Did you at least like the orange hair?

They lie to you about the prices.

I went to check out some hair salons, saw the prices, noticed that they'd charge me more for being a woman, then I left and asked one of my friends to cut my hair instead. She did a good job.
I later found a salon that has equal pricing, no further problems.

How do I find one that doesn’t rip me off

Decided to try out this fancy hair salon (on my ex's dime thankfully). Omg was it a waste of money.
The guy didn't spend any time to know what I actually wanted so he got it totally wrong. I wanted multi-colour hair but he just picked one random colour out of the hair samples I showed him without communication and I didn't realise until it was too late. A very awful bright pink that looked horrendous on me. Out of all the colours he picked the worst if he was going to choose to give me one colour. He also fried the shit out of my hair when he bleached it to then put on the pink (it was like he'd never worked with semi dark hair, he basically tried turning it white before adding the colour) and that hair colour was the scourge of my hair dye adventures for the next 5 or so years until I could cut all of it off. And it turned out to be one of those shitty expensive salons that make you pay extra/buy a slot for a basic dry off after the dye but they didn't make it clear beforehand nor let you add a blowout afterwards. I was practically in tears when he shoved me out the door with wet trashy pink dangerhair. A random woman outside could tell my sorrow and tried cheering me up but honestly it looked so crap.
Thankfully within the next months I found my dream hairdresser and I followed her across town whenever she changed stores. She and I clicked so well and she actually spent the time to know what I wanted and would work with the shitty former dye (it mixed harshly with new colours) to make it look good and best of all, she made sure to pick colours and dyes which faded out well. She also perfected giving me a "melt" hairstyle as she called it which left my roots intact and the new colours looked like they melted out of my hair so the roots came in nicely and I didn't have to come get it fixed every few weeks. She was also at one of the cheapest spots in town at the start which meant my crazy hairstyles would come out to be under 200$ for like 6+ hours of work.
Honestly after that I refuse to see hoity toity gays for my hair. Give me a plump mom or lesbian who loves to work with hair any day. It has never led me wrong since then. They also go nuts if you have a crazy idea, they actually love it vs begrudgingly doing their job

You are kind of fat with a weird body, but so what? Who are you being skinny for again? We both know, so be honest with yourself. The male gaze is not worth appealing to.

I mean, in it's core, yeah, female beauty is about being appealing to men. But you have to admit it's evolved beyond that. Women don't consciously want to be beautiful only to seem appealing to men, it's a new kind of self-worth, it changes how everyone treats and sees you, including women.

imagine thinking this is fat

>>22315
Yep, including yourself, too

You have a really nice body. That dress would look off on any body. You should post wearing other outfits.

sometimes уоu want tо show оff your lеgs, nоt the entirety of your crotch.

>>22302
then wear shorts

>>22409
that would be inappropriate at the evening show or whatever bullshit
although maybe the woman in the op thread would benefit from safety shorts

you try to make it better a little bit, then you get tired of having body dysmorphia

weirdly doing lsd cured by BD because I realized that I look beautiful like the women in ancient art and that healthy female bodies are representations of the goddess. but-on another note, i would focus on realizing that the expectations for women are just made to control us, limit mobility and take up mental energy. men can just-exist, but we have the expectation to be made up and look unrealistic. stop going on the internet completely for like a month, ik it’s hard but it’s helpful. the thoughts you have about your body aren’t yours, they were implanted in you by companies trying to sell you shit. everything people say is also their own pornsick/consumerist thoughts. it’s really hard and feels painful but your own rejection of these lies will serve to liberate other women too by setting an example. your body is meant to be lived in, it is not ornamental.

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

I love having a medium sized chest. Big enough not to be flat, small enough it doesn't affect my back and doesn't sag to the floor.

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?

It's a photo. Iit's airbrushed and filtered. Most people don't have perfect legs.

i just clean them out w a wet q tip

>When I get depressed and don’t shower as much,

Here is your problem. Wash your pussy more often.

Dermatologist. They do or have someone that does glycolic peels or whatever else they recommend.

At home? Face scrub twice a week and a good facial cleanser but they'll always come back because they're supposed to be there. She has large pores so it's slightly more noticeable but only up close and you've got to be looking for it.

Huh, my face doesn't look likethat. Maybe cause Inever saw sun in my entire life and I use tretionoin.

Oh yeah, use tretinoin and azelaic acid.

>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.

>>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!
