/fa/ - Fashion

sometimes i feel really sad that i have so many troubles with my health. if i didn't have random bursts of inflammation in my nose/jaw area due to allergies and rosacea, i could be a JUST. but because i'm plagued with disease and feel ugly all the time, i feel unworthy of wearing beautiful clothing. i don't want to buy expensive art in the form of fashion just to ruin in with my hideous face. so whenever i go out i admire those people who are tall and beautiful and can pull off all kinds of clothes while i wear neutral colours, covering all my skin to stay in the background.

The amount of insecurities I've picked up from /fa/ and /fit/ is fucking ridiculous.

>>12574212
think im pretty attractive but i could not have been born with worse hair

The worst part i have no idea how to style it. I have never ever in the countless times ive been in hair generals seen anyone with hair type even close to mine

>>12574231
What's it like?

Tfw no tall + effay + literary + mu-core bf :( I live in the middle of nowhere and normie boys don't like me because I don't wear thrasher shirts with checkered slip-ons

>>12574245
Pls respond

I used to believe dressing according to /fa/ brought a sense of superiority but then you realize most people here are fucking losers and use fashion to compensate for how much of a failure they are in other aspects of life.

You can see in face rate threads that most people aren't necessarily ugly just look very empty and mentally weak.

Unless you are super new, stop posting in waywt, stop posting in recent cops/cop or not threads and stop posting in face rate threads because that it won't help you feel more secure about yourself in the long run.

Work on your personality and buy less clothes.

I'm a latebloomer. Almost 19, 5'8 hardly any facial /chest hair, young features.

I finished all my general ed classes and I still have no idea what to major in, I like humanities but I dont want to be poor. Should I just do stem even if it's boring?

I've wanted to kill myself since I was 13

>>12574254
>>12574288
Yes

>>12574295
I understand why a lot of people find stem boring, but how the fuck do people find humanities interesting?

>>12574324
where from

>>12574295
I'm heading towards the same trail. I'm not quite sure what to do, all I know is I'll end up being a failure. I like making things so I chose the architecture route because I was interested in it for so long. But man is that a let down, I LOVE learning about building and parts to the building/art. The prerequisites for it just made me lose even more hope. I want to try a trade but I'm not sure.

I want to do something I love but I also want to be financially stable.

>>12574395

What don't you like about architecture? Seems effay as fuck.

>tfw gyno

>>12574328
How do people discount an entire range of topics within humanities "boring? How do people find anything boring? Literally everything is so interesting once you at least try to understand it.

>skinnyfat with massive thighs

>my feet are halfway between sizes and the shoes I want don't have .5s

>>12574304

I love you man don't let those feels get u down

I dress to cover my flaws, and while it makes me happy. The things I truly like I don't look good in.

>>12574260
most people on here don't know the first thing about fashion.
It's a bunch of unfashionable, insecure teenagers talking to other insecure, unfashionable teenagers pretending to have a sense of fashion, self esteem and an age above 17.

Still i have yet to find a place on the internet that is better when it comes to fashion,
Just recently saw a post on r/malefashionadvice telling me stuff from summer 13/14 was the new hot shit in summer 17, even praising Stan Smiths as completely new and hot.

SO IF THERE IS A BETTER PLACE THAN /FA/ TELL ME

>>12574616

>>12574648

You know that you are wrong, right?

>>12574748
but are you happier?

>>12574212
I have everything going for me (atleast physically) but I'm about to turn 24 and I'm balding severely

I have a solid V hairline. Been on fin for 5 months now so I'm really fucking hoping for a miracle

>>12574777
??

>>12574789
a little

Most of us /fa/gotts are cynical and bitter, and that makes me very fucking sad.

Also, I fuck with techwear hard and it being pretty much a meme now results in me REEEing inside

>>12574777
trips is always right

I can tell that I had a lot of genetic potential. I'm still halfway cute. BUT I have a recessed jaw and bad teeth that were never fixed so growing up my face has never looked right to me. I feel like I was supposed to have more forwards projection and definition but thanks to bad oral posture as a child I'm kind of flat-faced now. In the mirror in certain lightings I'm really happy but when I go to take a picture I always nearly gag. It's like what I'm seeing is not what I expect to see because something went wrong. I wish I knew for sure whether I could fix it or if I'll somehow make things worse.

>>12574212
Lost both my front teeth when I was 12. I would not have it any other way, being ugly is fucking sick.

>see guides on /fa/
>looks pretty simple to follow basics
>feel confident
>go into store
>nothing fits right
>legs too short, shoulders too narrow, arms too skinny, thighs too big, feet too big
>nothing looks good
>realize i'll just look try hard after years of only wearing tshirts/jeans/sneakers
>realize even if the fit was there, i'm only doing it to impress people, and it would be so transparent that i'd look like a fool
>go home to wardrobe ice had since high school, defeated before I even began

I don't see the point of being fashionable for the sake of it. The only thing that makes sense to me is dressing for utility, so I don't think i'll ever be able to spend money on clothes that aren't going to help me survive.

>come here to talk about clothes and instead I get /r9k/ and /pol/ spillover

i got scoliosis and it pushes my chest forward giving the look of man boobs that i don't have

I fucking hate my appearance apart from my face so much. It's all I think about and it depresses me.

>>12575134
Do you do any physical exercise? I found after just doing daily activity it greatly helped my feelings of self image and worth
>>12575109
Fuck dude that actually blows a lot. Is there any surgery or anything like that you can get?
>>12575076
Sounds like you're getting caught in your head and thinking you're doing this for the wrong reasons anon. Sometimes stores have weird sizing, I remember going to a store and it being designed for an Italian build so literally everything didn't fit. You just gotta keep looking! Plus when it comes to dressing well, I like to think of the following
>when I wear clothes I love, I both enjoy the act of putting on and wearing the clothing and I feel more confident in it
It's really quite nice just having a highlight of the day being putting on pants that are comfortable and look great. Plus, every now and then I get a compliment on a piece and that's always good. I remember my first McQueen scarf. The first time wearing it a super cute girl behind the till of the school's Starbucks complimented me on it, saying it was beautiful. Then within an hour while I was studying a guy walked by, stopped, back tracked two steps and asked to see it (I was hanging it on a fixed chair at a table in one of the cafeterias) and said it was a beautiful scarf. Idk, feels good man.
>regardless of how much people say they don't, people judge others hard on how they dress.
Remember that. It helps with interviews, daily interactions, sometimes you'll see a girl eyeing you up. Its nice.
You might think its shallow and vapid to do so to impress but, I mean, everyone is shallow and vapid. Wear clothing that fits and is beautiful and the compliments you get are because it's beautiful, not because you are a walking billboard and they like the brand

>>12574731
5'3, also extensively enjoy literature, broad music taste, dresses nicely, I play tennis and I'm into running, cute. What am I doing wrong? Is it because I'm a womanlet?

>>12575278
Kek, literal areyoume.jpg. You take meds for your adhd? I'm on vyvanse. Shots really nice actually

Okay let's see.
My back has stretch marks because of my bad posture when sitting.
My smile looks stupid.
I lack the discipline to do any kind of exercise for more than 3 months in a row, so I'll probably get fat in a couple of years, and only fatter from there on, and I'll have a huge disgusting beer belly like my grandpa.
The only facial hair I can grow is a pathetic teen moustache.

And well I'm a shut in and too introverted and I feel LIKE i ONCE WAS FUN TO HANG WITH BUT HIGHSCHOOL ENDED AND NOW I FEEL LIKE IM TOO BORING FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY BEING WITH ME. oops caps

I'm very happy that I'm improving myself by paying more attention and care to my body, but I hate the thirstiness of some people for romance. My life was so much more relaxed when I only wore sweatpants and sweatjackets with hair that is messy and skin that was dried and shit, but I cant go back because it even pisses me off nowadays when even my socks and shoes don't match. I can't go back now. I will say that if you take good care of yourself and people start finding you attractive, their patience with you is going to go off the moon

>>12574748
if u aint /fit/ /lit/ & /fa/ you aint shit i say

/a/ /tv/ & /v/ babbies will disagree but it is true

pic related, it's me

>>12574514
I'm thinking of starting to go to the gym with my bf, should I?

>>12574566
What do you actually like anon?

>>12575217
personally im 6'3 and check off your standards pretty well but I've never dated a girl below 5'7 because it feels disproportionate (like having to crane you neck to make eye contact, having longer and slimmer legs than the gf). Its pretty standard for couples to prefer a 4-7 inch height difference so it's probably for the best to pursue 5'10 guys instead of 6+ (which is still tall relative to you so there shouldnt be a problem)

>>12575278
I once had a similar problem, if your personality is a little bit to much for most people try to quite down a bit and focus more on expressing yourself through your body language and face, you will become known as a good listener/sweet

>>12575376
don't worry about being boring. honestly maybe 1/4 of people are actually interesting/funny in general conversation. If you make an effort to be a genuine and friendly person you will be liked without needing to carry conversations

>>12575408
as cancer as 4chan is browsing /falitfit/ really can make improvements in a person longterm

Most of my self esteem is my hair, and most of the times it is pretty shit

>>12574225
Dude same
I didn't even know much about or care about MPB/receding but now I'm constantly paranoid that it'll happen to me

>>12575429
yes, but not everytime

every guy needs to be able to go to the gym alone/with-only-gymbros sometimes and just unwind without having to worry about other guys mirin the gf doing squats

>>12575463
Is there a good /fit/ graph for someone who has really never done anything like this?

>>12575444
i wouldn't necessarily agree that 5'10 should be the ceiling of what she looks for, but guys over 6'1 honestly looks like fathers if their gf is 5'3 or lower

>>12574441
Need years of other classes and one of the most stressful professions. Not to mention you need internships and extra years of work to even apply anywhere. Also a trash Professor, but that's just an outlier thing.

Well obviously its my fault. I didn't say it wasn't
Im also going to community college even though i got accepted to universities because my parents think im too stupid and dont want to waste money. I doubt the social opportunities there are anything close to what I would get at a normal school and im already late on so much stuff like my first kiss, first party, and a bunch of other stuff. I dont want people to know that i haven't kissed a girl but if i do end up doing it ill be bad at it and she will find out or be creeped out by the awkwardness

halfway through being 21 and I still have acne.
Spent the last 3 years trying all different antibiotics, changing my facial care routine, improving my physical health and eating better, practising the best hygiene i can without going complete OCD freak and it still persists.
Along with being a bipolar schizophrenic it's drove depressive episodes to affect my hypomania states to the point where i can't even leave my house because the paranioa that people are looking at me and thinking i'm gross is too much for me to take

When I first went to uni I was massively insecure about how I looked, but I didn't know anything about fashion and hadn't even bought my own clothes before. Now I have a bedroom full of shit from Primark/H&M, still just as insecure and fully aware I could've bought a decent wardrobe twice over with the amount of cash I've blown on cheap hoodies and t-shirts.

You sound like an interesting and cool guy. Sorry about your loss man.

>>12575376
My best advice about being boring is that if you just pretend to be interested in people and just compliment them about shit that you think is vaguely positive almost everyone is vain enough to think you're a great person

Dont go into stem if you hate it. Its gonna crush you.
Just go into business or something. Finance is good too.
I told myself that if I couldn't figure out what i wanted to do after two years of college id just major in finance.
Have a job now and even though the work is pretty boring the hours are good enough that i can do whatever in my free time and not have to worry about money

>>12576837
>ordering something expensive without return policy

>>12576901
>Dont go into stem if you hate it. Its gonna crush you
Fucking this. I study minimum 10 hours a day, including weekends, because I want to do something with my stem degree (and I am competing with people that get over 100% on tests for jobs). If you don't fucking love your studies and see it as a labour of love then they'll just wreck you.

>>12574212
tell me about it.

some shit female dentist who couldn't even speak our native language properly put a fucking dent in one of my teeth. I was just going in for a check-up and nothing more and she was knocking against my teeth like a retard. that was years ago. thankfully the dent is not very visible especially when covered with saliva.

I got slight hairloss in the front too and no fucking money to do anything against that because broke until at least September.

I only have shit clothes because of that too. I want a particular watch and I want a whole new wardrobe. I'd really need it after all these years.

my guess is you're both ugly

I can never tell myself I genuinely look good. I hate my body but never have enough willpower to fix it. My hair is shit in my opinion, but don't know what to do with it and I just have too many insecurities to count. If there's too many wrinkles on my clothes, I get too scared to go out or take another hour or two to change out of fear of being made fun of for some reason. I'm just a mess in general.

>>12575440
I like a tighter silhouette with low collars, and scoop necks and what not.

I'm a fucking mutant with a giraffe/vulture neck and so literally everything I wear on my torso is a turtleneck or a funnel neck. Sweaters, shirts, tees, everything has a high neck because I hate it lol. You know that /fa/ meetup and the guy with the long neck? I'm like that.

beauty and fashion has become more of a curse than a blessing now, because people just want to have sex with me because i'm so attractive and i just want something meaningful. it also doesn't help that a lot of customers at my work, and employees, hit on me daily. at first i was ok with it and i lived in the vanity, but it's getting old and annoying.

>>12578621
The point isn't that life could be worse
I don't want to compare myself to someone else's life. Everyone goes through things differently. If life was so one sided it'd be dull. Focusing on insecurities let's you learn, live, move on, and forget.
Just let me live my life how I want pls
If I want to be depressed let me be senpai

>this is kinda a big one, if i could get over this, i could get into social media and get more comfortable

If you think that the photos you take are drastically different from how you look in the mirror look up ways to improve your selfies online.
A simple horizontal flip of a photo can make you look exactly how you looked on the screen when you take a selfie (like a mirror).
If you have problems with photos taken from other people there is nothing you can do, i see a lot of people looking way worse in photos they're tagged on compared with photos they take them self.

Long story short, I have super curly hair, and have always hated it so I kept it super short, but I also hate super short hair. Been slowly balding for about a year and a half now. Since I noticed it I had an epiphany that I think I'd really like long curly hair. I thought I could grow my hair out and at least enjoy having cool hair for once in my life before I have to buzz it off in another year or two. But no, as I've noticed in these last months as it's grown to about 7 inches that the thinning hair is also DRASTICALLY more frizzy and dry than all the other hair, so it looks super fucking bad.

I've been wearing a touque for the last 4 months as I wait for my hair to be long enough to tie it up in a bun (which hides the frizzyness). It's so fucking hot out bros. Holy shit. I hate wearing this stupid hat.

For me it's not that, i actually think i'm attractive in the mirror but photos fuck up some times.
Different camera lenses and distances to the camera can make you look very different.

>>12579002
honestly i feel a lot of it is a bdd thing, im trying to do exercise and eat better/sleep better just to try and feel better about myself.
if people say i'm handsome maybe i just ought to except it (sounds narcissistic i know)

>>12574212
I have great facial structure, won the genetic lottery with my teeth and hair, and am in good shape. /fa/ has not only given me the ability to dress the best I possibly can, but also to bring out the best in my own human body and thus feel more confident and be able to live my life more fully.


Why is it, then, that no matter how many parties I go to, people I meet, and friends I make, I can't shake this loneliness? I could settle for a good looking GF if I wanted to, but i'm only attracted to cute short girls that are fun and share a few of my hobbies. I'm 18 and still a virgin (but i've kissed, held hands, oral, etc) but all I want is for someone to look up to me and take a true interest in me and let me support them.


I've changed the way i've looked dramatically for the better but damn is it hard to change the way I feel.

>>12574295
The whole, "find something you love to do" thing is a crock of bullshit. If you think you're not cut out for a STEM curriculum, then either find an in-demand trades job, a job that assists others in the STEM field, some cushy government job, or just be something else where the job prospects will probably lead you to the bottom of a bottle of alcohol.

You could easily become a physical therapy assistant. The only math class that you'd take is Intro to College Math (Algebra I & II, and depending of the program, you wouldn't even need trig). The rest of your classes consist of basic anatomy, kinesiology, medical ethics, etc. I'm pretty sure you don't even need to take chem. or physics. If you think a curriculum like above is rough, then you should go work on the back of a trash truck. I learned a lot of that shit my freshman year of high school, so it should be easy for someone with an average IQ to do.

Things like PTA jobs are highly in-demand, you could expect to earn 30-50k yearly, and you're pretty much guaranteed a job after three years of education. Trades jobs are always there, but many of those jobs will put you up shits creek if you were to get hurt outside of the workplace, or they take such a toll on your body that you won't even be able to enjoy retirement. Even being something like an electrician can still fuck up your body.

The main purpose of a job, for the majority of us, is to supply us with the money we need to enjoy more freedom and security in our lives.

I suggest that you go learn a hobby that will allow you to start a business around it in the future. If you get good enough, then it'll give you incentive to work hard in order to give you more freedom to improve and expand your hobby. All the while you could use the money you save from your job, and start a side-business which might take off.

Capitalist mirror tool detected

>>12583856
Whatever you say, Numen. Just realize that every time you complete a captcha on 4chan you're participating in capitalism. Your existence is probably, in some form or another, deeply rooted in capitalism. In a sense, you're just a capitalist tool as well.

It's pretty crazy, right? Do you know what's crazier? Having a greater understanding of your place in western society, and the macroeconomic factors which directly determine your standard of living in this society.

Secondly, I haven't seen you contribute once to the /DIY/ thread on this board. Uh oh, Numen. It's looking like you're autistic here, buddy.

>>12582613
Damn dude, I went through an extremely similar situation last summer. I ended things pretty quick with the new girl, and now a year later every time I see her on insta I kick myself for being an idiot. Basically I'm saying you need to give up that girl from the past who manipulated you, your lingering feelings for her are getting in the way of you properly connecting with this new one. Best of luck dude.

I peaked in March of this year and ever since my life went downhill, I've never tought about killing myself before but now it seems like I'd be relieved. Everyday I feel like it's becomming my one and only option

The girl I met was perfect, and the only one like her I ever met in 20 years of life. We were actually on a very good way until she told me it would never be possible between us, leading to a severe depressive episode. Not over it at all.

Then my computer broke just a bit before my finals, leading me to take a lot of lateness and having to work by night while being constantly sad because of the forementionned evenment.

Finally I got my exams by chance but every school I tried to get in after my diploma either refused or put me on a waiting list even though I was the 2nd best student in my section, so now I do not know what I'll do with my life.

Literally my only chance is a modelling contest in September. Now I'm stuck in a shit 1 month internship, unpaid, that is useless to me, with my fucking feelings, and I caught a growing addiction to alcohol

>>12585286
Oneitis is fucking lame cuck shit. That chicks pussy feels no different than a tinder chick that will fuck raw 15mins into meeting her. 10 of that finding a place to fuck in an alleyway.

Internships = slave labor. All college kids have to put in some free work these days in 2017 to make sure you're worth hiring. Degrees don't mean shit if you're a lazy millennial who is totally going to make it big as a YouTube content creator/daytrader/penny stocks millionaire/EDM music artist/indie game dev/ coder / crypto currency investor.


We have you do shit like mop floors, scrub toilets, fix printers, get everyone lunch

Just to prove that your ass listens and actually gets shit done.

I'm not going to lie to you. There are times where we almost considered picking up interns until someone with experience who can generate revenue from day 1 rather than be baby saylt through training for months...applied and got hired....and we just sort of forgot to layoff the intern and it's nice getting someone to do bitchwork for free and being so used to it for most of the year...and I almost feel bad...but there is solace in that you bolstered an empty resume for doing nearly nothing.

And putting toilet paper in the bathroom turned into adminstrative assistant and junior filing clerk "managed firm's client "outake forms" (bits of shit covered toilet paper that missed the bowl) formsand general office paperwork (as in the paper used to wipe ass)

That's a fair assessment, the language we use is predominately capitalist, this however doesn't preclude us from distinguishing the truly life-negating metaphysical abstractions of the system of production and avoiding them. Your statement is of a submissive kind where the imposition actually permits plenty of leeway.

100% truth here.

Your life vastly improves if you completely cut social/political/professional/tangintial interactions with all undesirable minorities.

I used to be an edgy little liberal shitface back in college, super into Ron Paul and voted Obama for his first term.

Used to hangout with any race or creed. And wondered why life was shit.


Then I slowly started cutting ties with anyone who was: Black, Mexican or any form of Mexican (you know what I mean...hurrdurr I'm not Mexican I'm Puerto Rican), Middle Eastern/Arab, Indian, Chinese, South Korean, Filipino, or Jewish and Slavic in descent. In addition anyone who had dyed their hair some form of neon (male or female), and anyone who was Gay or vocally LGBTBStreefucker positive since alot just use it as a replacement for a personality.

And my life vastly fucking improved.

I've become more socially conservative as a result of aging. Rather than the whole Ron Paul yeah repeal fucking everything. Hurr Durr none of the government funded anything works. Super small government hurr Durr. But my understanding of societal constructs and social services grew wider as I matured. I'm assuming the whole anti-fa pro communist nonsense these kids spout today is similar to my far right to center right shift. Just starting off far left...

Let me be clear here
I don't want undesirables dead, but I do see that those type of people tend to have a detrimental effect of your own life both in a social and professional manner.

I see the point in healthcare and welfare in places like Detroit, as it is human life.
But I personally don't want to interact with those people as they contribute nothing to my own personal life. Separate but equal I guess is the easiest method in which I can phrase that.

I mean even in the professional world, farruk Muhammad or treyvon Smith handing me his business card hoping for us to utilize his services has no chance of getting hired.

>and avoiding them.
You've already stated how you don't avoid them, and what I've stated isn't attributable to the picture you posted; because I fully agree that much of capitalism is unavoidable. However, participating on 4chan is a capitalistic act that you can easily avoid, but you don't do so. Instead, you're a member on one of the most capitalistic boards on 4chan, one that avidly & unabashedly promotes consumerism.

>Your statement is of a submissive kind.
No it's not. I just currently value realism over idealism. It's one of the main ways, in my society, which will allow me the proper freedom to one day truly seek value in idealism. Is this a bad thing due to capitalism? Maybe, but at the same time it may be the best way for me to deal with the issue.

I'm hopeful that I am able to create enough capital in my life so that my children can focus more so on these idealistic views which you're attempting to promote. If you really do have the freedom to promote these views, then why do it on 4chan?

Why not start an organization with salient goals on achieving your viewpoint?

what is this haircut called

Nasty teeth due to not looking after them when younger.

Dark souless eyes

>>12588046
So essentially, what avoidance did you mean in relation to these metaphysical, life-negating abstractions in regards to a system of production? What do you attempt to actively avoid? You take a hard lined approach to calling me out on capitalist ideals, while using language that could easily be perceived as being negative in nature, and then you attempt to pivot away from the part of your statement which deals with the call-to-action in regards to your perceived viewpoint.

You speak of me as being the one to use submissiveness to give me leeway, but you're the one who's cherry-picking & moving the goal posts.

>How does this bear on anything I've said?

What do you mean? By the standards & language that you've presented towards me, it's easy to understand that you are a hypocrite, and you are oblivious to it. Or you, at present, exhibit the symptomatology of a particular subset of psychosomatic maladies in which you are in current need of active aesculapian sustenance.

I wear sweatpants and "streetwear type" shirts in other words I dress like a slob even though I have the means to pull together a nice fit. On top of that my torso is shaped weirdly which in some tshirts look stretched out because I also have a weird posture. On top of that being bone skinny and pale with an undercut means I wear long sleve shirts because they are the only thing that fits well.
