I’m going to be very honest here, as pick-me as this might sound. I’m not going to lie and say that I don’t care what men like and go on that whole tangent of “everything I do is for myself” because it isn’t. Evolutionarily, it is not possible for the female mind to be totally unfocused on finding a partner. So, can I ask, what do men genuinely want in a woman? Information in the media is so conflicting. Men will thirst over instagram models and celebrities like they are the most beautiful women to exist (think Sydney Sweeney, Sabrina Carpenter, Sophie Rain, etc) but then say that the all-natural look is best. In reality, none of these women are natural. I’m not hating on having this preference, if you like these women, that’s totally fine. But as a woman, I recognize they’ve all had subtle but distinct work done to their faces/bodies. So is it really “all natural/girl next door” or is it “enhancements, but totally undetectable”? I am genuinely asking. There is no sarcasm intended. I have struggled for a long time with understanding why men don’t approach me. I’m young, decently fit, a nice person. Not the most beautiful woman in the world, but I would say I’m objectively attractive. Sometimes I give off the vibe of being mean, which I’ve been told, but it’s only the shyness. Is it the fact that I have an aura of unapproachability that I don’t get spoken to? If so, what do I do to make myself seem more approachable? I feel like I’m going crazy here. What I’m really asking is, do I need to look like an instagram model to get attention? Do I need to “enhance” my features? Is this the bare minimum now? submitted by /u/CerealKiller129
