Although I agree some people take ‘tweakments’ to the extreme, having skimmed the thread, I’m seeing a lot of ‘coping’ going on.
By this I mean I suspect that the core issue a lot of PP have with these trends is that they synthetically emulate a wider more diverse group of natural ethnic attributes which are harder for many women to achieve in order to be seen as ‘sexy/desirable’ by a lot of men.
Up until relatively recently in the UK, the standard for desirability was blond, thin celebrities. Although the vast majority of women hadn’t a hope in hell of looking like famous blond thin women, they could get away with buying a bottle of bleach and a pack of fags to stay thin, safe in the knowledge that many blokes wouldn’t be that fussed about features and body.
However, there’s now more exposure to diverse women and thus there’s been a push towards the more racially/ethnically ambiguous look e.g Kim Kardashian who has the curves of a black or Latina woman, tanned skin tone of a Middle Easterner, long straight hair of an Asian, plump lips etc etc.
Just eating celery and sitting under foils at the hairdresser is no longer enough to attract many men. They are looking at the entire package and that package occurs very rarely and is expensive to buy and get right.
Again I do believe some women have gone to extremes, or paid for shoddy work. However, I don’t think all PPs are genuine in their concern for these women. I think many are more angry that even if they did their best, their look is no longer the standard desired look - standard white British face and body with bonus blond hair and thin, which was achievable for many. This new ‘cherrypicking’ of all ethnicities of women is far harder.
