Ricster89 i think i go for the deterrent theory as my brain struggles to accept that these girls look in the mirror and think its and improvement, because i no for a fact if it was me i would want it out of my lips immediatly and wouldnt touch it again, its basically self sabatage
They are being pushed along by the strong current of social conditioning. All their friends are having their lips done. Human perceptions are incredibly susceptible to peer pressure and societal trends. She looks in the mirror with her huge lips, she sees someone who's "with the times" – and if you don't like it, you're whatever the modern word for "square" is. And, if anyone argues, she's a strong, independent woman, and it's her body, her choice. 🤣
It doesn't just affect women. I know guys who I can show a plus-size model to (who is medically obese) and they will tell me, "She's not fat! She's beautiful!" Why? Because "the message" has got in their heads and they have no critical faculty for rejecting such propaganda. Their thoughts now distort their own visual field.
It's not like we're immune from it, either. I watched an ATK Hairy video with the full-on, completely unshaved legs the other day, just to see if I could do it, and the social conditioning towards perfectly smooth legs kicked in very hard. I had to remind myself I wasn't looking at a dude. But those judgments eventually relaxed and I realized I was looking at something ancient -- Human Female 1.0. And I was good with it. 🙂
Never underestimate the distorting power of social conditioning on one's perceptions. I have read many comments, on this site and others, where someone was saying a guy with an uncut dick was "gross", and that the studio should only hire circumcised male talent. That commenter thinks a dick that hasn't been mutilated is gross. Why? Social conditioning. He's had his own dick mutilated, so he needs the world to be on the same page. In his eyes, an uncut dick is an abomination. His thoughts will distort his visual field in this way.
These are our models. They occur entirely within our thoughts. They cause us never to see the world how it truly is. We only see the distortions, and we take that as real.
Okay, rant over. 🙂
