Self-improvement through femininity

Yeah, I have enough challenges in life without adding hormonal imbalances.

Thanks, but I'll skip this one. I do have an awesome scrambled egg recipe I developed yesterday though.

I wonder if the quantities that humans consume (given that this includes beans , lentils and many other legume foods) have much effect though. For some communities lentils and beans are staple foods.   But it's great if you have noticed an effect.  Food can be really fascinating.  Thanks again Roswell for an interesting topic and giving me something else to think about today instead of C****a  V***s  you-know-what

A while back i was interested in foods that contain a kind of natural histamine as I thought it triggered my allergies.  I tried to sort out the quack articles from the proper scientific ones, I had a lot of reading to do, then got too busy with work and never did it. 

I suspect there are going to be quite a few people post-COVID who are going to be taking the attitude that their best career option is looking after their own life, rather than just remaining an easily discardable pawn of a worn-out economic doctrine. Perhaps an added benefit of that change might be that they will have more freedom and time to be a bit more flamboyantly themself, instead of just robotically going through the banal motions of what the system seems to desire of them. ;-)

I remember meeting this Scouse guy many years ago. He always wore this amazingly colorful Paisley jacket. It just put other people in a very positive frame of mind as soon as they met him; which also allowed him to have an extremely rosy outlook on life. So agreed really! As for me, there is quite a lot of flamboyance in my changeability.

That does happen but I'm more afraid of other men than women. I've been assaulted more times by men than women.

Ah, that's important to know! Thanks. I didn't know the full picture. Seems best to be cautious about it then if you're a female.

Get in touch with your feminine side. Make a soup/stew with tofu. Because it lowers testosterone - helping reduce aggression and tension

it's an interesting topic, particularly how it was discovered in the '40's and 50's on sheep. I read that it was discovered due to a drop in fertility of ewes. It decreased the fecundity (egg production fertility) because the phytoestrogens from clover mimicked estrogen, and therefore suppressed the sheep from producing enough of their own, due to the constant feedback regulation mechanisms of hormones.

So for males and post menopausal females that do not have the HCG feedback loop running it could increase the overall oestrogen levels, whereas for females it could result in suppression of own production. A bit like a natural contraceptive (warning: do not eat clover as a contraceptive unless you are a sheep, in which case please consult with the farmer).

That's fair enough. Do bear in mind though that most people respond positively to a touch of flamboyance. I think it's related to public relations and marketing. I was reading about a man who emigrated from Central Europe to America in the early 1900s and made a lot of money with a science magazine he produced. He managed to market it as something that would get studious, technical people prestige and a milieu to engage with. It had a lot to do with ham radio.

I will try to explain myself lol. Tofu activates estrogen in the body when it's eaten, which is more prominent in females than men, and also lowers testosterone, so makes men more calm.

Well it seems to help me! 

I notice there are fewer women on the spectrum who have lots of girly clothes and make up. Not sure why?

Soil is really good. There's been research that indicates it helps psychological wellbeing touching it.

Well, I'm certainly not against that, as I live in a part of the World where tofu is a much more integral part of the diet. And having fairly recently had a testosterone test (as recommended by a GP who thought it might be a contributing factor) I can say that I seem to be in the usual range. On the other hand, I think you might say that I like to be in touch with the 'side' of me that favors informality and a distinct lack of flamboyance. I'm not going to call that my masculine side, because I think it is too much of a stereotype that a huge number of people  have never really fully related to. I kind of like my own changeability anyway. I suppose I nominally look like a person who favors the masculine side, and I do actually enjoy a lot of that, but perhaps it might be better to say that I favor my mechanic side.

Confused how tofu and stew is feminine lol. Please explain.

Make up, girly clothes, etc stress me out tbh. Give me soil and plants to chill me out. Everyones different  and has different ways to relax. 

I'm guessing the above help you? That's good especially right now :)
