I personally think it's more of a flex to look good without all of that. if you need fillers/extreme makeup/etc to look good then you don't actually look good. that's why I invest much more in my skincare and personal grooming.

>What would be the point of brainwashing someone to do that

Because it aligns with the broader programming we receive; the more converging factors there are, the harder it is to break that programming. The general message we're sent is "you are a unique individual, and the way you express that individuality is by buying something someone else made." Tattoos are one of many commodities we can buy to supposedly express individuality, except that standards have slipped enough that the only way a tattoo can stand out now is if you get it on your face.

Another theory of mine is that tattoos make you a lot easier to identify, so it probably helps law enforcement when you get tattoos.

Anonymous 22413

I feel like the motivation to get tattoos comes from the same part of the brain that makes people give their children shitty names like tragedeigh
like it's a semi permanent way to show "individuality" that's more important to the person than the negatives, such as broader social disapproval (which is what makes it trashy)

But it isn't always trashy. Tattoos can be culturally consistent and be appropriate for certain groups. Yakuza are an extreme example but I wouldn't cringe if it's congruent with whatever the person does. I think it also has to be a bit of a flex to break social norms while still being tolerated or accepted - it actually requires more social skill than most have. Which is also when it's less trashy.

tattoos are honestly cheugy now and i’m so glad they’ve been out for a while. i’ve genuinely always wondered how women with large tattoos cope. a couple cute little ones are one thing, but taking up your upper thigh or shoulder or upper arm with a tattoo is as bad of self harm as blacking out your face to me im sorry. especially when all of them are bad and ugly. i see good ones on the internet but i assume they’re photoshopped or brand new.

crackpot yet affordable ways to grow flat chest Anonymous 22283[Reply]

So..I am really flat due to genetics(my mother told me she had the same condition before she had me). I don’t know if this should go in /feels/ because it relates a lot to body dysmorphia. As much as I try to fight it, it keeps nagging at me. Anyways, I’m a brokie so some things I am thinking of trying are bee pollen if i can find it and otc menopause meds.
Nonas, do you have any other suggestions?

Its anecdotal, but a slim girl with big ones told me it is because she drank cow milk every day and it looked like it works, but it could be just genetics, although her mom had smaller ones. I don't know any more details.

Is chatgpt fearmongering me about being underweight? I was a little worried and gave it some of my stats (BMI under 16.5 but not too low, fatigue, muscle weakness, fogginess) and It's telling me I have a chance of dying when I'm about thirty or running through severe health issues but I just find it hard to believe.
I've always been under a 18 BMI, it only got worse in the past few years because of some personal issues and even though I am a little too skinny, it's nowhere near as bad as how it is with people like Eugenia Cooney, which is still well alive despite people always speculating she's done for

Not to encourage you if you are underweight to an unhealthy degree, but anorexics don't actually die as soon as you'd think. Malnutrition isn't good, but vitamins are buffers for the reactions in your body so the reactions will happen regardless, just far less efficient. Minerals are needed, but if you live in the first world and eat any amount of meat you should be fine enough that your body shouldn't be more than vaguely malnutritioned, but not enough to turn your bones to Swiss cheese from metabolizing and using the minerals stored there. But again, so long as you're not severely undereating of underweight. For some skeletons the BMI isn't totally accurate right at the outskirts of "ok".
You kind of have to look objectively at your body and decide if you are more skin and bone than healthy but if you look healthy skinny then probably the only thing you might have issues with is micronutrients as it's harder to get enough when your calorie requirements are less like in shorter women and those with smaller skeletons overall. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend a multivitamin to be safe, or a green juice powder if you have issues with pills (multivitamins can be a little harsh on sensitive stomachs due to the minerals), especially for iron due to obvious female reasons. Also if you bleed a lot, start taking an iron supplement a day or two before your period starts and during it (every other day if you have a sensitive stomach or eat high iron foods instead). If you're American go for the Walmart brand or other store brand stuff as it's sadly the safest supplements in America (most likely to contain what it claims without extra expensive filler), in Canada you can chose any of them but the cheapest the better, Jamieson and Equate are great quality. More expensive stuff tends to be proprietary blends and molecules with less research behind them but created so they can sell something "unique", sometimes the molecular structure can change everything for the worst and dangerous so trust the basic molecules until at least 10 years of research is out for "alternative" molecular structures.
If you're smaller honestly all your tiredness could literally just be from iron as women need lots and if you don't eat as much it's harder to get. Especially in a world where we don't eat as much organ meats as we once did. If you can stomach them I highly recommend eating organ Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

16.5 BMI? You’re pretty underweight, I’d be surprised if you had a period at all. Definitely at risk of an earlier death but more importantly, poor health and low quality of life

i wish i had a flat stomach. it seems like no matter how skinny i get i always have a little pudge. ik ppl say its just organs but i feel like that might be one of those ugly cope lies bc ive seen girls irl with completely flat stomachs. i work out religously and i eat pretty well too. i feel insane.

Anonymous 22385

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?

The only time I had a flat stomach was when I was dangerously underweight. It's just not possible for some of us.

Have to keep working more and losing more, you just need more muscle holding the other tissues, i think leg ups while alternating sides helped me, but i still see it when i sit down.

Weird question, but do you poop fully? My tummy will have some "pudge" right before I go and will stay puffy during the days right before my period when I get a little constipated and it doesn't fully empty. My tummy is literally only flat when it's totally empty cause when you're skinny, any amount of food, bloat, or poop is visible pretty much. If you don't fully empty or your schedule means you poop right before a meal, you may never get the totally flat tummy look. Models will poop and not eat right before a shoot to keep themselves flat for it. Also some girls seem to have some extra womb pudge there that never goes away, there's this creepy surgery you can get to remove it. Iirc Grimes was the celeb I learned it from and it looked odd. It's probably there as some biological trait for protection of the organs or something like that.
Another thing is maybe you're skinnyfat? If so then working out your abs will help tone it up. It won't remove womb chub if that's what it is, but sometimes it will look chubby when it's just lacking muscle. At least I felt like my belly would flop about and looked almost chubby before i started working out my abs.

I struggled filling them down to size but got them on! The other hand's nails look a little worse on the nail bed cause I filled a little too agressive but still they look really nice! They're thin so they don't really look like bad quality acrylics like you'd get done in a mall. Up close you wouldn't say they're customs but they're really cute
>>20068
I got them at a local African beauty store. They're a brand I've seen around called Miss Yes that's under 10$
>>20070
You can buy press on nails by real nail artists. They're real acrylics just done to your size on a mannequin then applied later by the artist or you at home. Imo they're a better idea than getting the acrylics done on you cause it's the same quality and will actually last if you remove them carefully. As for mass produced press ons they're nothing like they used to be in the 00s, I think they're better than a cheap nail artist now cause they're thin and come in nice designs you'd be paying so much extra for to get done. Tbh they beat a lot of "artists" in my city from seeing pics online unless you jump to 150$ minimum but I couldn't imagine paying for that to be applied temporarily instead of getting a set to keep at that price

how cute! I recommend brush on nail glue, i can link the one I use. super strong. also you should have pushed back you cuticles and put the nails further up so they looked more real

Anonymous 20095

>>20089
I would really appreciate the glue recommendation, I used these stickers it came with but the nails popped off by night haha. It did come with glue too but it's probably not great.
Should I cut a bit of the cuticles do you think? I pushed them as back as I could but they're a little long so they moved back into place onto the fake nails. I've had a lifetime nail biting habit (partially why I got the nails) so I don't really know anything to do with nail care lol.

Hope I chose the right thread cause I wanted to show these off. Wore these for an office Christmas party tonight. Technically Halloween themed due to the Ghostface but ah well, nobody noticed that part. Only that they matched my earrings. I got a few compliments on them so I think I'm getting the hand of press ons. I will say, I was so happy to have press ons now that I've left. So satisfying to pop them off and let my fingers breathe now before bed. Also could get them cute and long without worrying about practicality!

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.

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

Anonymous 22429

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

How bad does my body look? Anonymous 22181[Reply]

I'm chubby and working on it, currently 58kg trying to reach 50kg, but I don't know if that will be enough, I fear that losing weight won't really make me look that much better since my hips are so narrow. I'm not asking if I should give up on losing weight, I'm asking how bad my body looks.

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.

Anonymous 22315

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.
