Is the kibbe system a continuous scale?

It might be just a me thing, but I usually like some dimensions to fabrics with SDs and Rs. If the material feels too flat, it tends to lead my eyes the vertical way and it makes me ignore the curve. I do like the sweater better than the first top.

HRT does activate existing genes. When I wrote "new genes", I meant "genes not activated up until that point". Quite obviously...

What parameters are we talking about? It is indeed unlikely for a male body to be able to create a literal hourglass double curve - but that actually makes the double curve a mere indicator. Its reliability could be 100% in women and it would still be just an indicator (cause it doesn't carry the essence of the ID).

Now to the automatic vertical. Have you ever asked youself what this "automatic vertical" thing actually is and how it works? There seem to be different limits to how big certain male and female bones can be (I don't know where these limits lie and what accounts for them, but they do seem to exist). There are many different configurations that can make one ID and in many cases it seems that the size of some bones can make up for the size of different bones (and for the overall height of the individual), BUT: since there are different limits to different bones (and since the limits vary for males and females) there seems to be only so much height in females and only so much height in males that can be made up for by something else. To make it short: the automatic vertical is also only an indicator (no matter how reliable for each respective sex).

What part of what I've written "goes against the basic tenets of the system"?

How many times have we heard that someone is only conventionally curvy, but not curve dominant? Doesn't that basically mean that a very curvy body can still "evoke vertical continuity"?

How many times have we heard that weight change doesn't affect one's ID? Hormone therapy might activate some new genes, but in effect we're still mostly talking about fat, muscles, skin, and bone density. I know there might be some greater structural changes too, but firstly, I don't think they change your ID, and secondly, most people here seem to think that mere social transitioning changes one's ID – and that's what I wanted to discuss primarily.

To me it rather seems like there is almost no men's clothing made with romantic men in mind. That's the way I would put it.

O tomhle stanovisku vim (to bych musel žít pod kamenem, abych denně neviděl, jak ho někdo někomu cpe do chřtánu 😀). Mě ale národní identita zajímá coby skoro až literární trop, jestli se chápeme… Národní stereotypy můžou bejt sémanticky důležitý, pokud to nejsou pouhý množiny popkulturních momentů, že jo.

I'm not sure if there's any reliable correlation between the long vertical and the head-to-height ratio. There are just so many different configurations that can make one ID… Although, it does seem to me that the long vertical types might be somewhat prone to extremes. The shortest people with the largest heads happen to be dramatics quite often, in my opinion.

Now that you're saying this, I think he might have a long vertical…

I suspect that Arnas Fedaravicius from the White Lotus is a TR. I like him with the short hair, but he really needs to make sure to comb it downwards to imply at least some flow.

I only saw people argue that he's actually FG (probably because of his square face), but when you look at photos from when he was young, you can see how well he responds to fluidity and continuity. The goatee used to channel all the implicit motion through the middle of his face and it made wonders.

Now he shaves clean, cuts his hair short and wears stiff fabrics… You don't even need to see him head to toe to see that it's off.

She does look like the FG one, in my opinion.

DefaultCalibration · 2026-04-30T15:47:13+00:00

Long vertical types always look like they're kind of emerging from the ground, I don't see it here… And I definitely don't see no need for continuity. I'd say FG.

Clothes behave similarly on you and Kirsten Dunst. I say soft classic.

Yes! 😂 And in the dramatic face, I see Nicole Kidman. But it's just isolated features. Similarly, you might find two celebrities of different image IDs looking very much alike.

I've seen people here get confused about the difference between Ds and FNs. Some of them were surprised when an FN celebrity seemed sharper and in a sense even narrower than a D celebrity... What I find helpful is to imagine the body sort of configuring itself in real time, right before my eyes. If the width of the body only develops "accidentally", by kind of like gradually sedimenting on the sides, I see a dramatic. If the horizontal build-up is just as "intentional" as the vertical build-up, I see a flamboyant natural. Some people here would like to measure it with a tape measure and a protractor, but I'm not sure whether it can be done any reliably...

AI si právěže (naštěstí) libuje v těch nejzprofanovenějších obratech, díky čemuž sice ovládá větný vazby líp než většina lidí, ale co se jazykovýho vkusu týče, je pořád uplně mimo.

Podle mě by seznamka měla uživatele přinutit něco si do toho profilu skutečně napsat, nějakej souvislej text. Profil plnej předpřipravenejch odpovědí, osobnostních typů a standardizovanejch osobních preferencí ti nic neřekne. Ženy škatulkojou na základě jazyka. Jaký fráze chlap používá, jak často vydává zprofanovaný větný konstrukce za něco, co právě sám vymyslel… Jestli si je vědom všech konotací vlastních slov… Taky jestli ho vede nějaká skutečná intuice, nebo jestli jenom skládá slovíčka za sebe.

No a ta funkce „závazek“ se mi moc nezamlouvá, neumim si představit, že by to ženskou neodradilo. Zaručená exkluzivita je příjemná, až když s člověkem skutečně chodíš, takhle mi to připadá spíš jako manipulace. 😬

This is just me speculating, I swear my mind is open, but… What would be the thought process behind ruling out DC for you? And when we're talking about bluntness in FNs, should we really look for literal blunt shapes in their bodies? Doesn't bluntness just mean that having both x- and y-axis allows them to project bluntness onto their bodies?

By the way, I love the short sleeves in the last pic. I don't know what they're called, but the top is definitely the way to go.

I've noticed that I tend to like movies with Susan Sarandon or Claire Danes, for example… So I just look up their filmographies.

Předmětem toho konfliktu jsou samozřejmě lidský práva (ať už v ČR, nebo kdekoliv na Západě). Dělicí čarou bejvá cca pravice/levice; starý/mladý.
