samefag op once again but I recently followed joannajkenny and I like the way she posts a lot of unedited next to edited pictures, the contrast is staggering. I'd often see pictures like the one on the right and think 'there's definitely some editing there but she's probably doesn't look too different without it' WRONG. she looks totally different but in the best way because on the left is an actual human being. I'm so thankful for accounts like hers, such a breath of fresh air.

>>203417That lady is really pretty, I just wanted to say that.
I've always considered modifying yourself in the form of heavy makeup, clothing, shapewear, plastic surgery, hair dye etc a Sisyphean task because it never ends and only gets harder as you grow older. Not to mention that it's harmful for your health a lot of the time. All the money and effort you spend trying to fit into a mold set by people who don't look like you and never will, for what?
It's especially silly because I can't name a single person that looks better when shoved into an outfit that doesn't suit their body and wears trendy makeup that doesn't enhance their features, or has an expensive hairstyle that fries their hair. Not one. There's so many ways to look beautiful so I don't understand why you'd choose to copy someone else's idea of beauty.

Funny how some niche micro e-celebs preach they hate men and want to eat the rich when they happily throw their internet monies at male surgeons so they can get their face and body sliced and diced then have the nerve to talk about how much "the beauty industry sux". How can you say that when you're helping keeping them in power and making their wallets fatter? How does it feel being a man's pay pig? Women surgeons make me feel gross, too.
Anyway, I haven't used foundation in such a long time, has anyone else who stopped wearing makeup notice how strange it looks on others when you watch a tv show or YouTube video? The weird part is I've never noticed these type of things when I was wearing a full face of makeup regularly.

>>203417As a woman with a hairy arms I've given up on trying to "make it acceptable". I was mocked for it as a young teen, so I started wearing long-sleeved shirts. In high school I thought some of my friends were naturally hairless of something, then I slept over at one of their houses and they shaved every morning, daily. I'm happy when I meet another woman with stronger, visible arm hair, although I'd never bring it into a conversation because I don't want to treat it as a sensation, but as a normal part of life. I think patting people on the back for "being so brave" for having some visible scarring or stretchmarks feels like the complete opposite of normalization, but then, it's still going against beauty standards and it's weird to pretend people don't get shit on. It's such a sensitive topic to approach IRL.

>>203505Not caring less as much as that I've come to the realisation how anxiety inducing wearing (skin-enhancing) make-up really has been for me and how reliant I've been on it. When I was a teen up until my early twenties, when I had to wake up in the morning the first thing I would do (after dressing and showering etc). was do my make-up. I scheduled a LOT of time for this because I had to cover all my acne with make-up. I purposely did this before eating because if it took longer than planned (I wasn't very good at it after all nor did I have good products and tools) then I could just sacrifice breakfast. Looking back it's crazy that I would readily sacrifice my breakfast to cover up my acne (it wasn't even that bad, just chronic.). I never stepped outside of the house without make-up, no one at school or at my part time jobs ever saw me without make-up including foundation. I was always looking in the mirror, every break, anxiously trying to check if I was still looking presentable, if my foundation wasn't breaking up, fixing it in secret if need be etc.
Last year because I spent a lot of time at home because of corona, I finally broke my 10 years of chronic foundation and concealer use. For the first time since I was a young teen I left the house without foundation on. I must say it's been tempting to go back to foundation use but I've been resisting so far because I'll know I'll get caught up in the anxiety around it again and hating my natural skin.
I've also come to realize it's largely self-imposed. People haven't started treating me differently since I've stopped wearing foundation, I think anyway. People haven't commented on my skin either nor did they when my acne was far more active as a teen.

>>203508i have this with winged eyeliner its so retarded, i would do my makeup to go to supermarket until the pandemic. My experience is different thought cause people do treat me completely differently without makeup and i know its not in my head because its very obvious the way they are rude to me for no reason and it does kinda ruin my mood not because i feel unattractive but because people are mean. Whereas when I dress up and wear makeup they're either extra kind and going out of their way to help me or indifferent, never mean. This always fucks with my head because I love my bare face and putting on makeup does seem like a chore sometimes but knowing you'll get treated differently gets annoying.
>>203501armpit hair on women is so beautiful, when i went to laser hair removal i was sad for like 2 weeks because i thought my pubes and armpit hair wouldn't grow back and regretted going. I saw this girl i know at the park the other day she had hairy legs and was wearing a cute dress, I took a glance at her legs for a second while talking and I didnt want to say anything because pointing it out would be weird but I hope she didnt think I was gawking at her. I love seeing women go natural in public it takes courage and encourages me to do the same. Its seems so stupid to me now that I wasted all those summers wearing jeans because I hated shaving but wasnt brave enough to wear shorts.

Personally, I find it so damn hard to keep up with all those trends and what you should or shouldn't do and I'm very happy that I grew up before Instagram and stuff like that was a thing.
Kids at school bullied me for my hair and I hate it until today and just don't know what to do about it, because its texture is complicated and not the typical "white" hair stuff (or it is and I just don't know) and I'm white as snow, so strange stuff and my mother was never any help. Guess I will have to overcome that part one day.
Except for that, I never wore foundation, could never find the right shade, people in Germany like tanning and so all the foundations were way too dark for me when I was at the age I cared about it. Nowadays I just don't care anymore, my skin is a little bit dry, but that's all, the rest is okay.
Also, I've got Keratosis pilaris on my legs, sometimes my arms and when I was younger I was so insecure about it, today I just don't mind it. Somehow living with self-harm scars and not hiding them made me stop worrying and being 30+ made it also easier, in the end we won't live forever, why waste time in a hospital bed recovering from plastic surgery? I'm just thankful and happy that my body is still strong and healthy despite what I put it through and I know that way less people care about your looks than you think.

>>203521Have you tried letting your armpit hair grow out? I used to always get wet spots under my armpits when I used to shave. I spent so much money on those special sweat reducing antiperspirants when I could've just let my body hair do its job. I haven't shaved in 2 years and it has stopped.
I still struggle with being afraid people will stare at my armpits, but I'm completely comfortable with my legs being hairy. I'm currently embracing wearing no bras, and I love that women on campus are doing it too. My saggy boobs shouldn't be some disgrace to society, everyone has nipples. Bras are uncomfortable and fighting gravity. I have heavy breasts that sag pretty low, so it hurt letting them go at first, but it's so natural now that I feel like I'm in hell when I put a bra on. I am afraid of staring, but no one has been bold enough (or maybe I didn't notice?). I just hate we've been sold the lie that boobs should be antigravity and always be squeezed and pushed up. It killed my self esteem going through puberty and having "grandma boobs" already bc I looked at the media and never saw anyone with natural breasts that were big.

>>203522I have to say, I never understood the hate for bras, I love wearing bras and they have never been uncomfortable for me. That said, I support every woman burning her bra, let your boobs be free.
What I can say about people staring is that they don't, most people just don't care. I once had a woman stare at my scars (they are visible and cover both arms, and no, I don't have bpd, kek) while being on the bus and I looked her right back into the eyes, she never dared to look again. I don't mind people asking or having a short look, but staring is just not okay and she wasn't looking like a nice and caring person, more like judging me for something she wouldn't understand.

>>203508I feel you, I really have the worst memories of using makeup in high school. It was fucking miserable, constantly trying to cover up my acne (that I picked at), always reapplying it and it was always terrible quality/the wrong colour for me (it was over 10 yrs ago so not many beauty gurus to follow). I remember being at a bfs house and reapplying every couple of hours out of severe self consciousness that he'd see any of my acne, though in retrospect I was making it more obvious and gross.
I went on accutane after high school to clear it up and even though I have scarring now, I'm always so thrilled to go makeup free that I don't feel any insecurity about it. I feel way uglier with makeup on tbh, because that's not my actual face so anyone thinking I look good is just thinking my mask looks good.

I tried so many different deodorants and antiperspirants but no matter what if I'm hairy I'm going to be sweaty.
I wax my armpit hair so it's a quick process.
That being said, I am not ashamed anymore of many things I was ashamed about as a teen. I go out with hairy legs, I only wear bras for work because our work shirt is almost transparent and white and I have a bush. I rarely wear makeup but if I do it will be a wacky eyeshadow color with lipstick and nothing else. That's as far as I go and it's for fun only. I'm usually makeup free.

I've never been one to carr about my body hair, I have serious hairy legs and arm hair but I don't mind it. I feel a bit happy when I see another woman with hairy arms, online or offline. I always, always have been pressured to shave and wax by my female family members, they make vomiting sounds whenever we meet and they catch a glimpse of my hairy leg or something. I was always called mannish because of it. And honestly at one point, you kind of stop paying it any attention. It doesn't affect me, well not enough to shave kek. But I still shape my eyebrows and remove my moustache hair, so that's that. I don't do makeup, and minimal skincare. Although I like wearing flattering, pretty clothes. I also feel like it's comes as a nice contrast with my makeup-free, gaunt face. I like how I feel when I wear some nice clothes with no makeup.
I hope we all can learn to embrace how our body looks naturally, because thinking about it. It's surreal women, even teen or preteen girls, are expected to spend a select amount of time everyday shaving every bit of their body. It's just so fucking stupid, I'm sorry. You can do whatever, shave, wax, whatever. I think it's stupid, when girls talk about how they gotta shave and they can't come today because they don't have time to put on makeup or shave. How its 'slay' when a girl takes an hour everyday perfectly doing her face. It's not slay, you don't see men encouraged to pursue this. So much time can be put into much better things than that. Even 'vain' things like exercise or something. Or even just laying down. I don't know, I have a lot of feelings about it.

In general though, I only shave under my arms consistently because if I let it go any longer than a weekend, it feels uncomfortable. I only shave my legs to whatever point will be visible with what I'm wearing… or, if it's fall/winter and I can see the hair poking out of my tights… which yes, happens to me. A lot lol

I still struggle with pushing back on negative thoughts about my own body, but ever since I started committing more to pushing back on negative thoughts about other women (which have always been hand in hand for me with thoughts about myself)…..all I see is how beautiful women are. Like, once you shift to no longer seeing body hair, skin texture, etc as immediately hideous, it's like….god, we're all so fucking worried about this shit and yet women are so fucking gorgeous everywhere, all the time. Maybe it's just me also pushing back on automatically negative thoughts about women in general lol, because I get real into my feelings about how we're all working so hard in such an unfair world and I wish I could do more. But man, today I saw a grandma doing yoga stretches in the sun and I thought, holy shit I bet you've thought you were hideous at one point and you're there in tree pose looking like a fucking sun goddess.

(maybe a stupid question to ask on lolcow but as long are you're not a cow I honestly don't think anyone is ever going to care that much about something like that on you)
you said you can somedays think you're fine, if just average at the start of your comment and then call yourself ugly by the end of it. you're prpbably also like me in that on days when you're beating yourself up you think you're uglier. try being kinder to yourself, smile at yourself in the mirror if you can. I'm sure you're not ugly and even if you were that wouldn't make you worthless. try finding small things about yourself you do like. maybe your lips are nice or your eyes, focus on those features and remind yourself about them. these tips probably aren't worth much coming from someone else with low self esteem but I hope they may be!

I liked this GQ shoot of Emma Corrin. she's not super hairy or anything but it's nice to see leg and arm hair. she also has a fair few moles on her arms which is just like mine. I've always hated them on myself but I think they look pretty on her.
I would love a huge shift where this kind of thing becomes the norm (not shaving legs). there is still so much stigma around it. I don't want to shave mine (not to make a statement or anything. just because it's time consuming, can be painful and grows back the next fucking day) but I also want to exist in the world without being judged for it. kudos to Emma Corrin for not shaving for this shoot.

This thread is so nice to read! I've been natural for quite a while now. I think since my late teens, I never got into all the social imposed beauty bullshit. I did use makeup because of acne and because it did fit my aestethic, but I've dropped that in my 20's. Now I'm 30, hairy, braless, bareface and with natural hair. I'm so exited for more grays to grow, I'd love to have salt&pepper hair.
Can't say it's all happiness though, I'm still a bit self conscious about my body hair (very dark and thick against my fair skin) and I try to wear clothes that cover it all, even in summer. My bf is super supportive and has encouraged me to go out in shorts and skirts, he's so sweet.
Being natural was wonderful to accept myself and be confortable in my own skin. The only problem I've found is in fashion, cause I feel awkward wearing very feminine clothing while having hairy-everything. Boho/hippy/morigirl are the styles I think could work best, but I should build a wardrobe from scratch. Otherwise I prefer to dress in an androginous way, feels safe if someone catchs a glimpse of hair that way.

I really hate how the only acceptable way to be skinny is to be completely flat-stomached. I wouldn't consider myself ever being fat but I also never considered myself skinny because I always had this ridge of fat separating my stomach and pubic area that never lets my stomach look completely smooth. I could try to get tonned but the fact is I can never get rid of this raised area. It resembles Greek statues, in a way I feel like they accepted the roundness of women's bodies, and not in the way it is done today where it only matters if you're thick in the 'right' places. We try so hard to fight for the unattainable for our bodies, and for what?
No. 217931
>>217917I look very similar to those old statues, it's the sort of natural feminine body that results from barely exercising and slight overeating but not to severe excess. Honestly I don't blame people for not liking that look anymore, I'm not a fan of fake, exaggerated bodies either but fit people just look better and put more effort into their appearance.
Sucks for me, I might have been considered hot if the local village moids had barely seen any other female bodies and had nothing to compare me to because there was no photography or film or internet or global travel.

>>217931>body that results from barely exercising and slight overeatingNo, not really. Even women who exercise regularly and eat well will tend to store a decent amount of fat by the virtue of being women. In truth we burn
more fat than men during exercise, but do not lose overall body fat as easily. Our bodies are made to retain as much fat as possible so we're prepared for childbirth. We bloat easily due to hormones and have a whole reproductive system in our gut which takes up space, and the more estrogen we produce the harder it is for us to get rid of fat. Overall we are simply primed to have more of it regardless of activity levels. It's why a woman's healthy bf percentage range is much higher than that of men's. The sort of body shown in
>>217917 post is how the healthiest, strongest gym-goers I know look outside of bodybuilders cutting to achieve dangerously low (and unsustainable) percentages. The kind of flat, "flawless" body you're idealizing doesn't even exist among fit people 24/7. They are posing/flexing, working with good lighting, holding it in and taking photos pre-meal to obtain the most flattering image.

I am addicted to dyeing my hair and I wonder if anyone in this thread would have thoughts or advice.
Multiple times now I've gone back to my own hair colour just to dye it back to my "favourite" bright hair colour when I can't stand the feeling anymore. I have conditioned myself to be afraid of being boring, and that is ultimately how I feel with my own colour: not special enough.
Logically I know nobody else cares what I look like. I find natural women beautiful, but I fail to be one myself. I don't use social media, but I have this intense snowflakey need to look different from other people, and it is embarrassing to feel that way. The feeling contradicts with who I truly am. I'm so tired of this addiction.

>>217917I'm glad you posted this anon because I've been obsessed with my lower stomach for ages. It does feel comforting that other girls feel that way because the majority of my girlfriends are naturally super thin and can't gain weight.
The last 3 months I've probably been the most dedicated to the gym, I don't drink all the time anymore and my diet is pretty good considering that I don't eat out much at all and cook a lot. Still after all of that my lower belly is still crazy. Everyone's body is different but is it possibly yours has to do with bloating as well? I feel like I have a huge issue with bloating, so if anyone has advice it would be greatly appreciated.

>>217917>>217940I've looked like that statue in the abdomen area since I was a preteen and I've always been very athletic. It's just some people's fat distribution, I also happen to be Greek so maybe it's ethnic, don't know.
My mom also looks like that, so does my grandma. It's not "doughy", it's normal. No matter how much you work out, if your fat distribution is a certain way you won't be ripped with a six pack because women don't and shouldn't have a bf% that low unless you like being malnourished and losing your period.

Just wanna say I think women with big noses are fucking gorgeous. I don't have one, but lots of other women in my family do yes, we're jewish and they think I'm just being nice when I compliment them, but I'm really not. Whenever there's that rare Streisand or Sarah Jessica Parker who's prominent in media and doesn't get a nose job, I watch their movies/shows/music videos/etc and just fucking marvel at how much I enjoy looking at a face that hasn't been sanded down into the same fucking pixie cuteness. There's such an incredible, proud, queenly beauty to them.
Tbh as every year of my life goes by, I realize more and more how fucking gorgeous I find everything women are supposed to blast away. Like, a 50-something woman with crows feet and freckles and all that is fucking luminous to me. It sounds so cheesy, but when I can tell a woman is comfortable in her skin, it shows. I don't want to act like "oh, someone finds this hot so now you have worth too," but also, jesus, I don't understand how someone can be attracted to women and only ever find one kind of idealized 22-year-old attractive.

I don't wear make up, I don't shave, I don't wear deodorant and I don't wear a bra. I do wear some eau de toilette and mascara if I am going out to a restaurant, though. Although I'm blonde, I think I have some sort of hormonal imbalance that causes my bodily hair to be much more pronounced. I do pluck my little mustache because I don't like the illusion of jowls it creates on my face, if that makes sense, haha. It is very liberating to not wear deodorant nor shave. I know some anons might find it dirty, but it doesn't matter to me. Deodorant is toxic and I believe in embracing b.o. Especially if one eats a healthy diet like I do, b.o. is not necessary foul. In the same way I hope to contribute to shifting expectations of women, or people in general, by not shaving nor wearing make up, I hope to contribute to people understanding the purpose of b.o. on a healthy person. We need to let our bodies breathe and relearn what was always meant to be attractive to humans: natural faces, hair, textured skin, good fat on women, and body odour. In a similar fashion, I hope to heal my hirsutism. I don't believe body hair is bad and won't start shaving again, but I do believe that hormonal imbalances need to be addressed and healed from to live a healthy, functional life. If my hirsutism is a byproduct of unhealthiness, that shouldn't be encouraged.
No. 223536
>>217917Women need fat, but unfortunately we don't get enough healthy fats due to the diets that are most popular. A lot of them cause bloating due to emphasising plant-based foods which are difficult to digest for humans and not a good source of fat, whereas animal-based foods are discouraged, despite providing the most digestible sources of fat that women need. As such, I do think the pouch that a lot of "healthy" women also seem to have, isn't actually healthy at all. Gut issues are far too common but they shouldn't be. I obviously can't speak for every woman and everybody has a different situation that explains why they look the way they do, but this is a common situation. In addition, a lot of women have very poor posture, either due to a simple sedentary lifestyle, wearing heals, trying to push their butt out for more curves, everything combined or something else. Picrel is an example of a woman fixing her posture. The source of the picture is Flobility. The woman didn't lose any weight, her fat was simply distributed more efficiently since her body could carry it better. Subsequently, I think women's bodies would look differently if they were treated right in terms of utility. Overall, there are a lot of factors that contribute to why a body looks the way it does that might not seem obvious. You don't have to agree with me and I don't want to derail the thread, so feel free to be skeptical and research what I said for yourself. But I think it is valuable to acknowledge that modern beauty standards are unrealistic whilst realising natural bodies resulting from these standards are unhealthy themselves. A certain lifestyle is advertised with overly edited, groomed and posed models so you will think you're the problem for not looking the same way, and the only two options are to constantly attempt imitation of that model by following her lifestyle, or to accept you're just "different" and "natural", shifting the goal but not the means, as opposed to realising that maybe that lifestyle isn't healthy at all, since it can barely be represented by someone real. I think the body positivity movement that has gained a lot of traction over the years contributes to this. It's an unfortunately thin line and comparable to how women's sexual liberation was hijacked, leading to women thinking sluttiness/prostitution is empowering. Anyway, I'm going completely off topic, but it'll make sense.

I stopped shaving my legs way before but this year, since I'm not in college anymore, going to swimming lessons, or dating, I stopped shaving my armpits but also stopped wearing sleeveless clothes because, where I live, that's extremely rare compared to women not shaving their legs. I feel comfortable with my own body hair when I'm alone (since I consider myself GNC, it makes me extra happy, and it's something new to me since I've never let it grow this much before) but even at home I have to wear sleeves long enough to cover my armpit hair completely out of embarrassment when my parents are around.
For the first time, my mom saw my fully grown armpit hair yesterday when I wore a tank top. All this time since I decided not to shave it, I've been hiding it from her. She told me that I should shave and that it makes my sweat smell stronger which I don't think is true because I also got strong body odor from there without body hair. Then she told me that it looks ugly and that kinda made me feel like shit especially with the uncharacteristically rude way she said it. Besides, in my opinion, the stubble I get (and the one she gets kek) a couple days after shaving looks even uglier. I don't get why it's such a big issue for her, every third woman here lets her leg hair grow freely and even my mother herself tries to pressure me into wearing shorts and skirts outside despite not shaving my legs (because, surprise, I'm too self-conscious about it), I even had a skin condition recently that left me with horrible dry skin patches on shoulders, arms and legs, my legs look fucking disgusting right now because of it yet she thinks my natural armpit hair looks too ugly not to shave? lmfao

Anyone else stop wearing makeup regularly but still like watching makeup tutorials or browsing new products? Now that I only wear makeup for special occasions, I actually enjoy it when I do wear it, it feels fun and not like a daily chore of making sure my eyeliner looks even at 6 in the morning.
>>296421>She told me that I should shave and that it makes my sweat smell stronger I deleted my post before because I wanted to reply to you, but I’ve heard this before and I’m almost certain it’s bs spread by razor companies. I’ve done a combination of shaving/waxing/leaving my underarm hair alone for years and my pits definitely aren’t less smelly when they’re hairless. If anything, they are slightly
more smelly after I wax. It’s always weird to me how women are expected to have long hair but the slightest bit of body hair is somehow a hygiene issue. If hair is so unhygienic, shouldn’t we shave our heads too? Body hair is not unhygienic. As long as you’re cleaning yourself properly and wearing deodorant, you’re not gonna have odor issues.

This thread was such a breath of fresh air to read. I've been on a journey the last few months of not shaving certain areas of my body to see how they feel. I've always had a hairy vagina, could never be bothered with it and gave me the worst ingrown hairs, so I've mostly just been experimenting with my pits/legs. Have since come to the conclusion I don't mind my leg hairs growing out a bit but prefer to keep them short/shaved, though I'm loving having hairy pits! I agree with a lot of the anons here that it looks quite soft and feminine. When it comes to trimming downstairs though….. my god. I hate it. My neck hurts, my back aches. I like to keep it trim, because I'm italian and I have quite wiry, thick pubic hair, getting too long means there's about an inch of hair covering my clit and forming its own hairy gate to my vagina. But trimming can be so tedious and time consuming, not to mention accidentally knicking yourself with the scissors.
I wish places that waxed vaginas would offer trims, like a vagina barber. That way they could get all the places I can't see looking down, and it alleviates some anxiety about it.

I think because I thought "girls should have soft skin" and i didn't. If people ever touched my skin, they acted surprised/disgusted that it was actually rough and bumpy. It made me so insecure. It got worse for me in my 20s and began to get inflamed. It spread to my breasts and buttocks. I was told it would go away as I got older but it didn't, and I've tried all the creams, supplements, exfoliants etc. and it doesn't budge.
I can't keep up with the expensive and time-consuming routine to make my skin soft so I just do minimal exfoliation (with an Italy towel, once a week) and basic moisturising. I still wish I had soft, clear skin but I don't obsess over it anymore. As I've got older I've noticed a lot of people have it and they are not any less attractive to me so why should I be against it on my own body.

>>299087Same!! I have severe stretch marks and KP but ive started to just love my body instead of being self conscious! I have dark/tan skin so often theyre like extremely light on me and its always made me insecure
Wholesome memory but when I was 14, I was im the girls changing rooms for gym and the stalls were full so I just had to suck it up and change with everyone and one of the older girls complimented me and said they looked like tiger stripes and ever since then Ive just thought of it like that hehe

>>304574Same. I freaked out as a teenager when my thighs were covered in red stretch marks but now they're silver and look kind of cool.
>>304576Nice. I'm in a similar boat, I'm bigger than before, no makeup and I only shave my armpits (I don't wear shorts or skirts so no one knows how furry I am haha). Feels good to be natural and less time dealing with ingrown hairs.

It’s always a reality check to me how many women there are who don’t dare to leave their house without make up and feel pressed to conform to the usual modern beauty standards. Where I hang out, most girls don’t even shave their legs and only wear make up decoratively it’s actually rare to see someone in full cake face. but when I hang out with a totally different social circle (recently had rich normies) than mine through friends, and many of the women have lip fillers and procedures done and it looks weird and uncanney valley to me. But they all do it, their friends do it, their boyfriends think its normal while I sit there and think girl you would look so much prettier without fillers
>>303954i tried shaving off my hair down there a few times and I always regretted it and hated the look and feeling of it. Plus I realized that in other women full shaved looks like plucked chickens, while well groomed pubic hair looks cute and pretty to me. Sometimes I trim it a bit when it gets too long for my taste but zero hair just looks weird imo.

I'm 25 and my grays are coming in strong. I've had them since 21, but now there's a streak forming in the front and one in the back. I think it'll look cool as hell. They're not even gray but like bright white.
>>310163nice!!
No. 362859
>>362835Yeah, avoiding it completely or at least wearing it on rare occasions and always cleaning your skin afterwards seems like the wisest option.
>>362848I know what you meant anon, I may have read your post too fast and didn't process the "alter" element that is essential. Shaving is more drastic that wearing a ring that you can easily take off for example, the connotations are also very different.
No. 362862
>>362756This is a small motivation for me too, I already don't like shaving but I hope it does help other women and girls feel like it's ok to feel the same. This feels like a retarded brag to say but I do fit the conventionally attractive archetype of a petite delicate woman so I like the idea of also not being hairless and kinda defying the "hairy women are brutish ugly ogre-like creatures while cute girls are hairless fairies" idea.
When I see other women who clearly take care of themselves but also don't shave (sadly rare) it's actually a bit attractive to me, it comes off as natural and confident. Few women are genuinely shockingly hairy to the point where it's disgusting… same cannot be said for men.
>>310248people don't even actually feel satisfied with that answer. My bf either doesn't care or casually likes different parts of my body hair and critics either respond by saying that's not normal and he must be a fetishist freak, or come up with mental gymnastics for why I need to also appeal to other men.

>>362862Conventionally attractive women can get away with being lazy and slobbish and will still be called sexy. Unattractive or overweight women who are lazy or slobbish get hated on by both men and women. Look at the difference between how a thin conventionally attractive woman who doesn’t shave her legs or armpits (like Charlotte Free) is perceived by the public vs how someone like Lena Dunham not shaving her legs or armpits is perceived.
When you see women talking about how they hardly shower it’s usually attractive thin white women because bigger girls and ethnic women are constantly having to fight the stereotype that they’re dirty or smelly meanwhile for attractive thin white women it’s a humblebrag to talk about how slobbish they are.

I know it's not that deep, but I started to appreciate my curly hair. Just dried my hair and finally, for once, I was happy with it. It's 2b/2c ish like picrel, it's not that curly, but by my country's standard it is.
I don't know how it is in other parts of the world, but long straight hair is the standard in my country and keratin treatments are in trend for definitely more than a decade, even considered getting one when I was in highschool, glad my parents didn't let me tho.
I saw a commercial on IG these days to one of those salons and I found it so sad - the before pictures were of ladies with severely damaged wavy/curly hair and they all got keratin'd, it's all boring. I used to fry my hair with the straightener too, I thought my curls made me uglier. Neither me, my mum or any hairdresser knew how to style and care for it, let alone have access to curly hair products and as a result, it looked frizzy and ugly pretty much all of the time.
Never expected people to compliment my hair and me loving it since I went curly girl in late 2023, feels liberating.

How do I accept the fact that I’m a short pear shaped woman? Most of my body fat distribution is on my hips and thighs and it’s been like that since puberty. I’ve always wanted to be very tall and thin because I love the way how it looks on women and you can get away with so much variety in fashion. I feel like because of my height and shape I’m limited and the types of clothes I wish I could wear. I know I could lose weight and/or I get liposuction on my bottom half but I can’t change my height. Is there a way of dealing with this?
Picrel is how I wish to look and dress
No. 378424
>>378419You’re literally me. I’m exactly the same in every way. I can’t look good in cool clothes like your picrel due to the way I was born and it makes me so mad. Just so you know, losing weight does not help, ask me how I know. You will still be pear shaped, your ratios stay the same (or can even get worse, which is what happened ti me. The fat evaporated off of my upper body but my lower body stayed the same, making me look even more exaggerated). The only option to actually change the shape is lipo, as you say, but doing that just feels wrong to me.
I struggle to find anything that looks good on me that isn’t extremely feminine, but I HATE feminine styles. So everyone perceives me as a feminine woman because of what I have to wear even though it’s not my thing at all and (along with other issues) makes me feel like I’m just playing a character when I go out in public.

>>296494I'm even more attracted to femmes who don't put makeup, shave their arms, private parts and legs than those who do. In fact, women with "imperfections" look so beautiful. Imagine you're in a store and you want to buy a chair, all the chairs are black and white with no designs. They look good on any occasion and they're in style always. But they're… Boring. Nothing unique about them. Then at the corner of my eye I see one with a playful design, a different shade of color. You bet I'm going to buy that one or at least be more impressed by it. Yeah maybe some people will think it "doesn't fit the mood" or it stands out and destroys the harmony, but fuck that. If I woke up everyday and everyone was acting the same it would feel robotic and lifeless, if we're all "perfect" caricatures of each other like the media tells us there's no fun. So if I saw you or any femme woman like that I'd fall in love, believe me.
Also hairless women especially young ones look so much like kids it's odd lol

>>378419>>378424That style looks a bit frumpy on any shape unless you're very thin or very tall, and you're underestimating how thin she is on that picture. You wouldn't look pear shaped at her weight. I most definitely start losing the pear shape once I get to like bmi 17.
Not saying you should do that, just that you're basing your expectations on a person who put a lot of effort onto having that body because that was literally her job. You can't expect to just happen to look like that naturally.

I've been feeling so insecure of my hairiness after getting into a relationship. Before this, I never felt any way about my hair, never did anything to it. Legs, arms, pubes. But now I'm seeing someone, and I keep thinking about it. She shaves everything basically, and I'm the opposite. She's never complained at all, but I get so nervous when she goes down on me and I can't even enjoy it. She hasn't really said anything except call me fuzzy as a compliment once, but I wonder since she shaves everything, she'd want me to, too.

Bumping this thread since this is a topic that's really dear to me. I'm done with shaving entirely, the last thing I gave up was shaving the light mustache I have. It's hardly noticeable unless someone is really close to begin with so why feel insecure about it? I got a genuine unprompted compliment on it recently and was encouraged to continue to keep it, which made me really happy.
Tbh, sometimes I can't relate to body positivity stuff because it's coming at this angle of "let women be ugly! It's ok to have hideous nasty features!" Which I guess I agree with but I have genuinely grown to have not just neutral or accepting feelings about several things like body hair, stretch marks, and scars but actively positive ones. It makes me feel feminine and kinda naturalistically free. This might sound kinda autistic but when I see wild creatures of the earth with fur and patterns I find it really beautiful and I've evolved to see my own body in a similar light, of course women are more important than animals but my point is that we are still organic beings and not plastic figures or imagined concepts. The grass really is always greener on the other side because I honestly think I'd like to grow a little more, I genetically don't produce much and my hair is straight everywhere so it appears less dense
I admit though that it's easier to be positive about this stuff when you're young and healthy… I hope that I can maintain a confident outlook as I age and my body inevitably changes.

>>438082I agree with you too. I read a quote about viewing humans the way we view trees. in nature unique or different things just are. you observe them, appreciate them for what they are, and move on. you don't say this tree needs to get a nose job to look more like that other "more perfect" tree. there is no "perfect" or standard. things just are as they are. I wish humans could look at themselves this way. Just let yourself exist as you are.
your last sentence is also extremely true and honest. it's so easy to celebrate your natural state when maybe your natural state is somewhat attractive or healthy or young. i sometimes think about how if i had a real life affecting disfigurement or disability i would probably not have the same outlook. in those cases i can see how it would be hard to accept and celebrate and wouldn't fault someone for making changes. i don't know.

i stopped caring about how i looked to most people anyways (i'm aroace so i have zero motivation to look sexy for moids), but that really drove to home how fast humans can change their minds on what they deem as attractive/unattractive.

>>304145Yes. I have a very distinct memory of me in 3rd grade getting my picture taken for school. The photographer told me to relax my shoulders, they were already relaxed. My shoulders poke out straight and go on for what seems like miles, kek. I've grown to like them for a while but when I met my bf he told me liked it which surprised me because I had never ever been complimented on them before, I must reiterate I already liked them It's not like an "all about that bass" thing where i was like "well a man wants to fuck me so i guess i am sexy!" I do so like being tall and broad shouldered, I used to hate how people would assume I was athletic, now I love it. I like being able to pull off jackets like picrel.
