[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It helps to live in the DMV where I’ve never seen a woman wear makeup. I guess if I lived in CA or TX I might be reaching for these interventions more.[/quote]

My younger brother and his wife live in Dallas. She is 10 years younger than me (so early 40s), and all her friends use botox, chemical peels etc. She and I were discussing this, and I realized that at 53 I don't know anybody who uses botox, fillers, or even chemical peels. I use tretinoin and most of the women my age color their hair to hide gray, but I think DC tends to be low intervention. I am in academia. My good friends are in large non-profits, academica, and federal government. Maybe it helps to look a little older in these environments?[/quote]

I just think your environments are less superficial and maybe rely less on looks than let's say sales, corporate, and cities where modeling/influencing matter more. Living in NYC or Miami or Los Angeles seems to have more procedures than perhaps let's say Kansas but those Mormon wives seem to do plenty in Utah with plastic surgery.[/quote]

I just replied to a wonky spendthrift dummy - I live in NYC in a very expensive area and not everyone does All The Things. The person who does in my larger set is the youngest and can’t find a man to seriously date, and she now regards her procedures as crucial to finding love.[/quote]
