Lol, this doesn’t surprise me in the least. But I bet if some perfect Swedish model slept with 200 men and then wanted to date Yogi Bear, he would delete that post and pretend he never said it.

I mean, if I wasn't using birth control, I would be abstinent to prevent pregnancy, which would keep my future family from forming anyway.

From what I have read , from books by Steven Hassan , such as most recently " The Cult Of Trump " , adherents of such personality cults will want to model themselves after the dear leader , as clones who share the same hive mind and personality .  Like , I have read of how members of this one cult was given a personality quiz , and all wound up with the same results .  https://inorimasho.blogspot.com/2005/06/cult-testing-using-myers-briggs.html

It reminds me of all the PP minions that dress like him and cut their hair like him. It’s so strange. At least most trump humpers don’t spray their skin orange and give themselves heinous comb overs.

I ended up scoring higher on conservativism than I anticipated. I'm not sure why that is, honestly.

Caitlin has a new video up about how she got started on her "glam up." There are some comments she makes about embracing what you look like as a person and she mentions 4c hair, which is nice, but a bit weird when reflected back at her #EuropeanCouple photo. 

She also talks a lot about being rational and logical. This is something of a paradox that I've noticed in Red Pill culture. Men are supposedly the logical ones, who can rationalize without being emotional. Women are supposedly the nurturers who use and express emotion. But the women are expected to be logical and rational, too. So a I supposed to be logical and rational, like Mrs. Midwest says, or am I a child who runs on emotions who is incapable of rational thinking, a la Yogi? 

Like, I get it. I know who Jordan Peterson is, too. But when will they finally just admit that both women and men are capable of logic, and also equally capable of having emotions cloud their judgment?

at 5:35, Cynthia reveals that she found out that we were laughing at her for using Barkeeper's Friend on cast iron. She said that she only uses it "once in awhile" to clean the grime off the groves.

Girl. You need one of these. And to promise to never, never put immerse your pan in water, even if you're using an abrasive. (Which...don't use an abrasive.

Also, she's saying she was an academic before doing a 180 and doing the traditional homemaking thing. She's going to talk about her move away from academia after the holidays.

I can't ever get very far into her videos. She holds her hands like dustpans or mannequin hands- just absolutely unmoving and stiff. It's so uncomfortable to watch.

It's pretty apparent that she's in "pageant mode" all the time. She didn't naturally become a plasticine woman--her parents paid thousands of dollars to get coaches to teach her how to be that way. It makes you sad, really--who is she without all this pageant coaching and the slick veneer? It is creepy and deeply off-putting. It's like there's nothing going on upstairs.

[ViolaSebastian]

Ever wonder how YOU can walk in a more feminine way? No? Well, me neither. But here's the answer to the question that no one is asking:

1. Cynthia has recorded this video in her bare, sad-ass dining room. Seriously, the minimalism and starkness of going with a black and white color scheme makes it seem severe and depressing. I am not a fan.

2. Cynthia is qualified to tell you how to walk because she used to be a model and in pageants. She makes it clear that she's not telling you this to brag. Ok?

3. Second to posture, walking is one of the most important ways to show people your femininity. I have personally never, ever looked at a person and gone "damn, that's some feminine walking," but YMMV. You gotta walk with grace and elegance. 

4. Cynthia says, hilariously, that she's had over ten years experience with walking. I've got her beat on that front, as do most 12-year-olds. She encourages us to find a pair of heels. She says to go for a mid-range heel, while holding a high heel that looks pretty fucking high to me, higher than what I would describe as "mid-range." She says not to go super high with your heel since we are all classy women here. Anyway, you need to pay attention to the insole and put inserts in your shoes. 

5. Second tip is make sure your hips are flexible. Well, fuck. I guess I'll never be a woman who walks femininely. Your girl ViolaSebastian cannot hula hoop to save her life. Do some stretches that work your hip flexor muscles. Apparently, this will cause a natural "side to side" movement. She shows us how to lift our hips and have a "ready stance." 

6. You gotta active your core muscles, too. People feel uneasy in their heels because they're not activating their core muscles. I thought it was because of the screaming pain in my lower back, but I guess not. 

7. So, anyway, to walk like Miss Universe, the trick is act like you're lazy. Shake everything out. Apparently this is a very difficult concept to grasp. Make sure your arms move freely. 

8. Now we're talking about turning, because it seems a lot of people forget about turning. Avoid showing your "private area" as you're turning. This is always a good tip, I feel like, no matter how you're walking. Do a small circle, much like a dog. Only put one hand on your hip at a time. Don't bounce; an elegant woman "flows" through her walk. 

9. She talks about smiling. Smile a lot and it should be a genuine smile. Apparently to be genuine, when you're practicing smiling, let out a small, creepy-ass laugh. Some people don't smile naturally because they haven't been taught how. (Uh...). I circumvent this problem by only smiling when I feel like smiling. It really seems to do the trick.

So, that's that. I think I'm maybe a little dumber for having watched this video. I certainly can't put it into practice in real life. Also, how many of us are spending our day in high heels? I just walk like a damn normal person in my flats.

How the hell do you end up showing your “private area” while turning, anyway?

The way she demonstrated it is that you turn your knee out as you pivot, thus giving someone a glimpse of your crotch. But, I mean, as long as you have clothes on, I don't think this is really an issue people face. If you don't have clothes on and you're out in public, you've got bigger issues than having your knee out when you pivot.

I just watched that section and the only way I can see someone flashing their cooch doing that is if they’re wearing the micro-est of mini skirts. There is literally no reason to do a “half circle” or whatever.

I have gone "how the hell does she not break her ankles in those heels? Or get her heel caught in stuff?!"

?! Define "super high". While you're at it define "classy".

My mental image of this is mixed up with pole dancing for some reason. I can see doing a half circle while holding on to a pole, but given there's still clothes involved there's no flashing going on. Actually the only reason I can think of to do a half circle is while getting out of a car in a skirt but (a) that's sitting not walking and (b) mostly that's a problem if you have people photographing or watching you. Perhsps she's confused.

It must be convenient to have men agreeing with your lifestyle choice. I mean, I have a career that centers around being friendly, but okay. I get it. There’s no way I can be friendly, feminine, cute, and have a master’s degree. Guess I’ll start picking out where I’ll die alone.

Oh, but this (admittedly non-scientific) poll of 14,500 men says...

@ViolaSebastian, excuse me while I go hurl up my breakfast. I gotta love the “fit” as code for “No fatties!!!11!1!” These a-holes couldn’t care less about a woman’s stamina or physical health (unless, of course, she’s “too sick to be fun”)—it’s all about being skinny and pretty enough so her physical appearance impresses their douchebag friends.

Oh, and that valuable master’s degree? They don’t want no broke chick. I bet there are tons of red-pillers who want a woman who “pulls her weight” financially, and who think that a SAHW/M is a deadbeat.

ETA my skinny blonde daughter is thin because of an anxiety disorder, and has to beat off unwanted male attention with a stick. All those jamokes who drool, “I bet you work out all the time!” at her are giving her code that really means “I bet you’re perfectly happy to starve and strain your body so my bros and I think you’re fuckworthy.”

That’s the ONE good thing about being fat. Douchebags like this completely ignore me to the point of almost invisibiliy. And I love it.
