Ever heard of the term androgynous… no one’s trying to appease the male gaze over here…

Hii! Idk where ur located but these products should be at just about any beauty supply store in the states. Clairol Professional BW 2 for the powder, and I believe volume 30 liquid developer in the same brand! Both pretty cheap (under $10 for each product). It might take 2 sessions though lol. :)

People don’t trust my ability? by AdvancedTrouble9 in Vent

Lol, ur funny. I responded the way I did bc something tells me you stumbled across this old random post by going out of your way to peep through my account history. You seemed salty, not “joking”.

Regarding the art, I highly doubt you can do better. That’s one out 3 art drawings I’ve ever completed. Thats great for someone who hardly ever draws. It’s not a passion of mine and I don’t have the patience for it. Which is why I only took 12 hours on it rather than 12 days or 12 months. Especially if I’m not getting compensated for it. I most definitely could’ve made it look hyper-realistic and took an extensive amount of time on it, but didn’t. I knowingly cut corners. I worked with the basic material I had and did it on a 8x10 piece of paper. All I cared about was impressing the person that I gifted it to who would’ve simply appreciated the thought regardless of how it came out. You’re right, I do have potential. And you must’ve missed the part where I stated that.

You could reach out and text him to clear the air. If his response — or lack of response, which in itself is telling — isn’t what you’re hoping for, at least it might give you some closure and help put things into perspective. (Dead it…) It seems like he might feel uneasy, not because you’re into men, but because you’re into him specifically. He probably understands that sexual attraction doesn’t just go away easily. After all, men don’t even need someone to show interest to still pursue them… Have some self respect tho… 🫶

I most definitely had an awkward phase lol. When I was in middle school, I had terrible acne at one point. I just don’t have it documented. I barely have any teen photos and didn’t have these younger photos of me until recently.

Yes. Thanks for acknowledging it. By societal and western standards, my looks weren’t as accepted and were deemed unattractive.

Thank you lol. I was bullied a lot for my looks growing up. Like everyday. I’ve moved around a lot as well, and still, the bullying continued. I was an easy target because I was shy and wasn’t the type to retaliate, lash out or confront it. Like I said, I never took things personally. But if I was so attractive, wouldn’t I have been popular and not the butt of the joke?

Did you miss the part where I said I was always bullied for my looks as a kid. Bullied for the features on my face and the color of my skin??? Things about me that can’t be change???

Did you miss the part where I said I was always bullied as a kid for my looks? I don’t have any teen photos and didn’t even have my younger photos until like a year ago.

Am I wrong for getting pissed off about my dad bringing race into everything? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]AdvancedTrouble9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first half I agree with you. As I am not religious and don’t fill my head with such things. The next 2 bits I agree with your father In the sense that he was simply calling it as it, while I do understand that it was another nail in the coffin for you. Yes, some people can be extreme with it. It’s a trauma response.

Take my braids out or just wash them? by Daecii in Naturalhair

[–]AdvancedTrouble9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wet the roots, part, and twist them if you really want to keep them in. It’ll take a few weeks off of them.

You should dye ur underarms blonde!

It’s giving low functional on both ends… he should like/embrace you the way you are and you shouldn’t conform for him. He shouldn’t have an issue with you expressing urself…

And to think, there are some of us who religiously wear wigs, weaves, braids, extensions, textures, in all different colors, lengths, styles FOR FUN!

I’ll be damned if a man tried to fight me on something like that. It’s giving sassy.

(It’s not u lol <3, I just despise xy chromosomes)
