American beauty standard

While going to check my yahoo mail I randomly clicked on an article on Prince William not recognizing Camilla as a step-grandmother to his children. That’s great, the bitch did wreck his parents’ marriage and got his mom murdered. Anyway, that’s not the point. I go straight to the comment section. It never fails to amuse me when there’s always that one American questioning how do Brits manage to always have bad teeth if they have universal healthcare? Unfortunately I’ve had this question myself plenty of times. Apparently it’s because dental care isn’t covered under NHS. It’s privatized. Ok great but this is ultimately about the richest people in the UK having “bad teeth.” That brought on a discussion of how the beauty standard over there isn’t slapping on braces and straight teeth like it is over here. Americans often associate crooked teeth with bad teeth cause we’re artificial as fuck.

I’m kind of tired of it. But then on TikTok you see these incredible makeup transformations especially by Asians who try to improve their bone structure, skinnier nose, bigger/brighter eyes - ALL THROUGH MAKEUP! Like man I don’t even know how to put on eyeshadow…



Idk all this kind of makes me feel a certain way. Like do I feel bad for the insecurity behind all this that people shouldn’t be feeling or the fact that society as a whole has been part of pressuring/expecting women to look a certain way which is becoming more and more revolting. Idk.

I’m personally envious of people who’ve managed to figure out what suits their natural, bare skin because skin sensitivity is a very real issue.

About the article . Why did Camilla break his parents marriage? Wasn’t that Charles job ?

Yeah Charles shouldn’t have married Diana to begin with but Camilla was still an active participator after their marriage. Most men already suck but women also don’t like to look out for each other.

Yes it’s lowest vibration to fuck married men. But I hate how women blame the side chick instead of the man who made the vows. So much for “looking out for women”.

He’s the only one responsible for his marriage point blank.

I always blame the married person too but I swear most women are always competing for attention (whether blatant or not) on who can get a man’s attention better whether he’s married or not, it’s so disturbing. Just go on the marriage and relationship subreddits on Reddit… endless content around the matter.

Charles wasn't allowed to marry Camilla because of a Draconian system. She wasn't a virgin, simple as. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Charles had an affair with one woman who was the love of his life. Lady Di couldn't keep her hands off men, I could understand James Hewitt he's good looking and Al Fayed is loaded, but a heart doctor for the NHS. Might as well have sucked off a brickie.

Are you talking about Diana’s promiscuous phase after the divorce? Cause I’ve personally seen it in real life. Pretty girls who’ve married young and as a virgin only to get cheated on or not cared for in a marriage… they can end up going through a promiscuous phase after the divorce due to the destroyed self-esteem from the marriage. I don’t blame them at all.

Isn’t it creepy how everybodys starting to look the same ?

Someone blamed the Kardashians, not agreeing or disagreeing, just saying

I swear EVERYONE looks the same to me now, especially on social media but it’s not dying out so clearly there is a huge demand for this. Who is behind the demand? Our dads, brothers, uncles? 😬

Dental care isn’t privatised in the UK and it is covered by the NHS. A lot of people don’t pay anything at all. Adults would pay about £25 for a check up (as Alex says), up to £66 for the next band of treatment (things like fillings) and then £283 for more complex things like bridges, crowns, dentures, etc.

Even privately though a check up would only be £50 in my area.

This ‘bad teeth’ thing is only cosmetic, the UK apparently has better oral health than the US with less inequality. https://dentistry.co.uk/2022/06/01/the-history-of-oral-health-a-25-year-perspective/

And famous people do of course get veneers and things like that here, just about everyone on TV has them or at least whitening. I don’t know why the royal family are a bit of an exception.

I know this is repeating a bit of what you’re saying OP.

I thought orthodontics such as braces weren’t covered under NHS or if it is there’s a very long wait list?

As a general rule I only care about someone’s opinion of me if you are feeding me, fucking me, or paying me. So far has served me well in this life.

I definitely agree with this which is why I’m always in my own bubble but I still like to understand the average mindset and mentality behind all this since there are many who go out of their way for so little.

See these kind of generalizing statements are super harmful and don’t “look out for women”. You haven’t met most women and cannot say that most women compete for attention.

Talk to people irl, not Reddit 🤖

He wasn’t put in jail . He wanted the money and power and position. He could have made his choice or be open about it to whom ever he would marry.

She couldn’t keep her hands off men because she had no man in her marriage. Simple.

Point is if it was the other way round say if Diana was in love with someone before she married Charles and the same thing happened and Charles had a few affairs. People would say Charles couldn't keep it in his pants. Total double standard.

I agree. Diana was man crazy. She couldn't be without one.

I say Camilla gets what she deserved related to the grandchildren. The kids ( William & Harry) have nothing to do with the parents behavior and she was a homewrecker. They ended up losing their mom, can you blame them? Bad enough they have to accept her as Queen. I lay blame on Charles not her, but still it ends up the same.

Dental coverage sucks in the US and braces are rarely covered. It’s expensive. I’m sure glad my parents paid for it though, a missing tooth cause all kinds of chaos in my situation. This whitening teeth stuff looks so weird tho in my opinion.. especially in young people.

My Gemini sun/Cancer moon older brother gave me this advice years ago—if they don’t fuck you, feed you, or finance you, they can fuck off! Lol I love him so much….

Yes and even then it’s a case to case basis. Cause the opinion of a dead end job employer or a ons don’t mean shit

That’s why I say general rule 😆
