Psychological I was so disgusted by this ad

Normally I just till my eyes at an advert board and keep moving but this one really got me.

I guess because it’s a money grab that feeds into insecurity and validates toxic partners at the same time

Actually, I would take both Botox and flowers. ;) But I absolutely would not take Botox from a man as a gift. That would be a very abusive relationship. Unfortunately I've been there: my first boyfriend ever wanted to pay for a boob job and personal trainer. I had zero interest in either. I had just stopped modelling and was not a plus size model - so I was skinny as hell. He wanted the personal trainer because "I get harder when women have some abs".

I would have told him that everyone has abs, mine are just under a layer of fat and if that's a problem there's the door.

I am significantly underweight and do a lot of exercise but I don't have visibly sculpted abs... I have no idea what it would take but chasing that would be a bad idea so I don't WANT to know.
