I see pictures of people on tinder that are so smooth and unreal it's fucking creepy. Like to a point where the nose disappears and the eyes are in front of the hair, because they are not real. And i know this is often a social media thing and a body dysmorphophobia problem, but i also wonder who looks at these pictures and goes: ahh yes, the perfect women
i feel this about most famous women who are said to be soooo attractive, like yeah sure angelina jolie isn't ugly but come on how is she more attractive than a normal person? Same goes for bodybuilder guys, it's so patently fake and harmful to their bodies!
at least the male hollywood standard can be somewhat sensible, george clooney looks like a real human person even if he's the equivalent of a freshly groomed schnauzer.
but really, the most attractive people i've seen are just normal people on the street, and that's without counting the fact that you can actually feasibly get into a relationship with them and they might actually be pleasant to be around.
I can see that bodybuilders are not attractive to most people, but how are their bodies 'fake'? Getting to look like that is hard work, and not just a matter of money, makeup and plastic surgery.
Either it's women using filters to touch up their images, or it's AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate app userbases and make it look like there are actually women on the platform....
