Wanting to look good and be a 10/10 girl? Men specifically?

1000 replies

People always criticise others for caring about their looks, but let's face it, we all appreciate beauty and strive to look our best.

I feel as though most women can be seen as '10/10' if they have good hygiene and skin/make up, i.e the whitened teeth, hair extensions, glowy fake tan, slim and big breasts.

I feel like I have a few obvious flaws; small boobs is the main one, but also teeth and hair that could be 'glowed up'.

I see that 95% of the women on TikTok on Instagram with 100 - 500k followers are just slim, tanned women with big boobs. All different facial features, but heavily made up, thin and big boobs.

Am I being unreasonable to want to make myself look hotter by fixing my flaws?

I would make any decision for surgery for myself anyway, but I just wonder what peoples' thoughts are!

A friend of mine had a boob job around 15 years ago. They were good for a few years then started going wonky . She has since been over to turkey and back at least 5 times for operations to try and fix them but nothing seems to be working.
you are 30 and I don’t know if you have kids or are hoping to have kids in the future but pregnancy will totally change your boobs if you get pregnant. I went from a small c to a large d cup and they’ve stayed that size. I much preferred being smaller in size. So much easier to dress and I feel like I look matronly now.

I don't think people should belittle ops post. That's how she feels. If u are after the similar looking Essex type of guy with tattoos crazy teeth, no hair and constant fake tan (these guys also think this is whatvwoman want) then go for it. Imo opinion it's all a little sad for both the men and women who fall into these stereotypes but hey go for it but I don't think it's a path of happiness but if it makes u happy then who cares..

“Women only attract sleazy men if they choose to present themselves in a sleazy way.”

OP statements like this are what make you sound like a man.

Because I doubt any woman has gone through their life with sleazy man only ever approaching them when they were dressed in what you consider to be ‘sleazy’ clothes.

Sleazy men are never attracted (and wolf whistle at / male comments) to school girls in their uniform?

Sleazy men are never attracted to (and approach) women in the workplace wearing boring workwear?

Sleazy men are never attracted to (and say inappropriate things to) women working in jobs such as nursing in their uniforms which completely cover their breasts such as trouser scrubs?

Really?

ThisChic · 06/04/2025 12:18

@Bigblubird No. And I don’t have a ´stereotypically female job, either sex can do any job .

And I’m talking about on this thread what men find physically attractive and wanting to meet that. Not that big breasts are all that ´men’ think a woman has to offer.

@Stevejustarandommale Thanks for your post… but when you mention feeling forced to look good for a partner’, well you’re still assuming that all these influencers types ´look good’.

Thanks for your post. I don’t feel forced to do anything, I want to…

Your posts make me sad for you.

And tbh those big boobs, fake tans, ultra white teeth, heavy make up, extensions are not particularly attractive in real life. They make people look the same. Why would you want to loose your uniqueness? And in my very limited experience many that look like that end up with shallow misogynistic partners. But if looking like every other blown up, overly made up babe and having a shallow misogynistic partner are your goals in life then go for it. You don't need our permission.

And is this even real or just a half term wind up?

No it’s not a half term wind up. I don’t Even have children!

@Annoyingsquirrels I’ve read some of their studies….the men still voted smaller breasts as least attractive in the first one you mention, predictably 😅

But thank you.

You are objectifying all women by using absolutely appalling denigrating phrases such as 10/10 Girl.

Edited

I don’t like the idea of rating people and I certainly didn’t create it. But that is just the phrase that lots of men use to describe a woman they think is stunning/physically perfect.

Dervel · 06/04/2025 12:46

I mean you do you, but you are presenting these things as harsh truths to be faced. When actually you are objectively wrong. The world is actually much larger and more varied than you are presenting from your posts. However this is clearly your emotional reality for you.

Please consider finding your own humanity and confidence first before going under any knife. That decision isn’t going anywhere should you choose to make it, but I think you have some more pressing issues to resolve first. Can you list anything about yourself you are especially proud of?

ThisChic · 06/04/2025 12:47

@whathaveiforgotten Men who say things to school girls are pedophiles.

And I’m not blaming other women for what they wear. That post you’re refering to was my reply to someone accusing me of wanting attention from sleazy men with my boob job.

My son used to choose those types of women. When settling down he chose a naturally attractive woman whose prettiness was in her smile which lit up her face.
When looking at couples in general men prefer natural over fake.

By those types you mean very artifical looking?

How old are you OP? Someone mentioned you were 30. I don't know if this is true or not. If you're trying to appeal to the type of men who go after social media personalities, then you should be aware that they tend to see women over 30/35 as past their sell by date. I wouldn't waste my time and energy trying to appeal to these types of men.
Instead try and find a man who sees you as more than a pair of tits.

I’m 30. I look younger though, everyone tells me I look about 23-24, not that that matters.

The Incel types think 30 is past it, but I’m not trying to appeal to them..

There are men in their 30s and even 40s who want an attractive woman their own age…. 30s don’t look like old 😂Nothing wrong with getting old, but in my younger years I want to look good if I can.

I think I’ve mislead people into thinking I want to be objectified or ‘just seen as tits’….. I obviously don’t. I just want to be found sexy and breasts are a big part of that for lots of (most?) men. Men finding a woman attractive is not objectifying x

If you don't like rating people then don't do it!
If misogynistic men use the phrase doesn't mean you have to.
In fact you should be being vocal in calling them out for using it instead of jumping on the band wagon.

To look attractive to men? They’ll fuck anything, so don’t bother with too much effort 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately that's so true.

lonelynewname · 06/04/2025 13:06

They’re still going to wank over small
tits too so it actually doesn’t matter if we’re going to boil it all down to what this is actually about.

The best thing that is going to happen to you is the passage of time when you look back in 10 years and think about how you gave two shits about what a man thinks about your boobs.

You said that “Women only attract sleazy men if they choose to present themselves in a sleazy way.”

Are you admitting now that that is in fact not true?

No, that's not what I meant, probably didn't explain properly sorry. That's the media's and the influencers idea of looking good. I don't agree with that at all.

Mollysocks · 06/04/2025 13:45

Fancycheese · 04/04/2025 20:54

And yes. Agreed. This is a very good point. Male validation is not a prize. They’ll fuck a hole in the wall. Or a couch, if you happen to be a certain vice president.

honestly we’re socialised to compete for male attention, but it’s really not worth it.

Or also, as is the reason why many morgues don’t hire men, dead bodies.

This look screams ‘tacky and try hard to me’

Well it would be nice if a man/some men could genuinely think I look beautiful/hot as I am but I think overall for 95% of the younger male population (by young I mean under 40) by breasts would be a huge flaw and turn off.

This is tiresome. You've pulled that 95% number out of your arse and are doggedly sticking to your position that the vast majority of men have identikit sexual tastes. I'm not sure why you're refusing to accept otherwise.

HaddyAbrams · 06/04/2025 14:02

Thinking about my couple friends under 40, most of them are women with smaller breasts. The men seem very happy in their relationships.

Hortus · 06/04/2025 14:09

Despite over 600 replies it appears you haven't listened to anything being said on this thread, either by a few men or by hundreds of women who are in relationships with men who think they're the sexiest woman in the world.

You are obsessed by the size of your breasts( which at B aren't even that small!) and seem to think that with fake big ones a whole new world of men is going to be available to you and all your dreams will come true. This is unlikely to happen.

You need to learn that you are more than your mammary glands. Sexiness comes not just from the breasts but a whole host of other things, face, arms, legs, skin, the way you move, your eyes, smile, voice, laugh, your whole being. You clearly have massive problems with self-esteem, and as several have recommended, would be much better served by having therapy than by having surgery.

OfNoOne · 06/04/2025 14:19

You don't need bigger breasts, fake teeth, hair extensions, etc. @ThisChic . You need therapy to help you see that you're worth more than this.

Forget looks for a minute. Think about yourself as a person - your good qualities, your passions, your personality... Looks don't matter a fraction as much as those all matter, when it comes to people who will actually make your life better.

If my bra size is my defining feature for someone, then I have zero interest in them.

I certainly don't think 30s is old but I still think to some men (the type that go for social media influencer types with big boobs, glossy hair and dazzling white teeth) it's getting on a bit. So I'm not sure why you'd want to deliberately attract those sort of men.
Anyway, you're ignoring everyone who says big boobs aren't as important as you think. I'm 50, so I've been around 20 years longer than you. Throughout my life I've heard dozens of men say they like "a handful" when it comes to breasts. I have loads of male friends who talk very openly to me and I don't think any of them are into big breasts. They all like the average, handful size.
I kind of think you get the breasts that suit your body. For example, someone with a lean athletic figure would look strange with big boobs.
Anyway, if you want to do it, go for it. It's your body. Just don't expect life to magically change, apart from getting more men looking at your chest instead of your face.
