    Fun… that part of your body you hate? I can pretty much guarantee you people haven’t noticed flaws with it and if they did, it doesn’t mean much to them. So you can relax, nobody is looking at it!

    Serious… always trust your gut instinct. Always. It’s your unconscious telling you something. If a man gives you the heeby jeebies and you don’t know why, stay away. If you get an urge to GTFO of somewhere, go. It’s saved many women a lot of pain!

      There was an old meme that was like Woman: “he’s probably so turned off by my [some body thing]” Guy: “omg omg omg she’s letting me touch her this is amazing”

      This scales down to non intimite scenes, too. The product manager lady at my old job once remarked unfavourably on her body and it surprised me. She always looked like a well dressed, healthy, attractive, person to me. I had given zero thought to the thing she complained about.

        Ha that meme is so accurate! I remember my mate saying whenever he was with a woman the only thing he was thinking was “OMG this is great!!” And literally nothing else

        Adding to this, I’m often really amazed when I do notice some imperfection someone has and they’re just… Rocking it? Like, they’re not ashamed and something about that confidence turns it into a positive. I fully stopped dying my hair because I saw someone I admire embracing the whites, and she’s stunning. Very well put together too, just doesn’t consider this one thing to be a beauty necessity. And sometimes those little differences from the norm are just awesome.

      Yes, your gut instinct is so important! It doesn’t matter if you know exactly why you feel the need to get out. Your subconscious knows something’s off, and that’s enough. Just get out!
