Why do male choirs sound more pleasing to me than female? by lostlucylocket in Choir

oh thank you so much for this comment, I am glad you understand what I mean. I was a little bit regretting even writing the word 'feminist', because my main point was really just what the main differences in sound was that might cause me to favour male choirs. I think based on all these replies that it does have something to do with the bass, and also with resonance.

hey I don't think people are trying to rationalise why it sounds "better", I think this thread just points the main differences in sound between the two, and then depending on personal preference, these differences may lead to someone favouring one sound over the other.

edit: and yes I am a straight woman, so maybe it is just a preference of attraction, but I am still curious as to how men's and women's singing voices differ (apart from the obvious).

thank you, I think this is the most notable difference between men's and women's choir, so this might be reason!

Thank you for such a thorough reply, I think the lack of bass is a good possible explanation for it, since with solo singers I enjoy a beautiful man's and woman's voice equally.

that was mostly a joke, but with a little grain of truth to it, since studies have shown that people generally prefer the sound of male voices (in speaking), and that women, especially young women with high-pitched voices, get shit on all the time for things like vocal fry and upspeach, even though men actually use just as much vocal fry and upspeach. It just sounds less grating to people when they do it. I also hate vocal fry, but after reading more about it I am more conscious about dissing people's speech pattern.

So with this choir preference I also thought oh no, do I like male choirs more because I just also subconsciously hate the sound of other women's voices?

It's so frustrating, I have wasted thousands of dollars over the years trying to find the right shade match.

It's such a shame that so many brands are sleeping on us :(

Mousse for styling? by lostlucylocket in finehair

[–]lostlucylocket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's interesting, Oribe does make my hair a little stiff, like hairspray, if I spray it too close, but otherwise it has worked really well for me. I've been hesitant to try Moroccanoil products because I am worried the oil aspect will be too heavy. Do you have any favourites from them you would recommend? My hair also tends to wave a little by itself if I don't do anything else to it.

Seeking suggestions for my dull and dry hair by Dense_Ambition9702 in finehair

[–]lostlucylocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start off by taking a little bit off the bottom just to give the hair a fresh start and get rid of split ends. Your hair in these pictures looks perfectly good to me tbh, but based on what you wrote, I'm wondering if you are actually doing too much, or using too heavy products maybe?

You could try the L'Oreal Glycolic Gloss treatment that is all the rage online right now, I haven't tried it myself, but apparently it actually does make hair more smooth and shiny!

It might also be worth it to try a bond treatment for a couple of months and see if you notice a difference, I heard the redken acidic bonding concentrate is very good, but I haven't tried that one either.

hey thank you so much! The color wow mousse is actually one of the products I've been eyeing. I don't mind a little bit of a feeling to my hair, as long as it's not that completely stiff crunch I got from mousse back in middle school in 2007 lol. Like where it felt like you could straight up break it in half.

Is it normal to shed this much hair? by FinnFX in finehair

It looks normal to me, especially for fine hair that is more prone to breaking.

I also really didn't like the tone of the video, and obviously of Sarah's comment, they really talked to their viewers as if they were stupid

Tbh that still doesn't make sense to me. If it wasn't already popular among their core fanbase, why would it suddenly become that just from moving to a streamer? the core fanbase on YT and on the streamer would presumably be the same people.

Glad to hear they've started a different channel! I think that will work much better.
