Totally ready to take a ton of heat here as a straight arguably white man but I just dont get lip injections, specifically the ones where people look like ducks having an allergic reaction. I know it can be done more subtly to the point where it might not look obviously out of the norm but even then I still dont get it.
Specifically with the large puffy ones, do they think it makes them look better? Whenever I see it in the wild it looks horrendous from my pov. Are there dudes out there who are attracted to huge puffy lips? I understand the way others present their appearance is not for me, not everything cosmetically is done to be “attractive”, and my opinion doesn’t count but it just seems like a super strange choice.
Is there something Im missing about lip fillers? It just seems like an expensive way of looking weird.

There’s a certain group of people where this is the beauty standard in their echo chamber.
The part where you misunderstand is that it’s not meant to look like duck lips. It’s actually supposed to be a goose.
Goose lips for the women, and goose step for the men.
I imagine its a reverse survivor-ship bias - where the odd ones out who purposefully went for duck lips or had allergic reactions stick out like a sore thumb, and thus we don’t notice all the people that got subtle jobs done on their lips.
Similar to getting teeth done. We easily notice the people who got shiny white freakishly straight “Turkey Teeth”, but not the others who opted for more natural looking teeth replacements.
im down voting. I don’t feel this is unpopular.
The real key here is that there are 5 good lip injections for every duck face. The ratio is changing as the “style” has changed. But the real key is that good lip injections are not noticable. And overdone lip injections have become popular.
yeah im not changing my vote.
I don’t think there are any good lip injections. People with body dysmorphia may think so though.

I think you can probably just leave it there. I’m not dunking on you, either. I don’t know if it’s possible to understand everything people find attractive. The famous Napoleon telling Josephine to not wash? Horrifying to me. But I’ve met people IRL who dig that? Hope they find their match and live happily ever after. Humans are weird and wonderful, maybe not always both at the same time (in my opinion).
De gustibus non est disputandum.
But I don’t get a lot of plastic surgery either. Some people also put on enough make-up to trigger my fear of clowns… Some get the ugliest dog breed, buy the most hideous car model available… Dunno why they do it, but it’s a thing.
It makes young people all look like they are well into their 40’s
I get hem because the filler material pulls water in a way that prevents chapped lips. It’s awesome
I think you just talked me into it
I physically get nauseous whenever I see one. Feel like throwing up.
DSL bro.
Yeah, it looks horrible I agree.
It’s because it looks inhuman, or like they have an infection. I’ve seen a few horrendous examples and I question their sanity. It’s gross
Also downvoted for not being an unpopular opinion. I’m 100% with you on this.
I questioned this for myself too, my best guess was a doll fetish or something, where men are attracted by doll like women. It’s definitely not my thing.But to each there own I guess.
Is that what the labubus are based on?? Huh I never knew.
I’m a very gay goddess, and I think thinner lips are more attractive, because lips are gross and weird and I want to see less of them.
But I know a lady who thinks big cartoon lips are attractive, it’s one of her fetishes. I don’t understand it at all.
I hear its a status thing now…you get them because you can afford them. Quite weird.
Psychological viewpoint: engorging the lips may be a sign of low self-esteem or a feeling of oppression. Perhaps it is a hidden feeling of not having one’s voice heard, of being ignored at every step or a desire to be heard.
Yeah they suck
