What is it with some girls and too much plastic surgery?

NIMAN

The plastic surgeons seem to get off scot-free in all this chat.

They should be struck off for some of those procedures they do.

Probably a wiser if less entertaining course of action than my suggestion in fairness.

Instagram?

Don't get me started.

Plastic enhancements are one thing but photoshop is a whole other circus.

This one skinny meth fiend looking "fitness model" that showed up on my feed, her catch line is,

"My body is my temple, and it should be yours too".

And I'm thinking,

"you absolute bean, look like you've never had a decent meal, let alone even been to a gym.

And your face is so gaunt looks like your cheek bones are going to pop clean through your skin.........

....... how you going to preach to someone else about their physical well being??"

Conceals it all with photo-shop though of course.

I know cause I've actually seen her IRL.

Absolute train wreck, clearly uses filler to cover up her malnutrition. Chases grand-dads three times her age and posts instagram pictures like she hangs out with billionaires all day (I guess they don't care about how photo-shopped her online pics are, they're just glad to be there).

Pathetic.

My SIL is a beautician and is big into all the stuff. Her eyebrows like like they were put on with markers. Her clients love the look so she is sort of an advertisement for services. Her lips are OK now but at one point they were massive and her family just told her she was going way overboard. She seemed to realise but her husband liked it and various other trashy looks she had. He used to be a body builder and stripper. He did steroids for a long time and uses tanning pills still. He looks so weird but thinks he looks great. His eyelids and ears are the exact same colour as the rest of his face. Doesn't sound that crazy but it is really odd looking and it takes a little while to figure out what is off.

Anyway it is all about insecurities and then who you socialise with. All their friends are similar and obsessed with labels and mange to look like trash. They spend a fortune on this stuff and live in debt to fund it.

I understand some it like maybe having braces, laser eye surgery or even rhinoplasty and you're self conscious about these things but the bee sting lips and tattooed on eyebrows just seem to make people look worse. Some of the people that get those things seem oblivious that.

The thing about those lip fillers is, I wouldn't even notice there was anything "wrong" if they were left as they were, but would immediately notice as soon as they are worked on. Getting a procedure done when you have low esteem which actually makes people gawk at you more is surely counter-intuitive no?

Like I have never seen a woman without any procedure done and thought 'wow. She is pretty. Shame about the lips'. But I almost always see a woman who has got lip fillers done and think: 'wow. She is pretty. Shame about the lips'.

Some people express themselves via over the top cosmetics, some via tattoos and some people even express themselves via creating inane judgmental message board threads. Horses for courses.

It's all very well for TV adverts to use women who are morbidly obese, or scarred or who have some kind of skin disease to try to make it look like they're promoting ordinary beauty, but they aren't. The brand can pay millions for one of the Williams sisters to advertise a razor or they can pay a tiny fraction of that to a random fat girl to shave her bikini line and make the company look like they're supporting ordinary women, but they aren't.

There's a generation that have grown up watching celebrities promoting plastic surgery and glamorous looks that just aren't realistic or attainable for most people. If your a fella having a one night stand with a girl you could find your sheets are orange from the fake tan and some of her fake eyelashes are stuck to your pillows. 😂 I'd say a lot of them are having the surgeries done cheaply abroad and it shows. Some probably get addicted to it. I'd always said I'd never have cosmetic surgery but now I'd happily have stuff lifted sucked and tucked. I'd never have cosmetic surgery on my face though.

The eyebrows can be something else. Big black marker drawn over the eyes. How in the name of god did anyone think that looked good and manage to convice hordes of others of the same

Ah and the sunbeds, of course.

To be honest I think an element of excessive sunbed use.... I mean for anyone that's been to a tanning parlor, you will know most of them are pretty damn trashy.

Don't know what it is or why but certainly a sizable percentage of the women who run or work in the places I'd imagine could probably make successful "Madams" in the brothels.

They typically have that "I'm a bad girl, trashy and proud" thing going on.

I guess like attracts like.

Catch a fair amount of that on instagam reels also; "oh here's one of me naked in a sunbed, and another one of me getting a sunbed cause my ludicrously overdone tan is soooo dayum sexy".

Yeah dear, between your offensively over baked tan, your hematoma lips, plastic chest and obvious eating disorder, you are just adorable.

lol

YOU ABSOLUTE BOMB SCARE!!

Really though? Who really gives a fck what anyone else looks like? They think its great, best of luck to them. They are not asking you to pay for their cosmetics.

You seem a bit obsessed and creepy. Very judgemental.

And the GIGANTIC stretch to say that anyone running a beauticians or tanning parlour or working there would fit in well in a brothel. Like WT absolute F?

At least the look ties into the sex worker fascination your previous account had.

You obviously spend a lot of time scoping out tanning salons and their staff, maybe you should volunteer on Saturdays?

I'm not sure it's actually regulated here so botch jobs are inevitable.

Sheep just following sheep

Brainwashed by media

Irish people are absolutely terrified to do anything that goes against the grain

Fear of being left behind

An average natural looking girl will always look better than a Kardashian/Jersey shore thing

Pity because irish girls are actually beautiful when they just be themselves

You think plastic surgeons aren't licensed in Ireland?

lol

Botch jobs tend to come from Balkan regions like Turkey who perform extensive cosmetic procedures for comparatively low cost, little possibility of recourse should the surgeon mess up.

Galwayguy35

Ah let them off if it makes them happy, all those fillers and stuff might not be the best to be pumping into the body but its their own business.

It seems to be getting more common for men to be getting plastic surgery as well.

Plastic surgeons are, but they deal with burn injuries, reconstructive surgery and disfigurement.

Lip fillers, medically unnecessary breast surgery etc. are cosmetic surgery, not plastic.

As Dolly once said, "it takes a lot of money to look this trashy".

gary550

There is a ridiculous amount of stunners who have just ruined their face with fillers

I think the logic is lost on some girls....... they get lip fillers to stand out by looking the same as every other basic whoer

See, someone (let's avoid gender discrepancy) having a procedure to avoid a genetic defect, and another person having surgery cause in their warped little view of the world their self mutilation gives them some kind of bent "sexual edge", are really not the same thing.

Richard Hillman

For "influencers" for physical appearance, I think if you use any sort of augmentation to the picture you should be done for false advertising.

I know you have to declare on Instagram if it is a paid promotion, but you also should have to declare if the picture was modified. I don't mind if it's a general filter to make colours stand out but if you are using software to edit your physical appearance to make yourself look thinner, bigger, or to iron blemishes then it should be put under false advertisement.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119264398#Comment_119264398

I think for a lot of girls, it's not necessarily that they believe it dramatically enhances their appearance (cause no non-emotionally bent person could).

Possibly more so, they're basically looking for purpose, a sense of meaning.

In their mind their meaning in life is to be some kind of sex object, therefore going way OTT with weird procedures is in their mind, a natural physiological progression.

They don't seem to quite understand that whilst sex and sexuality is critical, it's a means to an end, not the ends itself.

........

Like saying, eating is critical, so we can maintain health and well being. But we eat so we can physiologically function, it facilitates leading a healthy life in other respects.

We don't consider eating our primary purpose in being here....... or if we do, the outcome is going to be pretty grim.

You feel me?

.......

Pretty grim.

Agree.

In social media times, photo shop is the ultimate plague.

Those who exploit it should be tagged as doing so, no discussion.

........

To be honest, industries that facilitate it (or don't accept their responsibility to expose it) for capital gain should be labelled as endorsing the unscrupulous practice also.

So the answer is no then. You only mock women.

Or do you think people need to get your blessing that YOU DECIDE they are getting work done for a genetic defect or because of self mutilation. You are answering on behalf of people, telling them what is in their mind, their meaning is to be a sex object. so you are a mind reader as well.

How can you claim to know what others think?

Having a complete angry meltdown and ranting and raving over them is a bit strange.

You have also posted the same picture 3 or 4 times of the same person, which is also strange.

Id say your ranting is stranger than the people doing the duck faces.
