    i just came back from LA and my self esteem is at rock bottom
    i see why people go crazy living there..... you cant go anywhere without seeing someone who looks like a perfect 10
    and theyre not even a big deal..... just another starving artist trying to get to the top
    say what you want but when most of us see attractive people we go to the drawing board to see how we can better our own looks
    today i got a haircut, laid out to tan, and will not take a rest day from gym for the foreseeable future
    not saying looks are everything but THIS VESSEL WILL LOOK THE BEST THAT IT CAN

    If you’re talking the beauty standards from the rich people from LA, the Kim Ks ect..

    I can never feel that way towards people like that, who have had surgery, fillers etc. I don’t feel less then if anything I have a bit of a superiority complex.

    I feel like everyone in LA is trying to look exotic, on the Hispanic, middle eastern, mixed with something side- Kylie Jenner for example.

    There are a lot of Latinos, middle easterners, and multi racial people. How does one *try* to look exotic?

    I know next to nothing about the Jenners. Are these both photos of the same person??

    Also, what you're talking about (trying to look exotic), isn't that a kind of fetishizing cultures and races that aren't ones' own? Kinda seems, I dunno.. icky.

    Yes there are a lot of multi racial ppl in LA. Im sayingthe beauty standard from what I’ve experienced and seen in certain parts of LA- there is particular group of people ( I have an example- Kylie Jenner who are trying to look anything but themselves.

    Yes they are the same person.

    That’s where your mind goes when you think of the word exotic? Fetishizing...
    I don’t get it.

    Step one, get more physically fit and confident. Step two, shrink to size 8 to draw them in. Step three, tell a guy that I can squat him...I usually get a phone call the next day :)

    It's much easier to make a lasting impression on a male:
    Show up naked and bring beer ...

    I never felt ugly anywhere, but I also don't physically compare myself to others whenever I enter a room.

    But, I have felt rather poor when living in SoCal (L.A. & San Diego) & other places for that matter. But, then it's my issue, cuz I'm comparing my fiances to others.

    When you live here, it is hard to move because you get used to the weather. I can’t tolerate anything colder than 70 for more than short periods.

    Can confirm. Used to live in that area and now live somewhere else that while, is usually 70 degrees or warmer, is still kinda cold in the winter and I'm freezing.

    It's currently 70 degrees in my home (with the heater), and I'm still cold! I live in hoodies and jackets indoors now. :lol:

    Same. That's why I'm in Tampa now.
