‘What’s something society says is unattractive that you secretly find really attractive?’ – 23 unconventional ways to be hot

Beauty, in both men and women, is often deemed to fit within a very narrow set of parameters. TV, films and social media tell us there are a limited number of ways to look good, and everything else is apparently ugly.

But, luckily, not everyone is so closed minded. Over on the AskReddit page, user Zyzzbrah55 asked this:
