totally disagree with your "by others" qualifier. Aside from you having no real proof of your claim, it is reasonable to assume that plastic surgery is founded in a "look"...but it is also reasonable to consider that some people who get plastic surgery care only about how they look to themselves and not about how they look to others.

I dunno, Schmo. I don't think I have a basis to conclude that they're kidding themselves, and I know them personally. I'm hesitant to say that I know more about their motivations better than they do.
I'll never get a tattoo, either. Or get a piercing. I don't see the attraction. When people tell me why they do, I tend to accept their explanation.

Yes. But since this is a bull crap ting forum I'm not really worried about endlessly caveating statements so they cover ever conceivable exception.

I'm trying to think of a scenario where you'd go for cosmetic surgery without caring what other people think, and coming up empty. How would the surgery all by itself make someone feel better about themselves? I suppose it's possible in theory, but it makes no sense to me.
I've heard that kind of elective surgery is pretty expensive. They'd have to have a pretty strong motivation to go through the hassle, expense, and potential risks involved just to feel a little better about themselves.

That's the thing, Schmo. Remarkably, other people don't always think like I do.
