Shortcut to self distruction

I say do what you will, I can't tell anyone how to live or what to do, all I can do is advise! Now, I don't agree with enhancement unless it's natural. In natural I mean it happens without all of this madness invented to make money! They do have pills n things of that nature that's suppose to increase hormones or whatever, but I still don't trust it! I say if you aint got it, forget it, u probably wasn't suppose to get it! More than likely, we're enhanced in other places that suits us better! Taripre$

women undergo all this torture because they are women. Women have to look beautiful and men have to look rugged. to look beautiful they must either exercise or undergo the scalpel. Exercise is a daily torture so they prefer a one time tortur. ha ha ha. honestly I see no reason for all this. I as aman love a woman who is natural and is endowed with all her faults. She is human too. i do not need a goddess. i want a warm loving being.

I must agree with you. I've had surgery 13 times (including 3 C-sections) and each time was warned of the risks. These operations were to enhance or save my life so it's not something I've done by choice. Cosmetic surgery is often disastrous, face-lifts so tight you cant move your face or lips that look more like someone punched you in the mouth! so why take the risk of going under the knife for what could make you look far worse. I don't think my life would have been any better if I'd had bigger boobs or thicker lips and just by eating 'everything in moderation' and being as active as my health as allowed, I've kept my size 8 (UK) figure for over 40 years. OK the hair is grey and the face has a few wrinkles but dye and make-up can alter that if I so choose. Cosmetic surgery should be used to help people who really have problems, not to give some-one somebody else's idea of 'beauty'. People that really matter in your life love the whole package not just the covering on the box!

I think a lot of it has to do with the media. It also has to do with the obsession of being young. Again, I think the media has a lot to do with that as well. Especially where women are concerned. Add to that the fact that the competition for men is fierce, women are doing these things to compete. Men too. Most men want a beautiful woman. If a man isn't all that attractive, he can do something to improve his looks and improve his chances with more attractive women. People feel like they no longer have to settle or accept what they percieve to be imperfections. I just think about Dr. Donda West (Kanye West's mother). Even though she had been discouraged by a doctor about having cosmetic surgery, she found a doctor who would perform it on her anyway. This was a mature, well educated woman. But she evidentally was so unhappy with her body that she ignored the risks. There are things I dislike about my body, especially since I've had six children. But I'm willing to LIVE with those imperfections. I feel if I really want results, I'll stop being lazy and get into some bootcamp fitness program. Whatever that doesn't correct, so be it.
