If you have something you are recognized for... you will cling desperately to it. Comedian? Forever chasing their best show. Sports legends hanging around too long. Its pretty human to want recognition... even if part of it is genetics and youth. Time is the great equaliser.

In the end - if the odd rituals, diets, and surgery leaves them feeling happy... let them have it. Being pretty and famous is almost a monkeys paw. Sure, everyone ages - but you get to age on a pedestal. There initially for your broad appeal... and then on public display as everyone gets to get their shots in as that youthful glow fades. Ick. I wouldn't want it to be me.

Re: GLP-1s

Surely, health is more important than being attractive.

What if being kinda pretty is like the first meth pipe in our society? Like that the rush that complements you get can get you hooked?

Yesterday I saw Disclosure Day and the stiff and botched face of the actress was so off putting

Every single one of these answers puts the choice on something else, other than the women's own choice
