I can't even get past step 3 in a skincare routine

Beauty industry are selling mostly snake oil anyway. Why don't moids try wearing makeup themselves if they love it so much. Oh WAIT!

>>22373
>Beauty routines
>Tattoos

Do people think this? I understand the others have been marketed as "beauty" enhancements (even though they look trashy), but tattoos are retarded and trashy. Most millennials I know were brainwashed by movies of the 90s-00s to get tattoos, and when you point this out to them, they get defensive and say words to the effect of "I would never be brainwashed. I studied critical thinking. Tattoos are a way to express myself and you're just perpetuating outdated standards." They never wonder what made those standards 'outdated'…

>>22386
You just sound like a miserable ass person to be around if you see someone with a tat and think they're brainwashed. What would be the point of 'brainwashing' someone to do that? Do you think there's some sort of huge conspiracy in which big ink is putting subliminal messages in shows to make people wanna get tattoos or something

>>22387
+1.
My only qualm with tattoos is that you're slathering inorganic ink onto your body, and the process seems unbelievably painful. I've heard of one youtuber whose tattoo resulted in chronic pain because of the stuff inside e.g heavy metals.

>>22373
Same here, I honestly can't be bothered to do all that.
I shower, brush my hair and I think I look great.
Maybe I don't look as super pretty as women who really put effort into their appearance, but I'm fine with that.
That woman in the screenshot?
I think she looks great too.

They're probably just holding the pudge back with their stomach muscles. I have a flat stomach while lying down, but standing up there's a little bit of pudge unless I hold it back (which I do bc I'm self-conscious of it as well).

flat stomach girl here, straight up its from not eating. i take adhd meds which makes me forget to eat/it does some weird metabolic shit and drink a lot of coffee which makes me shit after eating. no woman’s stomach is gonna be flat like a man’s due to where the uterus is also how is your posture?

i just clean them out w a wet q tip

There's scar gels sold online and at your local pharmacy. I've never tried it so I can't opine on its efficacy but I think they're for recent scars or surgical procedures you might want to check that out. If it's seriously fucked up scars then I've known women to get a tattoo to cover up a bad scar from a car crash and another that got light teeny tiny scars tattooed with her skin color like others do with their eyebrows. You could also try cocoa butter some say it works others say it don't, some say it works for stretch marks others don't and in any case the scar gels are supposed to be better.

>>22380
Yeah I'm thinking laser, I've tried so many exfoliating products and it only does so much.

How bad can it be? Are you a sk8ergrrl or rollerblader? And is it the accumulation over time of shaving nips or are you cutting far and long with the razor? It sounds like you're shaving dry. Have you ever seen a dermatologist about it?

>Does any woman actually like lingerie
Yes, I think lingerie on other people looks nice.
>Does any woman like wearing lingerie
Yeah, that too.
I like wearing lingerie when it's cute and comfortable. Same with pyjamas, hair clips, cute pencils, phone wallpapers, whatever, if it's cute and causes no discomfort, that's all the reason I need.
All a matter of taste and mood. If I wanna feel fancy, I'll wear lace, if I'm more in a mood for sth cute, I'll wear my underwear set with little bows on it. I also have silk underwear which is so fancy and comfy, I should probably buy more of it… Whether I put that much time in picking out the perfect underwear for the day depends entirely on how much time and money I have for little things like that though. I usually just wear whatever. I probably have way too many socks but I love them.
>g-strings
I've tried out a tanga once and decided to never wear that again, too uncomfy. No way I'd wear something similar that looks even more uncomfortable.

>>22170
>(idk if he buy them for a girl in the past or whatever)
You're more graceful than I would be about it.

I have been unable to pick out why the hentai outfits drew his attention. They don't flatter a woman at all, just look "unique"? One of them looks like the Borat swimsuit, I hate it. Some of them he showed me were some hentai volleyball video game he played as a kid. Like why did artist decide these were nice?

>>21930
I loveee this kind of lingerie. It's so pretty and I would honestly wear corsets/gowns like this out if men didn't exist. Hate any kind of thin string underwear though.

>>22336
yo girl, that's disgusting. Don't let a disgusting man like that defile you with his hentai projections.

>>21174
I have small tits and I get sweaty under them and get red lines under them sometimes and I hate it, I can not imagine what it must be like if they're bigger

>>21174
I wish I wasn't a B.

>>21847
you coffee drinking, bread-eating normies
Dangerously based
I banned bread and sugar from my life and never looked back, but only half a watermelon wouldn't even get me halfway through the morning. A trip to Turkey years ago redpilled me about rice, salmon and yogurt breakfasts.

>I've also seen a 20 year old with big boobs and high roots/high projection whose tits reached their belly button.
Me. They've been like this since I was like 13. Sucks.
People don't really bother me about them though, I stopped wearing bras in my 20s and have always worn a lot of jackets so rather than my boobs standing out, I just look fat. I used to really hate my breasts, especially when my fucking school made me do long distance running (I AM NOT BUILT FOR RUNNING FUCK OFFF it makes my breasts hurt if I don't wear like 2 uncomfy sport bras I hate bras so much and I hate running even more why is it considered the default sport, I'd rather swim and cycle a triathlon distance, I'd rather climb a fucking mountain and sword fight a yeti, every single other sport is a million times better, I bet my ancestors were doing heavy lifting and working the fields instead of running after wild animals) but I feel better about them now.
My breasts are floppy af so I avoid running (if I need to go somewhere fast, I'll cycle, inline skate or steal someone's horse; if I sprint I legit have to hold my breasts steady with one arm and I'll be running straight to whoever made me run so I can fucking murder them) but most of the time I just ignore them, just like my nose. Just tuning it out of my peripheral vision. I've thought about getting a reduction (I think insurance would cover it at my size) but I don't have the guts to get surgery if it's not life-saving in some way and since my shitty breasts have kinda grown on me, it's not that big of a deal to just keep things the way they are. My breasts don't really give me back pain tbh, but bras do. I used to have some back pain even though I worked out, but since I stopped wearing bras, it's gotten much better. Idk if I could also attribute it to starting to go to the gym around that time, but I really feel like not wearing bras made a difference. My breasts also feel more comfortable and natural to me when I'm not wearing a bra. I really should've done this sooner, idk how I used to stand wearing them through the night as a teen, I guess I just thought that that's what I was supposed to do back then.

can we stop using unrealistic illustrations by moids

>>22349
i relate anon, even while wanting to be attractive wouldn’t you want to look beautiful in say an elegant/pretty way and not in ways scrotes objectify? there are a lot of women who prefer to aspire to the former but i also see so many who genuinely feel jealous and wish they looked like the women men see as sex objects, not even precious or the type they’d give princess treatment to. or the women who see extreme bbl or large boobs as the ideal instead of a pretty neat hourglass. very weird to me

probably a bit of the reason you just described, that men will objectify you anyway regardless. its a depressing way to view it but probably a good majority of women know this will always happen (since it probably has happened to them since they were girls) so why not capitalize on it? if your fate is to be consumed then i guess look appetizing. if you look good enough maybe you'll gain benefits in this point system game.

it take a good amount of courage to challenge the system many women are placed in, and dismantling it internally makes one go almost mad. or it has for me.

>>22353
yes!

NMN is a gamechanger, literally no supplement ever works for me for making me feel energised but this stuff is like magic.
Why Glutathione and not NAC ?

Also to add, I am a bit of a supplement freak. I been monitoring my macros/micro nutrient intake for years but diet alone really can't fill in all the gaps unless I have like 50% more of the calories for a girl my height.

Over time I introduced:
Morning: Iron polypeptide + Vit C
Midday: Vit D + Mg + Methyl folate + Biotin
Evening: Algae Omega 3 + Vit E + Calcium + Vit C again

You get good at swallowing them without tasting (I just copied how they make cats/dogs take pills by putting it in the very back of the tongue).

Moved on from Bisglycinate to Citrate, which has a bit more mag per pill. Looking back I noticed a significant improvement in cognition. Specifically my executive functioning improved and I'm better at figuring out what's hindering it. Maybe some emotional stability too.
Pic related. I don't know how accurate it is besides oxide being shit, so it's gonna be here for discussion or something.

I also remember having 12 ng mol vitamin D a while back so that needs to be worked on 100%

>>22368
does the citrate make you shit a lot

>>22369
the shits are watery sometimes. doesn't seem to be an issue to me though.

I wanted ash-blonde color hair. Showed pictures. Ended up with purple hair. I hated it. In retrospect I should've just enjoyed the ride.

Someone's going to think this is stupid but whatever.

It was a totally decent cut & color, but when talking about restaurants she made a joke about spitting in people's food in a way that gave me such an icky vibe about who she was as a person.

When I was 16 I wanted to have orange hair, mine was really long and voluminous but instead of telling me it'd be impossible or that it'd take many sessions, they decided to do it all in one go. They started bleaching it from the top but by the time they got to the tips my scalp was fucking burning, like it was legit smoking. They rinsed it and then finished she process but for like the next 5-ish years, maybe more, that area of my scalp (back of my head) would feel gooey and my hair would grow as if perpetually humid.

>>22004
Did you at least like the orange hair?

They lie to you about the prices.
