I've pretty much just refined and expanded my taste. I'm the same, I just know a bit more and am more aware of the spectrum of fashion.

For me I'd say it's given me a place to see hilarious discussion on a lots fashion related and non-fashion related things. You can't always get that on the big forums.

I've also been able to see lots of people progress through different fits they have posted over time in WAYWT. And that's really cool.

/fa/ gave me the motivation to lose some weight.

Also brought me out of that stupid phase where someone is just getting into fashion and is making too many mistakes. I was pretty delusional before I found /fa/. I'm glad it brought me back to earth and gave me some perspective, despite this board being tough on a lot of people.

I gained a new appreciation for high fashion which wasn't present before.

You guys are alright.

>> No.5989462

/fa/ has introduced me to new styles, designers, cultures and people. Overall, I'd say it has been a fantastic place for personal growth, or at least the start of it. Naturally /fa/ is kind of a self study centre more so than anywhere else due to the amount of crap on here, but once you get a good filter on this place can yield some wonderful stuff.

I also like the community here quite a bit, even if the community doesn't like me sometimes(all the time)

None.

It made me care for clothes which is awful because I am poor. I now find anything but designer clothes ugly but I can't afford them.

It made me be more critical with me. I was happy with my height but now realized I am a manlet and have weird proportions.

I also feel bad for not having a model-tier face.

I also get annoyed by all the people here spelling like hoodrats. (u, w/, fuccboi, b, as fuck, fab and so on)

It makes me angry how vicious people here can be. If someone for example posts a picture of himself and he is a bit chubby instead of politely advising him to lose weight everybody starts calling him a disgusting fatty like high school bullies.

I actually stopped browsing this board as I think that it's one of the most awful ones mainly because of the teenage demographic. Just passing by because I am currently bored.

Positive things: none, I would have found my taste and how to shop for things I like without any of you faggots. Or I would have discovered StyleForum and ToJ and hung around there rather than here before deciding they all needed to be euthanized.

What's it taught me? That "fashion people" are people I want nothing to do with. Clothes and "style" are things you should address personally and internalize, not be a fucking cunt about on the internet or bring attention to it in real life. "Look at me! Look what I'm wearing and how much I know about it!" totally defeats the point of adopting a persona that impresses other people and makes them want to be like you.

I can safely say I've been on enough 4chan boards for long enough periods of time to decide that /fa/ has hands down one of the worst user bases and tripcodes ON THE WEBSITE. Fuck, don't get me started on the external /fa/ communities that branch out from here on IRC and elsewhere.

Actually, that's not true, a couple of you are bros but you're heavily outnumbered by the people who need a hole in their face.

Before someone says it, the only reason I'm here at all right now is boredom and I'm not a common poster, not even a lurker these days. Peace out homos.

/fa/ helped me understand how to work in different pieces of articles of clothing together so they look good (do not read: goofninja or dadcore)

then you add in some psychedelics and you realize who you are. you buy clothes that fit who you are while understanding what /fa/ has tought you about fits and aesthetics

ive also come to respect different styles of fashion. if i never visited /fa/ and i saw a goof walking around id probably laugh at them (in my head at least). but i see the art in it even though id never go full-retard ninja. thats just one example tho.

also learned quite a bit about construction, materials, fashion models/designers/the industry etc. gave me a new appreciation for fashion. not saying /fa/ taught me all this shit, but it was definitely a catalyst for me to research more and more.

that's what ive taken from my 3ish years on this board

also, the evolution, or rather, devolution of the number of quality tripfags over the years is quite unsettling. not trying to start shit, but wow, some of you should stop tripping. you influence a lot of the 16 y/o on this board who spam your bullshit "fuccboi" and #autistic #spelling and everyone thinks its the norm and destroys any good discussion that can possibly arise, which is becoming more infrequent and rare.

Lost all my self confidence and my voice. Became really boring, uninteresting, quiet, withdrawn. People generally think I'm depressed or weird.

The biggest positive is that pushing myself in fashion has also influenced me to push myself harder in order things as well.

Guess fashion wise, my knowledge of fashion has expanded, both in the range of style and luxury.

The prevailing mindset of an aesthetically oriented male (disliking fashion, the dadcore-to-gothninja-to-rick owens trasitions, wanting women to adopt a more simple, style based (vs fashion and nuanced) personal style) approach to clothing that's conflictingly both non slutty, and non prudish).

It's interesting how different folks react to the same stimuli. Some people have come to /fa/ and been enriched, discovered the importance of being one's self and remaining nonjudgemental. Others have found it feeds their insecurities. /fa/ has left them with feelings of superiority and a tendency to look at the average man in their sphere as plebeian or otherwise less than. Many in this thread say that the overall experience has harmed their quality of living.
This means that we've all come to the table here with some kernel of personal philosophy that has blossomed into something either terrible or wonderful. We are in essence the same people we always were, only more so.
I myself have been taught a new language and granted a critical eye. I've met many interesting people and been reminded of the fact that I will never please everybody, that some people will always hate. It's unfortunate, because in the end, all we have is each other and the present moment.

Do things that you're afraid to do, and do things that take place outside of your house.

Volunteer, go camping, go exploring, dance in front of strangers, bike an entire state, have a yard sale, join a rock climbing gym, learn a new instrument, play the one you already have in front of an audience, strike up conversations with people you don't know, walk a chunk of your city that you've never been to, take up a martial art, drive to a thrift shop or an antique dealer one state over, see a movie alone, buy a new book and read it in the park over a bagged lunch on your day off.
