Shows like 'Extreme Makeover' and 'The Swan'

>You really believe that men are as insecure as women?

I didn't say that. I said the opposite. Women are the ones who are insecure. Guys can be big and fat and still be cool and look tough. Look at bikers.

OK I'm a grammar idiot.

I meant to type:

You really believe that men aren't as insecure as women?

I don't think anything is wrong w/ it if it's because they have a obscenely oversized nose etc. But if it's just 'cause society thinks they're ugly then it's silly. God gave you what you get. Everyone isn't 100% satisfied with themselves however you learn to accept it. I know that for me personally, I'm happy with what God & my parents gave me...I have many flaws, as we all do, but I'm not going to get all drastic & go through plastic surgery to change that. No way. I'm happy with me & no matter what society says, I ain't changin' a thing!

Plastic surgery is just another tool to improve oneself physically just like dieting and exercising. To YOU it may be drastic, but to someone else undergoing the procedure(s) it is not b/c in the end it is well worth it. Do you dye your hair? Do you use fake nails? Have you whitened your teeth? etc etc etc Regardless if these are "drastic" means or not, ultimately they all do the same thing.... that is, they all change the way you look physically. God gave/will give you gray hair, are you going to dye your hair to mask it??

It is fine that you are happy with yourself. To each their own. But for you to call what others do "silly" is unfair and idiotic. Someone else may perceive the fact that you run on a treadmill for 40 min 3 times a week idiotic. Someone else may think that you lifting an object of certain weight repetitively over and over every single week silly. It's all about perception, and yours is flawed.

If you had the means you would change something about yourself in a heartbeat who the hell are you kidding. The fact that these people come out of these makeover surgeries looking a shitload better is well worth it and certainly NOT silly. I think a lot of haters are envious and jealous they can't go through such improving makeovers themselves.

I agree about the plastic surgery part -- it is a tool to improve oneself and if you can afford it, then why not get it? If you are willing to pay for supplements, tanning, etc then how is plastic surgery different?

What I don't like about the makeover shows that have cosmetic plastic surgery is that they make it look so easy. It's not easy. They gloss over how hard it is to come out of anesthesia, and how much it can hurt in the middle of the night when your pain meds are just out of reach and you can't move, etc. Recovery from lipo is tough and very difficult and can be worth it for some people. However if you have a picture in your mind of what you want to look like after something like PS and that's not how you end up, then you'll be dissatisfied.

Society has become unrealistic about how people, women should look and act and in general, most people are accustomed to those expectations, and some can then become dissatisfied with what they have......

Sadly, that`s when the lawsuits start.

no one gets this done because they think it will please other people...

they get it to pelase themselves, but sadly they never do, because uglyness is on the inside.

you see, if your a bad person, god makes you ugly,(thats also why people are mean to you) and no plastic surgery can fix whats on the inside, causing the outside to be bad.
