When you say you’ve been checked and it’s call clear, that means you’ve had ultrasounds? I’d still get a second opinion personally. Can you think of anything that has changed recently, like are you under a lot of stress, exercising more or less, changed diet, etc?

>>20900
it could be endometriosis? even if you get checked it usually takes 7 yrs to diagnose since symptoms start. periods pains are suppose to fluctuate in intensity during premenopause not be constantly more painful

>>20901
I'm not sure if the test was ultrasound or what. It was a little uncomfortable.

The change lines up exactly with the onset of stress and a big change in eating patterns (longer periods between meals, less calories). I guess I should do the obvious and work on that.

>>20902
I have some of those symptoms according to google. I also have a pain in my left side near my waist during the spotting/bleeding which makes me think it's something different.

>>20903
Periods can definitely get weird if you change your diet and/or are stressed. Mine once stopped for 10 months during a particularly stressful year. But I’d still get a second opinion just to be sure.

Nta but you are either lying or can't perceive the real world for what it is. Most of what you listed has nothing to do with dolling your self up except for catching (but not keeping.. You can never secure that) a high value male or whatever for the lazy vacant girlies. Look up richest or most respected women in whatever field (except for "entertainment". Including porn) and yeah, THE GIRLIES seem to have not much hobbies showing on their body.. sad. The most brilliant and successful women are mostly just clean and tidy looking.
>why would you want to make the world a better place for people who hate you?
You are serving them with your pleasant outer shell and diminished inner will you tard. Keep buying plastics and chemicals and diminishing your awareness. training your mind to 24/7 visualize how you are perceived, but never perceiving the world and it's people. Ultimately living with no real consciousness.
Just be truthful. Say that putting makeup and dressing girly makes you horny when you think, oh just how much a male is gonna desire you and own you so good. It's exhilarating yes. But it's better for YOU in the long term to satisfy your mind, not your clit.
Any woman who says she is doing it for herself is just a dumb girlie. Have some introspection and the unconscious will be conscious. Wishing all girlies enlightenment someday, or not. Death eventually saves us all

>do you have schizophrenia anon?

oh you are so hopelessly generic, you are not even worth a response. this is charity.

>get ahead in life

what makes you genuine human is no longer in you. you lack the soul. you are just a reflection. you are thoroughly entangled into the illusion of consumption, hoping to find enough fuel to afford an empire that is supposed to be the substitute for the humanity you have evicted.

you're like a house that nobody lives in.

>>20570

>everyone knows for a woman is about looks

that's just you being basic and insecure.

>whether you have a partner that cares about you
>whether you get recognition for your achievements
>whether you get respect from anyone
>whether you are seen as human
>whether you make social connections
>whether you get paid more

to me this is nothing but a sad cry for help and an admission that beside your physical form you have nothing going for yourself to the degree that you don't even understand what else there could be.

Almost no one will pay attention to a girl if she isn't pretty… most men wont even bother with a girl if he doesn't consider her somewhat attractive, and then people wonder why girls worry a lot about how they look.

Reminds me of those quora "answers" where someone asks a question and someone just says "ummm why would you want to do that?" and contributes nothing but making themselves feel superior by being "beyond" the discussion. Very fail and slappable reddit behavior.

As for your question OP yep it is very possible. Having better skin will make you look younger, so health plays a role, and also doing more cute and youthful makeup and wearing youthful vibes outfits, you can make yourself younger.

Kids are not less indoctrinated by society. They have a less nuanced understanding of social rules and roles than adults, but they also have little critical thinking ability to question them.

I’ve been scouted several times by modeling scouts, I guess that means something

It means you were almost trafficked lol

My manager at my job likes me, and I know this because he's given me little gifts/snacks and he was supposed to give me a write-up more than once before, but he never did. Only reason I'm not repulsed is because he's actually hot…

if u grow up near LA this is a rite of passage & it's almost always a scam to get your parents to overpay for some headshots

Aren't there studies out there that basically state childless people are on average happier than those with children?

Wealth isn't a resource that determines overpopulation because on a basic level money is not necessary to survive. Arable land, water, and food are. The way we use those resources is simply not sustainable, ergo we are overpopulated. Simple as.

Avoiding picrel is enough to qualify it for /hb/. Imagine you get this and your child grows up to be a 4channer/miner who doesn't care (and you eventually stop caring all that much too).

As I get older the less I want children.

When I was a teen to young adult, I always said I didn't want children while secretly daydreaming about a life where I settled down and have kids. It was always a superficial idea and never really what it would actually be like. It was never a priority for me.
When I got older, the thought of having children became less and less to non-existent. Even when the people around me started having kids and tried to introduce me to the idea of having my own, there was no real appeal to me. I never felt compelled to try to have kids. I just don't want them.

It's okay that some people just simply don't want children.

Women peak in their 30s. Don't fall for that larp from moids that women just start declining in fertility at age 30. If you are a HEALTHY 30 year old, you can carry a child. Autism is caused by various poisons in the food and environment as well as giving babies 30 vaccines by the time they are 2, God fucking damn

>>20894
And don’t have kids with old moids. Autism risk for offspring skyrockets when a moid hits his 40s and continues climbing as he gets older

im like 185cm and i wish i was either 6ft5 or 7ft so i cant get height mogged

I'm 5'6 and I don't care too much about my height. I like short gymbros bcz they look so wide and masculine and dense. hell I'll even tolerate short chubby guys as long as they're fucking WIDE

>>20130
She wrote an entire novel there haha

>>19798
As a fellow Wasian, this humble bragging is in on an entirely different level of cringe, I feel icky reading this

I'm 184cm. Nothing fits and everything sucks. My head clips the top of doorframes if I wear heels.

>Does it even matter that much when it comes to dating?
You just limit your pool of available men to those who have fewer self-esteem/ego problems.

>>20846
Such augmentations provide no substantial benefit in battle.

I got masseter botox and people say it fucked up my face so it made me self conscious. Still waiting for it to wear off and the muscles to come back. Its definitely easy to get sucked into the botching pipeline but a few aesthetic tweaks here and there can definitely help improve self confidence, at least for me. You just have to avoid getting sucked down the rabbithole and becoming a botched bimbo with fish lips lol.
Tattoos I am not into as it feels trashy personally but to each their own.

>>20850
This is the way.

Almost every woman looks better without them, and even if they didn’t it still wouldn’t be worth it. Save your money and use it for something more useful.

Oh sorry I bought this fancy bougie healthy hazelnut butter with cocoa powder ($18 for 4 cups of this stuff!!!) and it is sweetened with maple syrup, not corn syrup and other bad stuffs. No soybean oils or anything either. I just said Nutella because I thought it was the universal descriptor for hazelnut chocolate butter lol

>>20874

>sweetened with maple syrup

that's a bit better but not if you combine it with so many different foods. think of your digestion as a washing machine and you can only do one load at a time and some clothes you can't wash with other clothes.

ideally you would eat similar stuff and then wait a few hours to digest it; which does take a bit of the fun and spontaneity of eating. you have to decide if you want food to be entertainment (in which case it will make you sick) or fuel that keeps you running smoothly.

modern industrial food is contrary to what animals and wild humans ate to successfully made it to today. restaurants want to advertise you complicated gourmet meals with many different side orders and many ingredients (koreans lost their mind with how many side dishes they eat for example). if you want to do yourself a favor, try simply meals with few ingredients, reasonably spaced apart as to give yourself time to digest.

here is what i do currently: nothing but a few apples from morning till late in the evening, coconut water (from the box unfortunately) mixed with grapefruit and limejuice for when i am thirsty (yes fresh squeezed from real fruit!), gigantic serving of soup with vegetables (and sometimes rice noodles) as the big evening meal of the day. i barely cook the vegetables, i just load a huge bowl full of spices, pour boiling water over and then throw vegetables in and i call this soup but i am not getting out a big pot and start cooking the vegetables till they are dead, that'd be too complicated. is more like a broth with vegetables in. love it. gives me energy to go hard every day, if i could give you a spoon full through the screen so you can try how good something this simple tastes, i would.

>>20875
Nona are you underweight by chance? Eating apples until evening for your big meal doesn’t sound healthy. There is barely any protein in your day. Wheres the meat? Or if you are vegan, the nuts, the chickpeas, the beans?

>>20872

nutella popcorn is sooooo yummy. messy tho

>>20880
>Nona are you underweight by chance?

i have done quite a few experiments with fasting, the lowest i experienced was like bmi 18. when i was this light, my bones actually kind of stuck out of my skin, which was awkward and also i instantly noticed that i can no longer lean against stuff because it would hurt my bones since they did not have their cushion at that time. that was too light.

now in the colder part of the year you find me at bmi 21 because i do still like complicated lavish (mostly raw vegan) meals but the meals can not settle in my body because i am very active, i exercise and i also don't sit around all day, i am constantly doing stuff. eating raw vegan and then sitting around in front of a screen, that is it's own form of torture because it releases so much energy which then wants to be turned into something.

in the warm part of the year i eat even more fruit and i go down to bmi 20, which is my favorite weight. i have tried a few different weights and bmi 20 is my favorite. it is not what you would call underweight, it is being light as a feather and having enough muscle mass to be active all day every day. when i am active all day, not having excess weight to carry around turns life from a boring dystopian chore into an exciting wonderful life-affirming dance full of twirls and dance moves. there is nothing like it, can nobody tell me shit about how being heavy feels good, no. being slim without starving is the best for everything.

>Eating apples until evening for your big meal doesn’t sound healthy.
then how come i have so much energy and do so much all day? you see how much i type? that's me having energy for anything easily available.

>There is barely any protein in your day.
protein is a big myth. the body does not use protein, the protein is cracked into smaller amino acids, which strains the body a lot. i don's strain my body, my food contains all the amino acids directly. think of protein as a box that your body still has to unwrap, why would i do that to myself. that's you just being a follower and looking around to other people on what to imitate in your quest for being normal.

>this would be quite the spectacle for a reality show.

It would, but you're right about them not being able to commit. There are already reality shows about morbidly obese people trying to lose weight, and a lot of the people end up literally dying because they're too fucking obese and can't stick to even the most mild calorie deficit.

>>20878
>and can't stick to even the most mild calorie deficit.

i think the only way for obese people is to introduce the change in steps so small that they go completely under their radar, since they are not all of the sudden going to rediscover willpower, patience and strong nerves.

i've been thinking about this for many years. something like reducing their portions by 1% and enduring the discomfort until they can reduce another 1% looks to me to be the only way to do it.

might be all in vain though since the underlying root cause of their obesity is never addressed, which is irresponsibility: denial, lack of curiosity, identification with illusion, separation of cause and effect

>>20879
I would phrase it instead as introducing things into the diet. E.g. you must eat one whole carrot a day before having junk food. You're not banning something (and thus there's no fomo), but you are making a rule that will
A) Make the bad habit inconvenient
B) Slowly introduce good habits

One of the best ways to "quit" something is to not frame it as quitting. Always try and frame it as a gain and you'll generally do better.

>>20881
NTA but this is how I quit vaping, actually. It also ties into this discussion regarding weight loss: I slowly phased in exercise and over time I didn't want to vape as much because doing so made exercises more difficult after I got the hang of enjoying the movements. I'm no longer overweight.

>>20881
>making a rule

your overall approach would work but getting the person to do it by making a rule; that is you not understanding the depth of the underlying psychological problems responsible for obesity. the whole reason the obese person bends itself into a prezel psychologically (including multiple personality behavior) to do harmful things is to avoid the many disadvantages of a life of rules. rules are not the solution, they are the underlying problem. they may work for you but that is because you have cut off the spontaneous and creative parts of you that the obese person tries to protect from a life of rules. look at the people who do what they do because of rules, not because they understand and agree with something and you will find a host of problems, mostly of the mental health; emotional damage but also physical in terms of cramps, various stiffnesses in all systems of the body, heart issues and a general disconnectedness and difficulty to relate to other members of their species that are not part of their bonded group.

Dieting usually involves eating less food, yeah. I'm not a big candy person but I still eat pastries/cookies almost daily.

I try to stick to 16-8 intermittent fasting. If you do that youll also start to eat healthier because if you just eat candy and carbs youll burn though your energy and get super hungry during the fast, but if you eat naturally filling food like protein or vegetables that take longer to digest you will be less hungry.

>>20720
>doesnt my body know
If youre eating poorly and are overweight my theory is youre basically being mind controlled by your gut bacteria who are just making you pig down carbs to feed them and expand their numbers.
Gut bacteria can influence hormones and the brain so yeah if you lack self control with eating it's likely the one in control is the bacteria in your body rather than your own cells and 'higher self'.
Orrr youre just an impulse eater and don't have aspirations to self improve on a deep level.

>>20866
>basically being mind controlled

yeah and seduced by overavailability of unhealthy food.

i vaguely remember seeing a meme where there were two screenshots of legacy media newscasters 🤮 side by side, lets say the pictures were a year apart. the text underneath read "when a taco bell opens up across the street from where you work" and on the second picture the two casters were noticably fatter. a fitting punishment for spending their life's energy on lying to the people.

some people are such agentless passengers of their own life, so puppeteered by what happens around them, so effortlessly seduced by everything: all it takes for their bodies to be ruined is for conveniencefood suddenly being available close to them. they are so mindless, they don't care that they are getting sick and that the quality of their life will decrease massively because consequences don't apply to them. i noticed this in quite a few disgraceful occupations that are a negative on society. the people start to believe that cause and effect no longer apply to them. they get away with being evil and pretending to the people that something is true that isn't and forcing perspectives on the people that train them to act against their own self-interest, well why wouldn't they get away with eating food designed to make people sick, in consequence they preach self-harm all day long so it was bound to make the round back to them. irresponsibility, not even once.
