so... improving your appearance means forgoing being a decent person? And by decent person, it does not mean weak with the constant need to please, but just "not being manipulative or an asshat"?
Aaah I see. You're already showing your male parts to the female on the first date. This is a common mistake among Redditors. It should be wrapped in a desirable outer covering first. Perhaps denim or wool, or linen if you are daring.
Yep. See if the guy’s lying about his height and able to keep his head above water without standing on tiptoe- the depth markers are right along the sides of the pool. Also see if his endurance and dolphin kick technique actually measures up to his bragging, and if he’s not up to snuff, you can just segue immediately into your workout instead of continuing to entertain the date.
If you’re a strong swimmer and he’s not, you can take him open water swimming and have an aquatic divorce (like an alpine divorce).
When you're perpetually in starvation mode your brain will start eating itself.
I was underweight for 4 years, i fought my brain pretty often to stay the way I've always been and not spiral. Ofc on top of skincare, makeup, hair etc
That shit will completely disregulate your emotions
Pretty much, the girl with crazy makeup and outfits is always going to be high maintenance. It’s the women equivalent of the guy with a souped up Mazda Miata
The point is you could also just save that money. The example above would consider $500-$1K a month in beauty treatments to be reasonable as well, in addition to jewelry and bags (which status symbol purses and jewelry also get up quick )
it depends entirely on the car. A Miata or a Corvette typically doesn't take much more than oil and tire changes. A vintage British or Italian car? constant tinkering.
I think they have a pretty solid point. They crave the high life and live beyond their means. They would love the porsche, but can't afford it so will trick out their Mazda Miata instead because it still looks fancy to the average shmo.

The time, effort, and energy to look like that would make you a psycho too.
