extreme makeovers

'All the so-called beautiful women have mostly gone under the same knife. That's why they all look similar. Let's face it. It's the rich that will become beautiful. Coz only the rich can afford the 'legal-daylight-robbery' prices of plastic surgeons.'


I wrote the above comments in Shattered after reading Merv's recent post on Ms Singapore Universe Pageant . Tempted to write some more after thoughts...

Met up with one of my models for dinner. She's a real gorgeous babe. I was surprised to find out that she had gone under the knife on her eyes and cheekbone. Also, know of 2 of my colleagues who visited cosmetic surgeons for double eyelid and nose job. Both are highly sought after by the opposite sex.

Oh well, if you think about it, the main reason why women are doing these is because men are visual creatures. Sadly, there is a large proportion of men who go for looks. Let's face it. Forget the 'I-go-for-a-kind-heart' and 'looks-are-not-everything' crap. Men, before you protest and go into self-denial, ask yourself truthfully: without a pretty face, will you ever look at the heart? No! It's just a sad fact.

This happened yesterday. My gorgeous colleagues were hanging out in a group. There was this group of guys who were taking a smoking break nearby, one of which was my ex-colleague, incidentally. The guys came over to chat me up and started asking me whether I can intro my pretty colleagues to them. -_-'''

Guy 1: Can intro your colleague to my friend? (point to Guy 2)
Me: Which one?
Guy 1: The one in purple shirt.
Guy 2: No lah. Not for me lah! He's joking. (paiseh blush)
Me: Oh, haha, too bad, she's taken.
Guy 3: So, which one is not taken?
Me: -_-'''

There. See my point? I have nothing to say.

Hi girl, why weren't they interested in you??! Are they OK?

Looks can only help initially. That is because you don't know the charater of the person YET and the only way you could judge a person is thru the looks.

But as you know the person further, if the charater of the person is bad, do you think guys who r serious would still consider having her as gf? Only those who play around will consider having a beautiful but bad charater gal as gf.

50 years down the road, the look will be gone, but the charater is still there.....

as a man, i admit that looks do play a role. but i wont place it over character. it's a 40-60 thing for me.

maybe its just me but, i havent met a woman who picks a guy without visual preference. so personally, i believe it's mutual. both sexes put pressure on each other to look a certain way.

i take a highly objective look on the whole problem of visual appearance and i believe that both sexes are to blame for this problem.

p.s. my idea of very pretty physical wise is a tshirt and jeans girl, no make up needed, everyday face girl next door type of girl. so you're assured that there is one less guy in singapore who wont inquire about your colleagues haha.

slushy: That I can't understand, but I'm not attracted to Himbos anyway.

dk: Hey, you hit the jackpot and proved my point! Without the initial looks, you won't move on to stage 2 to get to know the person further.

merv kwok: 60%looks or 60% character?

Merv Kwok said...

60% character. still bad i know lol. but im infantile

JerL said...

That's good enough. It's impossible to have 0% on looks unless one is blind. I look at cute guys too! I'm not so unforgiving lah.

God will bless you with the best. The best one for you.
