    Guys and gals: Your opinion on acne and those that have visible issues with it? Do you judge people who have acne or acne scarring? What about other visible skin issues?

    All part of growing up. You can't blame them for that. Not much judging there.

    Both: What's your opinion about peeing in the shower? Gross? Not a big deal? Emergency only?

    Not a big deal. But years ago I went to England when some people still only had bath tubs and not showers. Had to learn quickly that that wasn't acceptable.

    in the sink.
    it establishes dominance.
    and that's always super important esp early in the relationship

    kitchen sink or bathroom?

    ...it matters

    bathroom sink if she's watching. kitchen sink if she's taking too long in the bathroom doing that skincare routine bs that takes an hour

    Hmm, red flag
    What kinda troll face needs an hour for a skin care routine?

    And - (just to help you out, buddy!) if you pee in the kitchen sink, and she doesn't notice - your dominant behaviour is moot.

    Just bust into the bathroom during the Trolls 1 hour skin care routine and pee in the sink - look her directly in the eyes, smirk and say "AHHHH!.....What's up with your face?"

    it's a real thing. they're in there for like a solid hour after the shower. putting on lotions and tea tree oil and bath and body works Japanese cherry blossom shimmer mist and it just gets absurd.

    🤣🤣🤣

    It’s probably 55 min of tweezing and 5 min of lotion.

    There are some things guys just need to accept and not comment on.

    Difficult to accept, and I'm glad I don't have that sort of wife.

    Men seem so much more confident in their skin than women. We as women have been told to be tanned, makeuped, tone, flawless skin, nails perfect, hair colored and styled, and men just wake up, run their hands through their hair and own their *kitten* and we really think they are beautiful, grey hairs, wrinkles and all.

    It's called marketing, but you don't need to watch all the ads.

    To guys: would you date someone that's lacks skills in the kitchen? Specialty is soup in a can? Is it a turn off?

    I'm not on the dating scene, but I've heard it doesn't matter anymore. Many kitchens are ornamental now, and people keep them spotlessly clean and unused. Even here on MFP I've seen some people enter every meal as a restaurant branded meal. They only go home to sleep.

    Girls... or I guess guys can respond to?

    Workout clothes? Do you judge ladies who wear fitted gym clothes if they have a gut or pounds to still lose. Do you prefer to be covered?


    nah, I don't ever judge what others wear







    you know... unless they're not top designer labels or fitness couture.

    only competitive body builders should do this

    on a different, yet similar issue.....

    From time to time, I do video a friend of mine at the gym (on her phone, not mine), so she can send the video to her coach in San Diego to critique her form. ( really. )

    Even for a man who is a software engineer and makes a six figure salary, his dating attempts may be entirely unsuccessful because of how society is changing. Meeting people online is becoming the norm, and a lot of stress is placed on physical beauty on sites like Tinder, even for men.


    Now that we've shown that a smile makes a huge difference, let's look at fashion. As you can see by the example below, you don't have to make a big fashion statement to be appealing. Being comfortable and confident in what you're wearing makes a huge difference. See how we barely notice his clothes?

    That confidence really shines through. See how huge his confidence is? I'm sure if he made six figures, there are plenty of women who would give this guy a chance:

    Something doesn't seem quite right with his body. I can't pinpoint it but it doesn't appear..... proportionate? I mean, he's fit AF, yet still .....

    I don’t judge them for something that’s not their fault. As someone who suffered from severe cystic acne when I was younger, I really sympathize. For many, it is hormonal. The only thing that worked for me was Accutane which I was on 5 times and the pill which both messed me up in other ways.

    No topicals worked and it was incredibly annoying for others to give suggestions for stuff that never worked like drinking water, using lemon on your face, giving up dairy, or just washing your face. None of that worked.

    I knew people that slept in their makeup, ate tons of junk food, and used bar soap and had clear skin. For many it is genetic. No judgement here.

    I hope you managed Accutane with no major issues. Your skin looks fantastic! <3
    However, it's such a hard drug on the body. :o

    Depends. How hot is he?

    I can’t even take a gym selfie without cringing. I did some form videos a couple years ago and my gym was supportive and on board with that but still made me so self-conscious.

    Well... He's probably more a Robert Downey Jr than a Brad Pitt... Or so he's been told 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    And if you need someone to help check out your *uhm form, he may have a friend 😏

    This is so complicated. Are we talking about the essence of these characters from the comic books or the movie versions played by varyingly accomplished actors over the years?

    Comic book/Pure cannon: Batman for scandalous reasons that would make hentai artists blush
    Movies: Tie between Batman (Keaton's version) or Joker (Leto's version from Suicide Squad)

    Superman just doesn't do it for me lol

    There are plenty of days I just run my hands through my hair and call it a day.

    I’m girling all wrong. 🤔😂

    Same. And nobody but nobody appreciates how damn low maintenance I am.

    I appreciate it because I, too, am the same. Which is evident by the selfies floating around this place.

    All that routine is just too much work. I got better things to do.

    Dis me. I'm in my 30s now and not even Retin-A diminishes my acne. True, it's not as severe as it could be, but it's still cystic acne, it's still visible, it still leaves scars and it's still incredibly annoying.

    And you're right, none of that crap people say to do helped diminish it at all.

    I always felt that I was being summarily judged for my skin condition(s) in the same way I get judged for being overweight. That somehow, I am lazy and lack willpower because I have it.

    Which, of course, is simply not true as you have stated. Thanks for weighing in!

    Nah. Wear whatever you want that's comfortable to workout in.

    Then again, I probably shouldn't be asked because I'm all for demystifying female boobies and letting them hang out in public (assuming the woman wants to exercise that right). :lol:

    Entertaining.

    It's only bad form if they're hogging the mirrors when someone else is trying to utilize them for some other purpose.. but usually, there's like a wall of them in the gyms I've been to, so I don't see it as a problem.
