To wonder what’s going on with all the big lips

[Laurendelaney1987]

Everywhere I go I see women with massive lips. It looks like so many women are wearing lip fillers.

i totally get that if you’re someone with really thin lips then you may want to plump them up, but I see this look on lots of women from their 20s to 60s.

It’s a 14 year old child.

Boy or girl?

But dc have completely different lips to adults 😆

I completely agree!

A girl. Why? What difference does that make?

There is bias in your career though, as you work in the beauty industry. You see women who go to beauticians because they are preoccupied with beauty. Maybe many of them are jealous - for the latter reason.

I am in my 50s and have probably had beauty treatments less than 10 times in my whole life. I expect this applies to some of the others speaking up; you have little exposure to our views. Don't get me wrong - I like to look good but I am not preoccupied by this and am moved much more by brains, personality, and sexiness, which, by the way, has nothing to do with looks. I can categorically say that I am not jealous or threatened by these women at all. 'Threatened' is fucking laughable! If anything they give me more confidence. I guess some of the men I'd be interested in might be swayed by an artificial look, but my contempt for their shallowness would quickly overcome any regrets I might have.

I am speaking out about this because in an insidious way it suggests a sexualised raison d'etre for women. I don't think that is a good thing for young girls to be influenced by; it's misogynistic.

🤣

Because - and I don’t mean to be rude - but the face looks to me a lot older - more fleshy - than a young teenage girl. It looked like a mature woman, but I thought when you revealed the age that it might possibly be a boy - something about the cheeks, chin and upper lip.Hard to explain!

I have plenty of confidence and self worth. But that doesn’t stop change the fact that I’m short and fat (and don’t fit to modern beauty standards)

But what I am trying to get the point of is I don’t give a sh*te what you look like, so why do you care if I have filler in my lips or face? I’m not trying to influence anyone’s children, how your children look at myself or anyone with filler is none of our business. Why do you have opinions on other people’s looks is the main concern and the fact a thread has been made about it. I find It very bitchy and nasty in all honesty.

How would big lips affect your intelligence? Very confused at this strange comment

I don't think you're very confused at all.

But in the event that you are of limited imagination or understanding, the suggestion is that its a relationship of correlation rather than causation.

I have naturally full lips- lots of people ask if I have filler.
I like the big/filled look personally but I don’t really care what other people do with their own faces. Most filler is so subtle you wouldn’t notice.

Absolutely not. I find thinner lips much more attractive. The whole lips, botox, fillers, false eyelashes thing seems to make everyone look the same.

It wouldn't, the low iq would be there before and getting giant lips is just a manifestation of it.

It’s another way to get women to part with their cash and who knows, maybe their health! It’s a scam!

Oh bless. I take it they didn't teach the difference between correlation and causation on your beauty therapy course?

No, it's not bitchiness or nastiness. It's just observation. Human beings evolved with excellent eye sight, infact it's considered one of our evolutionary strengths. And we are adapted to make surprisingly accurate judgements and observations based purely on visuals.

Societal stereotypes exist for a reason and it's because, by and large, they're pretty accurate.

Have you ever even bothered to think along these lines before?
