Lauren Sanchez before and after. What is it with inflatable lips and sculpted cheeks and the inflated breasts? She looked like a nice, attractive woman before.

I dont mind single dad airing his views. It's a public talkboard. I've been accused of being a man on here on occasions 😅🤣

Your views and attitude explain why you’re single.

Fwiw I left an abusive relationship, had custody of my children, and was a single dad. Hence my interest in "mum" things.

I don't have sexist views and I'm no incel, but I really don't care what you think. I tried to engage politely, but you seem determined to have a pop. Fill yer boots.

OK she has married a billionaire, but it was a sad looking wedding, her dress was ridiculous- who puts that many buttons down the front of a wedding dress, their “guests” looked as though they had walked out of a plastic surgery convention via Temu and weren’t actually sure whose wedding they were attending, and the wedding invitation was something an eight year old would put together for a homework assignment. I hope the food at the reception was outstanding because otherwise I can’t see where they spent the money. It looked like a grimly joyless event and I am not sure why anyone would want to celebrate a wedding in such a weird way.

So it's all alright then....

Why would any of us judge either way? None of us are remotely impacted, she hasn’t stopped feeding her kids to afford a tweakment. Genuinely no idea why it matters

gotmyknickersinatwist · 01/07/2025 21:33

I do think it's sad, and indicative of something seriously wrong in some parts of human society, that some women want to look like cartoon sex dolls.

A lot of them develop that dead-behind-the-eyes-look.

fanmepls · 01/07/2025 21:32

I'm glad to see the real beauties like Kate Moss haven't felt the need to have any enhancements.

I love Kate Moss and think she is an amazing model but she is definitely getting at least some anti ageing tweaks. Granted she isn't going for a new face a la the Kardashians.

fanmepls · 01/07/2025 21:30

I think what is lost in the quest of "insta face" is the homogeneity makes its boring. Individuality is attractive and it's about how a whole face fits together. If you think of all the really good looking famous people they all have some imperfections but it balances out on the whole face. Full lips are attractive but there are attractive people with thin lips, and lip fillers can upset the harmony of your face and emphasise something with the nose or chin etc.

I saw someone advertise their beauty business on Facebook and every single woman she used had lip fillers. Not one had their natural lips.

So many women these days look the same. Just look at all the women who went to the Bezos/Sanchez wedding. The Kardashians are morphing into one another!

Then you have the likes of Katie Price who have gone to the extreme.

Yes they all look like clones or dolls. I'm glad to see the real beauties like Kate Moss haven't felt the need to have any enhancements.

So why call me out when that’s not what I was doing? Lots of women are doing it but I’m not.

DiggingHoles · 01/07/2025 21:18

Why do they do it?

I suspect a combination of too much time on social media, low self-esteem and an avalanche of public scrutiny. I feel sorry for her. I suspect that to many her life looks much more glamorous on the outside than it actually is to live it.

Grapewrath · 01/07/2025 21:16

It’s wild to me that women are so hateful about other women without looking a bit more closely at why women feel they have to be ageless and look a certain way
I couldn’t br arsed to scrutinise people that closely .

No, we’re not. I mean I’m a woman, but I’m not judging another woman on her looks. Women can look however the hell they want.

I dont see why men are not allowed to have an opinion on this. A man has said he doesn't find the inflatable doll look attractive and Lauren's inflatable boobs give a whole new meaning to Sillicon Valley.

Of course they’re allowed an opinion. The mistake is when they think that people care about that opinion.

Welcome to ‘call this out’ but we aren’t all judging her. That was my point. Op is judging and then felt that it was important to add that her husband was also judging her.
The post that you quoted wasn’t calling that person out for being male (everyone welcome imo). Many of us aren’t judging her at all. I think my original post was whatever floats your boat, she’s happy or similar.

Don't some of you think what Katie Price is doing to herself is all kinds of wrong? She looks like she's mutilating herself. Emaciated because of fat jabs, tattooed all over and numerous boob and face jobs.

Sooo wrong. She needs help

It's sad and also a bit grim that marrying a billionaire is seen as something to aspire to rather than immoral.

I posted the original comment asking for a photo of ops Dh. I did not say that I bet he’s no oil painting himself and that’s not what I was getting at. I asked so that we could judge him based on his looks as he is judging another person based on theirs. HTH.

Thanks for the explanation. My misunderstanding, but it was perhaps subsequent posters also wanting a photo that made me conclude what I did.
Thank you 😊

WOW. A man on a female based website telling a woman to fuck off because she called you out on your sexist views. And if you’re an actual woman, that’s even more unhinged to have that name. I suggest no one report the post so anyone that does an advanced search on this incel can see your appalling sexist behaviour. Is that you Andrew Tate?
