>>383270Nepotism, social media influence, and subjectivity.
A lot of the current crop of popular models (Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, the Hadids, etc.) are the children of celebrities and their parents' fame allowed them a foot in the door regardless of whether they deserved it or not.
Social media presence unfortunately trumps genuine talent a lot of the time nowadays. If you're not big on social media, that can affect how many jobs you get in an industry like that. They like big names to draw attention to their brand. And people get big on social media for all kinds of dumb reasons.
And then there's subjectivity too. While I agree with you about today's models, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that do find them interesting and gorgeous. And they're entitled to their bizarre opinions.

>>384304Sorry it took me so long to respond! I forgot which thread I posted this lol.
I think that a lot of men sadly have a complex about height, and are somehow insecure or threatened by tall women. For some reason they think they're less of a man for dating a woman taller than them. You're likely not a fuggo at all, the men are just insecure about feeling lesser compared to you.
As for advice well…most men I've dated I met online, and I make it a point to tell them my height. I've never really found that they were turned off by it. Most of the men I've dated are actually turned on by it. Men I've met offline have been friends and they asked me out. The last guy I dated before my current boyfriend was fucking tiny compared to me. He was totally a sub so that helped a lot lol.
This advice probably sucks but I've honestly not had much of an issue with it. I used to be extremely insecure about my height in school, to the point I seriously fucked up my back from slouching constantly to appear shorter. I'm 27 now and I'm still suffering from it. I just learned to accept myself and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off. Being tall is awesome and especially being over 5'9 for a woman is rare, which makes it even more beautiful imho. If a man is too insecure to date you then they don't deserve you. If you like someone just feel em out, flirt with them! If they like you back they will let you know ;)

>>385626I personally adore her and basically became a huge fan of her music in a few hours lol. A friend sent me a video of her instagram story where she recounts a story of how she went for a doctor's visit and the nurse made her pee in a cup in a closet, but something about her was offputting at the time and I didn't really watch it. For a while I just really didn't want to listen to her, literally didn't give her a chance or heard her voice, just didn't want to listen. Then I was on the Colors yt channel and was curious what their most popular video was and lo and behold it's Billie singing idontwannabeyouanymore. I don't know what it was, but the moment she started singing, something clicked and I just could not stop listening to her. bury a friend and you should see me in a crown are some of my favorite songs because I love that sort of heavy techno sound (sorry- don't know the actual genre or term for it lol). I've been consistently playing only her songs for what's probably been three weeks by now and I still love listening to her. When I watch concerts of lives, it looks so fun when the audience sings with her, and I considered buying scalped tickets for like $200 to see her in my city lol. I went back to watch that video of her peeing in a closet and lost my fucking mind. She seems super chill and down to earth, really funny. Her clothing aesthetic isn't really my thing but I just ignore it. Anyway, to each their own. You might like her, you might not. I think she's worth checking out. Maybe listen to a few songs. when the party's over is the second song I listen to from her and I didn't really like it at the time. Maybe you'll find a song you like even if you don't like her overall discography.

>>387687I'm obese myself, and I tend to collect certain things, but both are because I've struggled a lot with impulse control and having an addictive personality. I don't think for most that being fat results in hoarding, so much as poor impulse control results in overeating and overspending. A generally terrible level of self-esteem tends to also fuel the temporary dopamine rush that results from eating and collecting/spending.
Basically, yeah, probably correlated, but probably not causative.
No. 387709
>>387687I think
>>387703sounds about right. Difficulty with impulse control, sensitivity towards addiction/instant gratification and (in some people) a certain tendency to externalise things and put them off. I’ve noticed a lot of “once I get/start xyz, life will be better” type of thinking in my friends and family members struggling with obesity. Then once they do get or start xyz and it doesn’t instantly make them feel better, they lose interest and give up on it. All the new hair colours, clothes, makeup, fad diets, kitchen appliances, club memberships, physical or virtual collectibles, etc. are just another symptom of this way of thinking.
I know a woman who has a Pinterest board of literally hundreds of healthy snack recipes but has privately admitted to me that she’s never made a single one because simply scrolling through them and collecting more is enough to alleviate the guilty feeling she’d otherwise get from eating a bag of chips. So every weekend she sits behind her laptop for a few hours at a time, feeling proactive as she pins new healthy recipes to her board while eating junk food, telling herself she’ll totally start eating better after this.

My question's ultra retarded but this is my first boyfriend and I don't know any better so I'm going to ask anyway.
Last night, we were cuddling on the couch and he went in for a neck kiss which was my first one ever. For some reason…I didn't really care for it. To be honest, it literally just felt like someone's tongue licking/kissing my neck without sexual context and I didn't feel turned on at all. Everyone talks about how sexy they are so I'm wondering if there's something wrong with me or maybe he's just not a good kisser?

However, I do realize that I want to move only for superficial reasons, of course. I don't know if I'd want to raise children there if I do decide to have them. The Canadian health care system isn't perfect, but it's a good thing to have on your side if you get hit with cancer or such things.

>>388686Originally virginity meant not having been wed yet I believe, I would consider weddings a social construct. Regarding the more modern definition, the idea something is “lost” when you have sex is definitely some societal made-up bullshit
>>388689>a woman being a virgin represent purity and self controlI hate sexist nonsense like this example you listed. Men are constantly forcing themselves on women and girls, it’s not self control in most of the world as much as it is about the ability to fight off predatory men. Why aren’t men shunned and shamed for throwing themselves on women and girls left and right from puberty til death? Oh yeah because they’ve convinced us and themselves that they’re better than us some fucking how.
That kind of manipulation is how they’ve tried to control women’s thoughts, bodies and actions for ages, just look at the rampant sexism in religious texts. Men throughout history have sought to control us, raise us into feeble puppets who bow to unworthy men, who symbolically wear collars and leashes, only existing to please and mother the pathetic scrotes around us.
That’s what I think of when people want to talk about virginity. It’s always about controlling women, it’s always been.
Men who want an “unsullied” girl are men afraid of actual women (who aren’t tied in their fathers basement awaiting an incel to get her fathers permission to own her next, like trading for cattle) and men who threatened by other men, i.e. beta manlets

My other idea is that maybe getting active when having sex do something to their brains. That could be the reason the emotional response is so different after sex in comparison with after a bj.

>>390592I relate to this, I'm not in school anymore and I have barely done anything with art since then. So, a few years. I have pieces I started over a year ago I haven't touched more than a few times and it only ends up making me feel even more unmotivated sometimes. I don't really have a great answer but I know artist burn out is incredibly common.
What helps me though is being in a super specific, designated space where I don't have to worry about anything else but art. I haven't had this since I was in school though and sometimes all I want is to be able to go back to that art classroom and just do my thing. If you're like me in that sense, try setting up a space dedicated to art only and nothing else, separate from your bedroom.
No. 390625
>>390592I suffered from the same problem for a long time but I decided that this year I was going to try and get out of it. I know you said forcing yourself makes things worse and I used to feel the exact same way but I PROMISE you that it gets easier. You just have to make something every day. You don't have to finish it, you don't have to like it. You can throw it in the trash if you want to, just make something anyway. Seriously, even if you only spend fifteen minutes on it, or if you just doodle at work in your spare time. You'll never get out of the funk without starting somewhere.
I went from making a couple pieces a year to painting and/or drawing every single day and all it came down to was dedicating myself to creating.
Some other things that helped me were setting short and longterm goals for my art. Stuff like teaching myself color theory and learning how to use a new art program. I also use Pinterest to save images that inspire me and I look through them when I can't think of what to make.
I also try to write down or sketch ideas the moment I have them for the same reason, again, it doesn't have to be good.
Setting up a sm account for your work can be really motivating too, you can set a weekly post goal and it feels nice to get recognition even if it's just one or two likes.
Never beat yourself up if you don't meet goals or if you slip up. Don't let momentary lapses grow into week or month long hiatuses. Get right back on the horse if you fail. And if you just don't feel like working one day it's okay to give yourself a break OR even better, take that time to do something else related to your work, like studying or reading.
Finally, and this one is really important, don't work with distractions. I know it's super tempting to listen to music, watch movies or TV, etc while you're working but it prohibits you from fully focusing on your work and it will suffer. Trust me, no matter how good of a multitasker you think you are, distractions are no good. Be present, and enjoy what you're doing. Take a break if you get bored.
Sorry for the long ranty post, but I really hope it helps.

>>390996It really depends on the specific store, I think. I don't know about Payless in particular but I used to work at a well-known clothing chain that's popular with the high school/young college age group aka prime shoplifting age and it was also in a big, famous mall near a major city and our loss prevention was laughably bad. And we had NO cameras. In a high shrink store with lots of little things that would be so easy to conceal even on the sales floor. The management seemed to give no fucks about shoplifting or shrink but I've heard different stores in other locations being way more tough on shoplifting, it was really a mixed bag when it came to the stores.
>>391005 worked at a high security Payless but I'm sure there are plenty of different Payless stores across the country with lazy management who are more lax on security. YMMV.
You know your store and your management best. Do you know if your managers check the cameras and how often? And how anal are they about checking inventory? It's possible that if no one saw you on camera as it happened and if no one notices the item is gone, you'll get away with it. Also, isn't Payless going out of business? If there's chaos with closing sales and pushing out as much inventory as possible you might be able to slip by, but you never know.

>>391111I don't think it's "sexuality".
I'm experiencing something similar myself. Romantically, I do have crushes on girls and I can see myself spending life together as a couple with a woman. But I have no sexual desire towards women like I do have towards men. It's an interesting topic. I think it could be:
a) personal problems/internalized homophobia - because, for example, you're open-mided enough to love someone, but the thought of having sex is too much - that's environment's, society's, parents' influence. So you "block" sexual desire unconsciously.
In the example you gave - if he's a gay guy, maybe he's afraid of being attracted to women "fully" because it could undermine his position within the lgbt+ community.
I think it's mostly self-repressed feelings.
b) being on the beginning of self-discovery. It's not always black and white and known from the beginning. People nowadays feel the need to validate themselves with "I knew since I were a kid!" which doesn't help. You can change your mind anytime.
xromantic is just a harmless label. Personally, I'm okay with crazy labels because they can help people to understand their sexuality better. It's okay as long as you don't make up something and call it a legit sexuality. I mean, you can, but don't expect the world to bend for you, right

>>392360Generally that is the qualification they're referring to and it's what they focus on when it comes to postgraduate degrees or graduate positions.
If you're up against people with a similar bachelor's degree, then they might look into other qualifications though.
Is your BA the natural predecessor to the position/course you want to take on? For example, if you're looking to study history at masters level, is your history also in history? And what grades did you get? To move on to postgraduate degrees in the UK you generally have to achieve a 2:1 in your bachelors. I'm not too sure what the GPA equivalent of that would be, as it seems to differ depending on the institute.

No. 392376
>>392368Sorry to hear about your struggle, anon. I hope things are better for you now.
Unfortunately I think it was your GPA that caused the rejection. A 2:1 degree is the second grade down. The UK degree grades are a first, 2:1, 2:2, third, fail.
If it's possible for you, some UK universities offer an integrated degree where you undergo a bachelors and then an overlapping masters during your final year. It'd be more expensive than just doing a postgraduate degree, but it might be one way of doing it.
You could also look into other entry requirements. Some unis will let you do a postgraduate course or position if you have significant work experience or equivalent qualifications.

I'd like to start trying some new cheeses and eating them in new ways. I have only had the standard cheeses that most Americans have had like cheddar, parmesan, mozzarella, swiss, blue cheese and basically any cheese that you could get as an option at a Subway or something.

I think I like parmesan the best.
No. 394582
>>394541Idk if you'll be able to find them in america but as a baguettefag my favorites cheeses are :
-Roquefort, I don't know if that's what you're referencing when you say blue cheese, since there are a lot of different blue cheese, like le Bleu or la fourne d'ambert, they're all great imo. It's really nice on a salad with some walnut and a honey salad dressing;
-Tome de Savoie.
-Beaufort, a bit like swiss cheese but without holes and stronger flavor.
-Goat cheese, I like it the best when its well ripened (it gets hard and has a lot more flavor), and I eat it on a piece of bread with some olive oil on top, it's the best summer treat, but very caloric.
I could go on for a long time since I've eaten a ton of different cheese in my life, but those are the one I like most, and the best way to eat cheese imo is on a piece of high quality bread.

>>396415Blogposty, but I'll share my perspective.
Can it be cured? Nah. And to be honest, I think medication makes things worse. I wasn't formally diagnosed with BPD but had some BPD-like traits that my doc highlighted:
>Black and white thinking. Extreme aversion and devaluation of others.>Feeling suspicious or out of touch with reality.>Explosive anger. >Chronic feelings of emptiness. >Extreme emotional swings.>Impulsive, self-destructive behaviors (sometimes)>Unclear or shifting self-image. >Extreme isolation. On medication, I became actively suicidal, started self-harming and had to be hospitalized for anorexia. Despite drinking heavily before meds, I had never experienced anything this intense. I got off of ALL meds and started seeing a PHD counselor who specialized in treating BPD with CBT therapy.
I'm not exactly sure if I have BPD, but I certainly have some of the symptoms, minus the risky sex and numerous relationships thing. I've managed to keep a BF for 3 years and through INTENSE training and thought-checking I have managed a lot of my symptoms. Still deal with these issues, especially around my period, but I've largely got things under control.
I highly recommend CBT therapy and don't believe meds are very effective, as they tend to blur already fuzzy minds and leave you unable to see where your real problems end and where they begin.

If you're lucky, they'll diagnose you right there and give you the stuff.

Here's what you need to look up: perspective, color theory, anatomy. For anatomy I recommend Sinix Design's (youtube) anatomy quick tips. Also, just googling the name of the muscle you're trying to draw.
Try to simplify things into shapes and groups and you're golden.
Use references but don't just trace over them. It's important to not just try to replicate a form but to also think about why it's shaped the way it is and how it works. I.e. humans have bones, which are covered in muscles, and they move in certain ways.
If you realize you don't know what you're drawing, look it up, maybe do the action yourself, look in the mirror, so on.

Has anyone ever experienced straight girls being passive aggressive to you because you're a lesbian or they think you're a lesbian?
I've had straight girls be completely mean/snobby to me for what feels like no reason. I think it's because I'm sort of butch and they assume I'm gay (which is sort of true but I never came out to these people).
Example: there's this girl that sits next to me in one of my college classes. I almost never talk to her, and when I do it's just friendly small talk. She is really rude to me- she ignores me, has short, snide responses to everything I say, and interrupts my conversations with other people. I noticed she browsed Reddit in class, so I looked her up on there to try and see what the fuck her problem was. The first post is her patting herself on the back about how she was "homophobic before I started seeing a bi guy". Yeah, something tells me she's probably still lesbophobic, because even "Ally" straight girls tend to avoid lesbians.
Am I crazy? Am I jumping to too many conclusions? Idk anxiety is a hell of a drug.
No. 397221
>>397217nah anon she sounds straight up (pun intended) like a lesbophobic bitch and a lot of straight girls are indeed like that.
I know tons of straight girls who act that way towards a very butchy black lesbian I know but she gets it doublefold bc she’s black AND a lesbian. she’s super cool and is really blatant abt the fact that she likes girls and I have a ton of respect for her but other straight women get so weird around her and basically cling onto their boyfriends whenever she’s around.
I think it’s bc they all think lesbians are going to go after them, which is hilarious. but since they’re straight the only thing they know is aggressive straight flirting from men and have no idea what lesbian women are actually like or when they’re interested. that doesn’t excuse them being lesbophobic at all and it’s basically a form of misogyny so you should honestly just cut your losses and be careful around straight girls.

I'm by no means cool, but I'm very talkative (not to the rude girl obviously, but to everyone else). It's possible that she's intimated by that. She's also about half a foot shorter than me.
Thing is, this isn't the only time I've suspected that someone was being passive agressive to me because of lesbophobia. I was in theater with a girl who would do nothing but look at me in disgust. It's not like I'm gross- I'm a very ordinary, boring person.
>>397218Hmm. Maybe it's an age thing. All of the incidents I've experienced have been with girls age 14-21.

If you're really struggling with health issues/being sick and someone is texting you and you don't answer because 1. you feel like death, and 2. they don't generally seem to want to talk to you anyways and basically only speak to you like in a one sided conversation, is that really ignoring? Like, does that fit most peoples definition of ignoring?
Furthermore, if you tell them "I'm really, really not doing well right now, but I wanted to let you know I'm not ignoring you. We'll talk soon and I love you", and they continue to text you about shit, is that you ignoring them?
I feel like 'ignoring' is more… 'I could text you, but I just prefer to watch tv with my friends' not 'I'm feeling terribly sick and feel hated by you anyways, so I mentally, emotionally, and at times, physically, can't handle texting you'.

>>400541Depends on the language. My friend is Slovak, my other friend is Russian, and I'm a Serb.
They share a lot of common words but you have loanwords, grammar and other things that were "inspired" by other neighbouring languages. For example, where I come from we use a lot of words loaned from Hungarian and Romanian that my friends could never understand. On top of that, Russian is written in a Cyrillic alphabet and uses "half vocals", accents and other things that make it hard for someone to read a word properly without having ever heard it irl, whereas Serbian uses both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets and Slovak uses Latin only so to a foreigner they might be easier to get into. Serbian and Slovak have less "half vocals" and the letters used include the accents so they're more intuitive to pronounce. Serbian is written exactly as it is spoken, with each letter corresponding to a sound.
In general, we share many things, you could definitely get the context of a story or something but there's a lot of false friends to worry about as well as other differences so I wouldn't personally recommend it. However, Russian is far better for job prospects than most other Slavic languages by virtue of the speaking population being so huge.

>>400991AYRT it’s heavily discouraged here as well because of SIDS but I feel like to an extent it’s fear mongering, as the majority of sids cases from cosleeping weren’t safe bedsharing
- it was on a surface other than the bed (couches are a huge one due to the way they’re built)
- the parents were intoxicated
- one or both of the parents were smokers
- the parents were sleep deprived so the cosleeping was reactionary
I wish they would instead teach safe ways to cosleep because from what I can tell a huge amount of people still do it, they just get sneaky about it because it’s seen as essentially signing your child’s death certificate with all of the clashing information over it. I know that I for one definitely just didn’t talk to the midwives about it, the one time I did bring it up she started going on about it to the point I was worried I’d be reported to child protection (this is in AUS)
No. 401044
>>400886But this wouldn’t fall under codependent parenting, much like child wearing it makes the kids more independent in the long term because they have extremely secure attachments to their parents and have been found to feel safer overall. Cosleeping and child wearing both fall under attachment parenting
Something that’s interesting that I’ve found out from reading lots of both for and against studies in regards to attachment parenting is that both come to the conclusion that a child is shown to be less independent long term if they don’t form secure attachments to their parents, mother in particular, and this can be characterised in their early lives by reliance on security objects and/or pacifiers - children who follow the standards of not even sleeping in the same room during their formative years have been shown to have the worst attachments
Going off of this though I do find the American and English obsession of infants being ‘independent’ weird - if not during your infancy then when are you allowed to be dependent on your parents? They literally can’t survive on their own and yet are expected to be independent

The doctor reads 15 words to you, several times to see how many times you need to remember them and how you form associations. Then she reads you a story with those 15 words and you need to say stop when one of the words appears.
It might not be a memory problem, but focus, you might get distracted with other info (but ADD is overdiagnosed in the US). Memory skills can definitely be learned and improved, some people even made a hobby out of it.

>>401672You should experiment with different options and see if you find a chocolate ice cream that works for you. Vegan ice cream sounds like a good option. And how about lactose free? You might have the same problem that I have where there is just too much of two sugars combined so lactose free could be a more affordable switch.

You could also stop by a local vet and ask if they know of any kittens in need of a home, I figure they might have some connections.
If breeders are all you can find, just do your research and look for someone who seems to breed ethically and truly care about the well-being of their cats. It's probably gonna be expensive though if budget matters to you.

>>401811If you don’t want to spend money on Botox (that’s a bit extreme) I recommend Anti-perspirants where you twist the bottom to push up a creme.
The one I use: Regina Maximum Protection Clean Scent
It’s the only anti perspiring that has helped me. It claims to protect over 24 hours but I find it works for maybe half that. It’s super drying so if you use too much you might damage your skin. Also it sticks to clothes so wait for it to dry before putting anything on.

>>401811Pregnancy has made me extremely sweaty and also made my skin super sensitive, the only thing that has worked well is pic related
It’s a cream deodorant that isn’t drying at all, it has a lot of oils that helps keep the skin moisturised as well as seemingly blocking sweat from coming out as much. It doesn’t last very long though, I was stanky again by the next morning but at least I wasn’t throughout the day I apply it. I’d suggest looking for a cream deodorant like the anon above me mentioned but also specifically going for something that is highly moisturising, drying out the skin and causing cracks will just make you smell worse

I'm very skinny yet have no defined chin and so I get a "double chin" easily.
My lower teeth are are too far from my upper teeth which almost cover the lower teeth completely.
So I guess it's an overbite which would probably explain my weak chin.
Now I don't know if this simply can be corrected with braces or if I need jaw surgery for it…
Does anyone have experience with either of these treatments? And did it change your chin?
The before picture is the closest one I could find to my own although my overbite might be slightly less.
No. 402112

No. 402137
>>402106of course braces can fix it and you should definitely get them, because overbite isn't just an aesthetic issue. If you have okay teeth, good for you, but it won't last forever, overbite fucks up teeth terribly and you can lose your front teeth still young because of it.
I've had crooked teeth with an overbite (much much worse than the pic) and I wore braces for only a year. And it's all okay now. BUT be aware that it changes your face, sometimes significantly. And you won't necessarily gain a chin - it just moves your jaws, if you don't have a chin it won't magically grow - but after you fix your bite you can do an implant or botox there. Go to an orthodontist anon

This sounds exactly like porn addiction, even if you’re only consuming a small amount - people can become addicted to things without the consumption needing to be excessive, you need to be more mindful of your behaviour. At the end of the day it sets off all our reward centres so it’s highly addictive and literally rewires our sexualities (in before someone says I’m just antiporn, this is something that should be acknowledged regardless of whether or not you’re critical of porn)

What type of fashion do you like? Colors, etc. Those would be good search terms to start with.
Anyway, I find your post somewhat relatable because my narcissist mom never taught me shit about dressing and styling myself. My whole childhood was being an unkempt tomboy (which she hated) and my teenage years were blunder years with makeup in the pre-youtube guru era (which she also hated). It took me years, and I'd say even into my mid-20s, before I landed on a clothing style that truly suited me.
I still struggle with hairdos like braids even after watching videos, it just doesn't come to me at all.
Fwiw, my mom stopped taking care of herself and is one of those "JESUS LUVS U!" strumpets, so I had a very poor example.

No. 402534
>>402523This YouTuber has a couple videos on what to look for when buying a used car, his personality is a little much sometimes but his tips are helpful.
I guess it's pretty obvious but stick to safe car makes that are known for reliability (Toyota, Honda, etc.) Be wary of exotics like BMWs (well unless you're German lol), newer models of cars like that are super finicky because they have so many electric parts that are prone to breaking down and that adds up real fast.
If you live in an area where it snows CHECK FOR RUST! Idk where you live so it might not apply if you're from like Texas or wherever but if you get a car with a lot of rust damage you're fucked.
Be really inquisitive with whoever you're buying from. Ask if you can run the VIN, if the car has been in any accidents, any recent repairs that have been done, if there's any specific quirks, any problems with the AC/radio/whatever, what the gas mileage is like, etc. If they've got nothing to hide they'll be happy to answer any questions, trust your gut if they seem shady.
If you're using something like Craigslist I'd stick to individuals selling their cars and stay far away from dealers or companies or whatever, they're much more likely to scam or lie about any issues with the car whereas some random dude selling his car is way more friendly and happy to help out another person. People tend to get pretty attached to their cars so they'll probably be happy to sell their beloved car to a friendly person. The guy I bought my first car from knocked down the price because he liked me and my family.
>>402526 is also right, if you have a male friend or family member who's willing to tag along I'd recommend it, I fucking hate that that's how the world works but it's the truth. I'm super lucky because my dad works in a car dealership so not only does he know a lot about cars in general but he knows all the sneaky tricks that shady sellers try to catch you with. Never got ripped off thanks to him.

For cities: Meetup could be your best option. Check the webpage to find group meetings about topics you're interested in.

Don't know what your hobbies are, but for example:
- taking language classes. If you're shy, it can force you to speak and get to know your classmates, because you need to improve your talking skills.
- joining a local sport team/meeting up with people to run or walk together/etc.
- joining a book club/reading club/poetry club.
- taking art classes.

the biggest thing i know is i tend to look in dealerships that don't have their sellers on commission. that way i know they're not trying to push me to buy a certain car.
i definitely noticed this when looking for a car last summer. both my boyfriend and i were set on buying a $6k hybrid and we went to a dealership where they got commission. well, it turned out we didn't have good enough credit and the seller tried to make us buy a $10k car that wasn't a hybrid and she tried to say it was going to be better for us in the long run. bullshit.
we went to a dealership down the street where they didn't get commission and it was like night and day. the atmosphere was so laid back. our seller showed us a list of cars within our range. we ended up getting a non-hybrid car, but it had low mileage and we were able to pay it off in full at $3k. haven't had any issues at all.

Hopefully someone might know what movie I'm talking about? I watched this movie with my uncle when I was very, very young so it was around the early 2000s (the movie might've been from years before this too, I don't know) and it had a man wearing the Freddy hockey mask. I only vaguely remember three parts.
The first part is towards the beginning of the movie, the movie scenery shows that it's autumn. She enters a house and the mood of the movie goes from lighthearted, a woman coming home from work, to very scary and dark.
The second part is maybe around the middle/end. The woman is being stalked by the man in the mask, and is on the run from him. She enters into a bathroom with multiple stalls (I think it might've been a gas station bathroom, possibly in a very desert looking location) and hides in one of the stalls. The man comes into the bathroom and she looks through the gap in the stall door and she sees him.
The last part is definitely towards the end, they're sort of fighting and I think he's either got an ax or a knife, but in the end the woman wins when she stabs him or something. It's on a grassy, hilly area.
This movie scared the shit out of me as a child to the point where I was terrified of toilets until I was about 13 (had to use the bathroom in the middle of the movie and thought the mask would pop up in the toilet bowl somehow- children's brains are fucking weird). I kind of just want to watch it again. I tried googling it, and honestly I'm not sure if it's even a Freddy movie because whenever I read the summaries, none of them sound like the movie I watched. It's been so long that this could very well be a weird jumble of a bunch of different movies, but my brain really thinks all of this was in one movie. I definitely remember that the iconic freddy hockey mask was in there though, it was probably one of the first things I felt a very real irrational fear towards.

Anyone truly emotionally invested and who cared about you WOULD NOT be taking a "wait and see" approach to this situation, it would be 100% support.
Secondly, it is absolutely a dick move on him to not give you an answer because if it is "We are breaking up," then you, as the emotionally vulnerable person, must also endure the added burden of figuring out a new living situation on your own.

You don't need to wear a suit but for gods sake don't wear jeans to a job interview. It's fine to wear that for work once you eventually get a grasp on the culture and what other people wear but you should put in effort for the interview, you're giving someone a first impression of you. Even if everyone who works there wears jeans I would not wear jeans to a job interview. Potential employers absolutely judge you based on your appearance and how you dress.
Just wear any non-jean pants and a blouse that doesn't have spaghetti straps. You don't have to look dressy but jeans/t shirt/sneakers screams that you don't care. Something similar to pic related would be the lower level of acceptable casual.

>>404892>is there any remote truth in the idea that women who have a lot of sex are more "stretched out" than women who don't?Only very remotely. That is - if your 'lot of sex' includes horses, multiple penises into the same hole, or other kinds of really, really large insertions done multiple times.
Remember, the vagina is an internal organ, which means it's surrounded by other internal organs - bladder, intestines, etc etc. Having something inside it often won't change that - other organs will keep pressing against it. And that's not even taking into consideration the fact that the vaginal walls are 'elastic'.
Trust me - I've been having a lot of sex for ten years now and inserting a tampon still hurts. I'm still 'too tight' if not properly aroused (which I suspect is what men are really into and what makes them think women who don't have as much sex are 'tighter' - they're just fucking women who are not aroused)
No. 404914
>>404892Your hymen is just a membrane covering your vaginal opening. When you have sex, it tears, sheds, and is no longer present.
A hymen has nothing to do with the "tightness" of one's vagina.
A vibrator or a dildo isn't going to make your vagina a meat cavern, contrary to incel belief, and neither is having multiple sex partners. Vaginas are meant to expand and contract, it's not like a rubber band that once stretched doesn't go back into place. It's why women who've given birth aren't exactly walking around with a softball-size gape.
What can potentially happen though is a tear, which is really painful. It's usually due to lack of lubrication during intercourse or childbirth.
I've noticed since I suffered a tear, my sensation of feeling "tight" during intercourse has decreased slightly. I counter this by doing kegel exercises, which also drives guys mad in bed because they think when I'm squeezing on their dicks it means I'm orgasming hardcore, and they seem to enjoy the sensation. I've never had the odd complaint from men and I've had a lot of sex. Then again I have an innie labia, so men also never even question my sexual history and assume I'm tight anyway because of that retarded ~le roastie~ meme.

Instead they could pay their taxes and help with things that are way more important than Notre Dame, like staffing so we can have a decent number of nurses and doctors in public hospitals at the very least. All my friends who were upset by the fire that destroyed the cathedral were pissed off when they saw that.
And I forgot to say it here but another reason why people are angry is because of how police officers became way more violent than needed during demonstrations.

>>405757This, yoshitoshi abe is one of the rare non-gross japanese male artists i've found. his work looks mature and realistic in a way most other artist's doesn't.
also, pretty much none of his drawings of girls and women that i've seen are grossly sexualized, unlike other japanese works. they actually look like humans with personalities and personal agency.
he does draw males as well, but he has kind of a sameface problem with them

No. 405799
>>405790i'm also a csa survivor, so i kind of get the trepidation, but personally, i see the dark themes in his work similarly to how i see something like pan's labyrinth or one of those coming of age 90s films.
the whole theme of self-actualization, growing up and figuring out who you are or working through your issues when you're in a very vulnerable state. IIRC, lain itself was just a big metaphor for puberty, but i might be wrong.
i could be projecting a bit, as i first got into lain and haibane when i was going through a confusing, depressive puberty myself, though. it was actually kind of comforting seeing other girls feeling the things i often felt, as dark as they were, instead of having to make do with older, sexualized live-action actresses and actors in contrived high school situations that only ever scratched the surface and came off as shallow, sexualized "3000 year old loli" or "big-titted high school girl" chars in the most non-relatable ecchi bullshit scenarios ever, or grown-ass men who might be sad or mentally ill outcasts but otherwise had literally nothing in common with me, even if abe's characters seem more like self-inserts for his own loneliness and struggles instead of exact reflections of the confused, sad, maladjusted tween experience. i think most adults would be into it because they can relate to the themes therein and the sad atmosphere, but obviously i can't speak for everyone, especially not males. i personally believe the more unsavory types have a wide selection of options that pander heavily to them specifically far more than something like lain or haibane renmei ever would, so i don't consider them the target demographic. maybe just sad people? i don't know.
i'm more at ease watching abe's pieces than i am with like 99% of things put out by the anime industry, if i'm being honest. it feels like he actually respects these characters and doesn't just use them to rake in money from fanservice BS. there have been ample opportunities to sexualiza lain or the cast of haibane, but he straight-up just…doesn't take them. in an odd way, i respect him more for it, though i know there are probably still creeps who probably like that for the "muh pure waifu" aspect.

Is the body on the left even possible in real life?
On here I see girls slammed for having waists tha aren’t 26” or looking like “fridges” and my own biggest insecurity is having a large waist, but I found this fitness account for models today and it lists their stats and I noticed how none of these girls have extremely dramatic waist to hip ratios even at very small measurements. I see bodies like the left all the time on instagram and I thought it was normal and attainable if you just diet but now I’m not sure.

>>405837nope, it's not possible. if it was, tons of actual models and celebrities would have it, and not just IG chicks who only post edited photos and videos
when you're that thin with large hips IRL, both your hip and waist areas are typically more rounded, instead of the sharp, linear, exaggerated angles the girl on the left has going on
pic related is the closest example i could find of this body type IRL. notice that her waist is pretty small and her hips are large, but everything is rounded and overall more natural-looking. when you carry that much weight in your hips, everything else is also a bit rounder to accentuate them. when you're so tiny that there's
no real roundness to you, you typically will not suddenly have big hips. you'll just be kind of petite and rectangular all over (hence the retarded "little boy body" insult/stereotype people use).
literally the only women i've seen with a silhouette even approaching that combo of sharp lines/wide hips from that photo are also pretty muscular with very visible abs, and you can tell she doesn't have that going on.

I agree that heavy hips dips can resemble the hips of a male who has a naturally smaller waist/broader hips…but that just makes it a neutral trait. Having a smaller waist than hips is feminine anyway, so a pear-shaped boy like pic related would be considered to have a feminine shape. But the squareness on both people leans it more towards masculine again, so as stated, neutral.

I can see how a person has a defined waist with nice breasts/hips yet as they gain weight the waist starts to fill out. So idk but personally I'd say that's apple shaped even when skinny. Or maybe she is hourglass until hitting a certain weight and then the stomach/waist starts to gain a lot of weight because the hips/butt/thighs can't hold anymore.
IMO bodyshape is determined on where your body stores fat, and if you are really skinny it's not as easy to tell what it is. But if when you start gaining weight and it's all in your waist/stomach while you have chicken legs…that's apple. Regardless of if you have some semblance of a waist when skinny (as most women do).

No. 407733
>>407727Those neck pillows look goofy but I regret every long flight I've taken without one. If you don't already have one, definitely get one.
Honestly I never sleep on planes because sleeping around other people (even friends or family) gives me major anxiety. No matter how tired I am I just cannot fall asleep, so on overnight flights I stay up and keep myself busy with quiet things, and then I crash once I get to my destination. If I were you I'd just pound a coffee at the airport and stay up for the entire flight but I think most people would rather sleep so I'd say it's worth bringing some meds just in case you can't fall asleep but want to.
Also YMMV but for me I can get pretty bad earaches on flights, so I carry gum (or hard candy/lozenges) to help with the pressure. I also get bad nausea during landing and I find gum/minty stuff helps a little bit with that too. Not everyone experiences though but gum is always handy to have anyway and it's not like it takes up a lot of space.
Good luck anon, it's totally normal to feel afraid on your first flight so don't feel stupid. Hope it all goes smoothly!

>>405598Maybe don't make a girl recall her alleged rape to satisfy your urge to be "justified" in dumping him because he's a bad man.
Find a public record or something, and get therapy for your obsessive behavior. Leave that girl alone, she doesn't owe you answers.

>>405598>I was thinking I would message her and just saying that I want to talk about some traumatic and upsetting things, and if she's ok with that we can meet or chat online depending on what she prefers, but if not then I will never ask her again. Is this stupid?You can do that, but bear in mind that you don't know how traumatic this might still be for her. You'll have to be extremely delicate about the topic and get a feel for what she might be thinking before anything.
You could also try to find common ground in both being abused by that guy, and see if she appreciates that kind of solidarity. If not, then it's best not to pry. Opening up old wounds is never a good feeling.

Okay, this might be real dumb so sorry for that.
Is it sometimes just a genetic thing where your buttcrack starts low down on your torso? I have a medium butt in terms of it sticking out (the surface area is wide because of my hips though lol) but the crack just starts really low. I've been working out and have gains but just in the places that already have meat and my crack hasn't grown.
Pic related is close to how it looks, hip dips and all. Is this normal?

>>410523Oh anon you should get to the I doctor soon I think you have an alien butt
In all seriousness, do you really need to make up a new thing to have complexes about, don't you probably already have enough stuff to obsess over like everyone else?
Butts are different and all are fine, don't make this another thing

>>410523very normal anon
Different people have different muscle lengths. This is why you sometimes hear men complain about having low or short muscle insertion points. The other term is 'muscle bellies' (really). You have shorter muscles.

>>410539Yes, I'll go and ask about my nasolabial trenches too.
I know it's pretty silly, I just often see women with cracks that practically go up to their back and wondered if that's more common.
…after searching through pics I kind of also realized girls with butts like mine may wear underwear that gives the illusion of a longer butt lol.
>>410576>gain mass pretty quickly>short musclesAbsolutely cursed.
Thank you though, anon. I didn't know about that! I know people have different types of fibers and muscles form in diverse ways but never considered size variance somehow. Just kind of thought it would be proportional to height.

>>410942idk if you'll see this because thread dying now but here are some things:
Sucking male nips
Interesting underwear a male character wears just for the female lead (jockstraps or something)
Male character shaving his body just for her
I also like small man bigger lady size difference and very little of that is targeted towards women, but I'm not sure if that taste is common enough for you to use lol.
