We’ll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

    I’d be a head shorter and make myself a cutie lol

    I’d also want to get rid of my mental illnesses, and reset my weed tolerance. And, if possible, give myself an eye for art. I love to draw, but I sssuuucccckkkkk. And be smarter. Cause I have a severe case of the dumb.

    I also would ask to not be asexual since it seems like everyone else is having a good time and I wanna be involved lol

      Weed tolerance varies over time and isn’t something genetics couldn’t change. Overall sensitivity maybe, but not tolerance.

        Oh, I don’t think being Ace equals a bad time, but I don’t understand the concept of romance or sexual attraction on a personal level (I understand it in media). I feel like I’m missing out on that sort of stuff. But I’m otherwise happy with my cat 🙌🏾

        I’m also gross and I think if I can’t put out, no one is willing to hang out with me. I feel like if I at least put out I’d have something to offer

          personally i don’t understand it on a personal level, and i don’t find it appealing in media either, as its just an extension of that. And i prefer genuine human interactions to hee hee hoo hoo sex scene, look these characters are intimate and close, because more often than not, it’s just shitty writing unfortunately.

          I’m also gross and I think if I can’t put out, no one is willing to hang out with me. I feel like if I at least put out I’d have something to offer

          personally i just operate under a very specific pretense, and either inform people of it, or fuck with them because they aren’t expecting it. I have oddly specific and weird standards for a “prospective partner” so it’s not really something i think about or actively worry about, it’ll either happen or not, and i’ll be perfectly happy either way lol.

          friends are weird though. I like having acquaintances more than friends, i think. I’m not sure that’s related to being ace, or some flavored autism bit, or perhaps something spicier, but it’s definitely something. Friendships are hard bro.

      Assuming you are in a position to do so safely (given the mental illness stuff), stop smoking/vaping/eating weed for 3 to 6 months and I can almost guarantee your tolerance will reset.
