We all have them. What are yours?

The program that I am in has worn me down intellectually. I entered school thinking I knew it all and now that I have completed my first year, I realize I know nothing. LOL. This year was incredibly challenging for me and my confidence in my field consequently suffered. I have been battling insecurities; questioning if I am really cut out for this Phd program. I am going to stick it out. The faculty and staff have been incredibly supportive and tell me I am crazy for my insecurities, but this shit is no joke!

I am also insecure sometimes insecure about my legs. HA!

When I was younger I was really shy and serious. That's still the core of my personality, but I had this huge fear of people thinking I was boring. I slowly changed my personality and became way more outgoing and loud, and now I look back and I miss how I was lol. Now I rather be boring than annoying.

Physically I hate my feet! and stretchmarks grrrr



You can be whoever you want to be. Loud, quiet, boring, annoying. Its your life you. Your choice. There are no rules. Lol. 🙂

Oh hush about the stretch marks. Most woman have them... Its just the way it is. Lol.

They are too big. I am runner but I started spinning a few years ago. Spinning and squats have made them a little too big for my liking. I prefer long, lean, slender legs. Lol. But I am working on it... Lol.



Run run run! If you want more slender legs than run. Not sprints, run for distance.
BUTTTTTT there are a LOT of men who LOVE nice, full legs. I went with a guy who was waist down obsessed lol. He told me hips, legs, ass. If a woman didn't have one of those three things then it was a turn off. Um ok haha. That's all he wanted on me. One time he was like "I feel bad that everyone talks about your boobs and I don't pay attention to them" lol. um ok you're weird guy just keep it movin "everyone"?? Who's everyone...lol your friends? greeeeat.

Yup. I used to run about 6 miles a day. Then I started spinning when my schedule no longer allowed time for all that running. Lol. That's when my legs ballooned. Lol. I have been distance running the last few months, waiting for a change. Lol.

Yea.... I know plenty of men who prefer thick thighs, big butts. I have no problem with the but part. Lol. I like that too! Thats why I so the squats. Lol. It's just the legs I cant get down with. Men will get over it. Lol. They did before when my legs were a bit smaller.

I feel insecure when it comes to my successes. I know that I am smart and fully capable of completing further courses to better myself, but I sill question my abilities at the end of the day.

I feel insecure about my legs as well, haha. I have always had the kind of body that builds muscle real easily and it is apparent in my legs more than anything. I like my butt, its nice, haha but my legs are "bulky" to me. I just want long, lean legs too.

Hey, Natural25, I've had a lot of women tell me they're jealous of my "bulky" legs, so maybe we should just embrace it. We always want what we cant have, right? It's a bummer but its true!



I will embrace them... AFTER I try running for a bit. LOL. I am going to run anyway... So we will see what happens. It just might be the way I am built now. **Shrugs**

Awww there...there. Not all men can be the big man on campus. LOL. I guess its kinda like women and our stretch marks? Ha.


I think natural women are sexy. And stretchmarks and cellulites are as "natural" as they come 'cause most women have them. You see it all the time now that it's summer and the clothing is kept to a minimum, and it doesn't make me want to bite their asses any less. LOL

You guys are kind of young to have lost hope when it comes to finding your soul mates... lol



LOL. Despite being a pisces I'm not very watery. I'm not sold on the romantic soul mate concept. Some people were sent here to spread love. Others to be loved. I don't know where I fit in, but I've decided not to worry about it anymore. :-/ I want to travel, learn some new languages, and live life to the fullest. And I want to give back when I can, so I will make time to volunteer for good causes if I leave the social work field. These are my new goals.

I've been working on myself for sometime now.... Focusing on improving myself. Now, I am kinda... back in the mood for L.O.V.E.!!! Lol.

Yup natural is the key, sans my blonde dyed hair. Lol.

A woman who is confident in her natural state is always sexy.

It does create a certain euphoria. I have my moments but lately...let's just say I'm going through a selfish stage. A much needed selfish stage. To hell with Mr. Right, send me Dr. Feelgood. 😉 Haha. Just saying.....

Yea. I went through that phase all last summer and this year... Im slowly starting to transition back. When I started meeting members from the Chicago Bulls, I knew I needed to get somewhere and sit down before danger ensued. Lol.

Agree with Enfant. Stretch marked ass cheeks never made me not want to sink my teeth into. NEver saw a stretchmarked tytty that I didnt think wasn't suckable.

Gap teeth are cute too on some women.

Natural locs =yes. Natural everything yes



You like locs?!?! Im shocked.

Y? LOL

Idk... I just figured you are attracted to women that do not have the hair texture for locs. LOL.

I always wanted locs.. My hair is too thin and not the right texture



Have you tried back combing? I love having locs. So many styling options. 🙂 I bet you would be really cut with locs.

You have locs!?!? Nice! I thought about it when I went "natural" a year ago. But decided to just stay away from the flat iron for now. Baby steps....

I like SUT's equal opportunism, gotta agree..



Lately, I have been attracted to more non Black men. Los Angeles is somewhat segregated when it comes to dating. Well, as it pertains to who Black women date. But out here, its a different ball game. Although the people are ignorant as hell, there is a small pocket of White men here, St. Louis, and Chicago who LOVE Black women. Well, they love all women.

I met one guy during a lay over. I was exhausted, coming back from the inauguration. We were in Denver, both heading to St. Louis. He approached me and I did not understand why he was running his flapper trapper a mile a minute. As we started to talk and I began to wake up, I noticed he was a serious cutie on duty. Had a little nerd flair about himself. Found out he is an investment banker but break dances as a hobby. Niiiiice! Loved his style . We exchanged numbers, he took me out a few times, he started debating me about everything under then sun. Found out he is a Gemini. Case close.d LOL.

yes I started locing about 2 or 3 years ago. Before that I was natural for 10 years, so luckily I started with some length. When I first went natural though I only transitioned for a few months before I chopped my hair off. I thought my family was gonna stage an intervention LOL. I still remember my Dad face. He just shook his head. But I'm the Lisa Bonet of the family so no one raises an eye brow when I do some weird ish. LOL.

LOL. The entire natural thing is interesting. I never had a perm. When I decided to go natural, it was a decision to stop flat ironing my hair, only get it done once a year if that. Hence, my pic. Some people love my curly hair others prefer it straight. Lol. I have noticed that I attract a different type of man now too. Strange...

But I cant give up this dang dye!!!

I don't get people who get "fixes", what do they do whe their kids come out with the old noses? Yeah, I'm sure they'll believe when you say it's beautiful, when you yourself started from breathing in 80% of air to just 15% thanks to your nose job.

LOL... Those gems can be characters. I couldn't stand it if my partner constantly debate with me, ugh. Actually I've had that and it sucked balls lmao.

Yeah over here no one cares who dates who race-wise for the most part. My first bf was black and no one cared less 😛

Dating him was exhausting. Never again! It was unfortunate because he was so intelligent and sexy...

Okay watercup would you find it acceptable if the person had a ridiculously hideous nose?



You're too beautiful & don't need a any kind of fix, believe me. It's all in your mind lol. Unless maybe it looked like a camel's back, you know, had that lump in the middle that makes you look like a seasoned boxer- I don't see any of that with you. What if you get addicted to the stuff & end up looking terrible? Have you seen Lil' Kim & Wendy Williams' funny looking body? Wendy now resembles a number 7, too much boob.
