Not a beauty standard per se, but I don’t like tattoos one bit.
It used to be “rebellious” to have a tattoo, but nowadays it seems like everyone has one - so maybe the truly rebellious thing now is not having them.

I don't think tattoos have been about rebellion in a long time. It's just art for your body.
Depends on your background. If you're from a Jewish or Muslim family pearls will be clutched.

I dislike most artificial "enhancements" to boost your attractiveness.
Things like fake lashes, hair extensions, fake nails, breast implants, BBLs, lip injections, botox, and so on. This also extends for me to things like overly excessive tattoos, piercing, and makeup.
I personally like people who look and feel real. I don't want to date a mannequin. It's a okay to have flaws, nobody is perfect. Your flaws are a part of your charm.
"Beauty has to be gendered"
I think you don't need to "look like a man" or "look like a woman" to be pretty

What always disturbs me, and it seems worryingly prevalent on The Apprentice, is drawn-on eyebrows.

Fish lips.
I would’ve said the tanning obsession, for health reasons, but that’s changed over the years.
I like my women dry, leathery, and dark like beef jerky 😋
This is kind of a gross thread. It’s just “hey fellas, tell me all the ways you can find women unattractive. Make sure to really communicate how upsetting it is you, because remember, that’s what this is really all about.”
Agreed BUT TBF he did not make a reference to women. It could apply to man too. Which is also stupid because it doesn't matter who you are you have the right to be what and how you want!

Ugh, I HATE when women present themselves in ways they like. They should be focused on appealing to ME, a man they aren't attracted to in the slightest.

Beards. I never understood why some women find it so sexy. But I am okay with people having different tastes. What is icky is that some women have made such a huge deal about them that it gets borderline unfair for men who don’t want to bother with grooming or those who cannot grow a full beard.

Fake eye lashes. Holy God do they look stupid but somehow are so normalized. No idea how some women find the courage to walk outside with what look to me like Muppet eyes.
For the love of God ladies, tone it down. Your eyes are beautiful as they are! Mascara is one thing, but if I feel a fucking breeze every time you blink, it’s gone too far.
You have it backwards. As with all things beauty, it isn't about having the courage to do it - doing it gives you courage and confidence.

Thick butts. No thank you. A little bump is nice, but most of what's out there is gross, and with a surface resembling asteroid impact craters.
