pleasers
Those who oblige
Pleasers are people or things whose purpose is to satisfy or delight others.
A people pleaser is someone who habitually prioritizes others' approval over their own needs, often to an unhealthy degree.
The term also refers to stripper heels—extremely tall platform shoes with clear acrylic construction, named for the brand that popularized them.
She wore eight-inch pleasers for her pole dancing class.
In compound forms, pleasers specify what they satisfy: crowd-pleasers entertain audiences, palate-pleasers satisfy taste.
