There’s often a Venus vs. Mars debate when it comes to cosmetic surgery.  “Research shows!” …that eight out of ten men don’t get it and don’t want to give it when the issue of cost is on the table.  You and just about everyone else that makes their way to this website know that cosmetic surgery isn’t about looking like a teen queen or one of Hollywood’s nipplettes.

It’s about self esteem, and that’s a human component that needs to function for all of us – we need to keep it chugging, even if it’s not as bright and shiny as it once was.   So, let’s consider how you might explain your interest in cosmetic improvements with illustrations that your Husband/Boyfriend/SO/Whatever will understand. 

Suppose he points out that aging is a natural process and nothing we should shun.  AGREE with him!  Point out that comedian Borat wants a paunch implant because where he comes from they’re a sign of affluence.  Tell your loved one to count his blessings. 

If he suggests that looking older is a sign of maturity and commands respect, look ENLIGHTENED!  Big eyes, mouth in an O!  The next morning, give the gift of thinning shears while he’s rummaging through his cornflakes and the newspaper.

Get the idea?  It might set him to thinking, for a change – in this case, your change.
