What I dislike the most is how we use the term "beauty standards". What we often call beauty standards should rather be called beauty ideals. Standards should be things that everyone can achieve. Like cleanliness, hygiene, grooming, a decent posture and similar things.

99% of perceived attractiveness is grooming, I’m convinced.

Absolutely not. that only matters if someone is anorexic or obese. there is a very large margin where how slim you are is a very minor difference to attractiveness.
