No one votes for it… studios, execs, etc. pay for it just like they do for a star on the walk of fame.

>>199459
This cover photo has 0 sex appeal, like???? Magazines should have done cover stories about this atrocity and have an actual hot man as comparison.

>>199442
lmao reminds me how my mom used to gush over him, until he stopped playing wolverine.

>>199442
Never seen those types of wrinkles before, they ruined his face

Let's be controversial, nonnies. What's a popular pattern (commercial or indie) you see all the time and absolutely hate? For me I get what the Zadie Jumpsuit is going for but sometimes I just have to hatescroll its tag because it never seems to look good on anyone. It literally reminds me of when Ariel had just gotten legs and covered herself with an old sailboat sheet. Makes thin women look frumpy and larger women look like they can't find anything that actually fits/flatters.

>>199293
I don't sew for dolls, but my friend does, and I researched about it with her for a bit. You just used elastic thread like you would for a human-sized shirred top. Hope someone else here can give you more detailed advice. Good luck anon!

>>199338
It looks like something I'd make for loungewear that my husband would hate.

>>199338
Yeah those wrap jumpsuits and dresses are really frumpy. I see them everywhere (ready made) on Etsy.

I recently rediscovered this cow print cotton fabric that I bought and promptly forgot about. I have about two yards of it. I'm thinking about making a simple A-line miniskirt, or maybe a pinafore with a short skirt. What do we think?

>>199421
A skirt would be really cute! I think a pinafore might read a little too "farmgirl". If you'd like another suggestion, maybe a cropped jacket?

>>199206
Thank you I hope it goes well for you too!! I had such a hard time stopping. I'm about 5 weeks in, I did have a night in between where I got tipsy and had about 3 drinks, but I easily moved on from it and haven't had any more urges. I'm so happy to not be thinking about alcohol constantly anymore.

Has anyone tried to replace alcohol with weed? I've gotten high twice since I've been sober and idk it just feels wrong to me.. like I feel like I'm relapsing even though weed isn't bad for you like alcohol.

>>199268
I tried but I didn't really enjoy the feeling of being high so it didn't work for me. I don't think you should feel guilty about it but be aware that your inhibitions are lowered- don't end up letting your high self convince you to drink and end up drunk + high.

Not sure if this is the right thread for my question, but has anyone else experienced alcohol losing its effect? (How) has your reaction to alcohol changed over time?

I used to drink excessively in my late teens and early 20s, but now it either doesn't do anything for me or I go from sober to drowsy, sick and/or melancholic with nothing in between. The euphoria and carelessness that used to come with drinking when I was 18 seems to be gone forever. Maybe I should call myself lucky because drinking lost its appeal ever since. However,the urge to numb my social anxiety is still there which made me turn to harder drugs. During the years between drinking losing its effect and me gaining access to other drugs my social life was pretty much dead which doesn't seem healthy either. I feel like there's no way to fix this. It's either health + loneliness or addiction + at least the semblance of a social life.

jesus fuck, anon. i had pancreatitis and was hospitalized for it recently, but i was drinking hard liquor on a daily basis for something like 4+ years, I didn't know it could come on so early & from low-alcoholic-content beverages like beer. I took about 3 weeks off and went back to drinking, i'm not gonna lie. there are a lot of reasons, but the 'social anxiety' bit you mentioned is definitely one aspect of it. IDK how bad your pancreatitis was, I was in the hospital for around 6 days, but I was kind of appalled when I started doing my own research on living with the illness and realized my doctors totally did not give me the full scope of information on how to manage the condition. How much did your diet have to change afterwards and what are your danger foods? I realize they're different for everyone but I honestly don't even know how fast your body is supposed to RESPOND to a pancreatitis flare-up so I have zero clue how to eliminate potential suspects from my 'diet no-gos' list.

>>199286
>>199291
ayrt, i suppose you are right. But i've always ever seen pretty women with ugly guys and not the other way around.

It's not like i am a butterface because my body does not compenbsate for my face either, i am slim but flat as a board

>>199335
I have no idea what this guy is like but i'm starting to want to find out, if he's attractive AND reliable i swear i'm gonna rip my hair out. I really hope things are genuine and we're compatible, i feel selfish for feeling this way almost

>>199335
Exactly. Most women have to date down because most men are incredibly ugly. Fat, sloppy round faces, flabby jawlines, ugly chin hair, receding hairlines, faces full of lines at 27. Horrifying.

>>199190
Very odd to accuse someone of a personality disorder based on a brief post on an image board. Above average women exist.

I've dated down several times throughout my life, mostly because guys 'on my level' tend to be arrogant assholes. The one guy that I dated (briefly) who I did have a strong physical attraction to came from Old Money, though, so he was insufferably elitist and also had mommy issues. Bonus round! he nearly died by overdosing on heroin so like, was not a particularly stable individual. But the dick was great, and we went to a lot of fun fancy parties together. The guys that i've dated who have not been lookers, there are other benefits to being in a relationship with - this is why i think it's so stupid when incels complain that their looks are the only thing holding them back. I have noticed that these 5/10 guys take getting dumped really hard, though, like in a collapse-in-a-sobbing-heap-on-your-floor-and-refuse-to-move kind of way, or a vengefully-break-into-your-apartment-to-steal-back-presents-given-while-dating kind of way. One guy threatened to commit suicide and had to be checked into a mental ward by his parents. Currently I'm quite happy with my 5/10 bf of the past 2 years, he's incredibly smart and I love his sense of humor. His job is also FASCINATING and I feel like I learn new things about the tech industry every time I ask him for updates on his projects. I'm genuinely proud to be with him even if he's never gonna be a runway chad.

>>198824
OP, I would say at least make the attempt to go for it or you'll wind up kicking yourself. The worst that can happen is that he turns you down, in which case, it's fine - just zip up your ego, pay him a compliment, and keep on having good conversations together. But it's really rare for 9/10 supermodel people to find other people who are in their same 'attractiveness' category AND ALSO have good, interesting personalities. This guy very well may have dated some hot, vapid people in the past and now is looking for someone he has a stronger personal connection with. + the only way you become the 'desperate gf' is if you let him treat you like one and live. Dump that motherfucker if you feel the tide start to turn in that direction, for reals.

>>199326
> but as I'm approaching 30 I'm actually way more critical of men's looks than I was, and would be terrified to be married to an average guy that'll only keep getting uglier.

Honestly? Same. I think it’s mostly because I’m aging well (and should continue to based off of how my parents have aged) and late 20s/early 30s seem to be when you can really tell how men are going to look in future. If it looks like they have never touched a facial moisturizer or are already balding/have a receding hairline? Sorry pal. It’s a no from me, unfortunately.

>>199350
Looks blonde to me too.

>>199350
>>199352
Right, but if I'd said blonde there'd be someone saying that's actually light brown. People get weird about gatekeeping what blonde is.

>>199350
I'd call it light brown too but then people have different cut off points on when they think one color flips into being the next.

>>199361
Lol, I didn't know that. Fair enough. People can be weird about red hair too IME.

>>199361
>People get weird about gatekeeping what blonde is
This is absolutely true. I grew up with an unusual shade of light brown/blonde hair and I was relentlessly teased by other girls for having 'grey' hair. It made me want to lighten my hair to a 'proper' shade of blonde, and I was only 7 or 8 years old.
Nowadays, blonde people tend to say I have brown hair whilst everybody else considers me blonde. It's very strange.

>>199315
Unrelated but I enjoy how this youtuber does anti-hauls instead of promoting consumerism.

>>199315
I can see why people want kids, like you can easily whip up a pro-con list. For me the easiest way to explain is that even if it was just the pro side without the cons, I still wouldn't want kids because I desire nothing that family life brings. I wouldn't even want the greatest, smartest, daughter, and then in reality I could end up with a terrible ADHD autistic male child, which makes rolling this dice an absolute no-no.

>>199270
>You know nothing of the future the children will bring. They might surprise us all.
have you seen zoomers anon?

>>199289
based anti-natalist nona

>>199306
Maybe you're just a retard, anon. As long as we've had writing, people talk about how bad life is.

I was reading Pope Innocent III's writing the other day and he talks about how disgusting people are for being filled with dread, anxiety and depression knowing they're brought into the world to die. Then they procreate anyway to please themselves.

This was in the 12th century.

>>199061
NTA, but alriiiight.

>>199129
Most men in this thread aren't attractive at all though. You're telling me that creatures like these >>196114, >>196123 and >>199129 are considered attractive?

>>199184
Not to me, but to them, obviously… You also cherry-picked an example (your first) where anon said the guy was ugly but she wanted to fuck him anyway, practically all of the thread's posts are an anon saying or implying a guy looks hot, or saying the guy has a certain swag or something to him. It's not a covert neo-nazi or rightwing fangirling thread, you sound ridiculous. It's so annoying when people criticise controversial posts in a deliberately controversial thread, shits up the flow of the thread.

>>199202
First of all I didn't cherry pick anything, I picked a few ugly ones randomly because I'm not gonna go through the entire thread and quote every single post that's relevant to my point. "Not to me but to them obviously" yeah and Putin is attractive in my opinion, so by your own logic he fits this thread. And my post didn't mention nazis or politics at all, so I don't even know why brought this up.

Anyway, my next nomination is Dicaprio but only when he was young. He looks gross now.

He’s so attractive to me

>>199188
>Do you guys bleach your assholed
No.
>can you recommend a brand?
No.
>maybe you guys have natural suggestions?
Love yourself

>>199188
Why? Do you think the men you're having sex with give a shit or have their own testicles bleached? They won't even fill in their eyebrows or cover up a pimple for you. You surely aren't doing this for yourself, it's not like you can see your asshole unless you pull your cheecks apart in front of a mirror.

>>199220
>>199199
>>199198
Thank you anons! I guess I just have a really low self image, and anime/porn doesn't help when they're all beautiful.

>>199222
I don't know if you're straight and doing this for a guy/partner but I've dated asshole obsessed guys and never heard a bad word about mine being dark. Tbh I think men are very much aware of the function of assholes and the dirtiness of it's function is the root of why they fetishize it in the first place. Sure they want it clean but the pigmnet change is linked to that forbidden nature of it, it's part of the appeal for them. So I don't know if guys (or even women who are into that) actually want them all perfect and pink. Even if they did… seems like a ridiculous chore to add on to your beauty regime.

>>199226
Thanks anon, when you put it like that it makes all the more sense. Yeah I have a bf and have just been super self conscious for so long, now after thinking all night about what you all said, not so much.

>>199174
in my particular case on the 3rd or 4th day it stops and the next day it comes back. it has happened for a while like that, but im not sure what causes it.

>>199178
I’ve never been to a gynaecologist and I’m too scared to go. Hope it won’t be as drastic to call for surgery. I’ll check it out if tons of lube doesn’t work. Maybe my mistake was not having lube in the first place.
Just wondering if it’s supposed to be this difficult for others. I thought sex was supposed to be natural and not this difficult to… get it in there

>>199243
That’s EXACTLY what mine has always done. I call it the fakeout day and you must never fall for its tricks

>>199219
anon I am in a similar age and similar position, start out small & try beginner dildos or start stretching with dilators. love yourself in the way you want to be loved

I'm so annoyed I got a yeast infection, I knew something was up after I had sex with my bf (not his fault my body is just super sensitive and I guess something wasn't a-okay) but it's the weekend so no pharmacy is open and I'm in pain/itching and I wanna die. UTI's and Yeast Infections are one of the worst things

>>199089
I use quads. I too was weighing whether I should buy quads or in-lines, but ended up deciding on quads. This thread is what tipped the scales for me >>>/ot/835183
Look at that, a month ago I had trouble keeping balance, now I'm already skating backwards, huh, I wasn't aware how quickly I became comfortable

>>199153
My city is on 2 large rivers and I live right next to one, 5 mins walk. There's a huge bike track all along it, perfectly bumpless and miles and miles long, and the scenery is gorgeous. There's a skate park at about 45 mins from me, but I'm not nearly on the level to try ramps yet, maybe next year.

>>199156
I'm subscribed to the channel I linked, she's got many vids on how to skate and I like her vibe. Helped a lot with learning.

I have a really fat ass, not in a bragging kind of way but literally pants never fit me properly(loose around my stomach, tight around my thighs/ass). I've started body recomp and have been trying to bulk up a bit and I'm wondering if this will only make things worse. I'm not trying to grow the booty, if I can put it that way but I still do want to get stronger in my legs/thighs. Right now I'm doing squats in combination with some of the leg machines at the gym, 30 minutes of cycling/cardio…. will gaining muscle in my legs just make the clothes situation worse or better? Do you generally go up or down a size when recomping?

>>199253
First time I've heard of "decomping", but please don't follow it. It goes against our current knowledge of physics and biology. Just bulk up.
For me, bulking up made my clothes looser since I got more taut and it never got to the point where I have to change clothes up because I'm a woman and my muscles just don't grow huge no matter how many eggs I eat.

>>199259
Anon if I'm understanding correctly though, bulking just means gaining muscle via strength training and eating in a caloric surplus? I still have fat to lose though(10-20 lbs) and I don't want to put on any additional fat. Would it be wiser to just lose weight first and then bulk?

>>199262
>Would it be wiser to just lose weight first and then bulk?
Absolutely! And that's the right way. Sure, it'll last longer to get to where you want since it's in 2 phases, but that's actually achievable and scientifically sound.
