I'm gonna assume you are physically plain, "imperfect" or outright homely...

…why haven’t you gone ahead and had plastic surgery, breast enhancement, hair plugs, etc yet?

Because I hate people who judge others on their looks. I don’t give a flying shit about looks, my own or others.

Does not apply to me but among the reasons people might have:

  1. Insufficient funds for said surgery

  2. Being a poor risk for surgery

  3. Not wanting to go through the pain of surgery and recovery

  4. Having other priorities than conforming to your bias regarding appearances.

Don’t be so quick to assume. Me, I’m a plastic surgeon’s nightmare.

Because I lift weights instead.

Also, why don’t you just eat cake?

My inner beauty stands out.

At least, I think that’s why people stare at me on the subway.

And this is all assuming that plastic surgery and the like actually make people look more attractive.

Because I’m not trying to appeal to anyone but myself. And I think I look fine.

Have you done all of these things and exhausted all enhancements to achieve the higher level of “beauty”??

Dude, I’m the picture that people show to the plastic surgeon and say, “I want to look like this”.

ducking

This. I’ve seen too many people with plastic surgery that look worse (in my opinion).

I also tend to look down on people that have it and think of them as vain. But I make exceptions.

I remember there was a girl in my calculus class in college. Great personality, great figure, pretty face…except for her nose. I swear it was about twice as big as it should be. If that girl had her nose fixed, I would not blame her one bit. I hope she did.

Well, you know what they say about assuming.

It makes an ass of you and Ming.

I wouldn’t consider myself to be “physically plain, ‘imperfect’ or outright homely.” I’m reasonably attractive, though not necessarily by US majority culture’s standards.

I like how I look more than I like (1) medically unnecessary surgery; (2) outcomes of surgical “beautifying.” I’ve never worn makeup, had a perm or wave, or plucked my eyebrows, either.

I had the opportunity to re-breast myself after bilateral mastectomy. I never considered it. I don’t see any compelling reason to do so.

Why would I wanna mess with perfection?

I got respect and made friends for my achievements and politeness.
Of course beauty will instantly attract, but other things last longer.

So which of these have you had done?

B/c by the time I had money to consider it, I’d realized beauty standards are subjective and I don’t have to subject myself to them.

Why the fuck should I?
