Why do you care when moids are usually ugly as all hell? I do not understand your logic. Moids usually look like ballsacks. I would rather be kind of overweight and keep my pride than do anything for their gaze, since they don't return the effort. Maybe like 2% are attractive, but I'm tired of people trying to suppress the fact and becoming hostile to it. No amount of money will make me attracted to someone who looks like a toads ass either. This is not shallow though, this is setting yourself up for a reciprocal relationship. Stop lying to yourself/ putting in extra work they don't actually deserve. That's really all you have to do. Is your bf as attractive as you? This is all that matters, a reciprocal attraction. Otherwise they are just manipulating you and low key bullying you into accepting scraps, while they get to walk away with all the pride and confidence etc. (You know they will trash women who don't look how they want, while they look nasty)

The result is how you're living now. How you're living in your head now is a form of male oppression. You're entire mind is becoming a trash heap on the floor. You lose so much when you're mind is reverted to a garbage heap. You have to acknoweledge what you actually want, and ask yourself do you want to be that way? Is that how you want to live? as a mentally diminished shell of yourself? For their benefit? Its shameful imo.

Lbp isn't natty

i've gotten significantly fitter in the last several months, and its weird to have my body now bump into itself in new ways, especially around my arms.

If you cant afford a gym pass or dont prefer it you can start with calisthenics aka bodyweight exercises cause they need no equipment and can be done anywhere. I would just pick a premade program/routine and try it, focusing on upper body, lower body, core, and cardio on different days so each area has time to rest. But my reasoning for just picking something and doing as most as you can is because its better to be consistent and thus able to improve than it is to waste time/paralyze yourself trying to find the perfect way to start. Just when doing a routine dont think you need to do all of what it says you should do. Do all you can leaving yourself energy to do something the next day. Giving yourself easy workout days inbetween harder days helped me keep up with working out by making it a habit quicker (ex: upper body and light core exercises one day, cardio the next where I just jog/walk a mile or two. Then the third day focus on core and light legs, etc. Be creative. Give yourself rest days if you really have to but be careful to not let yourself slip up and quit working out always saying it should be done tomorrow)

i am quite strong in my upper arms.

I spend a lot of time doing push ups or hand stands.
of course this will change the physique of your body but its a bad thing.

being strong is such a cool party trick as well as being useful for self defence

wish I could find the will to get started. i always thought I could be a runner, but I just sit here and rot

Make sure you’re dressing for your height and body type. Well-dressed, really tall women are striking. Have you looked into tall women models/actresses and their fashion? Gwendoline Christie comes to mind, she’s 6’3”.

It’s normal to feel insecure when you get a lot of attention for something you can’t control, but don’t try and hunch your shoulders or hide yourself. Good posture and confidence on a really tall woman is so important.

Thank you so much for your comment!!

I have recently started to practice maintaining good posture. Normally, I do stand and walk as straight as I can but I think that sometimes I do subconsciously sink into myself in certain situations. Or maybe it’s in my head.

And it is really good advice to start looking and even taking inspiration from models and actresses! Now that you’ve mentioned it, I had thoughts about observing what Megan Thee Stallion does (forgive me, not a fan of her music but she is around my height and I’m also half-black so…). It would also be nice to include Taylor Swift, too. She always had this ethereal style that I wondered if I can ever pull it off.

Not much help but I would love to be 5''11 as a 5''6 so I can feel as intimidating as possible, and not a target from other people (Trauma lolz). But also I would love to be that height and maintain my beauty to be perceived as one of those cocaine chic girls ;p

here's a secret nona
nobody really cares about your height

it's just like short guys complaining about being 5'8. nobody really cares. accept it and own it, it's who you are

also, if people ever make fun of your height, remember it's not actually about the height, they are just trying to hurt you

>>21188
Maybe you can tell your husband to wear stilts?

>>21259
bitch

>>21259
I don't think I have pcos but i'm brown so I get an annoying amount of upper lip hair. trying learning how to thread or getting small facial razors that won't irritate your skin to use daily.

also i'm about the same weight as you and I think you just need to lose like 10 pounds or even now, you're fine. I hope the best for you. I wonder why >>21260 called you that

It's the ugly moid psyop combined with consumerism

>>21229
The ugly moid psyop is insidious. They even keep pushing dudes like Leo Dicaprio on us like his fat ass and pudgy face didn’t hit the wall decades ago

The first mistake is believing that nobody else cares or judges the men while you do perform said judgment.

The second is accepting the idea that the man in your image is wearing casual, has no makeup or lotion on his face hair and lips, and is showing his natural stubble. Even though his neck is entirely smooth, and his stubble is entirely dark without any stray grays despite being in his late 30s. Beards show gray hairs before anywhere else on anyone else. That is a made-up, coiffed, and artificially colored male body dressed in personally tailored and therefore extremely expensive clothing, in a look that is engineered to present itself as approachable, everyday, and attainable. Mark Zuckerberg's fitted gray t-shirts cost thousands of dollars apiece.

The question should instead be "WHY is the intent of all of the effort of exorbitantly expensive male fashion so heavily engineered to produce a 'he looks like a guy my dad would have a beer with at a barbecue' result with ZERO VARIATION, where is the Professor with Tweed Jacket And Pipe look, where is the Distinguished Veteran Who Owns A Perfectly Maintained Gold Pocketwatch look, where is the coalminer who puts a flower in his pocket to keep his sense of life alive when he's out of the dark look," why can't these middle aged men accept social segmentation and stop trying to look like Ordinary Guys(tm).

>>21229
>>21230
Ugliness is irrelevant to the question.

Just stop doing it. Be the change you want to see in the world.

>>21245
Amen.

Don't get fat, don't let your skin go to shit (protip: UV radiation, liquor and tobacco are your biggest enemies) and take care of your hair.

That's like 90% of the physical side of "aging gracefully" right there.

yes im aging gracefully like my mom did

Adhd thread
how does adderall affect u?

Fortunately at 35 years old I look young. I know it's probably just genetics, but I've never smoked or drank alcohol, so I guess that helps too. Don't be alcoholic sluts, girls.

Radical acceptance? I was asked by my husband how I would rate myself on looks. I said 5 and he laughed. It really hurt. I took a lot of selfies and looked at them and realized I don't look as great as I thought I did. I did try to improve my makeup. But I've mostly just accepted I'm not beautiful.

You have to get over the childish need to be seen as beautiful. One way to do this and that has worked for me is taking on the mindset that if you're not meant to be desired and looked at then you're meant to desire and look at others. Once you start seeing yourself as part of the audience or consumers you stop caring about your looks and start wanting everyone else to be beautiful instead so you can enjoy the view. It's really nice.

The insults hurt but you eventually get over it and have to develop a personality, skills, whatever, to substitute for no looks. Men will treat you like shit regardless of if you’re ugly or beautiful, they’re just more upfront about it if you’re ugly

I have an addiction on nicotine right now - hopefully ill get my diagnosis soon so ill get adderall and itll actually improve my cognitive performance

Stimulants like caffeine and nicotine help me stay focused on one thing for longer (~60-70 mins without a break versus ~20-30 mins without a longer break) so I think adderall and adhd meds would make me more functional but I never tried them cause of all the testimonies about feeling like a meth zombie. Even rl friends have told me as much unprompted. For me taking magnesium helped fix my adhd. For me magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate work to cure it (magnesium oxide's cheaper since you can get it in a powder and mix it with seltzer for 2 weeks of doses. It just tastes like a mix of salty and slightly oceany/seafoody so pills may be better for some of you). Lions mane has worked to cure adhd in my friends but not me, its another option to try. Basically I dont like the idea of being dependent on my prescription and this fixes me 80% of the way where just a cup of coffee or zyn pouch throughout the day keep me functioning fine.

Tried to find the website I learned this from but couldn't. In case anyone wants to try mixing magnesium hydroxide (not oxide like I said previously) heres the process.
You'll need a 1 liter bottle of club soda/carbonated water/seltzer water (I can find it for a dollar at walmart)
You'll also need a bag of magnesium hydroxide (I've had luck with the bulk supplements brand. Spent $15 on a bag a year ago and still using the same one. ~2 year shelf life according to the exp. date)
Measure a teaspoon of magnesium and sit it aside.
Open the seltzer water and put a large funnel inside it. (The one I use is a bit bigger than a coffee cup)
have the cap ready in one hand and the measured magnesium in the other.
slam the spoon in the base of the funnel and then immediately pull the funnel out. Immediately screw the cap back on (you'll have ~5 seconds before it spews everywhere. It needs the carbonation so the magnesium sticks to the water and gets distributed)
once capped shake for 30 seconds. sit in the fridge for an hour. shake again for 30 seconds. You now have ~2 weeks of magnesium. 2-3 swigs a day.

I did this too. Stay away from Adderall though, it has the same effects of meth but less effective . The chemical structure of Adderall is identical to meth but has structural differences that weaken its effect. Meth is an upper, it makes you productive, dopamine = attention/learning,
Increase dopamine = increase attention span. Adderall is marketed as "fixing dopamine deficiency"

Anyway just search up medical journals or ask an AI if you don't believe me.

Mmh maybe gaining a little bit of weight will help? To be honest I really don't know sorry Nona. I know some advice bee pollen but I don't really know if it works

>unpasteurized milk
retard spotted stopped reading

>>20338
you're the fucking retard. Literally everybody drank unpasteurized milk before 1947. The only thing it does is give milk a longer shelf life and it was only made law was in order to push small dairy farms out of the industry who couldn't afford the pasteurization equipment.
Are you going to pasteurize your breast milk before giving it to your baby??

>>20339
>breast milk produced specifically for your baby is the same as raw milk from a random cow that you have no way of knowing how it's fed or how many diseases it has
okey retard

>>20339
ok but life expectancy was also single digits back then

I don't eat that much but when I do its ramen and monster or something. I'll try to drink water and eat more healthy!

candy, instant-food, drinks made from chemicals: those will all cause problems and pimples in the face is only one way this manifests. you can easily understand this for yourself. eat only candy (for a week) and just see what happens. how you feel, how you look,…

when i did this (20 years ago) i gained weight, got pimply and my armpits start to hurt then i stopped eating the garbage and ate better, pimples went away, armpits stopped hurting and i began to lose weight again.

a nice way to gently transition away from the garbage is this:

when you eat your silly ramen, prepare it as usual but do it in a bigger bowl and add tons of raw vegetables on top. tomato, bell pepper, spinnach leaves, rucola, celery, spring onion. you can only add a bit of it at first but then gently start to tip the scale so that it is more vegetable then sillyfood.

instead of energy drink you can do this: buy lemons, limes and/or grapefruit and some maple syrup. make a big jug in the morning consisting of: water, your citrus of choice and a bit of maple syrup. in order for the lemons not to spoil, you can juice all the lemons you buy and fill the juice in an ice cube tray, that way they won't become moldy after a few days and making your drink in the morning is less work.

The only things that work against acne are retinoids

Yes cleansers are good for aiding but virtually all cosmetic skincare is useless for acne if not paired with retinoid medication

>>20760
To adress what others have said: while eating 'clean" helps gut health and yadda yadda, it will not impact your skin THAT much, it will not clear up your acne, as food doesn't control our oil production but hormones do.

That's why a lot of women have breakouts during/before period, that's when our oil production skyrockets. And most adult men don't have acne because their hormones don't change the same way ours do, so they can eat like shit and they won't have painful cystic acne from it.

god-tier japanese brands that have saved my skin: gyokujun (affordable) and curel (more expensive)

i 100% recommend the blue line from pyunkang yul. i have extremely sensitive skin prone to cystic acne and hyperpigmentation and that line (in addition to the skin 1004 centella line) has been the best for my skin. PKY blue line products have no fragrances and are very gentle and i think you’d benefit. plus super cheap (around $8-10USD for their products which is much cheaper than popular kbeauty brands)
