I'm ok with enhancing or showcasing your natural beauty, but it seems wrong to artificially create it.

Women are only shallow and fake shells. Might as well reflect it on the outside for the whole world to see.
A large majority of them. (my age anyways)

way to go profound... LOL um....

hmm.. shallow and fake shells... what do you mean by "reflect it on the outside" for the world to see...

reflect as in expose?

either-way,,

I don't think they're any more shallow than we men are.. The difference is in their life function. Their job is to make babies and take care of them at home...
Our jobs are NOT any more/less difficult, but are seemingly more colorful, because we go out by ANY means necessary to bring home food....
So there exists a large spread in terms of how this is accomplished,, --vs women,, who can really only raise and make babies,, that ONE maybe TWO ways..

Notice women don't have hobbies.. there's a reason for that.. time constraint due to the imminent baby.

Among the suburban couples today that choose not to have kids, you usually see the woman of the pair do much more exciting things than your mothers / potential mothers. I live next to one of these couples, she goes skydiving, and plays sports, drives sporty cars "they have 5 cars" 2 people (all from 25-60k) so not expensive cars but lots of um'.

Have you shared your thoughts about women's roles with real live women?

The issue really never comes up when I'm with a female. I'm usually just you know,, .... ing her.. and then whenever I actually talk to her, it's on the phone, and that's only to tell her that i'm coming over to .... her.

Meh, I don't care. Society changes their taste so frequently, it won't matter in the end. Everyone will be the "old" model.

I have yet to see good plastic surgery, except for people who were in horrible accidents

The point of REALLY good cosmetic surgery is you don't notice it.

That said, I'm generally against it for vanity reasons.

I think the media's idea of beauty is a disgusting shameful smear on humanity that causes more pain to people than it does pleasure. It is unfortunate that the example set for women and men for that matter is that of almost impossible obtainability and puts undue pressure on society as a whole to conform to some fabrication of what the 'ideal' image is.

The world as a whole would be a much better place without these black and white distinctions, coloring outside the lines is always more interesting and genuine.

I still believe the world would be a better place if there were more beautiful women, no matter how they achieve it.

How is it a smear.... what's the difference of buying nice cars for vanity,, and getting a face lift for vanity,, or working out for vanity,, or shaving your legs for vanity (non-athelete),, or eating fancy for vanity..

Are these All disgusting smears by your association??

Hm... you're right. Those pics are shopped though. I've seen quite a few shops in my life.

Just saying.... we're going in to k-pop under the assumption that they've had something done....

in her case, I'm guessing they do the thing where they cut up triangles on your head and stitch it up to pull specific sections of your cheeks up.. I thing this accounts for a majority of the problems when many of the k-pop stars loook good but just a little,, OFF.... and the hair hides the triangles.

is this a face lift? or is there another term..
