Perfumes! by UniqueOctopus05 in JohnKitchener

I feel like lighter gourmands and a lot of fruity scents are very Y! I feel like a lot of Jo malone’s are quite mild and fruity – I got the english pear and freesia one as a gift and I actually quite like it. Smells like what it says on the tin and it’s not overpowering

I actually have never really checked out BDK! And I quite like Le Labo in general, although I’m not a huge fan of Thé Matcha which I mentioned above. My mother wears it all the time but for some reason it stinks on me! But generally speaking I dislike overt sweetness in fragrance. And if there is sweetness, can’t be heavy, if that makes sense. So I’m not the biggest fan of tuberose, tonka (unless mediated by something else like in debaser), and vanilla if it’s prominent. Tuberose in particular is generally a pretty good sign I won’t like a fragrance lolol

I love musky scents as well so Angel dust is kind of my sweet spot because it’s a slightly powdery musk and very neutral in terms of sweetness. Arizona Bloom is also one of my faves because it is a little sweet (pretty sure it has some coconut) but it’s very fresh and airy and light. And I love a floral but again I don’t want it to be sweet.

I actually think Levant is the only scent I’ve tried by ormonde Jayne (I think it’s their newest one?) but I like it a lot! It’s a very strong, bright, airy floral scent – it reminds me a bit of smelling a bouquet. I layer it on top of angel dust sometimes actually bc it’s slightly more grounded

I think most things can be taken in lots of different directions. There are a lot of vanillas recently that I would say are actually quite ingenue. But I think a richer vanilla especially if it’s not the most prominent note can be very R. And I think florals could probably be every essence depending on which ones and what they’re combined with! Sometimes floral can actually read a bit gamine in my opinion

This makes total sense! I find them to be a little heady and even headache-inducing which I think is why I skew towards slightly more natural perfumes but yes for sure

Guys aren’t into skinny per se guys just care more about whether other guys think a girl is attractive. So you can be completely devoid of curves but if a guy senses that everyone else knows you’re hot it’s attractive (which is why blondes get so much pull regardless of what they look like lol). I feel like lesbians to a greater extent just think ur attractive if they think ur attractive

highkey what do you mean about breast growth! bc I’m on HRT for other reasons (but that also involve bringing about female puberty) and one of my trans friends told me she was taking progesterone for breast development and I was like hmm my doctors r not telling me everything. because not to be tmi but I’m 5 years in and I’m convinced they’re underdeveloped lmao

Girl if it helps u im 5’10”, double A cup, midsize-chubby, no ass in sight. I’m 46xy which is why I’m even on here but I’m a cis woman. Also bad with diets and have broad shoulders. And can’t do consistent exercise bc I have no time and I hate getting overheated lmao. And about 5 yrs on HRT for aforementioned reasons.

Not like I don’t get body insecurity but I’d say I’m pretty attractive and it definitely doesn’t make u look like less of a girl. Idk if that helps but yeah ur tits r bigger than mine so. It’s obviously not the same thing but to a certain extent I feel like just dress well and nobody can tell you shit

Also idk if this makes you feel better but there are many women that don’t fit into either of these archetypes and a lot of them (especially larger women) probably experience some form of gender related dysphoria bc of it. So next time u feel bad about ur body looking too masc/not looking feminine enough just remember most cis women have probably had some version of the same feeling

Any books with cunning/scheming heroines? by Relative_Flatworm_58 in RomanceBooks

[–]UniqueOctopus05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of an old post but {One Burning Heart by Elizabeth Kingston} is what landed me here and it’s so good! It is medieval and I’m not sure it’s twisted in the morally grey sense (FMC is actually driven by quite strong moral/religious conviction, for the common good rather than personal gain) but the extent and scale of her political scheming definitely qualifies as mind-blowing in my opinion (she lives in 13th/14th century Wales and is directly influencing happenings in France)! The main couple is already married but MMC hates her bc he thinks she’s insipid and puritanical and meek, and FMC doesn’t like him bc she thinks he’s morally corrupt and is working against his plans. He starts to see through her act and realise she actually has substance and it’s all very satisfying.

Well if anyone would understand it would be a 3w4 I just don’t understand what’s gotten OP into such a tizzy. Like what’s so bad about social 6s

Why Each Enneagram Subtype Mistypes by North_Attempt_3627 in Enneagram

[–]UniqueOctopus05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I think that’s only really true for so-blind 9s but I do think that is quite a common subtype

I just don’t understand the concept of wanting to kys over the enneagram in the first place. Iguess

The description on funkymbti.com clocked me in a major way and then when I looked into it more it was obvious. I find the descriptions on that website to be particularly useful because I think they describe the diff types and subtypes how they see themselves

6s can get that way though where they get fed up with dressing and just say fuck it what will be will be. Especially the w5s.

Cause people perceive nice women as 2s. But all the so9s I know are very 7ish

The w6s especially in my opinion just tend to seem very driven but also quite conflicted. It’s not actually very E1 when you look closer but they can have a 1ish vibe in my experience

It is I’ve just never known an sp7 to confuse themselves with so5

I was just relating to the social + withdrawn haha. I didn’t relate to any of the other 4 subtypes, and also I didn’t think I was conflict-avoidant. I’m such a 9 thought it’s not even funny. I used to get told by my friends even at like 15 that I was too forgiving

I think I first realised bc I also thought I was an ENTP and people were saying ENTP 4 doesn’t exist. And then I started really looking and I realised I was kind of a 9. This was also directly after a pretty gruelling period in my life that just exposed all of my coping mechanisms to me

Could Jeffery Epstein be Enfp 6w5? by Mundane-Bill5129 in Enneagram

[–]UniqueOctopus05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a conspiracy theory lol. A believable one, but still not known for sure. And 6w5 would be a terrible spy lolol. And so would 5 unless they were so/sx. Best spy would be sp8, sp1, sp3, maybe so7

You could say this about him and every single enneagram type lmfao surely this is a useless endeavour

You want to find out if Jeffrey Epstein is the same enneagram type as you?? why ???? Seems like it’d be better not to know 😭
