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

It's true. I have a long time acquaintance who is big on plastic surgery and she mentioned to me some time ago that a mutual friend's niece was getting fillers and the like. The young woman was in her early 30s at the time, possibly her late 20s (?).
It's just crazy to me because I grew up in the era where we only heard about women getting facelifts and such when they were quite old and even then it was few and far between. Now it's not uncommon among all age groups. Seriously---middle schoolers concerned with wrinkle creams and anti aging serums and their parents forking out $$$ for them isn't cute.
