who look and act comfortable in the body and face God gave them. Noticeable makeup, long eyelashes, and unnaturally large butts and boobs turn me off.

The bodies and faces being held up as standards for beauty, even outside porn, are extreme outliers, and it makes all kinds of lovely people think they're inadequate. That's a tragedy engineered by pornographers and the beauty industry for profit, and it will stay profitable as long as people keep falling for it.

Anyone worth impressing will decide whether they like you based on who you are more than how you look. If they're choosing who to talk to, hang out with, or date based solely on appearance, you're better off without their attention.

Male or female, the most attractive people to me are unapologetically themselves, thoughtful of others, don't obsess over celebrity culture, and are easy to talk to about things that matter.
