What is the stereotypical heavy metal look to you? I'm curious.
Quote:
Goethe was an ultimate emo, though. "Simple people like bright colors" is an example of what you describe as "some even arrogant believing themselves superior because they were more in touch with their emotions or some s**t."
What else can I do to make an obvious joke obvious other than to mark it with those ":lol:
" ?Because it apparently failed.
I don't actually believe in Goethe's colour theory, I just think it's funny.
This is a problem, generally speaking (and not referring to this thread).
I suggest you *also* add a qualifier such as "<joke>"

I stick with Goethe’s colour theory in this regards, who said:”Only children and simple people like bright colours.”

Unaesthetic and infantile? I love plushies, Hello Kitty, Moomin, Monchhichi (I’m getting my first one with my Christmas money. I named her Ribbon after the fairy from the N64 Kirby game), unicorns, baby animals, bunnies, Disney and get easily attached to my Pokémon and Neopets. I also love Pusheen.
I’m naturally that way and I don’t find any of that simple. Most of my female friends chose to do the ladylike, glow up crap. That’s their fault because they had kids.
BTW, have a read of my signature.

Skrew social convention.

My point was it is wrong and infantile in itself to judge any look you don't like as "Unaesthetic and infantile".
On your original question, I suggest something that would help you to make an informed decision: imagine you are at your goal weight already, really try to feel it. Then ask yourself a question: would you go out of your way to reach your current weight with some weight gaining diet? Would you sacrifice some of your health, because this is what you really believe is better reflection of your personality and your values or would help you to achieve something important for you? E.g. Christian Bale gained a ton of weight for Dick Cheney role because his method acting, recognition as actor, possible academy awards are more important for him than damage to his health. What your motivation would be?
Even if you really don't care about beauty standards, and this is not a factor at all, your health is. Unless there are reasons outweighing your health, this should be your goal. Weight loss is not that hard or stressful and doesn't take a toll on mental health when executed properly, "weight loss or mental health" is false dilemma.
Agreed.
From personal experience, shedding excess weight made me euphoric when approaching my goal.
Being able to walk upstairs without even being consciously aware of doing so, gives me a bit of a psychological lift every time I think about it.
It pleases me that those days are behind me.

I red read most of the article, but didn't see any indication that colour is the "primary" reason for sexual attraction.
It is simply a factor.
If the woman had a twin wearing a blue dress instead, the study would predict that the woman in the red dress would gain more attention.
The stimulative property of the colour red is old news to me.
It is connected to excitability.

Agreed.
One consideration about the colour red is that blood is red, also.

The person I’m talking about would be considered slightly overweight even during the Zaftig Victorian Era. She is sort of short and stubby—but cute
