I agree with this. but regardless, it's ok to wear it if it makes you feel more confident/better about yourself.

i think makeup can be artistic expression i also think sometimes people are lying about it being about artistic expression and would in fact be a lot happier if they had never been told they had to wear it

I saw a comment on FB and thought it would be an interesting topic for discussion. A man shared that he had seen Elvis in concert and then later saw photos of him from that very same concert. He commented that Elvis looked 20 pounds lighter in person than what the photos portrayed. And that gave me pause.

Don't they always tell us that the camera adds weight to a person?

So those who haven't seen him in person are viewing Elvis through the lens of camera distortion- both in still photos and television/movies.

This is why when people visit the jumpsuit exhibits, they are so stunned at how slender he was, even the Aztec suit.

So those detractors who are extremely hung up on the size of him during his later years can have the day they deserve.

What are your thoughts?

Anon is wondering because this is the metric anon's parents used to determine if someone was fat or not, and anon is curious if it even remotely aligns with what people think of themselves. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with not being able to see your feet when standing straight up.

i think the cognitive dissonance around big titties, why so many ppl want to have bigger tits except for the ones who have big tits and want to loose them, why i always wanted bigger tits until a mixture of body changing naturally over time + hormonal bc + gaining weight actually gave me bigger tits and now i'm annoyed by them, is because the big tits we imagine are not like, real.

when i thought "i want bigger tits" i was probably envisioning the result of sillicone and push up bras and cartoon women drawn by men or whatever. then we look at real ones and they have weight and they're not perfectly pushed against each other and it makes me think god i look like i just had kids or something. because yeah, that's what they look like welcome to the real world

If you're all about body positivity but make fun of men with hairline receiding or bald, fat, with a beer belly etc, no you're not.

Pretty sick and tired of seeing people laugh and trash men who are not tall skinny queer looking white dudes and be like "everyone is beautiful" in the same breath.

Back home for the holiday 🧡

For my entire life people have told me I am "naturally athletic". I am not "naturally athletic": I am an asthmatic with historically really poor cardio health and joints that partially dislocate themselves if I put pressure on them slightly weird. What I *am* is naturally tall and slender, even more so when I did absolutely no physical activity and ate very little because my neurodivergent body didn't give me hunger signals, which most people mistake for "naturally athletic".

That's not to say I don't have the potential for athleticism. My mother, who has never been under 250 pounds my entire life, is built of sheer farm girl muscle, has stellar blood pressure and cardio health despite her weight, and could (and has!) bodily haul me and my grown brother around like we weigh nothing. When I was a kid the woman was biking triathlon distances before we were even awake for school. The woman is an ATHLETE, and her whole life she has been obese (and heard from everyone and their dogs that she needs to lose weight).

I'm not sure where I'm going with this long piece of anecdotal evidence, except to say: my whole life I heard I was naturally athletic, until I actually became athletic. Because the thing is, I put on muscle like my mom. It fills out my shoulders and arms and makes me look big, thick, and barrel chested. "Genetically beefy", as my brother puts it. And suddenly I wasn't getting comments about my athleticism anymore. I'm quite literally the healthiest I've ever been. I can run for miles, lift my weight, my balance and heart health are excellent. I'm just bigger now. And not one stranger has a comment about my physique since I got fit. Because I don't look like what they think "naturally athletic" is.

I guess what I'm saying is, maybe don't let your perception of what "athleticism" or "health" LOOKS like color your perception of like. People's actual health.
