[@SlapShotTakes]

Hearing her saying that women are more attracted to guys who are standing in the rain romantically than guys with muscles reminded me of the time a girl in my Engineering class said “He has to be taller than me, like even when I’m in high heels. I would literally leave him at the altar if I was wearing high heels and he was shorter.” I feel like the unrealistic body standards go both ways.

[@manicmuffin]

​@@SlapShotTakes There's a difference between systemic marginalization and individual incidents of ignorance.

[@ghostlandered]

​@@manicmuffinWell said and I agree. However, systemic marginalization is often built upon individual incidents of ignorance. Just as many young women are putting so much stock into their youth, many young men are also putting too much stock into their appearance, especially height. While the marginalization is not nearly as deep or concerning (aside from the horrible height increasing procedure) the internet seems to be rapidly accelerating all young peoples negative perception of themselves. As a 32 yr old short guy, I can say height and age are not nearly as important as simply living life and not worrying. People, youth especially, really need to understand that the beauty standards portrayed by the internet, media, and ignorant loud mouths should mostly be ignored. I say mostly because I think it is beneficial to preserve youth through healthy natural means such as exercise, avoiding cigarettes, excessive alcohol consumption, stress etc. I wish I spent more of my youth less worried about my appearance and height, I know I would have been much happier and more successful with dating. There is an attractiveness that comes from not caring so much about what how you look or how you're perceived. A guy standing in the rain romantically doesn't care how tall he is, what his hair looks like, or how many wrinkles anyone has, he doesn't even care if his socks are wet. It's sad because there are many young men that think themselves as almost less than human for being short, and many young women that will have a literal mental breakdown when they inevitably get their first wrinkle, and none of it really matters.

[@kitsterangel]

I mean it's true that aging for men is more societally acceptable, men actually do age "better", at least skinwise. The epidermis has more layers in men (literally have thicker skin) which means they get less sun damage and therefore age more slowly. Also why women bruise more easily than men! But then balding is an issue so it's not all pros 😅

A good rule of thumb for the amount of water you **need** to drink daily while sedentary (but you should always aim for more, exercise and heat can double that requirement) is 1ml for every 1 cal you need to maintain your weight. The rest, assuming you eat a relatively normal diet, should be able to come from your food. For example: To maintain my current weight, I eat about 1500 calories a day, so that's 1.5 liters of water **required** to stay reasonably healthy. What I should aim for is about 2 liters, 2.5L-3L if I'm exercising a lot

@babydyke I mean, if the ingredient list is good, then that kind of skincare is still good, even for young skin. It's just that it does nothing anti-aging because there's nothing to anti-age. Plus, yeah, it's definitely sad to see a child thinking they already need to do sth about their future probable wrinkles and fine lines. But if she used the serum just cuz she researched ingredients online, found them to be medically proven and thought it'd be a good one to use, there's no problem (was the case for an18 yo me baaack in high school, I have dry skin and so I was looking for certain ingredients I knew my skin liked in one package, only found them in an "anti aging" cream, which was just a nice hydrating moisturizer). Also, retinol, as u said, is one of the very best, but it's more than 24 hours, it's several days (5?7?) during which u should limit sun exposure and wear a strong enough sunscreen - it makes your skin a bit more sensitive to the sun but sun protection is imperative for skin cancer prevention anyways, so for many it doesn’t change much. I believe it's a good thing to take care of your skin at any age, it simply shouldn't be done out of fear but out of love.

It gets even more upsetting when you realize that a lot of the beauty standards that young girls and women are pressured or even forced to adhere to are rooted in p*dophilia.

And now young girls are being convinced that they aren’t young and youthful enough. It’s sick and deeply predatory.

it goes beyond anti wrinkles too, it ventures into the sexualization of young girls. wanting to look young and have no wrinkles, but at the same time sexualizing your body and making yourself look older with makeup for men and boys alike.

While taking care of your skin IS a good thing (I.e. using moisturizer and sunscreen to keep your skin hydrated and protected against the danger of skin cancer), spending countless dollars on beauty products and treatments to reduce wrinkles is honestly just depressing to contemplate (like, doing it because you _enjoy_ it does not compare to doing because you fear being treated subhumanly due to looking older). Aging well is a beautiful way to show you live a full life, taking care of one's skin doesn't have to mean trying constantly to erase any sign you aged at all... unfortunately society still prefers anyone who looks female to look as young as possible (to the point where it can dip into uncanny valley territory). Also, an amazing and simple way to help keep skin healthy _without_ all the skin creams is literally just drinking plenty of clean water so overall you're healthier and your skin is more elastic. I know not everyone in the world has access to clean drinking water (which is frankly heartbreaking), but for anyone who _does_ have the option to drink plenty of water, it really does help!

It genuinely makes me feel so, so sad that there's people so afraid of aging they'll do anything and everything to keep themselves "young". Aging is proof you're human. This is in no way an attack on people who do skincare, but the anti-aging campaign is such an extreme form of it... And it's surprising to see how much they'll do if even a single pore looks out of place. :( I hope everyone in this comment section knows they're beautiful regardless of wrinkles, stretch marks or even cellulite.

I'm a biology major and dudebros claiming "It's just biology that causes me to creep on young women" is such bullshit. There is way more to sexuality and mate selection than perceived fertility. In fact, male baboons have been observed rejecting younger female baboons for being "low status" by baboon standards, which varies by troop. I'd recommend to anyone interested to read "A Primates Memoir" by Robert Sapolsky, a great easy read with some excellent perspectives from a dork ass biologist in the field observing wild baboons and comparing their lives to his own :-)

When I was in my early 20s, I used to give a little credence to these dudebros' assertions. I would still think the behavior was creepy and something to be resisted, but mostly natural. Now that I'm 30, I realize that I do NOT find people in their early 20s all that attractive. I like the look of people my own age, because I associate it with equal mental maturity and experience. I see people who are 21 and think of them more as a younger person. An adult with residual teen brain. I just don't feel attraction to them. I realize how full of shit the 30-something men who go for young women are.

[@MadiTayl]

This whole argument is strange from both sides to me. We don't need data from bonobos, or birds, or any other animal. We have plenty of data to show us that Male Homosapiens have ( on average) always preferred younger women. That doesn't make it ethical or ok, but I don't understand why people are trying to argue that there isn't a biological imperative. Why can't we accept the reality that it is biologically driven and then work forward from that? Humans have overcome their own biological pitfalls time and time again. But we'll never overcome it if we pretend it doesn't exist.

I don't use tiktok or any other social media so I can just laugh at these pathetic idiots being terrified of aging. Because the truth is is that you will get old. You cannot stop it. Take good care of your skin yes. But don't fight against something that is completely natural. There is nothing wrong with looking old. Wrinkles will show that you have lived your life.
