Oh girl, DO NOT set your standards to what you think is “popular opinion.” Often times popular opinion is trash. You are beautiful, sexy, feminine, radiant! Those characteristics come from the inside and show on the outside.

I'm not even sure we know what popular opinion even is versus what gets boosted by profit-motivated algorithms. We do know that often what is portrayed on social media isn't accurate... in order to gain followers for brand deals, but I'm not sure if anyone has much idea how much popular opinion dictates what we see in our feeds.

I think it’s probably the exaggerated features of women that men are biologically attracted to at the root of their instinct, but the unrealistic expectations are now widespread thought to be normal even if those looks were achieved through plastic surgery, makeup and filters.

Oh absolutely! Social media is absolutely causing havoc on everyone's self image because what we're presented with constantly is way more extreme than it is common... but we also don't really know if people find that actually attractive or if it's all mainly boosted to us to sell products. I really feel terrible for preteens and teenagers being bombarded with all this while their brains and personalities are still forming...

Definitely bad for the brain. I think quite a lot of men and women don’t even realize so much of what is on typical social media is exaggerated or fake. The Kardashian family has definitely had a huge influence on beauty standards for women and a lot of men are looking for that. More shallow men definitely have their preferred type, but then a lot of more sophisticated men calculate personality into attraction and are probably more attuned to what social media is doing.

Absolutely! It's so wild that in just a couple of hundred years we've gone from villages where you'd maybe know 50-100 people your entire life to big cities to now a globalized media center where we're seeing hundreds of videos every day of the most extraordinary people. Our brains have had no time to evolve at all.
