To all females....

I'm one of those who thinks if you don't like something about yourself do something about it. I run, I diet etc. But for my health. Anything I ever do is for me and so that I can be happy with who I am. I lost a lot of weight and I am very proud of that. It was hard work. I am not where I want to be but I'll work for it until I get it and if I'm still not happy about something there will be a way to change it. I think everyone is a little self contentious, not just women.

Not really. But I never had issues with my looks because I'm comfortable with them. Although I'm pale in a society obsessing over tan one of the most usual compliments I get is on my fair complexion. Even from tan people. Confidence really is key. The only thing I was ever anyhow bullied for when it comes to my looks was my red hair. And now everyone loves it. So meh... I stopped caring about what people think about my looks since society's and most people's personal mood swings are impossible to please all the time.

I'd like to add that guys also have been force fed this mentality. I think women look better when they don't try. Most girls I've seen have natural beauty but then they put a ton of makeup on and I can't see freckles and beauty marks or scars and what have you; which is the human aspect people are attracted to. Anyway, society is spiraling downhill and I'm not involving myself with women or men too oblivious to notice wasted beauty; the worse of the two dying being inner. I just try to believe in God and that truth will prevail . Though I will admit I do work out on my body a lot and part of it is because I know women like physique.

I actually maintain a lot my face and I fucking suffer when I get pimples on it. Like ultimately, I have gotten these weird pimples and two of them left a mark???? I hate it because it makes me look uglier. I accept my multiple beauty marks but pimples scars no T.T So yeah, back to topic, I'm not against people trying to look their best at least. That's why I used to do a lot of exercise too. Unless they compare themselves to other people achievements. One should always strive to be better than oneself, not someone else. Edit: I forgot I already posted here and a better post btw nvm.

Yeah you should strive to be better than yourself but it doesn't always work that way. For me, I was really jacked in High School and I was the jock; girls chased me. I got out of High School and decided to be a good person and improve my mind and I neglected my body; not any damaging stuff like drugs I just simply did not work out and I ate as I pleased. Girls did not like me. Now I am in the Navy and I work out and girls always want to talk, etc. I'm not sure what my point is but women seem to like me when I do compare myself. Go figure

I'm comfortable being chubby, but i'd like to shed a few pounds. Not that I think i'm overly large, as I weight around... 270? And that's after losing 20 pounds, and still aiming to lose a few more. I'd like to reach 220 and i'll be satisfied there, also my body type doesn't really look good as much less then that, I have broad shoulders and etc. :3
