re: Lip fillers and Botox.

I think it's interesting how our minds associate some of this stuff over time with being vapid and awful. At least for me.

I'm not talking about the extremes, but if I see an attractive excessively made up woman with fillers, etc. I don't go "whoa she's like instagram model hot" I immediately think "she looks insufferable."

And that's not some refusal to acknowledge that the hypothetical woman is hot in a vacuum, but it's so bad these days that it's impacted how your brain makes the associations.

Women don't do fillers and botox for us men...they do it for each other as if they are locked in a competition to see who can look the most ridiculous

Its like the interviews with some women who talk about how some guy should pay hundreds of dollars for a first date because they got their nails and hair "did". And spend a bunch of money on a dress and perfume.

When all that most guys want is for them to shower (not stink), wear clean clothes (that they already own), and comb their hair.

All that other stuff is for themselves or other women.

Aging gracefully > chasing youth

In appearance
In demeanor
In self respect
