Fake your relationship

It sounds a little desperate, but this app make others believe that you're in a relationship.

The Invisible Boyfriend and The Invisible Girlfriend are both apps who let your boyfriend or girlfriend come alive.

How does it work? It's quite easy. You have to create an account for 21 euros. From the moment your virtual partner is born, you will receive a story about how you guys met each other. You will also receive a hundred text messages and a handwritten letter from your partner. And of course this app will send you (and your family) 'fake' selfies with your lover. 

What's going on with us? Why do we need a fake partner? The answer is maybe quite easy: perfection.

These days we want to create our 'perfect' life with 'perfect' friends and yes... our perfect partner. But unfortunately, in real life it can be very hard. We are a little bit afraid of others opinion, espescially our parents' opinion, and thereby we can't make choices directly. So if we're using this app, we're creating perfection in an easy way. Besides that, we retain our own life. So there are no real troubles or arguments, because of the fact your partner is unreal. Individualism will growing faster and faster.

I think this is just the beginning of creating our own life. We just have to wait a few more years before we go out for shopping our self-made characteristics. To be continued...

Gender identity

Transsexuality or transgenderism is becoming an increasingly discussed topic. But there is still some misunderstanding about this subject. The difference is that transsexual people are changing their gentials actually. On the otherhand transgenders has only the feelings of being a man or woman or something between in. They don't do operations.

In a new study researchers has found gender identity depends on how the brain networks is structured. The researchers found significant differences in the structure of the brain connections between male and female control participants. They also discovered that the transsexual participant's has other brain connections than male and female participants. Gender identity can also be identified by biological sex, sex hormones and sexual orientation, that means not only by pshycial appearances.

In my opinion transsexuality and transgenderism will be more acceptable by society if they know the facts about this subject. Fortunately, it's already become a more accepted thing, but I think most people have still no idea what transsexuality or transgenderism comes from. They judging only on physical appearances. So the results of the research should make it clearer for them.

#ThisGirlCan

#ThisGirlCan is a new campaign founded by British fitness organization Sport England. The campaign has been started to encourage women doing more health athletic activities.

Since the eighties we have been influenced by images of idealized and stylized women while doing their exercises. It's a consequence of virtualisation.

Research by Sport England found that 2 million fewer women between the age of 14 and 40 play sports than men do. The reason is women are afraid of judgement.

#ThisGirlCan will show the opposite of these idealized images. Women of all ages, weights and cultures should have the oppurtunity to do their exercises without feeling insecure. They becoming a power woman and own personality.

Watch the video below where women work out as beasts like men do.

What if age is just a mind-set?

Age has always been linked to specifical externals. For example: The older you are, the more lines you'll get. Our society decided we all have to look younger on photo's.

But what if age is just a mind-set? Then you will get this pictures below made by photographer Zachary Scott. In this serie Zachary made younger kids like seventy-year-old grannies.

It's clearly the opposite of what we normally want: the younger look. This can be linked to the trend: status. We are influenced by society. Every single photo has been photoshopped, model agencies are always looking for the youngest people, because they are rough. But why aren't we pretty with an older look? Because it's a society thing. Appearances and ages are going together. We can't see them seperated.

But listen... Scientists already predict that we're going to be immortal, so that means we don't have to identify us with our ages anymore, and there will be no longer a difference between younger and older.

Sounds quite unrealistic, isn't it?

Face shaving for women

Women shaving their faces is the new huge beauty trend! Sounds a little manly, but therewith it's very interesting.

Nowadays, we're living in an aging population. And this population will growing faster and faster. I think that's one of the facts why women are shaving their face: they wanna have a younger looking face.

But why do they chose specifically the razor-blade?

Men and women getting closer in the field of their appearances and features. We're talking about feminism. So when women are shaving their faces in the early morning, they feel a little bit stronger and more powerful. There will be equality between men and woman doing the same thing. Instead of women feeling shamed for shaving their faces, it would be described as self care if society accepts this new ritual.

I think in a couple of years women are getting the same habits as men to create an equality life.
