Damn, for me it was in elementary school. And we just went in a back room in the gymnasium with the nurse (seems like a perfect opportunity to be taken advantage of) but I got to skip it since I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was like 4 so there was no need to check.
Interesting! For us it was up through middle school, but done one at a time in the nurse’s office (much like eye and ear tests). I think it just involved pulling your shirt up your back?
Rather opposite your experience, I got checked and cleared annually for like 7 years… then diagnosed with serious scoliosis it was too late to fix at 16.
It wasn't that bad. We did it in the gym, but they had the screening area blocked off and it was over pretty quickly, less than a minute for each kid. Plus, we didn't have to do PE that day. I know at least one girl in my class did have scoliosis and needed to wear a brace.
It reminds me of when Scott Thompson had to pretend to be straight in the movie Run Ronnie Run and he hits on some women by telling them “you have excellent posture.”
I’m not sure… I read that as a “kids these days” remark where it was “30 and younger”.
So perhaps at age 31 the spine abruptly snaps into place to provide the firm backbone we all associate with middle-aged writers doing alarmingly sexist pieces about models?
How would you( anyone might answer, but please keep it SFW) feel if a stranger compliments on your looks, or aesthetics?
( Please don’t mind, and not being serious too…)
I could not respond at that time( felt your response to be a bit emotional, too, sorry, please don’t mind), but I feel the same. There’s no reason of you to think like you’re not attractive, and the way you might have talked for yourself from a third person view, it made me feel wrong.
Apologies if you found it rude, but thanks for your response. It was needed.
You'd need a protractor to measure the curve, although a theodolite might work. But it would probably be important to express it as percentage of the height of the back, for which you'd need calipers.
In fairness, there are definitely wrong answers for shoulder angle.
For example, an angle of 270 degrees suggests that you are not in fact dealing with a Balenciaga model but a backwards-jointed cryptid (a la Manos, The Hands of Fate) and need to flee immediately.
At least, I’d like to imagine that’s what he meant.
Dear u/everythingislitty, the readers agree, this man has written a woman badly!
Not to mention the misspelling of gazelle "Very talented gizelle" lol
I thought he was referring to another person because it couldn’t be a such a basic misspelling. But no.
Oooh, good catch!!
Gizelle is very talented, but it's spelled Giselle, and she's from aespa. Not sure what she has to do with a scoliosis free back though /j
A beautiful, beautiful gazelle person.
I’m thinking of the pop singer in zootopia now lol
“entirely free of scoliosis”
Dude’s running around measuring women’s backs with calipers?
Just like middle school gym class!
Did she have to take off her shirt like we did?
Wait, what? Your PE class made you take off your shirts in middle school? That seems kinda fucked.

Oops.

Yeah, it is. It was in the respective locker rooms and we had to hold our shirts on our chests but yeah...
Really fucked up. I'm sure they're not doing that the same way. At least I hope

You would be surprised how many people actually have scoliosis (mild counts) and didn’t know until an X-ray.
As a girl with scoliosis that hurt me a little 🥲
man it’s just so hard to find a girl under 30 without (checks notes) scoliosis these days
The day I turned 30, my body just started deteriorating. Spine first, of course.
33 now and this is basically my doppelganger

Yeah, what the fuck.
We should start blaming feminism for that
I don't know about you, but the first thing I look for in a woman is clearly her shoulder angles. That's very important. Clearly.
Oh! I shall take some notes… yes, it is really important.
What are the optimal measurements and requirements of shoulders in men and women( not asking you, but the OOP): **?
Distance between shoulders in nanometers precise to 15 (decimal) digits
Oh oh, and are they rough or smooth?
Should the skin cells be anucleate, or as lively as a drunk person?
Oily or dry?
Strong & toned or bouncy and soft?
Plain or tattoos?
Bony/skinny, fat, or muscular?
Um… am I missing something? Oh, yes… shall it be more human-like or angelic
Would like to know the answers…
BTW, what are tools for measurement? * Protractor * Ruler * Theodolite * Caliper
Electron microscope?
Should work.

As someone who knows he's not attractive... astonishment at any compliments, annoyance otherwise.

It's true. It's probably typical for people on the autistic spectrum. You get used to it.
INFP/INTP( by any chance)?
You may ignore this message.
No idea, I never bothered figuring it out. Probably INTP, all my friend is 😉
OK, take care.🦋

I hate that the write made me think about that.

what the fuck did I just read
"shoulders jut out at the most alluring angles" looks like a sentence written about a non-human being
I'm imagining XT-489 Eliminators.
Aw yeah, no scoliosis in THAT lower back, knowwhumsayin?
Ewwwww
As a 31F with scoliosis, I'm offended.
But what about her boobs? Huh? Enquiring readers want to know.
"I didn't mention her boobs, so I'm definitely not ending up on Reddit!"
Yeah, he thought he was safe. Silly mortal.
First of all, leave Vanessa Kirby's name out of your mouth. Second of all, what is this crap being published 😭
What in the everliving AI-slop… at least I “hope” it’s AI-slop… I guess? This is so dehumanising.
