I couldn’t watch the video.

Because I didn’t want to.

The last thing I need is another dude breaking down women’s issues.

That aside,

I really don’t believe in this anymore.

Maybe it’s because I’m older or because I have pretty good self esteem.

I’ve never been super thin, tan or blonde,

But that’s not bothered me since middle school.

I know some self obsessed social media influencers and how they play their game,

It’s just not real and I think most people know that.

I don’t understand a lot of the beauty industry. I prefer women without makeup.

I just find it annoying that they all gotta have same hip to waist ratios height etc. Its so dumb. So short ppl can’t look good in clothes?? It doesn’t even make sense tbh…

If I don’t wear makeup as a 38 year old woman,

People ask me if I’m sick or tired.

I don’t wear makeup most days.

I only wear it if I’m going out somewhere .

I stopped removing body hair so I’m hairy all over with black hairs.

I tried Botox but it hurt too much and i couldn’t afford to regularly get it so I decided to age naturally.

I used to want liposuction but can’t afford it so decided I’ll be a natural and learn to love embrace and own myself just as I am.

I’ve seen stunning fat woman because they are unapologetically owning it.

I hope to join a date site in a couple or few months and will have to find someone who isn’t trying to change me to fit beauty standards.
I’ve had plenty of boyfriends like that.can’t appreciate you as you are and who you are.

Sometimes I can look “washed out” without makeup like I m tired because I haven’t been in the sun enough or if I have dark circles under my eyes and not much colour.

I’m letting my hair be its natural colour too.

Inner beauty really is most important.

I don’t want to let myself go and stop showering anc never wash my hair but i don’t want to be brainwashed to think I have to live up to society beauty and body standards.

There was a guy everyone thought was so incredibly ugly and I was inlove with him because he was funny, charming, intelligent and so interesting.
His physical appearance wasn’t so good as such.ha ha ha but everyone has other qualities that can be more important than body.

Yeah a lot of the influencers become so self obsessed and disconnected as such and that can be unattractive.

It’s wild how ingrained these “beauty standards” are in our society and the lengths that people go to to try to achieve them.

It makes me feel sick

When I actually stop to look at it, it feels like it’s no wonder that I developed body dysmorphia and an eating disorder.

I know I have an unhealthy ideal of weight. I constantly have to fight with myself to believe that I can be worthy of love even if you can’t count my ribs.

This industry just feels so evil and predatory
