Am I like the only person that finds it weird for a guy to want cosmetic surgery? I know it's not a sexist procedure but it still weirds me out to see these metrosexual guys wanting cosmetic procedures done - - okay I get it that men can have maincures, pedicures, and massages, hair products too but come on now cosmetic surgery what's next Dick implants!! I need my man a little ruff around the edges these guys are getting too soft - boarder line fairies if you ask me...

Can cosmetic surgery be an effective treatment/answer for penis enlargement? Any website references? Most men want to enlarge their penis but don't know how or even contemplate having it done. I want a long penis. Can you recommend a cosmetic surgeon who has performed this procedure perfectly?

Why do homosexual men take an interest in stopping circumcision in newborn baby boys? The Parents, Family members and Family friends don't seem to take such an interest in being against circumcision as much as gay men and do take interest in more important, life-threatening issues in the care, treatment and well-being of Mother and child than gay men so why do gay men oppose a very common practice that has very few fatalities and though circumcision may be a pointless and unnecesary cosmetic amputative surgery for when there are more important issues that need taken care of and that need everybody's attention have no meaning for gay men! Why a silly cosmetic amputative surgery and not health care and poverty issues???

Hip cosmetic Surgery? I'm a man and my hips stick out in an hour glass shape, wheras most mens torsos are shaped as an upside down triangle, mine is more of a square as my hips stick out. Is there any cosmetic surgery that can fix this. eg shaving some of the bone etc? Answers much appreciated, I have been self conscience about this all my life!

Not cosmetic surgery...? No im not talking about cosmetic surgery, what I am saying to all you followers is that I was asked out from a Man who thought I was pretty girl, couldn't believe my age (real) and even when he was told that I haven't had the op and wouldn't have sex, he was still interested and he was only in he's 30's.. truth from the start helps, I suppose?

Men & Women - thoughts on plastic surgery and your partners? Would you date someone who had cosmetic surgery previous to meeting you? What if they hid it from you for a long time? If you're married/in a serious relationship would you be okay with your partner getting cosmetic surgery? Why or why not? Would YOU ever get cosmetic surgery?? I read an article about this last night and it's got me curious. I'll weigh in with my own opinion now - Personally, I would never get it done unless medically neccesary, or to replace something I lost through medical procedure (mastectomy, or something) And I would also never like my partner to get it, unless medically neccesary. And he feels the same about it. Confidence is sexy. And if someone so self concious that they'd go through all that and take the risks to change it, it's a turn off. Sure some people can get one procedure and be 100 happy - but I think a lot of people have deep seated esteem issues that no surgery will ever fix and they keep getting surgery and it never works. Like they say, how can you expect someone to love you, if you can't love yourself!

Cosmetic Surgery not really helping meet better guys? I'm 27 going on 28 and have had trouble meeting men who meet my level of standards, I'm college educated with a masters degree, I have a very good income level and for a long time I wondered why I couldn't meet the right kinds of guys. For a while I felt like perhaps my appearence was part of the problem though my friends and family told me it wasn't. Well, I've had a few cosmetic procedures done and it's been almost a year since I've had work done and I'm not really having any better luck. I've tried dating sites, personals, being set up by friends and nothing really works, I haven't had a "serious" relationship since I was 19 and have had numerous bad experiences meeting people. Some have said that perhaps my standards are set too high on the kinds of men I'm willing to meet (this is in part due to some bad past experiences). Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I should do to change my approach? It was just minor stuff involving my nose which wasn't completely straight, it wasn't SERIOUS cosmetic surgery but I had the idea in my mind that it was part of the problem.

Will an HMO pay at least half of the surgery costs to remove an alien implant ? It's not a complicated procedure. It's not very deep into the tissue and local antisthetic will work fine. The implants themselves are no bigger than say a large splinter. It's not that the grey's are careless about putting implants in that are easily detected by us, it's just that they know that the best thing we can do on Earth is deny it to the utmost, live a detached existance, and let events continure here excactly as THEY want. Just as they have been doing since 1954. And that's the straight skivy. But anyway's, even an out-patient surgery will be a heavy buck if it's a non-covered procedure. For all I know, they may classify this as "selective" or "cosmetic" surgery. Or they just may classify it. Man, I am funny today !

Why when white women get all that cosmetic surgery done they still never achieve that youthful appearance ? Sorry white girls...It's a losing battle.. It's proven White women start aging at 25 !! Crow's feet, frown lines, and not to mention that aging NECK. How could any man wake up to an aging Pale face like that every morning ?

Is this really intimate Cosmetic Surgery? A sexually active woman tells her plastic surgeon that she wanted her vaginal lips reduced in size because they were too loose and floppy. Out of embarrassment she insisted that the surgery be kept a secret and the surgeon agreed. Awakening from the anesthesia after the surgery she found 3 roses carefully placed beside her on the bed. Outraged, she immediately calls in the doctor. "I thought I asked you not to tell anyone about my operation!" The surgeon told her he had carried out her wish for confidentiality and that the first rose was from him: "I felt sad because you went through this all by yourself." "The second rose is from my nurse. She assisted me in the surgery and empathized because she had the same procedure done some time ago." "And what about the third rose?" she asked. "That's from a man upstairs in the burn unit. He wanted to thank you for his new ears."

A cosmetic surgery question for ladies, would you? Would you go for a 'designer vagina'? It's an operation where they sew up your vagina muscles to make them tighter than they've ever been, and trim you up on the outside, so it looks like a perfect peach! Crazy I think, but what do you think? Is your man worth enduring all that pain for??

Has Al Gore recently has cosmetic surgery around his eyes? I saw him on TV the other day and he looked FREAKY, man!

How much do you spend on cosmetics? And do you really use them properly? shopping, cosmetics, surgery,esthetics, women, men Actually I was asking creams, lotions, toner etc. products out of make-up skin care products

Breast implants: did they make your life better or worse? Everywhere in the media it seems that everyone needs to have the 'perfect' body and one of the ways is to get cosmetic surgery, including implants. I can see where liposuction is usefull, but implants? I don't think so. I mean; Why? My real curiosity is for women who actually had them (or you know of someone who had them): Did your life become better after getting a larger chest (more dates, more s*x, more compliments, better job, more recognition at work), or did it make your life worse off (backaches, perverts stalking you, guys only wanting s*x, shirts that won't fit, other women getting jealous) ?? Is it true that women get implants in order to impress other women, and not the men it their life. That women dress up and wear makeup because it is competition with other women, not an attempt to get attention from men. Could this be the real reason women are getting implants? Whatever the case, please let me know if your life changed for the better or worse afterwards.

sex change operations a fake, like cosmetic surgery? I read this comment recently, inplying that a sex change operation, in reality, is not what it implies. " Real sex change does not exist! A man will still have the inner personality of a man, and his body will not react the same way as a woman's body does to foreplay, relaxation, etc. Even if he takes away his body hair with laser, even if he takes in hormones to soften his muscles and to grow breasts (which by the way will be just fat, not real breasts with milk ducts inside) and even if he has his penis and scrotum cut off, and part of it re-arranged to resemble a vulva, and even it they create a hole in between his legs, it's not a real vagina that lubricates and has a G-spot, leads to a womb and ovaries,etc, Any comments on this, ?

Women can have preferences but men cant? Okay there's this girl I know who's always writing papers on how she feels men caused females to feel so bad about themelves. Men are the reason why they stave themselves and get cosmetic surgery. So basically shes against men who want thin big breasted women. BUT yet, the other day I heard hear joking about how she'd never date a short man. So why is it evil for men to want certain body types but just natural for women to want a certain body type? ( I know this doesnt refer to all women )

do you think hairpiece/wig is "deceptive" for online dating profile photo? I would not give this a second thought except that several female friends had very strong negative comments about this. The photo with "hair" makes a night and day difference in terms of making the first contact. (don't need any artificial help after that ...) I know women like to claim that physical appearance is not the only thing (yeah, right ... both men and women want to date someone "attractive" ... men just honest about it). I don't see this as any different from dressing well, being clean and well groomed. How is this any different from a woman who colors her hair, uses makeup, wears a pushup bra or has had cosmetic surgery??? I am not claiming to have a full head of hair but I am also not going say anything about it unless it comes up ... why should I? I would assume it would be more obvious in person than an online photo ... but I still do not feel at all deceptive or sneeky. any thoughts on this? ladies ... anybody had any relevant experience?

why do young models in competitions all look alike? they all have long hair, all look like they have had cosmetic surgery or enhancements done, all are nearly the same size and shape. There seems to be no difference between their looks one to the other. If men are attracted to these women, would it be safe to say they would choose "any" of those models and it wouldn't make a difference to that male which one they chose for dating, since men are attracted to looks and are into physical appearance? I mean like wouldn't a man have chemistry with all of the models? And why do all young women want to look alike?

Is the Hijab a protection from more than sexual leers from men? I've read many of the questions and time and time again u hear the same thing over and over, that the head covering of the Muslim woman, the hijab, is a protection from the sexual glances or advances of men. This is true, but doesnt God say in the Quran 'it is a protection for u' but a protection from what? everyone seems to focus on what i mentioned above, but have u ever considered that its also another form of protection? a protection from excessive self vanity? u only have to look at the rise in cosmetic surgery to see the pressure women feel to have bigger this or smaller that, or a little change here or there then i'll be more confident! Why? arent u confident that ur inner self along with ur own physical appearance is good enough? the more u take off and expose, the more u expose it to scrutiny and criticism leading to feelings of low self confidence, anorexia need for surgery, etc. Muslim women, practicing their religion with the correct understanding dont have this problem.

White MEN! If you love your women and think they are beautiful, then why change them? I've seen MORE whites than any race of people trying to change the look of there women... Some blacks (not me) change by straightening or dying their hair... But many white women go through h#ll with plastic surgery, weaves, tans..etc.. Why don't you accept the beauty of your women, and stop trying to change them? Of course this doesn't apply to ALL http://www.plasticsurgery.org/media/statistics/loader.cfm?url=/commonspot/security/getfile.cfm&PageID=23762 Percentage of USA that get cosmetic surgery.. 77% white 8%hispanic 7%Black 6%other SORRY 6% ASIAN 2% OTHER First Answer Well I believe MOST(of course NOT ALL) women change to be appealing to there mate or look good for their husband...so if they see their husband/boyfriend lusting after certain traits, of course they will feel that THEY would be more appealing if they too had those same traits.. Notice you see white men say they LOVE blondes...then you see TONS of White women DYING THEIR HAIR BLONDE... It's like cause and effect i guess..

Is it time to end our friendship? I have known my friend for nearly 10 years. We were close ( I was holding her leg has she gave birth to her twins) but since I moved away from her 4 years ago I feel our friendship is very one sided. Its always me that phones or text her unless she wants something or to come for a holiday. Everytime she and the children come, I pay for everything. Which is quite costly (1 adult and 2 8yr olds) she always leaves a lasting impression on my home, last time pointed heal marks all over my wooden floors, She also asked me to lend her £5000 for cosmetic surgery and was not happy when I refused, she is a bit of a tart with men and always goes for mr wrong, I told her to get some self respect!!! and she went home early and we havn't really spoken since. So do I call it a day?????? The problems is I think the world of her children and don't want to lose contact with them Ps this may sound petty but she dos'nt even send my children birthday cards and it really pisses me off!!

White men! Do you respect or degrade white women??? Didn't recognize her existance until the 15th Amendment. Use her to sell sex over any other women. Never tell her contributions to America in history books. More of her then you, but she still makes less money then you and treat her as a minority. She is never beautiful enough for you. She spends more money on cosmetic surgery(lips, breast, etc..), tanning and make-up then any other women. She spends more money on self esteem therapy then any other group of females. She gets more abortions then any other group of females. Am I stereotyping, assuming, overreacting, lying, or exposing any truths?

Why do women dress to arouse men? Some women's self cofidence gets stronger with each man she can arouse with her physical appearence (sexy clothes, glamourous makeup, cosmetic surgery, etc). Sometimes it is like a game to see how many men will stare at her in a public place. The more heads she turns the more empowered she feels. If we have learned to value our selves as women, why do we need to sacrifice our desency to feel empowered? Thanks for all the answers so far. A lot of good points from different angles. Please note that I am not referring to all women or women without any natural beauty (do such women exist?). I am referring to the ones who groom their physical appearence with the whole-hearted intention of arousing men (any man who sees her). Why do they need to sacrifice their desency to feel empowered?

Please help again ladies...(This means no men)? The problem is my wife likes John Cena, the wrestler. She collects his posters, his movies, his trading cards, and the shows that he is on. Should I get cosmetic surgery just like him and start taking steroids just to look like him? I think she would like that more and she would stop lookin at him? Thanks.

should it be illegal for people to get sex change surgery? I'm a gynecologist and have been for some years now.I was offered the job of working as a plastic surgeon performing various different male to female "sex change" operations.I declined.I personally believe no one should be allowed to alter their gender in such an extreme and unnatural manner.I find the thought of a man with a fake but nonetheless fully functional vagina terribly disturbing and the same goes for females who have "penis's".People should be allowed plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons but it should be illegal to change your sex as it just too unnatural.And at the end of the day O.K these people have no penis and from the outside it looks like they have a vagina but they ARE NOT women and never will be.Sadly I think they need to realise they never will be and get on with life O.K so they feel they are in thw rong body but if they have the operation they still have the same body.They are still men and will never be women.Also if they were really truly like women in everyway except physical features why do they all walk with the grace of an English Bulldog? They are men,will always be men and must live with it. I once had a MAN come to me because sex was painful.I thought at first it was a butch woman until I was examining him.I could see immediately HE had a fake vagina.To the trained eye there is so much difference between the fake and real and it's all in their heads that they are female Oh and medical advice over the internet on sites like this should be illegal! I have been horrified at some of the advice given in answers to women's health issues.One example today was a woman was told the hymen was INSIDE the vagina! Is it? That's news to me!

Have you seen this website? I was over in health and beauty and ran across a question about a website called www.myfreeimplants.com You can actually post pictures and profiles so men can donate to your cosmetic surgery dreams! What is this world coming to? I would think that I would have better luck standing on the side of the freeway with a sign around my neck reading "Will work for boob job"!

Any thoughts on whether women go to great lengths for their appearance to impress men, or their own gender? I'm referring to (some) heterosexual women in this case. Specifically I'm thinking of cosmetics, cosmetic surgery and procedures, clothes, purses, hair, shoes, all sorts of beauty products, etc. Thanks!

Women, could you date a man with a penis implant? Or date a guy that had any cosmetic surgery. My girlfriends and i were discussing how men have no problem dating women with breast implants but we would never date a guy that had a penis implant.

is this fine essay? "Beauty is in the eye of beholder," is an unknown proverb in contemporary society. It is a simple sentence that does not make sense anymore. Some women, and now many more men, think social interaction and personal success are dependent on physical attraction, and unfortunately, in this society, they are frequently right. Being perfect is a common issue, but when this issue becomes an obsession it can grow into a far more serious mental illness. Plastic surgery is a huge obsession among all people including preteens, teenagers, and adolescents. It is an obsession that is fed by models and celebrities who think nothing of going under the scalpel again and again in an elusive chase after a beauty icon that does not exist. Plastic surgery is not without risk. It is not a healthy way to look perfect. Plastic surgery can affect a person physically, socially and mentally, and it can have many side effects. It is a painful procedure that can even lead to death. There is a five percent death risk for all people who undergo anesthesia, especially general anesthesia, which is used in many cosmetic surgeries (Younai). A young mother, Dehlmalyz Rios, was 26 years old when she decided to have plastic surgery. Two days after the surgery her body rejected the fat that was deposited in her calves. She died, leaving two children behind. Clearly it can ruin the lives of more than just its proponents (Peru 2). Plastic surgery includes cutting, bending, stretching and other methods to manipulate body structure in order to get a desired shape. This causes pain, discomfort, and swelling that may remain for a lifetime. Some side effects, such as physical pain, are permanent. Plastic surgery can cause depression brought on by medication used to control the aftereffects of surgery. Poor and sometimes grotesque results may also bring on depression and other emotional problems. Of course there is always the post-surgical risk of pneumonia from having to remain in bed for long periods of time or as a result of forced inactivity, and there are the risks of infection and human error. Sometimes there are emotional traumas from the surgery not having the desired effect, or the person’s inability to accept, or disappointment with, the modifications. There can also be guilt or bad feelings caused by spouses, relatives, colleague or friends. Cosmetic surgery depends a great deal on the doctor’s qualifications. There are doctors who offer surgery at very low prices who are not skilled or qualified to perform plastic surgery. Most of these doctors are untrained except for a seminar in a hotel for a few hours. Credentials aren’t checked so that people who may not even be doctors are allowed to take these seminars. In Miami, a doctor named Reinaldo Silvestre, practiced surgery in a small office. He had very little medical training. One of his patients, named Alexandra Baez, claimed that he gave him breast implants instead of the pectoral muscle implant that he had requested (CNN). Many doctors who are performing plastic surgery are not licensed by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. They are quacks, get-rich-quick surgeons, who perform as many surgeries as they can and often under less than sterile conditions (Odenthal). Cosmetic surgery is not for everyone. This doesn’t prevent people from seeking it. Plastic surgery costs thousands of dollars and usually requires a good deal of recovery time. Some people sacrifice their basic needs to save enough money to pay for the surgery. There are those who say that plastic surgery should not be used to change someone’s appearance for the sake of vanity. Sometimes plastic surgery taken to the extreme can make someone look less than human, as is the case with Michael Jackson. People make fun of him, but he is wealthy enough that it doesn’t seem to affect his life. But what about the person who is not wealthy or what if a celebrity and the surgeon go wrong in making decisions? The surgeon may say he or she is sorry, but the surgeon can just walk away. The patient has to live with the awful results. But whether the surgical effects are deemed a success or failure, both the surgeon and the patient are responsible the surgery and the other performed it. With everything there is good and bad. Plastic surgery is no exception. Cosmetic surgery can make someone feel better about their looks, which may lead to an improved life. And certainly cosmetic surgery to repair birth defects, burns, and scars is a boon. But people need to realize that looking like a Hollywood star isn’t necessarily going to change your life or make you happier. They need to understand that things can and do go wrong with plastic surgery and the decision to have plastic surgery shouldn’t be taken lightly. Because when you get right down to it, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. Plastic surgery is a risk that is undertaken with both sorrow and pleasure. Before making a decision, a person must consider risks such as unexpected costs, untrained surgeons, and physical pain during and after surgery. People should not be taken in by how inexpensive a surgery is; rather, they should be concerned about the most important thing of all: life. Plastic surgery is preferable for people who don't have other options, but it is not the best way to look like those Hollywood models and celebrities. “Not guilty plea in fake plastic surgeon case.” November 19, 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/11/19/cosmetic.surgeries/ Karl Ross. “Search for Beauty Ends in Death.” 1998: 2 http://www.locateadoc.com/articles.cfm/1406/1412 http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/11/19/cosmetic.surgeries/ http://www.surgery.org/press/news-release.php?iid=363§ion=news-safety

Is a woman without a man like a fish out of water? Women only: Please take my quiz. No names, just your age and your country of origin. I am writing a book. 1. On a scale from 1-10, rate how much you want to have a husband, now or in the future, where 1 means you don’t want a husband and 10 means you would do almost anything to get a husband. 2. On a scale from 1-10, rate how badly you would feel if you never got married, where 1 means you would be fine with no husband and 10 means no husband would ruin your life. 3. Do you sometimes wear sexy but uncomfortable shoes or clothing? 4. Have you had any kind of cosmetic surgery? 5. Have you dieted too much? 6. Have you had sex when you didn’t want to? 7. Have you had an abortion? How many? 8. Does your man ever verbally humiliate you? 9. Does your man ever strike you in anger? 10. Has your man ever cheated on you? Did you take him back? 11. Has your man ever sexually or physically abused your children or grandchildren? Did you stay with him? Thanks so much. Thank you so much for your answers. You’re very kind to take the time and give it the thought that you did. Although I tried to make the questions morally neutral, I seem to have caused some animosity. Just to clarify, I am a rabid feminist and I hate the suffering and abuse of women and children at the hands of their intimate partners. I hate it. The numbers are staggering worldwide and it has been so throughout recorded history. It appears from your answers that you are among the majority of women who are not hell bent to have a man. But, to some women, any man is better than none. Those women and their children are at risk for abuse. Again, thank you for your time and consideration. I will take your advice and post this on a different board.

This causes pain, discomfort, and swelling that may remain for a lifetime. Some side effects, such as physical pain, are permanent. Plastic surgery can cause depression brought on by medication used to control the aftereffects of surgery. Poor and sometimes grotesque results may also bring on depression and other emotional problems. Of course there is always the post-surgical risk of pneumonia from having to remain in bed for long periods of time or as a result of forced inactivity, and there are the risks of infection and human error. Sometimes there are emotional traumas from the surgery not having the desired effect, or the person’s inability to accept, or disappointment with, the modifications. There can also be guilt or bad feelings caused by spouses, relatives, colleague or friends. Cosmetic surgery depends a great deal on the doctor’s qualifications. There are doctors who offer surgery at very low prices who are not skilled or qualified to perform plastic surgery. Most of these doctors are untrained except for a seminar in a hotel for a few hours. Credentials aren’t checked so that people who may not even be doctors are allowed to take these seminars. In Miami, a doctor named Reinaldo Silvestre, practiced surgery in a small office. He had very little medical training. One of his patients, named Alexandra Baez, claimed that he gave him breast implants instead of the pectoral muscle implant that he had requested (CNN). Many doctors who are performing plastic surgery are not licensed by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. They are quacks, get-rich-quick surgeons, who perform as many surgeries as they can and often under less than sterile conditions (Odenthal). Cosmetic surgery is not for everyone. This doesn’t prevent people from seeking it. Plastic surgery costs thousands of dollars and usually requires a good deal of recovery time. Some people sacrifice their basic needs to save enough money to pay for the surgery. There are those who say that plastic surgery should not be used to change someone’s appearance for the sake of vanity. Sometimes plastic surgery taken to the extreme can make someone look less than human, as is the case with Michael Jackson. People make fun of him, but he is wealthy enough that it doesn’t seem to affect his life. But what about the person who is not wealthy or what if a celebrity and the surgeon go wrong in making decisions? The surgeon may say he or she is sorry, but the surgeon can just walk away. The patient has to live with the awful results. But whether the surgical effects are deemed a success or failure, both the surgeon and the patient are responsible the surgery and the other performed it. With everything there is good and bad. Plastic surgery is no exception. Cosmetic surgery can make someone feel better about their looks, which may lead to an improved life. And certainly cosmetic surgery to repair birth defects, burns, and scars is a boon. But people need to realize that looking like a Hollywood star isn’t necessarily going to change your life or make you happier. They need to understand that things can and do go wrong with plastic surgery and the decision to have plastic surgery shouldn’t be taken lightly. Because when you get right down to it, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. Plastic surgery is a risk that is undertaken with both sorrow and pleasure. Before making a decision, a person must consider risks such as unexpected costs, untrained surgeons, and physical pain during and after surgery. People should not be taken in by how inexpensive a surgery is; rather, they should be concerned about the most important thing of all: life. Plastic surgery is preferable for people who don't have other options, but it is not the best way to look like those Hollywood models and celebrities.

Human race will split into two races? Who believes this? The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist. 100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed. The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000. Scroll down for more... The report claims that after they reach their peak around the year 3000 humans will begin to regress These humans will be between 6ft and 7ft tall and they will live up to 120 years. "Physical features will be driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility that men and women have evolved to look for in potential mates," says the report, which suggests that advances in cosmetic surgery and other body modifying techniques will effectively homogenise our appearance. Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises, according to Curry in a report commissioned for men's satellite TV channel Bravo. Women will all have glossy hair, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts, according to Curry. Racial differences will be a thing of the past as interbreeding produces a single coffee-coloured skin tone. The future for our descendants isn't all long life, perfect bodies and chiselled features, however. While humans will reach their peak in 1000 years' time, 10,000 years later our reliance on technology will have begun to dramatically change our appearance. Medicine will weaken our immune system and we will begin to appear more child-like. Dr Curry said: "The report suggests that the future of man will be a story of the good, the bad and the ugly. Scroll down for more... H G Wells' Science Fiction novel The Time Machine (which was later adapted into two films - this picture is from the 2002 version) the human race has evolved into two species, the highly intelligent and wealthy Eloi... ...and the frightening, animalistic Morlock (as seen in the 1960 film version of the classic book) "While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is the possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance on technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, or our evolved ability to get along with each other. "After that, things could get ugly, with the possible emergence of genetic 'haves' and 'have-nots'." Dr Curry's theory may strike a chord with readers who have read H G Wells' classic novel The Time Machine, in particular his descriptions of the Eloi and the Morlock races. In the 1895 book, the human race has evolved into two distinct species, the highly intelligent and wealthy Eloi and the frightening, animalistic Morlock who are destined to work underground to keep the Eloi happy.

"Can acupuncture help to remove flesh from particular parts of the body? I am a man. Age 55 years. Right from my young days, my breasts are slightly swollen. I want to avoid excessive flesh without going for cosmetic surgery.

I feel unattractive and ugly i want to have plastic surgery. I have also had an abortion .? hey there evrybody how are you . I feel that because of so much rejection from guys relationships that i think iam ugly fat and overwiehgt and i want to have cosmetic surgery to remove my tummy. First of all let me explain my dilemma . Ihad a affair with a married man which has now ended as he has found somebody else as a lover. I became pregnant with his baby i was 2 months gone before i knew any way after i told him he didnt acknowledge it was his baby and could not believe it even though he probably damn well knew. Any way I had the abortion. At the consultation prior to the treatment he was cold to me and unfriendnly and said that we could never be a proper couple and to meet somebody else and go back to my husband he then told me that he had met somebody else now on the dating site and he was not interested he said this to me twice both at the consultation and after the acutal abortion had taken place. help me guys please to sort my dilemma THANK YOU:)

How do we reverse the trend and give women back their confidence? In a recent question about cosmetic surgery, it was pointed out to me that in some places the issue of class is used as a marketing ploy. And now different ethnic groups are being targeted, partly with this issue, to increase business. Why do women(and even men these days) of any social standing need a "quick-fix" solution when sometimes all they need to do to solve their body problems is get fit and lead a healthier lifestyle? Also, breasts are for feeding babies. The reason they're attractive to men is natures way of ensuring they have a chance to serve this purpose. If you don't have big ones you're going to look slimmer and be attractive to men. If you do have big ones you can use them to attract a good man who prefers big ones. So why the need for change? Also botox is made from one of the most poisonous substances known to man. Is our idea of beauty getting ever more perverted?

For male models who have that whole "impossibly chiselled cheeks" thing going on...? A prime example being the first model in this section - http://men.style.com/fashion/collections... Are they really natural, or is any kind of cosmetic surgery used to attain this look? E.g. cheek implants, cheek fat removal etc.. Thanks.

(Men Only)<-- If a girl was completly fake on the outside but genuine on the inside would you still date her? So lets say she has extensions, fake nails, and has had cosmetic surgery. ( she still looks the same in the morning, because its all permanent.) But shes sweet, and understanding and loves you. Would you date her?

girls: How do you feel about men doing anabolic steroids? I've been studying the subject a bit. The truth is, if a guy is muscley but had low body fat (aka buff), He will either be a) an athlete, training 10 to 30 hours per week or b) a nature freak with a miracle metabolism or c) on (or has been on) steroids. The thing with steroids is that they are very hard to detect and steroid culture promotes silence for obvious reasons (its illegal, prevent accusations of bad sportsmanship or ban from competitions). Also the use (and abuse) of steroids can be blamed for impotence and aggressive behaviour. Sounds familiar? Your man might be on it. How do you think this compares with women’s beauty sacrifices? (Cosmetic surgery, bulimia, etc?) well, its really good of you girls to say that "youd dump him". I just said that if he looks musculey and buff then odds are he is on steroids. You prob wouldnt be going out with him in the first place? same way i'd be attracted to a skinny fit girl, I'd condemn the surgery and constant vomiting. But I'd never go out with a fat girl, so.... hey big bull, chill ouuut!! You on steroids or what? dont get all agravated, calling me a gay jack off like that? jesus! You roid freak (ahahahaha pwned)

breast enlargement? why do women and men have cosmetic surgery are you for or against
