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.

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

>I'm asking how bad my body looks.
I love it.

Today is another full body day. I can't wait for my muscles to start showing but I know it will take at least a month.

>>22260
How much protein are you eating?
No cardio?
>>21832
I've been getting into it these past few months (I was too heavy before) with the Couch to 5K program. It's getting to the point where it is enjoyable.

I've been kicking ass in the gym lately and it's starting to show in my arms. I'm happy but I want more! I still don't look like I workout yet.

>>22322
I do not keep track of my protein intake. I try not to eat too much because I'm trying not to get big. I do cardio every day I'm at the gym (that's the 30 min incline walk), HR gets up to like 170-180 usually

>>22342
different nona, but you can't get big doing cardio.

you can take both ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the same day as it affects organs differently, and also you can stagger your medication doses so there is less chance to be affected by pain. i did this for post-wisdom teeth removal though, so im not sure how it is long term if you have monthly periods, but maybe it could reduce how those medications affect different organs. just a suggestion as you have both of those pills already. definitely look into it before taking advice though.

tea helps but i think that's bc the heat makes the body relax a bit more. when i had tea i usually had something calming like mint or green.

>>22304
(Turmeric) ginger tea helps a lot for me. I must drink a whole goddamn ginger plant every month.

>>22304
>>22338
Oh, also:
For some women, light physical activity is known to help.
Dark chocolate because of the magnesium.
Apparently orgasms for some people?

raspberry leaf tea helped when I had horrible periods! I started on bc a couple years ago and my periods last like 3 days, are light, and involve basically no cramping/bloating so I don't need the tea any more though. would recommend looking into going on hormonal bc if you're OK with that

>>22341
ty nona, will try. i have heard that hormonal birth control has some risky side effects though, so i am hesitant

I agree with most of this and this is a good training regimen for what you're targeting. I have to disagree on the yoga thing though. If part of your problem is chronic armoring and general tightness yoga can be helpful. I know you can just do indivual stretches for recovery, but doing them in a sequence that flows is more efficient time wise and just works better in my experience. I found using a logical progression/flow improves the effectiveness of the stretches themselves, and being able to enter a meditative state using the movements is extremely beneficial for your mental and physical health.

I just think taking a more holistic approach is better than being so super against yoga as a whole just because it's full of hacks and grifters just like every single other thing on this planet that is even remotely popular. If you can get past the heavily promoted bullshit there are genuinely excellent practices and teachers out there.

I do agree that telling people to do just yoga for back pain is not nearly enough and it should be done in combination with a strength training regimen.

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.

>>21718
>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.

Eh, what makes him such an attractive character to many is simply because he's very undefined, making it easier for people to project whatever they want onto Leon. The same can be said with many other male characters in fiction.

I thought he was cute when I was in high school. I remember absolutely nothing about his personality or backstory tbh.

>>21954
He looks better in the fanart imo because the RE games' artstyle looks ugly to me and they made him look greasy. Also in the future he becomes fat which is a turn off personally, I like him as a twink

>>22084
>zebramaxxin
lmao

>>22052
>>22093
Yes
Some parts are supposed to be darker like nipples and the anus and this is normal because the skin tissue is different from the rest of the body

Don't internalize porn beauty standards ffs

>>22084
Fuck that

if this is about not appealing to the moid gaze, then let me tell you right now, some of them LOVE it.

if this is about a personal insecurity, then let me say that darkness on the butt, crotch, or armpits is normal for both sexes, and being ashamed of it is another part of racial light skin dynamics that dominate beauty culture. You are fine and normal, and spending tons of money on weird creams and topicals will not fix the problem and could even cause it to get worse if you create rough spots or cause hyperpigmentation from the inflammation.

>where the sun never shines
You know there's a reason we have this expression right ? Just because (((pornography))) normalized sticking your butt out for the camera doesn't mean this is how intimacy is supposed to be experienced by normal people, trust me
>t. light turned off enjoyer

>>22052
>>22093
Not if you are pure-blooded white.

It honestly looks uncomfortable and like it would ride up your ass, the stockings are nice I guess but I would rather wear fabric ones than the ones scene in lingerie

>>21934
This

>>21929
>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.

>>22292
this might be a good idea but i think some of it relates to hormone balancing, no?
but they like men anyways so they’re probably giving the few women that come across bad tips to purposely masculinize them kek

im not sure how healthy drinking canola oil is nona

>>22288
>>22289
the muscle thing potentially works but i can only see it having results if you already had muscles built up there and then stopped exercising. over time, the muscles will become looser and your body will convert some of the cells.

a better idea might be topical estrogen cream, you can get it on amazon. some use it for acne.

>>22292
that stuff works because roidbros spike their t levels with anabolic steroids. when your body overloads on testosterone, it breaks down into estrogen. the same doesn't work the other way however.

>>22319
I stopped exercizing there for a while and have started again kinda accidentally because I only hit bench and squats(poor coordination and it feels badass lol). think I might be seeing some results. thanks for the plug about amazon by the way. mad appreciate it

>>22319
>>22319
it’s called spirolactone, right?

There was a reddit just for women trying to grow a bra size or two I was lurking before I got robo-banned. Some of the girls used breast pumps because it stimulates the breast similar to baby suckling (but if you dont have a baby then no milk is made or something idk).

I was also looking into the estrogen cream thing too because I think thats what MTF use.

>>21880
Feeling better a month later but I have no clue how much the Mag to be credited tbh.

I take vitamin b and vitamin c. Also prescription iron suppliments.

>>21880
B12 and iron are a necessity (too much monthly blood loss, vegetarian diet).
Magnesium in case of insomnia, and also for dreams (it has tryptophan and L-theanine with it).
Probiotics.
Vitamins (especially D) during winter.

In the past, I have played with weird stuff in the hope of lessening the blood flow, but it just disrupted cycles and actually increased it lol.

>>20827
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).
