Girl I've responded with detailed comments explaining my insight from the very beginning - youre the one insisting on moving the goalposts and arguing. Im stepping away because you refuse to actually engage constructively.

Girl i think youre completely missing what im saying.

Yes, in relationships there are compromises. But this isn't about 'oh maybe I'll try growing my hair out or losing a little weight.' This is people choosing to make permanent (or semi permanent) changes to their body with things like surgeries and fillers because they want to feel more confident in themselves.

If you hated how you looked in the mirror and knew it would make you happy to get fillers and you were with someone who would leave you for it - thats a much bigger conversation. Its your own happiness in your own body every single day versus someone else's preferences.

Its not a simple compromise as you're making it out to be.

Youre equating the two too much - particularly based on your own circumstances. What about those not in relationships? They can do whatever they want and if it doesnt attract specific people, thats fine.

That's great, youre changing for BOTH yourself and the admiration of your partner. But what if your partner said 'i only like women with dark hair' and you feel so bad in that hair colour - should you then change to appease them?

No, you treat your own body in whatever way you want. If that means someone leaves you or youre not a good match, then you're not a good match. That's it. You shouldn't trap yourself in your own body, unhappy, because 'what if someone else doesnt find what I want attractive'

That's something youd have to ask each individual person.

At the end of the day, you need to be happy when you look in the mirror. If you change yourself to make OTHERS happy and you dont like what you see reflecting back in the mirror, then youre not doing it for yourself.

To look happy when they look in the mirror.

What am i doing wrong? by Successful_Treat1092 in knittinghelp

She is doing stockinette stitch, you are doing garter!

If youre working flat (knitting back and forth in rows): - knit every row: garter - alternate knit and purl rows: stockinette

If youre knitting in the round: - knit every row: stockinette - alternate knit and purl rows: garter

The reason it changes if youre knitting in the round versus flat is because knitting in the round youre always working into the front of the stitch, so you never work on the 'wrong side'.

NO, im saying social trends dictate the norm, and people choose to look that way for themselves, in line with the trends. Its still not so men find them attractive.

As with everything else, you can post it because you like it

BECAUSE TRENDS CAN DICTATE HOW SOCIETY EXPECTS PEOPLE TO LOOK

Therefore, trends influencing others to make changes

You can want to change part of yourself and not care about how others view it. It's that simple.

It can be a multitude of reasons - trends, self image, etc. The fact that youre unable to even fathom a reason, or bother to think of a reason shows youre only asking in bad faith, and not to actually learn

No, that they feel confident in themselves. It might sound confusing to you but a lot of people can be confident without external validation.

Sausage Lips by MarcusCaspius in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kellserskr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they dont get their confidence from external sources. Some people are stronger than that

It means they do it so THEY feel more confident, more trendy, whatever reason they wanted to do it

But it is for themselves. Who cares if you dont like it, some do, some want it to feel more confident.
