To say that women look bloody weird ….

[GoingbackwardsForwards]

.. when the only part of their face that moves is their mouth and eyes.

And don’t get me started on the massive fish lips.

Never see any naturally beautiful young women on TV these days. Such a shame

Well if I’m being honest I think most threads are bizarre.

I haven’t used fish lips personally. You labelled people insecure etc for having an opinion on why young people feel pressure to inject themselves, go under the knife etc. It’s ok to discuss it.

This is so frustrating. What is 'better'? What are people seeing when they look at other people's faces? Why is a smooth, immobile face 'better' than one which shows personality, laughter, character. What is wrong with lines?

and yet here you are reading & contributing to them….

I agree with that poster. What is ironic exactly? Your OP is nasty tbh

There are ways of discussing it without being nasty. I agree with you actually, but the way OP thought she was being original and funny making fun of young women who feel pressured into undergoing cosmetic procedures is disgusting tbh

But it’s not “someone”. Is it? This op has gone after women specifically. Women judging each other again. She’s interested in evaluating the attractiveness of other women on tv and being comforted that they’re no threat because they’re “weird” and artificial.

Insecurity.

@OneWiseAmberOP I didn’t see anything disgusting. Fish lips may not be the nicest term but we all know what is means, not everyone with lip filler goes for that look.

I think it’s far more disgusting younger people are being put under this pressure, it’s expensive & potentially dangerous.

Where did I say you used ‘fish lips’ personally?

I’m referring to the OP. I’ll happily bash her personality for describing women as “bloody weird” looking with “fish lips” which she said in the original post. Using derogatory language about other people’s looks absolutely screams insecurity to me.

I get the message that the OP is trying to convey, but to use insults absolutely loses her any credibility for a normal discussion. She started a thread to goad, no questions about it.

So it is no one else's business that you fake your looks so you look a certain way you have decided for other people to see you as? so if it is no else's business why on earth do it? unless you stand in front a mirror all day staring at yourself the whole thing is for other people

I never said you did.

How would you prefer the OP to describe people with too much filler etc? I think some people do look weird, can we not acknowledge that?

I’m sorry you have taken it so personally @CherrieTomaties. Are you feeling insecure about the extensive work you have had done, I wonder?

My take isn’t that the OP thinks of themselves as an example of perfection. I think the point that @GoingbackwardsForwards was making was that we live in a society where there is significant pressure to look a certain way and the normalisation of procedures like Botox etc is worrying and damaging. Asking to see the poster’s face and suggesting that they themselves are unlikely perfect only reinforces the idea that women’s primary value lies in how they look. It also means a missed opportunity to have meaningful discussion about the trends we’re seeing in cosmetic procedures, particularly non-invasive ones.

Women are allowed to comment on the effects of plastic surgery, which often look unusual at best, with concern and even horror at the norms this promotes. This can be done without unpleasantness towards individual women while being an important observation about culture and society.

Whereas I am concerned about the potential harm that women, especially young women, are doing to themselves I do find that your later posts have taken on an unpleasant and goady tone.
Some posters have managed to express the concern, about societal pressures and unscrupulous practitioners helping to drive the uptake of procedures, without denigrating these women.

No prize but you’ve definitely validated the childish part.

Oh its really not extensive. You’re completely misguided if you think polynucleotides and masseter Botox (courtesy of the NHS) is “extensive work”.

No need to apologise though, it’s all good😘

Can I ask why you say “mind your business” rather than “mind your own business”. I had never heard “mind your business” until recently and thought it was just an Americanism

She’s had a facelift recently

Genuine question @CherrieTomaties - you are very young and I wonder if you are ever concerned that you’ll increasingly want more and more done?
I’ve lines in my face that I sometimes think would be so much better filled in and erased but my fear is that it would lead me down a rabbit hole! I’m also happy that my face can animate and would hate to lose that.
I have a casual friend that I suspected had work done years ago but it’s progressed over time until I barely recognise her now but can understand how this can happen.

Which will, by the way, be entirely noticeable.

How do you know?

Just noticed that @CherrieTomaties makes a habit of being spiteful and obnoxious on other threads too.

🤣🤣🤣 How very dare you!

Indeed full of sense..hear hear! Why are women so nasty to other women? Isn't life hard enough already? 🤷

I have shit loads of work, I couldn't care less what anyone says. I used to be fat, old and miserable and now Im skinny and successful and look how I want. First impressions are important and dont underestimate how, like the judgy harlots on here, drab, bitter women get snap judged at work and by strangers in shops just as commonly. Can I have extra points for having had surgery as well as injections..I defy most people to have blepheroplasy or neck surgery under local 😅
