    Default Become' Plastic' or Maintain a More Natural Image?

    A friend of mine has me worried a little about her well being , and I wanted to get everyone's opinion here...She has the option of getting several plastic surgeries bc of a well-to-do bf...If she sees it necessary she can get her boobs done, lipo, injections, a nose job, veneers, etc...We are talking 1000s of dollars worth of work here....I have urged her that its more attractive to maintain more of a natural image with flaws and all..I mean nothing about her is that terrible that she really needs any of that..No overly crooked teeth, no overabundance of cellulite etc..

    I know in this day and age that everyone wants to fix their flaws...But the overly 'fake' appearance is not attractive imho...What do u all think...If we all had the option to afford to fix all our flaws, would you?...Or would you appreciate that flaws make us special and all diff, unique individuals? The truth is is that no matter how hot u think u r, the entire room is not going to agree..Beauty is def in the eye of the beholder, and in life we should spend our time and energy on the people who appreciate us for whats on the inside and focus on those people. WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO APPEAL TO ALL THE MEN ON THE PLANET, IT JUST ISNT REALISTIC. Maybe we should all spend more time cultivating who we are inside and less time trying to' fix' every outward aspect. Sometimes its prolly a complete waste of money bc no matter how u alter the outside u will still feel the same on the inside when it really comes down to it.. What do you all think?

    In my opinion, it depends WHY she would be getting these treatments. If she were getting them to please said boyfriends opinion of the ideal woman, or to appear more attractive to him, no, I think that is unwise. He wont be around forever, and you never want to do something for someone, then wish you could change back when they are gone.
    If however this is something she is doing because she wishes to alter these features on herself to appear and feel more attractive and confident in herself, THEN I say go for it. ESPECIALLY when someone else is paying, haha.
    People change their image all the time to feel more satisfied in themselves, and it is not always conventionally beautiful/attractive/ but sometimes it is. I have huge respect for anyone that can look in the mirror and say "I am beautiful to myself, even if to no one else." Whether that be naturally or by altering their appearance.
    Best example I can think of is Maria Cristerna, better known as the vampire lady. Whilst not conventionally beautiful, her years of modifications have made her happier and more complete in who she is, and helped her deal with her past. This women is truly beautiful to me for this reason.

    If something on the outside does not help or change what you feel on the inside, then yes, I agree it is pointless. But I just had my boobs done, and I already feel changes on the inside, starting to reflect what is on the outside. So it can work in both ways, I think.
    Best rule of life I can think of?
    Always do it for you. (applies to just about everything really)

    Um yea I def would and I did lol. I got everything on her fixer upper list and I'm soooo happy I did. I look and feel much better. I think the key to getting surgery is to do it in a natural way. Ask for natural looking enhancements. And use the best drs no matter the cost.

    As for ur friends situation u should support her no matter her decision. If she wants it great she's a very lucky girl to be able to have someone pay for whatever her heart desires. If not its also great, it should make no difference to you. Ps doesn't change who you are as a person.

    ^Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree by asking everyone on SW, bc all of us here can be a little looks obsessed....For me personally I hate the attention I get at times from being fixed up w lots of makeup on and done up nicely...When it comes to me personally, I dont always like the nasty looks from the females who see their bfs looking at me while they insist at glaring at me...I am surely not the hottest thing around but oftentimes I def dont want to look really pretty while everyone else in the room is average...

    I think people can get a little too big headed when they get a crapload of plastic surgeries...I mean if u r hideous maybe itd make since but for vanity and perfectionism..Nah I just cant agree..I wouldnt want people to say "Oh. ur teeth or so straight and white, wow they r amazing." I wouldnt welcome all the attention for whats on the outside. Id rather be apprecaited for whats on the inside..But thats just me and prolly isnt alot of other people out there..

    I have not. I know there are girls out there who are like this but they were probably always crappy people deep down to begin with. If you're scared your friend is going to change, dont be. You are friends because she is a good person.

    Also the teeth comment probably doesn't relate to anyone, not just strippers. Why wouldn't someone want perfect teeth?! To each their own I suppose.

    True, but unfortunately in life what's on the outside is what is often taken at face value first, and being nice to look at on the outside can take you a long way and afford you a lot of perks in life. Not saying it's right, just saying it IS.

    While it's lovely to think about a world where everyone appreciates the beautiful souls that people have on the inside, and appearance on the outside it not as relevant, unfortunately, by nature we are driven to attraction and certain behaviors by what we see. Not saying we all like the same things, diversity is what makes the world what it is, but as such, your friend has a perceived notion of what will make her attractive, and is striving to achieve that.

    But who am I to talk. I like people's personalities and that is part of a package I seek when acquiring friendship/relationships, and it is make or break for forming a friendship, but I am also incredibly fussy about looks, and will gravitate to the people I find hot at the same time. My looks standards in a girlfriend are crazy high, and my standards in a guy are not that much more relaxed. These days if a guy were more than a few kilos overweight, that would be a deal breaker unless he lost the weight and came back to me. If he was too short, too skinny or had a small cock, same deal. If he was insecure, same deal. But he can't be prettier than me either. Haha, I'm fussy. Lucky I got a good man who fits all of my needs. I constantly meet new guys and think na, even if I were single you wouldn't be enough for me.

    I like going out with a bunch of hot bitches and partying our nuts off, and I find girls that are secure in their appearances tend to be less reserved and more on my level.

    Yeah. I'm looks obsessed. Damn proud of it, too.

    If I could afford it from ak excellent surgeon I would do it.

    I've already had my boobs done and have pretty close to
    Perfect teeth. Would live to have my nose done and a few other things as well.

    I love the attention I get being done up. I love being glared at by jealous girlfriends. especially when they find out I'm pretty educated and smart too. Hehe

    If your friend wants to do it and she doesn't have to pay for it id say do it. And I agree you're getting a very biased sample on here

    Since the beggining of time, women have used their looks to obtain the resources of men. People are trying to change that, but i don't believe it will ever be equal. My theory is if you can't beat them, join them.

    I see your friend's plastic surgery as an investment. Her current BF may be wealthy, but whose to say that he will be with her forever? When the guys leaves, her new looks will help her land maybe another wealthy man. I say use your looks while you can, get educated in the process, and start a business with the money you made off your looks when you are older. I myself have a complicated maxiofacial problem and need jaw surgery and can't afford it. I have no money shame. I am willing to go through alot to earn money to help my health condition. If I were in your friend's shoes I'd grab that oppurtunity. I would possibly forgoe the boob job, as that always screams "plastic!" and if your friend is a B+ in cup size I think most guys find that is enough. The nose job I would definitely get. If done well enough it can look beautiful and natural. Get intubated and make sure an anesthesiologist in in the room. Safety is number one.

    After all, women are seen as golddiggers, but men have been beautydiggers for even longer!!

    Im thinking if someone else is paying... get on that shit asap.... Of course you dont wanna look like a freak but hells yes. I think I still look fairly natural and if someone else was paying Id get more work. You can get work done but in a natural way easy.

    natural versus 'Plastic Barbie' seems to be a regional thing. Personally speaking, 'Plastic' is fantastic !

    ^Because u all were seeing things from a little bit of a multi-angled perspective, I do understand ur opinions...And the one poster who said that she agreed that here on SW we are all looks obsessed is correct of course-so id get a biased opinion unfortunately...I do realize that in an ideal world people would appreciate whats on the inside more than whats on the outside, but sadly this is a shallow world.. And as melonie said, the want of men to see a plastic look is regional..but not really suitable for this region....

    I was simply hoping someone on SW would express a less is better approach to plastic surgery..But sadly I am not seeing that on my thread... Thank u all for giving me ur honest opinions though, cant ask for more than that.

    The way I kinda view myself if I were to get multiple surgeries is that if I need plastic surgery to improve upon my looks to the extent of getting 4, 5 ,6 7 diff cosmetic procedures--who would I be looking at when its all said and done??A whole diff person...ANd where would the old me, the one Ive known for so many years go?? The person whos been to hell and back....Do I really need to be super attractive to feel better about myself?....Id worry that I would become a vain, shallow, horrible bitch of a person....Ive seen girls at work who r a few years younger of me who get so big headed that all there is a shell of a person...A person whos so damn stuck on herself that I cant have a conversation with her bc every sentence is her her her... Those types repulse me..But thats just me...I mean I think alot of myself but I can come down off my pedestal and be real with people and be a caring soul when I see someone deserves that side of me...

    But my friend, man..I really hope she doesnt become some shallow bitch I cant stand to be around if she gets all that crap done...Just bc she has better teeth or less cellulite that doesnt make her better than others...I like her for her big heart, I hope it doesnt become hardened or overrun with ego..

    Demi Moore is a perfect example of someone who had lots of surgeries who looks great & natural. A refreshed version of herself.

    I say if your friend really wants it and will boost her confidence, let her go for it. What ever makes her happy.

    I think Demi Moore is "trying too hard" to remain younger than she is..Its great to take care of urself as u age but do u really need to spend millions to maintain some false since of reality?..If u r 47-50 (dont know her actual age) then maybe u should look somewhat ur age and try not to look 27 when ur 47...My opinion is n the minority..

    A combination of good genes & a healthy life style plays a role too. ^

    My point was if PS done right, it wont look "plastic". ;-)

    Re: your friends list, the only thing I would, if I were her friend, heartily caution her about would be lipo. I know many women on here have had good experiences with lipo, but I imagine they still have active lifestyles. From what I understand, if you get lipo and then go back to an unhealthy lifestyle, you will end up looking quite bad.

    Beyond that, I say looks are just looks, so if you want to change them, do it. Plastic versus natural will always be up for debate.

    Yes, good genes def do help when ur 47 and maybe still look 40 bc uve taken care of urself and have great genetics..But thats not what Im saying so much as just thinking that too much plastic surgery to fight every little tinee tiny age related issue or possible physical flaw. The sad truth is that we are all gonna age we can try to take care of ourselves as best as we can be theres a little reality acceptance that needs to chime in..Embrace some of the lines accept that its just a natural part of life just a little...
