[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 52.  I don’t look 42.  I am perfectly happy aging gracefully.  No way would I have toxins injected into my face.  First, everyone I know who does, looks perpetually surprised.  I would hate to look like that. And second, I have no desire to look younger than I am. I want to look like a strong, fit, healthy 52 year old woman. Because that’s what I am. [/quote]

And other people want to look good. Because that’s their thing and Botox helps with that. Look at Nicole Kidman-she’s gorgeous in her 50’s because of injectables. She looks fake but undeniably beautiful.[/quote]

For some of us, looking fake is never beautiful.  I find people chasing their youth very sad.  I find it sad that you believe you must look 20 to "look good".  That is so F-d up.  I understand why actresses do it but so sad that they have to do it and people like you reinforce to the movie, tv etc. industries that this is what people want.

We need to shift the whole culture and stop thinking that people who look older are "gross" or "sad" or "have given up" and should hide away from society.

The more we show real people with real faces and real bodies instead of photoshopped BS and cosmetically-altered faces, the better off all of us will be.  [/quote]

Nobody is saying people who look old are sad or should hide away from society. You’re projecting because you believe that outward appearance is linked to a person’s worthiness, which is not true. IMO, people who look younger are just more beautiful. I don’t find anything attractive about loose skin, wrinkles, or folds. Does that mean I think everyone should get Botox and fillers? No, but it might help some people look better.[/quote]

No.  You need to reread my post.  I DON'T believe that.  I am arguing that we should NOT link a person's outward appearance to their worthiness.  It is clear many of the PPs on here who feel compelled to inject stuff in their faces do think that.  They diminish themselves and other women with this way of thinking.[/quote]

NP. No, it is NOT clear they think that. You're the one making this "worthiness" argument. Sometimes people just do things for fashion or style or preference, not as some sort of deeper existential commentary. You're fine without botox, and other women are fine with it. Stop worrying about what other women do. [/quote]
