Reminder for those that comment that hate and rude comments are against the community’s rules
Frankly this whole thread is kind of fucked dude
Yea. There is “having personal tastes” but a lot of these comments are just straight up judgmental of other people’s choices of personal expression and using this post as an excuse to espouse some pretty harmful rhetoric.
Tabs over spaces, always
… wait, you’re asking in asklemmy, not programming…
Uhhh… that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc
I read an article / listened to a podcast where a visually impaired person said that tabs are much better because they can configure how wide they are rendered to better accommodate them and now In would prefer to use tabs. Still all customers i have seem to use only spaces.
Tabs were literally designed for indenting, as far as I can tell.
Not really, surprisingly. The “tab” terminology is a hangover from the typewriter days, when pressing the tab key would move your carriage to the left (i.e. sending the typing position towards the right) to the point where the tab stop was, which may or may not have been user configurable depending on the age or fanciness level of your typewriter. On mechanical models this involved sliding a little arrowhead shaped mechanical dingus up at the top over the carriage, a skeuomorph that’s still present in basically every computer word processing application even today.
This was to allow operators to easily write tabular data, i.e. tables or columns, which would be inset from the left margin by a consistent amount, and typically much further inboard than the indent at the beginning of a paragraph would be. The latter was usually accomplished with a small number of spaces instead. And this is why the key is called “tab” and not “ind” or something.
This got carried over to word processors and then to computers kind of by default. But interestingly (if you’re the right kind of nerd to be interested by that sort of thing, anyway) early 8 bit microcomputers that were not envisaged with word processing or a typewriter-esque paradigm in mind conspicuously lacked a tab key. The Commodore 64 and Vic 20, TI-99, Acorn Electron, and certainly the ZX Spectrum all leap to mind.
But the original IBM PC definitely had a tab key, which was almost certainly carried directly over from IBM’s Selectric typewriters. So we’ve had it ever since. The notion of there being a “tab character” of some greater-than-space width lent it to being used for first line indents for a while, but the prominence of HTML and its dogged insistence on collapsing whitespace – especially at the beginning of lines – eventually put a stop to that and caused practically everybody to switch to double line breaks to separate paragraphs instead. Except for writing code, which can involve a whole bunch of indentation to many, many levels of depth.
Indenting the starts of paragraphs was an even older hangover from printing presses, and that’s another whole damn rabbit hole anyway.
I am more into spaces, but as long as the indentation is done consistently i can tolerate tabs.
I mean, how could using tabs not be consistent when only comparing to spaces? Seems to me like spaces give infinitely more opportunity to fuck up indentation.

Do you mean styling baby hairs?
Yes! Thats it!
She got six eyebrows and a widows peak!
I also hate those.
Thanks i hate it
Overalls. Can’t handle em
Overalls are awesome. Especially when worn by a handsome guy without a shirt underneath.
How are overalls beauty standard 🤣🤣🤣
Edit: Also, I think Karen Allen wore overalls at least once in Indiana Jones. Kinda hot, in an unpolished way.
Those are coveralls. Or a jumpsuit, depending.
These are overalls:
Where in the world are overalls the hottest thing?
My favorite people, and probably yours too are not 10/10 hotties. The people I want to spend time with are funny and kind.
Chasing ‘beauty standards’, I feel, is a waste of your human potential. That time can be better used building friendships and community. Isn’t that what most people really want?
If people focused their time there instead, maybe they would feel more accepted, confident and worthy instead of trying to shortcut their way to perceived success by altering their bodies. I find it sad that the digital age has pushed humanity so deeply in to ‘comparative society’.
Confidence is the hottest most attractive thing to me in the end.
It can go too far in the opposite direction, though. I was raised in an environment where men doing literally anything besides showering a bit was gay.
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.
Big boobs.
What always disturbs me, and it seems worryingly prevalent on The Apprentice, is drawn-on eyebrows.
On the one hand, it does look weird up close, or if done poorly. On the other I can see the potential in being able to have whatever kind of eyebrows you want to go with your look.
I’ve always disliked plastic surgery, botox and heavy makeup. But that’s normal enough
My real hot take is I am disgusted by long, fake nails. They make my skin crawl. They’re so cumbersome, I truly don’t understand how people love with them
I truly don’t understand how people love with them
Very carefully.
Same on both of those!
You and me on both counts dude, fuuuuuu—
So disgusting. And it looks sooo fake, like they don’t even make an effort to look real. They are thick as a bear claw bruh, looks like some fungus growing under them talons, Jesus. Get that nasty shit out of here.
This response makes me take back what I said about your intent in my other comments. This thread is gross dude.
Absolutely yes to the nails. Those are disguising and very impractical
Yes to all of these.
welcome to the evening news, man creates thread so he can bitch about Black women. more at 5 when he phones back in to say how he’s entitled to his opinion.
wow holy racist batman
The racist is the one bitching about long nails, a predominant standard of beauty in black culture, and how much it makes them uncomfortable.
Like, no one needs to hear your judgement of someone else’s choice of personal expression. Ever heard the phrase “ain’t got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”? This is where that applies.
Long nails are a thing with women of all races. I wouldn’t call it predominantly black. I’d call it predominantly tacky.
Truly ironic people are trying to say you’re the racist for calling someone else out for espousing racist rhetoric.
Go outside and get a life. How can you be so miserable.

When they’re done badly, it’s very noticeable and terrible. When they aren’t done, it’s fine. Not everybody is looking for curves and puffy lips. Presumably, there’s a bunch you never notice, but on the balance that’s not a very good record.
Long hair.
Shorter is better.
Do-ups and buns and things are nice, too. The history of using them for modesty tells me that’s a minority opinion.
No I get it. Hair that’s put up in a messy way, so that there’s a few stray strands that fall along the face and neck… Strangely hot.
I agree. Then again, I’m a certified lesbian.
Where can one get certified? Asking for a friend.
I’m bi and I’m attracted to short hair on girls and long hair on guys hahaha
That’s a hot take, ngl.
I don’t like big boobs almost ever.
thanks to all the men in the comments providing women with a free incel blocklist. your opinion may be useless, but at least no one appreciates you.
God forbid that people have opinions… Life could be fun, but we don’t want that! Seriously, your only reason for existence on social media seems to make other people’s day worse. That is miserable.
aww thank you. you just made my day hearing I make incels miserable. i hope you stay that way
Lol you’re catching some votes but we’ve strayed from what OP was asking.
OP asking about beauty standards and people are straight up saying shit like “overalls” and “big boobs”.
Not bad opinions on their own but far from beauty standards
Big boobs are absolutely a common beauty standard. That’s why breast enlargement surgery exists. Overalls are not, however.
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.”
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.
This
What I noticed in the top comments is also that many of the beauty standards mentioned are racialized, either appropriated or just plain racial. (E.g. thick lips, the hair curlies, the thin/drawn on eyebrows).
🙃
Totally. This thread is filled with casual misogyny and racism.
Women? Not only op didn’t set any sex or gender constraints, but for what it’s worth, disagreeing with a beauty standard doesn’t mean you necessarily find it unattractive. It just means you don’t think it’s the right standard.
For me, I disagree about perfectly white teeth. I prefer the ivory shades, not yellow, just ivory. I steer clear of any tooth whitening products.
Just read the responses. They’re proof enough. OP did not likely intend this but it was always the inevitable outcome unfortunately. Look at the sheer number of people poking specifically at collagen in the lips. Most of what is stated is clearly things women generally do.
This is basically a table of predominantly dudes griping about what they find unattractive in women, rather than critically assessing the beauty standards society/culture is unfairly putting on all of us. The latter is what I imagine OP intended, but the former is clearly what came of it.
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!
“Beauty standards” pretty heavily slants the answers dude lol
I don’t see it. I don’t find it gross at all, and wouldn’t find the opposite version gross either if I saw it on c/womensstuff or something.
Ok then we disagree. That’s fine.
Yeah but I’m a lady and can comment lol it’s doesn’t specify the gender
I mean…it sure baits a one-sided, gendered response lol
The thread is also almost exclusively talking about how women dress/style themselves.
No it doesn’t, that’s your paranoia and your own preconceptions speaking.
Paranoia
What…?
There are mentions of beards, full public bush, overly white teeth, and tats. This thread isn’t just about women.
Man you have a pretty selective filter not even mentioning the several times makeup and collagen/lip filler came up, both of which dominated the thread. How dishonest.
“Big asses,” too skinny, not skinny enough, too much makeup, curls/hair extensions (racially coded AF), Botox, lip filler, I mean it’s relentless dude.
One guy said “fake anything. Boobs, lips, butt.” The vast majority of the comments are some variation of this. That ain’t about men my dude.
I want you to honestly look at this thread and tell me what percentage of the comments you think are by straight white dudes. You’re going to scoff at that challenge but you know I’m right. This thread is gross as fuck.
I don’t get why people try to hide freckles. They’re so unique!
Lip injections make me think of those wax lips they used to give out for Halloween
Thanks. I’ve been wondering what Marilyn Manson has been up to lately.
