changing eye colour..

mr_fegelien

I heard one of my friends is saving thousands of euros and plans on going to Cost a Rica to change his eye colour with a laser. It burns off the pigment on people with brown eyes and leaves the blue part under everyones irises.

Seems dangerous but would you do it if you had the spare cash? It would compliment him to be fair as he's <snip> and you rarely see black people or even mixed people with blue eyes, but I don't think it's worth risking blindness.

Bizarre, what's wrong with contacts?

I imagine they're fake and not really "boast worthy". If you're black and have fake blue contacts people will think it's weird and tell you to stop wearing them.

If you have genuine blue eyes however people will think it's really bizzare and interesting.

Tell him to get his tackle chopped off over there as well be done with it.

Reviews and Books Galore

If he wants attention of wonen, tell him to go to central Europe. No eye change needed

This is it

The latest slew of scutter from the OP has tipped me over the edge and my self imposed "no-ignore" list rule has been broken.

It was a theory of mine that echo chambers are best avoided, and if I was to block or put people on ignore...
I am deliberately reinforcing only what I want to hear.

After a few weeks of the OP's scutter however, I'm honestly feeling brain cells die every time I see their name.
I wish someone would just wipe bleach on all the windows that the OP has access to.
Cos I'm fairly sure the problem would then solve itself if they did

On the positive side we learned a new word.

Just take some melange, problem solved.


Seriously save 50%* and go for heterochromia, it never goes out of style.

This isn't fair on people with blue eyes who want to spend thousands to change their eye colour.

I think I may have suggested this to you recently

See if you can find a dead road kill badger , cook and eat it.

At the very least you may be sectioned, battle out rabies / TB and spend a couple of weeks in hospital.

By the then the OP should have wandered off somewhere.

I'm more likely to get rabies by taking a bite out of the OP than I am a badger tho


I pulled the ignore trigger a while ago tho, and the IQ level on this thread has already jumped now that I don't see the OP or their "contributions" anymore

I am lucky enough to have central heterochromia. I can change my prominent eye colour by changing my top, or putting on eye shadow.

Did you know that all blue eyed people are related?

I tried that as a chat up line once (we both had blue eyes). Surprisingly, didn't work.

His money his problem. I find it hard to believe he doesnt have better things to spend thousands on but if he doesnt then well for him

Herself startled me one day with blue eye contacts. I could barely manage to look at her that day! Even "quality" colour contacts just look strange to me. Jenna Coleman's in Victoria are better than most but still look demonic. Herself's brown eyes are her best feature but she has talked about wanting blue eyes like all of her evil in laws. It's unbelievable why so many, particularly women, want to alter or replace their most attractive and distinctive features. Body Dysmorphia seems more common now than when I was growing up. But it may just seem that way because so many modifications or "enhancements" are available these days.

How is it any different than for example black women who were a fake wig? Do you think they have body dysmorphia as well? Where do you draw the line.

People are obsessed with beauty, always have and always will. It matters to a certain degree and you'll always have people going the odd mile and getting surgery to change themselves.

Can anybody explain where the offense is in the word?

Why would somebody find it embarrassing to have it pointed out that they had parents with different skin colours? If anything it would be a compliment; make them more exotic than the average Joe?

The PC mindset is a bit complicated and often trips over itself I think. I don't get how there could be an issue with mulatto unless there was first an implicit issue with either being black or being white.

Words don't exist in a vacuum. The meaning and associations drift over time and with context. It used to be fine to refer to people as retarded. The words idiot and imbecile were used to describe people with learning disabilities on old census forms. They were medical terms that were eventually used as insults so the medical community stopped using them.

The term Mullatto used to be used by slave owners to refer to the parentage of their possessions. Not a particularly nice association to remind someone of today.

Its a Southern States term IIRC for the child of a plantation holder/Slave owner who appeared white, was at least tacitly acknowledged as being the child of a white parent.

Quite often mullato was a term of abuse used in a fashion akin to bastárd but with the further "insult" of racial taint.

The only power that word, or any other should have IMO is in its context.
Mullato in its original use is basically a polite way of calling someone a black bastárd and in that context is quite offensive I suppose.

I do not understand the analogy you are attempting to make. No I do not think black women wearing a wig is an example of body dysmorphia. I was thinking of people that are fixated on making non temporary changes to aspects of their body that most others see as assets not blemishes. I also acknowledge in the post that you responded to that body dysmorphism probably just seems more common today because of the wider availability and variety of options out there. Many of us are insecure about our looks. But others go further and obsess over perceived flaws to an obsessive degree. I do not know where the "line" or cut off point would be. I don't have the knowledge or background to say. But it is a recognised mental illness. And obvious cases are easy to spot, sadly. People may seek to get surgery to alter themselves but I do wish there were limits put on the unethical practitioners that exploit them. Wishing you had another eye colour is not necessarily indicative of body dysmorphia. People have different standards and ideals of beauty I guess. Although I find it a bit odd in that it's not like breast augmentation or gastric bypass where people are striving to match widespread entrenched ideals. There are many attractive successful people with all manner of eye colours.

True however I think if you're black it adds a certain "intrigue" imo. In my school in America, one African American kid had blue eyes and girls were always commenting on them and how rare it is for black guys to have them so it's an asset in that situation I guess.

Burn the witch.

Hazel green eyes, like I have , seem to change colour depending on light. Mine can change from green to almost brown.
I've never heard anything so stupid as lazering your eyes for eye colour

Why do you think it's stupid? Vanity knows no boundaries but would it not be pretty?

Maybe it's not. I've never heard of it and instantly assumed lazers and eyeballs were a stupid mix, then I remembered lazer surgery is common place.
I knew a black lad with blue eyes and it was just weird looking. I never even thought , 20yrs ago, they weren't natural

A laser fixed my vision over 10 years ago, so it's not an entirely stupid mix. But there are moments during the procedure where you definitely feel like you've made a terrible mistake. :pac:

When I was younger, I would have been very curious about a laser that can permanently change eye color. But after trying a few colored contacts, I realized that none of them made my eyes look any better, just different. So while they may be ubiquitous, I'll keep my Spanish eyes.

I love people like the one the OP is posting about, you see i have to do absolutely nothing in real life and idiots like her make me look good.
Let her at it, make, me look like a genius compared to her
