So remember I was asking questions about losing weight?

[url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1855505/0/So_I_want_to_lose_some_weight.html#]in case you forgot at all.[/url]

[url=http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/179340_497010266238_722506238_6247123_6741218_n.jpg]well i did it![/url]
or at least lost a bit of weight, or kind of toned my legs so they would look thinner and such.
it's only been about a month so i only really lost like 5 lbs, but i really like my weight right now and everything.
so thanks to everyone who suggested low-protein dieting and vitamins and everything that they did.
i stopped eating fast food and cut down a loooot on junk food, on food in general actually i suppose...
switched to eating breakfast and doing more cardio work and such.

so thx :]
that's all i wanted to say.

@phantom021 [url=http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/7669/p2070025.jpg]honestly all the pics i took when i went out that day were bending over[/url] since someone had asked to see what my leggings/shoes looked like
but seeing as i was wearing a wifebeater w/ liquid leggings and a houndstooth jacket they noticed lol
it depends what i'm wearing. if i'm wearing a vneck/sweater people don't tend to notice for some reason, but if it's something like that they totally notice
but people don't normally 'stare' and i've never met an employee that hadn't fallen in love with my personality/my look so i've never been treated rudely lol

@Urpleness: True, if you're weaker you're more likely to be picked on and get hurt. But danger comes in all forms and sizes, you can be a buff person and still get hurt. I've heard stories of Women brutally murdering their husbands who were WAAAYY bigger than they are. It's not always how strong you are, it's how fast, and how cunning you are. But it really all depends on the situation. And you just made yourself sound like a bit of a perv with the whole testosterone thing lol... but sure. And that guy doesn't look anorexic to me, but if that is considered anorexic for a male, then I guess I'm anorexic, I'm way skinnier than the guy in that picture, and I'm like 5'10" But that's also because I don't really find being buff to be 'attractive' at the most just having skinny abs is nice. But it's not like I starve myself or anything, I eat normally but I also have a high matabulism (However you spell that) so it's next to impossible for me to gain weight just from pigging out at a buffet. And I rarely hear stories of men dying from anorexia, or even being anorexic. I see plenty of guys that look just as skinny as the person in the picture you posted, and I never hear of them having bad health problems etc.

@Kaboom: oh sorry

Anyways I'm done here. Oh but before I go, [url=http://www.closeronline.co.uk/Assets/Image/080421_jeremythin_lead.jpg]This is what I call anorexic for a male.[/url]

@vans i'm 5'7''
@echoac welltyvm! and ya i do have manly arms/hands ahaha

[quote=Urpleness]I'm sorry to say but your completely messed in the head, you said before you only date straight guys because they accept you as a woman, but now your saying your not trying to impersonate a woman. I'm confused and you must think this world is some kind of sick twisted joke. If you find femininity so much why don't you just date a woman? You just like being the center of attention and I bet this is some kind of sick twisted turn on for you. And btw your not just ignorant for saying hes wrong because hes Palestinian, your a racist. I wonder what your parents think of you, have fun in hell.[/quote]

lol umm yeah
they accept me as a woman, i didn't say i was looking for them to accept me in that way. in fact i said they consider me one, not 'accept'
and it's probably because people like you are all over saying 'U GAY NAO' and the like and it makes people feel insecure about themselves, especially straight men who find me attractive.
i also find femininity beautiful, but masculinity attractive. my logic with his ethnicity is the same as his logic about the way i dress, and the same as yours.
you don't get to call me some 'sick twisted freak' and then claim i'm the one in the wrong, that's like kate moss lecturing me on cocaine
i treat people in the way they treat me, and i use the same logic on them that they use on me. if you don't like idiotic logic don't use it.

[quote=YouHelpMe]Lol. Image. That sure is a joke. So what kind of image are you aiming for? You look like a girl, if you aren't trying to look like a girl, please explain what type of image you're going for. Your eyeliner, your makeup, it was initially designed for females, not males. Yeah, you have a choice at using it, but if you're using it to look more masculin, it isn't working. You're obviously using those products to look more feminine[/quote]

if i was impersonating a woman, i'd have breasts and be doing quite a few different things than i am.
you seem to get the idea that i'm going around saying i'm a female in a serious manner or in denial or something when i've stated several hundred, if not thousand times
on basilmarket that yes, i am [i]a man[/i]. just because i want to look more feminine does not mean i want to look completely like a female.

to put it in the simplest manner, i want to have qualities that i find pretty in women, but i don't want to be a woman. i think it's beautiful, and it's a form of art to me.

it's art to me, makeup is. image and fashion, it's all art. i am a makeup artist, i went to school for it actually.
you'd be accurate in saying that i want things like... to have a woman's face, though i obvsly don't so you know plastic surgeryz, and i like 'female' clothing
but female clothing isn't really [i]female[/i] clothing, it's clothing assigned to women by society. i mock society and find femininity pretty.
the thing is, being a woman and having female tendencies are different things, and femininity [i]is[/i] female tendencies or qualities.
not to mention that female is more gender which isn't the same thing as sex.

@x7aMo0oDx bwahaha yeah i'm ignorant alright
@tambourine they are stretchy like leggings :o just think of leggings or tights like a ballerina wears or something, same concept.

[quote=Urpleness]Uhm I posted the url because someone said there was no differences between the male and female body, and I'm the ignorant one? You can live your life however you want but I'm just telling you its going to kick you in the ass eventually, I just don't think trying to be a girl is very realistic, even though I could see it being fun but even if I did try it I would be a les. Lol but that's just my opinion, like I said do whatever you want.

Well I guess your right about the first part. But personally I just like working out because I like feeling bigger than my woman, and you act like life is danger-free, there is crazy psycho's, ravage animals, and other situations in the world where it would be useful, and I'm sure women like the feeling of being with a big strong guy that can protect them. Not to mention being strong boosts your testosterone, which makes you hornier. Really I just like fully utilizing my gender. And you posted a picture of an anorexic FEMALE, here is what an anorexic male looks like. [url=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Lg_NzmRfxbM/Sf84XvdMJ3I/AAAAAAAAACI/S_V72Gc3dHo/s320/skinny.jpg]anorexia[/url][/quote]

what he meant, if you weren't attempting to take everything so literally, was that when it comes to basic appearance and the obvious, there's not much of a difference between males and females lmao

[quote=Tambourine]how do you get into those pants . . . ?
that's just ridiculous[/quote]

they're leggings.

[quote=br333]You look like Narcissus, but your name is all funky! ;__; what happened to the basil I know! Anyways, OT: You look too skinny dude. Don't go all anorexic. You can seriously damage your organs, bones, brain, all sorts of stuff. If you are sure you are being healthy and getting the right amount of calories a day, and have a healthy body fat percentage, than go you. Some people just look that way naturally. Just be sure not to go overboard ya know. Also, those pants aren't cool. Not cool at all. :o I like jeans much better. (everyone else was commenting on them, so I wanted to join the bandwagon)

Oh yeah, also your "not dating gay guys" comment confused me but i read on. You said they were bisexual. Dats cool. They might be just gay though. You never know. Some people date girls just because they are embarrassed and what not.[/quote]

my basilID narcissus was permanently bannned awhile ago
and my body weight percentage is below average for my height for both males and females, but it's not in like...a danger zone? if that makes sense
like i'm healthy but gaining weight would be even healthier if that makes sense.

[quote=x7aMo0oDx]@GiroMaster I'll say it for you...

There are two types of gays, the gay that doesn't act like all girly... that type of gays I have no problem with, and the type that of course acts like all girly like this dude/girl/freak or whatever you want to call him/her, I mean look... what the hell? he/she looks like Marilyn Manson, have you ever seen his/her videos on Youtube? I can't find one to show you because I don't remember his/her channel, but If you heard it with the way he/she looks like in real life you will wish that you have never went to the place where you met him/her unless of course you don't mind his/her kind around you... Having a gender change would be much better than the way you look now, at least we will be able to tell what kind of creature you are...

Note: Getting suspended for that... is so much worth it [/quote]

[quote=Urpleness]Because it is screwed up, why not just embrace the gender you have been given, guys should be strong not twigs, and why are you referencing the fact that girls make themselves skinny all the time, I don't approve of that either, I prefer a woman with a little meat on her bones, not too much though.

Anyways, OT you should just stay as a man, being a woman sucks anyways.[/quote]

You're acting like we're born with gender roles. True we are to an extent. But the ones you're talking about are forced onto people by society. It's not like when we're born Women are born with a 50s style home maker outfit, and Men are born wearing business suits. If someone wants to wear clothing that makes them feel good about themselves, who cares? Is it somehow affecting your life in a negative way? And I like how you say "guys should be strong" In a modern society there isn't much point in being a bulky body builder unless you're an athlete, a fighter, or maybe even a model. It's not like life is an RPG of some sort and you need to be strong And to the people/ @Kaboom: saying Damian is 'anorexic' thats not anorexic, [url=http://womensstudiesjmu.wikispaces.com/file/view/anorexic.jpg/70506695/anorexic.jpg]This is anorexic.[/url] Losing 5lbs isn't going to kill you.

@thingy97 well thx and thx to everyone who complimented me so nicely, i really appreciate it

though i feel like at this point in my dieting etc i should probably be trying to go for a more vegetarian lifestyle...might be hard, but i've researched it enough at this point to start and being able to research more of it later. though i'm not sure how much more weight i can healthily lose.

@youhelpme it'skay lol it was a misinterpretation on my part. anddd i don't know, i mean culturally speaking you'd have to be right in saying that they're at least bisexual, but different cultures like asian cultures and the like see it as still heterosexuality but as more of a subculture. all i knowz is, they buy me dinner/take me around as a girl and have never dated a girl who has...somethin' extra until me, and most times i end up breaking up with them or somethin'.
i'm not very promiscuous so it's not like i've had sex with them all or anything either, so for all i know some may have loved the concept but disliked the experience.

Yes, how horrible it is that someone is dressing, and making themselves look like a way they want, and makes them happy. This is just like totally affecting your life in a negative way. On a non sarcastic note: And why is it 'wrong' for a "guy to do this to himself"? Girls make themselves skinny as hell all the time, aside from having different .... sexual organs... there isn't much difference between a male, and female body. I know girls that a very tall, and have very large skeletons, bigger than most men. Does that mean they have no choice but to make themselves look manly and buff just because they have big bodies?
