wrinkles, botox , get a life

[DE-ANNE]

is it better to grow older naturally or have a little botox to help along the way?? do men really notice if you have a little celulite on your rear and do they really care. are the lines on your face really so unattractive now they are no longer called character lines...how much does any of this really matter? mags. are continually after your cash for beauty treatments. surely there is more to lfe, love and happiness than a crease free face???

The short answer is - it doesn't matter at all except ...

to the individual concerned.

It's all about self-perception - not what you look like, but what YOU THINK other people think you look like.

To any right-thinking mature individual, a few wrinkles, a bit of additional weight on the hips, grey hair, and all, make no difference to a woman's attractiveness, but the important thing is how that woman fels when she looks in a mirror. If she is comfortable in her own skin, she won;t mind getting older, and showing the signs. However, almost all woman like to make the best of what they have - hence hair dyes, make-up, nice clothes and so on, and botox / plastic surgery is simply a more extreme reaction to the notion of low self-image.

The same applies to men and baldness - most bald men would wish for hair, most women attracted to them find it a matter of no consequence, or even a positive plus!

It's down to how you feel. And on the basis of a multi-million pound cosmetic surgery industry, a lot of people don't feel that wonderful.

On the lines of andy, botox, treatments, surgery ect are all down to your perception of yourself and your perception of how the public view you physically.

Im not a man but I have found that men prefer women who feel sexy and confident about themselves as opposed to a woman who is uptight and self conscious. there is more to attraction than physical appearance, its a package.

look at all the more mature stars who are considered sex symbols, their natural confidence and experience can be very attractive as well as looking good

Men are pretty insecure too. I'm sure being with a goddess is enough to have him reaching for the valium for fear of her being nabbed by someone else or being too good for him (in his head).

Personally, I've never met a man who knows what the hell cellulite is - point it out to them next time you see a magazine pointing out the dimples in Charlotte Church's bum and he'll stare and just go "phwoar!"

Most men are just glad to get naked with a woman that a bit of dimpling is the last thing on his mind (more likely to be "Am I big enough? Will I last more than five minutes? Is she comparing me to her last boyfriend?")

I personally intend to grow old disgracefully and at the first sign of everything heading south I'm gonna go for botox. Each to their own, I guess. I know my boyf wouldn't notice the difference in the slightest, but, hey, if it makes me feel better, what the hell!

Well I would say that it all depends on your what your priorities are. It would be hypocritical to say that it doesn't matter what others think of your looks because the truth is our perception of beauty is rooted in our society and from the people around us. If having a wrinkle-free skin really means that much to you and you have the means to afford it, then do so! As for me, I had botox in Sydney from this clinic called Heber Davis and I really loved what I looked like after having them. Sure there were negative reactions from some people that I know, but because I feel better about how I looked like after having botox, I became more confident in myself. All in all, I think it was all worth it :)
