The trout pout, do you find it attractive???
Discussion
I read somewhere that the psychology of what women do to themselves cosmetically isn’t actually about attracting men (even when they think it is). It’s about out-competing other women. The proof of this is that men often don’t even notice what they’ve done, and in many cases (like this one) would actually prefer they didn’t do it.
Certainly makes more sense if you think of it like that, and might explain why these fashions have become so extreme in the Social Media age.

This girl's on Love Island at the moment. Her whole face seems to swell up sometimes which doesn't help her.
If people who haven't met you can tell, it's gone too far.
The amount of facetune used on that pic is comical. There is a subreddit (r/instagramreality) where users post Instagram users pics (the ones they’ve uploaded themselves vs pics they’re tagged in.If people who haven't met you can tell, it's gone too far.
Charlotte Crosby is terrible for it.

Quite. Women don't have friends, they have rivals. Certainly makes more sense if you think of it like that, and might explain why these fashions have become so extreme in the Social Media age.

Don't these people take photos in normal places?
A good friend from my school days recently had a breast enlargement. We are in our early 40's now but she's never been happy with the A-cup nature gave her so went for just a small augmentation to a C-cup which really suits her and her body-shape.
She saved up a lot of money and had the operation with a very well known London surgeon and it was money well-spent.
Buoyed by that success, she decided to have lip-fillers too. Didn't bother with research this time, just went with someone local to her offering the service on the cheap.
The end result was similar to what it would have looked like if I smacked her in the mouth, I hope for her sake the swelling goes down.
Personally, I can't believe that any Tom, Dick or Harry can set themselves up in a "salon", offering Botox, fillers etc without any proper regulation - it's crazy.

All part of the female persona to present themselves to the world as something they are not. I detest it.
I am struggling to think of a single part of the female body they will not change or cover over, both temporarily or permanently. It all must cost a bloody small fortune.
It all starts so early in their lives too, you often see 12 year old girls with full make-up.

I just don't understand this whole ''fake everything'' look... trout pout, slugs for eyebrows, half inch long eyelashes, face covered in Bisto.
Unless perhaps the women going for this look are actually all radical feminists and trying to make themselves look as unattractive as possible.

Being able to afford cosmetic procedures is a sign of wealth, and whilst originally it was done subtly to provide small improvements, the trend then became to enhance beyond a natural realm as a series of one-upmanship between "beauty" icons. Furthering the demonstration of wealth. Except now it's so mainstream it's also relatively affordable for everyone, so you also have to add the inability of cheaper "artists" that apply these procedures.Unless perhaps the women going for this look are actually all radical feminists and trying to make themselves look as unattractive as possible.
A bit like blokes and watches really. Entirely excessive functionally, but a degree of one-upmanship between people to project wealth and image.
It’s also the fact you now finance breast augmentation amongst other enhancements for 0% at many clinics
FYI there are regs around who can purchase Botox so those salons providing that service SHOULD be meeting those providing its purchased legally. However, salons doing fillers is a completely different ball game as it’s mostly liquid silicone blends which any fool can buy on Wish!

This isn't scientific research, just an impression I have but I think some women would be satisfied by the attention they receive if augmentations go badly as they would if they go well. A perverse satisfaction, but minor celebrity status or even just attention for any reason seems to be better than none for some people.

One of the more comical “forex traders” girldfriend does all the iffy stuff including selling tablets to make you go brown
I mean if my other half was earning “six figs”:I’d definitely carry out iffy procedures on people for £75
This reminds me of an acquaintance of my wife
She’s the sort to not have concentrated through school, drifted from one fad to the other, selling pyramid diets, healthy drinks, healthy wonder stuff to morons etc
Her latest thing is doing SPMU. Semi Permanent Make Up
I don’t fully understand but it makes you look like you have an Instagram filter on, permanently
She uploads pictures of the before and after
Normally it’s some slapper who looks a bit worn out, then the next picture is the same slapper who looks like she has fallen asleep on the floor at the crèche of the gray factory
Of course, all cash innit
