Improving SMV when you are already thin?

ItWasBrokenAlready · 2019-08-01T07:35:36+00:00

Body shape is a big part of controllable attractiveness (about 80% in my opinion), but it's not all you can do. Surely, the change won't be as drastic as going from overweight to gym rat, but it still makes a huge difference. Here's my approach to some of the areas that can be improved. My general philosophy is to put some effort beforehand, so it looks effortless later on.

I. Clothes

I wear dresses only. Mostly because I'm lazy and the whole 'creating an outfit' thing is way to much hassle for me (so if you like it and you're good at it, that advice is not for you). Dress is basically a one-piece outfit. You pick up a dress from your wardrobe, then depending on the season warm black tights, transparent tights or no tights, some necklace if I feel like it, and dooone. No more matching pants/skirts to blouses, choosing accessories to make them more chic/casual and all that headache. I also don't have any ugly/so-so clothes in my wardrobe (save for sports stuff, and even they are cute), so even if I woke up and felt like 'I'm not putting any effort today, just pants and hoodie for me', there's physically no way for me to dress ugly. Everything I own is at least 'make a nice impression on a coffee date' level. And it costs me zero effort to 'dress up', it's just picking stuff from closet, that happens to be elegant and feminine.

II. Body (except the not-being-fat thing).

My goal for the past year was what I call 'swimming pool look' aka 'I woke up like this!'. It's less about being natural, but more about concentrating care on more permanent / semi-permanent solutions. The goal is to put money and time into stuff that enhances your looks in every situation, instead of waking up as Shrek and turning into princess everyday morning. It makes biggest impression in holiday / sports situation - I look as good on photos from hiking trips as from dinners/parties.

a) Brows

Brows can make or destroy the harmony of the face. Get them in perfect shape, and that doesn't mean necessarily following the latest trends. If you can't do it, pay someone to do it. Use conditioner. If they are too bright, some henna.

b) Eyelashes

I wore 1:1 fakes for a year, but in the end, it's not for me. Currently I do tons of eyelash care and the results are very good. Growth serums really, really work for me, they're at almost hitting eyelid - length now, so the extensions became redundant. I do eyelash perm once a month, so they are curled in a nice shape and adding bit of even cheapest mascara gives the 'fake lashes' effect. I also use oils to keep them thick and strong.

c) Skincare

There's a lot of skincare info out there. Second to brows, that's what makes the biggest difference in how the face looks imho. Unfortunately, there's no one size fits all solution - I changed my routine a few times this year depending on weather / skin condition. Main rules - moisturize, exfoliate & use sunscreen. Always clean makeup before going to bed. I spent some cash on acids (not the fillers, but exfoliants, like mandelic acid) and it cleared my skin a lot and normalized sebum production. I use mostly asian sunscreen because local ones tend to be very heavy shiny. I went from full concealer + foundation + powder thing through BB cream to just a bit of translucent powder (which I consider going off right now, as the shine problem is gone) not because I wan't to be natural or 'feel confident in my skin' but because my skin improved so much it's really not needed anymore. It takes time, but it's really doable.

d) Hair

Don't be cheap on a good hairdresser. For long hair, make a braid or otherwise keep them safe for night, it reduces damage a lot. Use conditioners. Research some hair-nerd communities and follow advice of people who post pics with great result.

e) Hands / nails

Moisturize. Keep them shiny and clean. It's a no-brainer.

Results:

As I changed from makeup heavy to more consistent beauty care, the proportion of compliments switched: a lot more from men, bit less from women. All the 'such a natural beauty / glowy / feminine' stuff. Recently, after just taking a shower and being ready to go, my man commented something about why I decided put evening eye makeup on a regular day (dark, long and curly lashes). Then he came closer and realized it was no mascara and just a bit wet from the shower, and said something like 'Wow, you're so lucky to just look flawless without all the stuff lots of girls have to do to achieve worse results'. I had and internal evil laughter going on in back of my head and just thought 'Oh, sweet summer child..' ;)

Makeup, honey! Look up videos for everyday glam or natural makeup. And work on your disposition and your aura. There are women that just light up a room and while it's easier to do this when you're beautiful, the vast majority of women can still do it. But if your attitude is gross, gossipy, boring, low self worth, ect, your aura can show that. Don't be a storm cloud!

And even though you're thin, go to the gym. Skinny with a flat ass and weak thighs is nothing compared to skinny with a nice bubble butt and toned legs/arms. We can all always be better :)

Posture and attitude have a huge affect on how appealing you come off to others. If your feeling confident and happy with yourself, that’s when people will see you as attractive. No amount of makeup and style will cover up your slouch and frown.. so be sure to count your blessings and smile to yourself and others :)

What about your face makes you think it's not beautiful? I do agree with what someone said, working out and getting in shape is so important and beneficial even when you're already thin. I'm 5'2 and 105 lbs and had no muscle definition prior to joining the gym. I've been going for about 2 years now and get complimented on my progress and am falling in love with the way I look more and more all the time! We can always make ourselves better and should be striving to do so!

Meet a lot of men, but don't have sex with them. The aware ones are waking up to a whole new aesthetic. If you're thin, you're already beautiful, even though you may not know it. Know it. Read Helmstetter's What to Say When You Talk to Yourself. Don't clown up, concentrate on personal development, physical and intellectual. Not sure if private messages can be done here, but i'm on protonmail if you want more advice. All the best.

There are so many things you can focus on to improve your SMV the are not weight loss related. Here's some things off the top of my head.

Hair: color, cut, health
Face: plastc surgery, make up, skin care
Clothes: style, fit, color.
Body: muscle building/toning, plastic surgery, skin care, hair removal.
Misc: Teeth, nails, eyebrows...

Each small thing you do only adds a little but they add up, and pretty soon men are blatantly hitting on you while your boyfriend is standing right there...

Beauty is closely linked to health; markers of health and fertility signal feminine beauty. Are your teeth straight and clean looking? Do you have shiny, kept hair? Are your nails clean and kept? How about your skin- is it soft and clear?

You'll come a long way if you tackle these bases.

Every time someone posts this: feminine beauty is highly controllable.

Plastic surgery is an option. Makeup skills and dressing well will up your value as well. Can't go wrong investing in your skin care.

Smv isn't all in appearance either, work on your personality and social skills.

(the most potent phytoestrogen yet discovered)

If your “face” is something you feel is an issue, an active, yet subtle and non-surgical way you can help is by “softening” your facial features. Subtle changes in the skin, muscle tone, and the way your face stores fat and retains water will all help subtly reshape your facial features to give a more “feminine” appearance.

Also, have you heard of “skinny fat”?

Just because you’re 125 doesn’t mean that’s the end of the story. I have a friend who is just like you, 5’4”, 125 lbs, face like a mouse. Her legs are all flabby. She can pinch more than an inch on her lower stomach. She’s “thin,” but she’s also not “in shape.” Forget about the butt, because then we would just be getting cruel if we started talking about that (or lack thereof).

Forget intermittent fasting as a woman, because of kisspeptin. Instead, make a plan to go on a semi-therapeutic (80% calories from fat) ketogenic diet for 6 weeks, and then transition to vanilla keto (70% calories from fat) for the next 6 weeks, and then transition to classic Atkins (less than 20g of carbs per day, only fat and protein, but no fat targets) for the next 6 weeks, and then transition to a classic 20/40/40 (20% good unsaturated fats, 40% complex carbs and veggies, and 40% lean proteins sources like egg whites and free range chicken).

STAY AWAY FROM CARDIO!!! (10-15 mins of cardio MAX in any single day).

Start off with working out 3x per week for just 45mins per day.

Tues: Legs & Lower Back

Thurs: Abs & Core

Sat: Legs & Lower Back

Then move to 4x per week:

Tues: Legs & Lower Back Wednesday: Abs & Core Sat: Legs & Lower Back Sun: Abs & Core

Then go hard on Sat & Sunday (2.5+ hours each day at the gym).

Start there. When you have a solid foundation, the rest has a way of taking care of itself. Suddenly, clothes you were too afraid to even THINK about THINKING about wearing will be things you’re curious about and suddenly feel a desire or interest in trying out and wearing. You’ll feel better and more comfortable wearing things you never worse before, and just look happier and more comfortable in whatever you wear.

Plus, you’ll naturally be less defensive, anxious and closed off (relative to before).
