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.

>I'm 184cm. Nothing fits and everything sucks.
that's an easy one to deal with, just stop being a passive idiot-consumer and get into doing stuff yourself instead of being seduced by this toxic idea that all problems can be fixed by throwing money at it. you could keep an eye out for fabric that you like, buy one nice pair of sharp fabric scissors, watch a few youtube tutorials and you would already be in business making clothes for yourself, which is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, way better then jealously looking at others on facebook.

>My head clips the top of doorframes if I wear heels.
because fuck shoes you can walk in, walking is beneath you, you prefer vehicles and you want to be a sexy giraffe all day and make loud noises when your shoe hits the pavement as to announce your presence.

5'11. shit made me anorexic bc at this height im either seen as a supermodel or as an orc depending on my bmi. i only gaf about my appearance bc im stared at a lot by shortfags everywhere i go. moids are intimidated by me except for bisexual napoleon complexes ive encountered. ive struggled a lot to feel feminine, especially when my weight is lower, my dysmorphia tells me i look like a tranny. recently as my prefrontal cortex has been developing ive been a lot less insecure. if nothing else my height is like a filter for insecure moids / a natural social power play

I have friends who are now spinsters because they did not peak at 30 and got fat instead.

good for you for hanging in there and being charitable to the oinks. i could not hang with my fat friends anymore. everything was about being sick and too tired all the time, about how to be numb and passive, about wishing to do stuff and never doing it, about luxury and entertainment and mindgames and drama. was too much for me. these days i am quite radical about it, i can't even tolerate this attitude of irresponsibility anymore, it corrupts everything.

>>20894
>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

God you're retarded.

>>20913
I can't believe this glowie moid shit crossed over from that fucking place. No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics and don't screen for defects and then leave it up to god to sort it out after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility. I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.

>>20919
>No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics
sometimes i wonder if they believe that technology will save them and 'clean up' their shitty genes and all they are doing is holding out until technology has caught up to the place that they can pretend they have always been very healthy and well-maintained. i had average genes and after many years of living healthy and mindfully i have improved my genes. i guess most people don't know this is possible.

>after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility.
i just realized i have never once in my entire life heard anyone discuss the topic of maintaining fertility. while still being downstream from health, it is a topic worth discussing. legend states fruitarian women have very light and easily endurable periods because their overall regeneration is so healthy that there is hardly any blood involved.

>I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.
heh 😂 you just described the average parents and the reason most people are so fucked up in a single sentence, i love it.

>>19759
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

>>20619
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…

>>20619
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

>>20877
>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.

>I basically want to repair all my cells and DNA.

how'd they get broken

>>20828
op has cancer I guess

>>20828
People accumulate DNA damage through exposure to UV and oxidants. The body has repair mechanisms for these but it eventually builds up. So I've been boosting the repair pathways and also trying to reduce the damage rate in the first place via antioxidants.

>>20843
>People accumulate DNA damage through exposure to UV and oxidants.

this would sound very nice in a marketing paragraph but i don't have the means to verify this sadly. so i don't know but i would expect this to be bs just from living in a culture of weaponized for-profit health products.

plus fundamentally the human digestion has been learning how to digest alive nutrients since the begining of life and processed food only for a few hundreds or thousands.

your capsules and tinctures are all highly processed dead isolates foreign to the human body and may be hard to digest while potentially doing little to no benefit. since digestion is a process requiring a lot of the body, you might be weakening yourself for little to no benefit, which is the opposite effect of what you are trying to achieve.

unless you are talking about herbal supplements, which i very much respect.

>>20855
Well everything I take is endogenous to the human body or plants (the glutathione comes from white tomatos) so it's not synthetic molecules per se. I do get what youre saying about getting it from foods and stuff rather than pill form, however its not fully practical because of the massive amounts of tomatoes, grapes, etc. you'd have to eat every day to get the effective doses.

Because beauty is mostly subjective and different countries ahving vastly different and sometimes opposite beauty standards is a concrete proof of that. You just basically said "why do others think it's pretty when i don't?

evil gang stalking asshole

flower like faces and curly hair. entangles people in their mess. deserves to get people of their gender attacking them they dont even know

>>20832
>to be a cute doll-looking girl

wow what an effortlessly irresponsible life you must have to worry about unimportant details like how your eyebrows look. i could appreciate you taking the time and energy to look a certain way, but i don't. it is a waste of the short human life to worry about superficiality.

thick eyebrows are ugly and only look good on social media and not irl

>>20832
Fashionable "beauty" is different from true beauty.

They left out his TMH era. He was so hot. Anyway I don't mind buzz cuts or short hair, but I really adore long hair.

>>20623
Love it but I also have mixed feelings cause I can't have my own hair be as pretty ffs

This new kind of mullet.

>posts AI slop
you deserve heavy hair

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. The longer the curls are the harder the it is for the tips to stay healthy. This is why traditionally most cultures with curly hair have protective braiding styles, but we live in the age of fancy shampoo and abundance so we can take advantage of that!
I've noticed most shampoos are too stripping for me so my current shampoo is actually a cleansing conditioner by Aunt Jackie's. To me that made the biggest difference and a massive one at that. Now I don't really notice much of a difference between using a regular conditioner or a heavy duty one so I think the worst thing I was doing to my curls was stripping the hair of too many oils with my shampoo so the conditioner had to work double time against the damage and barely contained it. Once a week I'll use a conditioning mask in the shower but mostly just use normal conditioner that I leave in while I wash my body. When I get out of the shower I gently towel dry and use some sort of sealing cream. I don't like the idea of product buildup (especially now that I'm using a cleansing conditioner instead of regular shampoo) so the stuff I'm currently using is basically just emulsified oils as I'm trying to avoid silicone or anything else that would build up over time. Then I let air dry and my curls are actually really happy and bouncy!
If I skip or forget to put in a sealing cream while my hair is wet my hair will be a bit frizzy but not bad so I really must stress finding a non stripping shampoo or cheating by using a cleansing conditioner personally. I originally bought after shower hair creams first and found myself using a lot but when I swapped shampoos I barely needed any and found my hair looked better too. On top of that, get a good wide tooth comb and comb daily to move the oils from the top of your scalp down to the tips. I used to avoid brushing but that was when I had a shit brush, now I notice my hair and scalp are so much healthier now that I'm combing through it. Good luck with the hair journey! My go to brand is Aunt Jackie's cause it's cheaper than the other stuff I've tried and it works miles better than this 70$ Kevin Murphy cleansing shampoo/conditioner combo I wasted money on one year. I don't have Afro hair, but the products still work amazing. I just don't go for the sealing cream for the super tight curly hair and it doesn't overdo it so long as I don't use too much

Hysterectomy also increases dementia risk.

What doesn't?

They say keeping mentally active helps prevents dementia. I don't know how the disease works but I feel like it usually comes to people who've already mentally clocked out.

I was trying to make an appointment to get my tubes tied but then Trump won and now I can get a hold of my gyno.

Well shit I’m neet and let my brain rot on vidya all day
Time to learn piano songs and teach myself a new language methinks

i have some advice. worry about more important things then how you look and when the sun is out, do something so that your skin can soak the sun up, it is very healthy. you have to know the sun where you live. where i live, i just avoid the sun when it is hottest from 10am to 2pm during the hot part of the year and otherwise i don't need any sun protection and can stay in the sun as much as i like.

I’ve been pale maxxing, I went all in on skincare and decided to give up most makeup. I like the minimal holo look so I pick glossy products without or almost no color, I use highlighter that has subtle shimmer. People have complained I need to choose saturated colors and actual eyeliner/mascara to correct my appearance but I prefer looking like an aylmao.

>>20714
wear dark clothes for contrast in fall and winter and bright colorful clothes in sprint and summer
eat more vitamin a from cod liver or any type of liver, eggyolks, etc
this will give you good glow
