> People's eyes are so used to Instagram people that they think less attractive people are less healthy

Instagram has little to do with that; the two-way association between perceived health and attractiveness is deeply ingrained (the exact extent to which it is a very ancient feature of culture vs. an evolved biological trait independent of culture, I don't know, but it's one or both of those things.)

See a professional makeup artist and see how he can improve your attractivness without improving your health.

Go to interviews/dates/event with and without professional makeup and compare your success rate.


But you're agreeing with the parent, unless you're still arguing that this perception stems from Instagram, rather than the other way around?
