And as far as aging goes, like I said, if you're out in the dating scene, how many guys look at older women when the pool of women much younger than them is such a draw? Is there anything wrong with a little tiny nip or tuck, or smoothing out a few wrinkles if it gives a person self confidence? Try to step in their shoes if you possibly can. Hollywood is not the real world and not what most people want.
These aren't great rhetorical questions as I think I answered something against your point on many of them. Of course, I cannot and would not want to force people but I think it is sad when people use cosmetic surgery, especially for minor blemishes.
Well I disagree with you. I re-read what you've written, and you're projecting your own aesthetic judgments on others. I don't disagree that the extremes, and hollywood culture is a bad influence on society as a whole. But my points don't relate to that very much.
