Where the culture stands right now, a lack of mods is far more rebellious than an abundance of them. My advice is don't even think about getting mods just to fit in - only get something if you really desire it for yourself.
There are some trends here that I find distressing - ridiculously excessive airbrushing and boob jobs prime among them. However, the fact that this place continues to attract intelligent, articulate young women such as yourself is an enticement I just can't resist.
I think you definitely have a unique and beautiful look, and you definitely are a intelligent, different, unique thinker, and seem a wee bit eccentric (in a good way) which makes you far more unique then someone covered in mods like me, that is pretty average underneath it all.
It's funny because by my standards SG is pretty tame aesthetically, which is funny because girls with out mods seem to feel left out and too tame, when I actually think they are much more likley to get a set up then a heavily modified girl that "alienates" some of the members with a more extreme, and less palatable look.
When members see someone like you, you are cute, pretty, nonthreatening aesthetically, but when you open your mouth it's cool, informative, and smart, that is generally appealing across the board no matter who you are xp.
Also there are guys that are committed and loving it's just really hard to find in a mess of manipulative and self serving ones. Im sorry for your bad luck though. Im a pretty bad judge of character myself when it comes to guys, its always hard to tell, especially once those messy emotion things get involved.
And for all that you have my RESPECT. I like to think of SG as a community of open-mindedness all coming together to respect everyone for their uniqueness and enjoy eachothers company.
Glad that we've returned!
I personally have mixed feelings about body mods. I love them, but I also think having none is very beautiful. I gave myself a rule. If I tattoo one shoulder, I leave the other one alone. That way I can see the beautiful skin and shape of one shoulder(pure as it was), while loving the artwork, etc on the other. I think I would be sad If I covered both. Anyway, your lack of body mods is great! And if you decided to get some, then thats great too
