If you found out a member of the opposite sex had plastic surgery, would this affect your willingness to date them?

Corrective plastic surgery is different from Cosmetic plastic surgery. Plastic surgery can be performed after an accident to remove scars and rebuild broken bones, after a large weight loss to remove excess skin, and even to correct birth defects. Many times, it's not something you do for vanity.

Women not only have breast augmentation, but they also have breast reductions, due to having breasts that are so large they cause them terrible pain. Excess skin over your eyes can actually impair your vision, and an eyelid lift can improve your life. Bodies are not always made perfectly matched, one side to the other.

Plastic surgery is sometimes necessary to correct deformities and unequal sizing. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is done simply to improve or change your appearance for vanity reasons. For me, it would depend on what they had done and why.

Being a women, it's unusual for me to find men who have had plastic surgery. I once had a man who had hair plugs ask me out, and I did turn him down, simply because they looked awful, and I thought he would have looked better bald. I think that minus the plugs, I would have been attracted to him, but as it was, I was not.

I did date a man who had lost over 100 lbs and had a tummy tuck. That was no problem at all.

Yep. I shall be the black sheep o'answers. Excluding car crash victims or others disfigured beyond their personal control, that does not include people who got fat from too many Twinkies and no off the couch button and then lipo-ed it all out and now don't like the skin suit.

I don't enjoy people who can't accept themselves for who they are. Further unless they were very open about the surgery it's sort of like, lying. My is my husband rubbing off on my with this comment, but deep down I do believe our attraction to people is based on a desire to rob their genetics and procreate.

If what you see isn't what's in the genetics, how is that not a lie? I don't even wear make-up. I could never date someone so concerned with their appearance they need to surgically alter it.

Yes. It would really affect my impression of them--outside of necessary corrective surgery--to find out they had elective surgery. Even aside from the actual plastic parts, and the phoniness of them, my larger concern would be with someone who is so insecure and vain at the same time.

I respect anyone who wants to improve themselves through hard work and lifestyle changes, but taking a painful and expensive shortcut to self-improvement shows that I couldn't carry the baggage of that person. Waaay too heavy. Unless it means they're really, realllllly rich.

Then maybe I'd reconsider. (...just kidding...sort of) I'd much rather be with someone who loves themselves as they are.

Maybe. It would depend on whether or not the plastic surgery made them look good, whether if screwed them up, or if it didn't make a difference. For me, something which would influence my decision to date a person would be how many plastic surgeries they had.

-- If they were addicted to it, I would probably stop returning their phone calls.

Absolutely not. I'm not in the business of judging other people for their personal choices. There's a difference between getting plastic surgery and looking like Michael Jackson (too soon?).

Not at all. People have plastic surgery for a whole host of different reasons, and I am in no position to judge anyone for those reasons. While there could be some concern about people who lack self-esteem turning to surgery for assistance, if the surgery leads to higher self-esteem, why should I deny them that?

If anything, that raised self-esteem might be one of the things that attracted me to that person.

Nope... as they say beauty is skin deep (and ugly goes straight to the bone). But the fact that someone had their nose tweaked, isn't that different from having their hair dyed or their nails done.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
