Dana-doll,
I would just like to say I didn't use the "as women" saying, but I do think as HUMAN BEINGS we should have the decency to be nice and pleasant to others. I don't have self esteem issues, but some do, and they feel better from others complements-fact. And if it does bother you that they 'fish for complements' , can't you just ignore their posts? I do think that you should be able to post your opinions, but why not be diplomatic about it, not rude? I guess I don't see the point of "calling people out on BS", when you can just ignore it or say something nice about it. And, I didn't say once that people were "mean" for doing it.. I just don't think it is purposeful. And I don't think anything I said in my original post was mean or insulting to anyone, and I wasn't pointing out anyone person, so I don't really think the last sentence in your first post was even sensible. I agree girls can be annoying and rude, but really, what's the point when you can be nice? 👍

I never said you used the "woman" saying. Everything I wanted to address to you was addressed in my "Kari" point.
If someone has self esteem problems, they need to handle it in a healthy and mature way. If you're going to root for unhealthy ways to handle self esteem issues, cool, but I won't. Yes, I can ignore their posts, but it's honestly constant scrolling gets annoying, and you get fed up. I mean, aren't you calling people out right now when you can just ignore those unnecessary comments?

Well, I was was just stating that I didn't use the "as women" saying.. Sorry for making you think I was being rude in that aspect, it wasn't my intention, doll. Maybe something that someone says in of of the threads could help boost someone's self esteem permanently. I don't think it will always fix it, but it could make someone feel better. I'm not rooting for unhealthy ways to build self esteem, but being nice to people or ignoring their post could be two healthy ways to be a better person. I'm not calling people out in a rude way. I am just stating that I wish some people would be nicer in general. If you have a problem with the things I said, does it make you feel better to "call me out for it"? I just want people to be nice to others out of decency. Didn't you say that it was okay to post your opinion? So why are you so upset with me stating mine in a thread I made. I didn't come to a thread you made just to post a rebuttal, for the heck of it.

Once again, everyone is missing the point. For those of us whom have been on this site longer than a couple months, things have gone very downhill. It is one thing to ask for genuine advice, and quite another to post spam about edited photos or "am I pretty". This site used to be frequented by professionals in the beauty industry, and was an amazing source of shared knowledge. Now it is overrun by people fishing for compliments and posting redundant, useless threads. The professionals and other experienced users got tired of sifting through hundreds of frou-frou topics and left, and now it is difficult to get genuine help or to help people with genuine questions. It has nothing to do with this idea of "empowering" everybody, but rather a sense of increasing frustration as the insipid and narcissistic posts multiply and valuable contributions disappear.

Emily, I actually agree with most of what you said, but I do think that this site should be used for people-- not only professionals. I am an "experienced user" of Beautylish, and a licensed beauty industry professional, and I have not left, I love to answer and participate in the questions and threads that do have a point or meaning and people who want genuine advice, but some don't have a point, and guess what? Every now and then, I will also participate in those as well. But another point of this thread that I was trying to make, and clearly it did not come across, was that this site is open to the public, not just beauty professionals, and we are not going to change the constant threads of girls that post pictures of themselves to get a confidence boost or the "useless threads" that you mentioned. So while we can't change it, can we not all just be nice? It is going to continue. My main point is, there is no point in being hateful to anyone.

I really agree with Emily, but you also have a great point Kari.
