Re: GLP-1s

Surely, health is more important than being attractive.

A lot of "insecurity" and "marketing" comments in here.

In the world where we don't shoot from the hip, there are different factors for different things.

For example, Covid, and the mass use of video calls and TikTok that came with it, brought about the "flat features" phenomenon from cameras, which drove a huge increase in lip fillers and other botox to help people stand out.

But things like Ozempic are very different, as they are used much more by those who can truly benefit from them to reduce other medical issues that come with weight.

And to be clear, none of these things are bad. For many they are not needed (in the opinions of others, often myself, too), but that does not make them bad.

What if being kinda pretty is like the first meth pipe in our society? Like that the rush that complements you get can get you hooked?

This could be that Harry Potter meme too.

Every single one of these answers puts the choice on something else, other than the women's own choice

I think it comes from every possible direction. Family when young with pressure to dress a certain way or present a certain way. Media showing a certain look depending on what is fashionable. Constant beauty and makeup stuff. Peers pick it up and model. People expect it so much that if you even skip one thing you may hear “wow you look tired today”. And these beauty standards are socially enforced and expected behaviors. It’s everywhere from everyone all the time.

Running over a Gypsy and not saying sorry abt it so her dying curse is simply the word “thinner” 💊

there are probably different reasons for many cases.

after i heard about an abusive guy making his partner tattoo his name all over her (news article in German https://www.20min.ch/story/niederlande-ex-zwang-joke-zu-250-hans-tattoos-am-ganzen-koerper-103548055 ), i think maybe some ppl make their partners do this to make sure they will not find another partner. i also remember cases where ppl fed their partners extra big portions in hopes of making them obese, so they can't find another partner. but it's probably not always the case.

maybe sometimes they are just bored and don't care about their health and looks.

If someone is “attractive,” there’s a fair bit of chance they’ve done stuff to get there already, like exercising, skincare, etc.

The things on the image are just an extension of that. They’re not thinking like OP that they’ve done enough. It’s all the same thing.
