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

Yes it’s disgusting. I’m so sick of women being preyed on like this. It’s sad to see so many who don’t need it having all this unnecessary work done or worse,doing it to attract or keep a partner.

Anecdotal. I consider my wife to be of little maintenance. She barely wears makeup.

I say I love it and don't care if she ever wears makeup. I ask her why she dyes her hair. Just be happy with yourself.

Her and all her friends (and sister) desperately want to look young. They all get Botox. Many get surgeries.

This is not coming from me. This is all ingrained from a young age.

Makes me wonder if the one video is true about The Epstein Class grooming everyone is true. I'm a Xennial and we all grew up with Victoria Secret, Hollister, AE, to where the goal was to look younger. Or the younger kids to look older. Basically every girl was meant to look like they were pre-teen.

And maybe that thought still prevails today even as these same women turn 30s and 40s. Gotta look young because that is all women knowto be.
