hi again soup!

I've been gauging whether or not I really want to be a lonelita since I feel quite lonely and only have a few people in my life, but I also feel fucking bored doing any kind of interaction with other lolitas outside of maybe this board. Even then, it doesn't really feel the same since I'm cherry picking responses here and there, not having a proper conversation.

It might just be I haven't really clicked with any other lolitas?

I should quit lolita. My wardrobe is fine and I do enjoy the pieces that I have, but sometimes it just feels like there's no point, I'll never own my ultimate dream dresses. Current lolita looks like shit to me, and popular oldschool pieces are hard to obtain. I'm a fucking poorfag living in a euro shithole where my 900$ a month wage is considered decent, it's laughable for me to compete in the same market as people in better economies. I don't deserve my dream items anyway, I'm ugly and my coords are boring as fuck, l don't even think I suit this fashion with my horse face, I don't do it justice. God this is depressing

No one can be the best anon, even among the "lolita royalty". Why not just wear coords for your own enjoyment, no matter what other people think? Does the process and act not help you to grow and mature into a more self realized person? For me, wearing these clothes helps me to get into a more self care related and creative state of mind outside the work week. Seconding what the anon said about learning to sew - here's a cool fabric link for you to get started: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1099291033/soft-sheen-flower-jacquard-fabric-by-the?click_key=d3abd0f8023de27d0007463be7f18a505a8b6f0e%3A1099291033&click_sum=aa361ddc&ref=shop_home_active_249

I have a huge wardrobe and I want to throw it all out because I hate the attention but it's the only thing I enjoy. Dressing up and taking pictures is the only happiness I have. I hate being stared at. I wish normies dressed better so it didn't stick out as much. To me it's so cute but to normies it's either "too fancy" even in plain solid IW or a costume if it's more detailed

I go back and forth with wanting to kms. I keep thinking of what other hobbies would be socially acceptable and trying to do them but they aren't as fun as wearing a nice coord. When I don't dress up I'm just depressed and don't want to go anywhere

Dunno tho, it doesn't hit the same with the photography part.

Please learn how to read. I said in the post that the excuse was used that you all don’t act like this in real life, my point was that you obviously don’t like black people wearing the fashion (confusing considering it’s a Japanese fashion to begin with) but it is enough to know you all talk when you can hide behind being anonymous online.

I meet a lot of amazing girls who truly helped newbies in their beginning, but I am a little sick of some of the older lolitas acting like the fashion will die with them because they refuse to accept that lolita is surving on the new people entering. Most pandemic lolitas are shit? Yes, but what truly annoys me is when in this sea of shit there's a handful of girls who are really trying to learn - being shit on too by this bitter old lolitas. Like why would you do that? If only you really didn't care about them but that's not the case, you feel joy being mean towards them. You are not obligated to teach someone but if you don't just also don't open your mouth to say shit. You are not contributing to make it less ot a shit.

Uh, the fashion is dying, but all jfash is dying. Japan doesn't have the allure it once did so people don't attach lolita to Japan anymore.

I will forever be friendless and will never be able to do what I wish I could do. Why can't I have anyone to talk freely to and meet up with without fearing that I'm asking for too much or that I'm annoying. I'm to old to start any hobbies and I have no hobbies as it is. Everyone I meet have their own lives and are able to do interesting things. My life has been wasted and there's absolutely no way anything could improve. I know that logically I should kill myself but I don't want to. I want a decent life like everyone else, with people who want me to exist and interesting things that I do with my time. What's even the point of caring about people that I can only interact with only three tiems a year at most because they don't really care about me, and nowhere, ever have I made any friends it sucks so I'm forever stuck with those people who don't really care about me as my highest quality social interaction.

Brands have themselves to blame. They didn’t stay competitive, had a shrinking domestic market and made 0 effort up until very recently to be open and available to foreigners. So of course Chinese brands were more than happy to fill the gap. Japanese brands fell in quality, kept high prices, failed to provide additional sizes like nearly every taobao brand does. Even Meta sells out of their plus size before their regular size very frequently, even for pre-orders so there’s clearly demand for it. It’s not about fatty morals, it’s about good business. Why do you think all these shitty western brands stay afloat? Because they have clothes that pretty much any potential western customer can fit. I’d bet that if many Japanese companies started to offer this kind of sizing, western indie brands would tank.

Japan has an increasingly small domestic population, and an even smaller domestic market for Lolita. If they refuse to cater to a broader market and go under for it, I don’t feel bad for them at all because they chose to bite the bullet.

I am embarking on my 137942900 lolita wardrobe makeover.
I've been wearing lolita off and on for about a decade but I periodically sell off a lot of stuff and stop wearing it for awhile, usually for reasons like
-nowhere to wear it
-tired of interacting with people while wearing it (not just comms, but strangers coming up and asking questions etc)
-uncomfortable in the clothes for various reasons

It's been a couple of years so I'm coming back in and going for a dark classic/gothic feel. I solved most of the issues with it being uncomfortable, and I think sticking black will help as well since that's what most of my normie clothes are and it's what I feel most comfortable in.

I'm so fucking sad right now. I just got my dream dress in the mail. I promptly went to try it on and. the. thing. does. not. fit.
I've been loosing weight lately to be able to fit unshirred pieces, and my measurments are now a couple of centimetres below what is listed for the dress on lolibrary. The problem is probably a combination of my height and ribcage. I'm tall, and the waist of the dress hits just a few centimetres below my underbust. So even though my waist would fit the waist-measurement, I don't fit the dress due to the waist being on my ribcage, which is too big. I feel so stupid for not thinking about this beforehand. And I feel devastated that I'm never ever going to be able to wear my dream dress, even though I've finally got it. I imagined myself getting married in this dress. And now I'll never be able to. All because of my big, stupid ribcage, which I have no control over. Gulls, how do I cope?

Just sell it and find something that works. Alterations anons are dumb, the bodice proportions are off for you so even if it "fit" it wouldn't be proportioned right. I struggle with this myself, combination of wider shoulders than the average jp girl and bigger chest, even at the same height

If the only issue is length, depending on the amount and the design of the dress, fabric, etc., making the straps longer could help if it's a JSK. It really depends on the dress though. Nothing is wrong with making a dress fit you.

don't have much advice for you but just wanted to offer my sympathies since i know how heartbreaking it is. i had the exact same thing happen to me with my dream dress last year and posted in the feels thread about it only to have people tell me that i was too fat for it even though i specifically said that the problem was my ribcage. i'm just glad you're not getting the same treatment

since it's a very specific print, it's harder for me to do alterations on it without it being super obvious. the best i could really do was unbutton the straps and tuck them in so that the jsk sits lower on my chest and essentially functions as a strapless dress. sounds dumb but works alright, although obviously i'd prefer to have it the way it's meant to be worn. i hope you're able to figure out something that works for you. godspeed nonny

>> No.10726973

Have you tried seeing if it works as a halter? That a super easy alteration to make, just add a button to one of the straps and connect them behind your neck.

Nothing to remotely lead these men to believe I sell porn of myself. Men do this because whores like that girl have normalized the idea that every girl who wears alt fashion exists for their sexual desires. They now inherently associate cosplay and alt fashion with porn. Women like that whore have created that association. The men didn't do that on their own. But sex worker rights and girl power or whatever.

I have an acquaintance who had a big online following and pivoted it to the OF route. She makes 25,000 USD a month before taxes. Morals, in this economy? I don't like her but she's going to be able to retire early, having had no college education. I don't know if I would call it empowerment. To me it's more like a decision made out of obviousness. Her options were whoring herself out to make 300k a year versus work some minimum wageslave job and keep her dignity. Admittedly she is an outlier, had six digit followers before OF, and is more attractive than most women, so this isn't going to be the case for every e-thot but because I know her personally it was just kind of a mindfuck for me. I went from pitying her for being a degenerate to being conflicted and jealous at how rich she was for how little work she was doing. But since I have an education and have a pretty cool artsy salaried job that people are always interested in I like to think I'm more fulfilled than her career and legacy wise. Copium possibly?

That's really interesting anon. I've also wondered if I'm jealous of ethots although I don't have such a personal example, but like you, it always comes down to I just wouldn't want to do it, even in the best case scenarios like your friend. It's hard to be jealous of a situation I would never even want to be in.

I think it's really a similar situation to trust fund kids; everybody wants easy money, but both those routes (trust fund kid, extremely lucky ethot) have their own baggage. Trust fund kids can't accomplish anything without it being attributed to daddy's money, and often end up being really unfulfilled and have their own issues. It's part copium, but partly a real situation I'm not sure I would handle well. I guess all you can do is live your life how you want and it's just human to have some amount of jealousy towards some people even if you know you truly wouldn't want to be in their situation.

Well, the auction just ended, here if anyone's interested:
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l1034500065
And wow, I was kind of expecting it to go higher!
I did some thought experiments where I assumed I were into lolita or getting into lolita, and considered what I'd've done, and while at first, the price that it felt like I could have paid was somewhere between $350-400, I eventually realized that if I gave up that low, I'd end up becoming totally obsessed with this dress and constantly be beating myself up over not buying it when I had the chance, and be stressed out looking for it maybe for years and maybe pay way more than what it was worth at some point in the future just out of desperation, so I adjusted to allow maybe $700-900, and if I'd done that I could have ended up winning it!
I know that it'd be an awful idea though because I'm not rich and it's probably not that versatile but still! Maybe I'm just really overrating how rare it is, but it's really old so I assume it'd be rare.

Personally, I'm shocked to see it go that high. I remember how just a couple years back they'd sit at around $100 and end up with a single bid by the end of the auction.

This is the only colorway I liked, don't like the beige at all and I need the contrast of the white lace.
But it doesn't matter anyway because I'm not into lolita and will never be, and even if I were it'd be physically impossible for me to wear this one.
But I guess it's an example of it being good to do research before you jump into buying, but on the other hand people say that the gothic market is completely dead and what if the same happens to all other lolita too, then you'd really regret not paying $500 for this one.

I wanted gardening teddy re-release in any size in pink and got green, sax, and black instead.

Maybe it's just me but it feels like Meta rarely has pink colorways of a lot of their prints that I otherwise love, even when the print makes sense against a pink background more than the colors they chose. Chocolate prints in pink colorways are a staple for every other lolita brand for example, so navy Teddy Chocolatier makes me seethe hardcore knowing they picked that ugly shit over pink.

It's no more educa than just Google, especially since the things cgl had taught anyone in the last two years based on the changes of stupid questions thread topics is just spoonfeeding stuff you could Google or see in FB comments of even shitty groups like BSOLF. And no one wants to give away any real "secrets" obviously related to SS, best JP site, etc. since old school and sweet boom trends have made everything so competitive, so people are just rehashing what you could easily find elsewhere. Cgl isn't some evil place but it's not a magical wonderland either.

She looks like shit, can't dress herself and her content is low quality and sucks. Her personality is incredibly stale and boring also. Her following is based off sympathy and white guilt from sjws who have had it hammered into their minds to 'support black creators' regardless of talent. I feel bad for her. People don't actually like her. They just want to coddle 'the poor incapable black people' so they can feel like a 'good person'.

To be perfectly honest, I think if cgl didn't exist, I would quit the fashion. Sometimes I feel so disconnected to everyone's coddled attitude/views in the fashion that the only place I really feel okay is on cgl. I don't want to be a hugbox. I don't care about being welcoming. I don't want people's skin color, trauma, wokeness, etc thrown at me all the time. I'm just here for the fucking clothes and to post at 4 am, knowing someone here will always be around.

This. Also anyone who thinks woke shit is constantly being thrown around in lolita is 100% just an online-only lolita, unlucky with their comm or lolitas they itneract with IRL, or sensitive and they think someone offhandedly mentioning their girlfriend or kawaii black hair tutorials is "SJW stuff getting thrown in my face". None of those things make you a bad person but if you want a better experience in the fashion holing up on cgl is not going to accomplish that, at least not as well as actually seeking like minded lolitas IRL or being a lonelita but still touching grass now and again.

Obviously, Anon. But simply hiding a post won't stop future interactions with an opinion you dislike since you cant actually block the person. My point is that people who crticise 4chan especially tame board like /cgl/ have issues with their own world view. Since you can't block users who have opinions you don't like, you can't create a hugbox like most people on traditional social media like IG, Twitter or TikTok do. Most people have a ton of cognitive dissonance that they are subconsciously aware of but it's uncomfortable to address and traditional social media enables them to maintain their own cognitive dissonance and live in their bubble. This is why people don't like 4chan because it's confronting.

Fashion is inherently a progressive hobby similar to the art world. Therefore it mostly also follows current progressive ideas. If you managed to find a comm of other lolitas who don't have modern progressive views, I'd say you're in the minority.

Having modern progressive views isn't the same as throwing it in your face. I'm sure people in my comm may or may not have modern progressive views including myself but political topics just don't come up and no one is throwing anything in anyone's face despite there being lots of different races and ages and whatnot.

That's why I said just existing as a person who is progressive/gay/black is not the same as actively throwing that thing in your face.

Of course Anon but people clearly don't do that (since many people actively tell others to avoid 4chan) because its annoying since you first have to read the post you want to hide to know if you want to hide it.

Since you use 4chan a lot, you're used to it. For other people it's very confronting.

Sorry Anon but modern progressivism is defined by total activism. If you aren't actively trying to spread progressive ideas, you are defined as being part of the problem. Hence why so many people get harassed for simply saying nothing about certain issues. Take George Floyd for example, did you see the harassment some people received for simply stating they're going on hiatus and not going to post anything? People viewed that as basically the same thing as saying "I hate niggers". You have to actively engage in the activism and do the performative dance otherwise you're the enemy.

I think simply you just got lucky.

>friend breaks up with bf
>i'm pretty ambivalent about it but also "could be ok if we date I guess"
>i have autismo tier "pure" opinions about love where I think they people need a "mourning period" and that asking people out immediately post-breakup is tactless and scummy
>we go out with a mutual friend for drinks and shit
>she gets hit up by one of her other guy friends who immediately after finding out she's single asks to date her
>she ok's a date
>on the way home she holds onto my arm tightly so she doesn't slip and fall on the ice (but only the moment mutual friend leaves us), and keeps asking if i'm planning to move far, if i'm family oriented (relationship with parents, etc) since it's a big deal for her and her breakup was because her past bf wasn't
>goes on the date the next day, holds hands + kisses him, tells him they're not dating until "she's ready"

i straight up can't tell if i'm mega friendzoned or what the fucking deal is. i wouldn't be so confused nor have a problem with the other guy if not for the arm holding + weird line of questions on the way home. the autismo honor code + overthinking doesn't help, either. anyways, thoughts?

Being annoyingly militant is not a requirement for holding a certain opinion. I'm sorry you surround yourself with children and immature people who think that. I'm not lucky, I'm just an adult with a job and so are my comm members.

Being an activist and being a keyboard warrior are not the same and being progressive (AKA supporting equal rights, protecting the environment, or whatever other progressive beliefs) is not the same as being an activist either.

I think I'm falling for my friend, but I'm 21 and he's 29 with two kids under 10, one of whom has pretty bad ADHD. I know I should be dating someone my own age but all the men around me are LVM losers in dead end jobs or NEETs. The ones who are getting an education are either polyamorous art students or musicians. My friend is funny, well educated, smart, good looking, excellent career, has a lot of money in savings, no debt, and is a great dad. Someone convince me to keep looking for a single man that's not pushing 30.

Of course most men your age are still in school or floundering; most women your age are too.

I can say that my current partner who is my age is a much better fit than an older guy because of the sole reason that we can send each other memes. If I was dating someone who didn't understand the absolute dumb as shit memes I send to my boyfriend that we die laughing at I'd be very sad and lonely in my relationship.

Also if something happens to him you have to parent kids that aren't yours at such a young age. That's terrifying if you're only in your early 20s. Most people that age are not ready to be good parents yet. ADHD is super common though and not really something that makes having a kid much harder like autism, ADHD just makes them mildly more annoying than a child normally is. But having a kid to begin with, let alone too, is very difficult.
