I am more accepting of flaws in people than in material objects. In people imperfections just seem like perfection. Like nature untampered.

Yes there’s a Buddhist term for this. It means nature is perfect how it is. I forget the term my friend told me it. I agree the same with humans and the quicker we realize it the better!!
I can’t accept judgemental people and that is a flaw tho. Maybe I still have work to do. But I’m judging people for being judgemental lol.

Yes, I feel the same. I think that visual art or sculpture has a different set of aims and intentions so an observer can be critical in way that he or she cannot with people. Beauty, for example, is entirely subjective and within the eye of the beholder. People’s imperfections and flaws actually give depth to their beauty because it adds mystery. A certain something that cannot be quantified.

I can accept that people have flaws. I can’t accept that they wouldn’t desire to try to improve upon them.

@anon80629714 this is not what is meant by flaws, for example not being able to function is a real flaw.
Not being able to look after yourself.
Now that’s a flaw!

Ok I will shut up. I used to have massive upper lip mole lol
I hate my beauty marks. I think if I had no beauty marks the girls would be all over me. But I have 2 on my neck that really are annoying…standing out in all the pictures. Im sure you all have noticed them, it looks like a vampire bit me. I remember the day I discovered it, I wasn’t born with it. They developed over a time.
I celebrate flaws in others.
To me it’s what makes people attractive and unique.
But I struggle to accept these same flaws in myself.
When I meet a strange or unconventional person, I love it. I can’t get enough weirdness.
However, I know I’m odd and constantly fear judgement.
Every time I see a woman with a full figure wearing cute clothes, I think they look great, but continue to beat myself up about the same 10-15lbs.
Wwwhhhyyyy?

Same here but both me and the women are bigger lol
ah flaws, yes, flaws are nice unless they cause problems in functioning.
I like the idea of wabisabi in Japanese aesthetics. Basically, cracks in ceramics are to be valued as signs of a long, good life. The slightly damaged as unique, not worthless.
I’d post a video about it, but it’s entangled with Buddhist sensibilities and I don’t want to get the thread locked or derail it by accident…just know that wabi sabi means that flaws are precious signs of life–perfectly natural imperfections
EDIT: finally found a non-spiritual source! KING OF THE HILL lol

I like natural, uncomplicated things.
Man made flawless objects have lost all their character.

I don’t like flaws but I learn to live with it. I’m not perfect so I can’t tell someone how to live there life. That’s how I treat people so I expect them (wishfully) to treat me the same way. I’ve had this philosophy for years. Since I was at least 10, going back farther maybe. (I used to be a philosophical child to say the least). So I suppose in a way I accept flaws.

I accept flaws especially if the person also have nice qualities. Everybody have flaws including me. Some people don’t accept flaws. They search for the perfect persons because they think they are perfect.
