But women who get implants are not responding to society's view that bigger boobs are more attractive -- apparently those women are just in the sex business or are lower class.
In both cases, women are doing something to make themselves feel more attractive. And both procedures come with serious risks. To say that one is ok, and the other is trashy is ridiculous.

I didnt opine as to whether Botox is ok or not. I was going off on a tangent about how society is dictating people to do unnatural stuff, which is the same as fake tits. I said the difference is whether you call these women old hags. (well I think I said the difference is what you call tehse older women). I have said IRL , shit I am getting old, I need botox. and anything else i have said to you irl should not be discussed here for whatever reason but i didnt say here that botox is ok. i have offered no opinion whatsoever on botox. and i also did not say whether botox was the province of the lower classes, which I do not believe it is. but i will differentiated botox from fake tits in a couple of ways. One, botox is not so much about being sexy as it is about not looking old. you might take it the next step and say being young is about being sexy. but i might not agree with that statement and getting botox isnt mean I am gonna put on a more revealing bikini or whatnot. I will also say that botox does not involve risky anesthesia, and multiple operations. i have yet to see major lawsuits over botox threatending someone's life and it doesnt require lying in bed and putting your life on hold for a few weeks to recover from it. but are they both exercises in vanity? yes. one is just a far more drastic and severe exercise. I would never want my mom to get implants bc I would fear for her during the surgery and afterwards and I would think she sould use the money in far better ways. But my mom is someone who does not even buy expensive wrinkle creams at counters. she would rather take her cash and go traveling. but thats a tangent, and neither here nor there and not relevant to antying except to say that I come form a family where peopel are just not as concerned about that kind of stuff. I wish more people in the world were like that. bc then I would not wonder about the pros and cons of injecting pig poison near my brain on down days.
