If women give themselves Botox shots to find a boyfriend, it is more strongly frowned upon by their girlfriends than similar injections to move up the corporate ladder or just to get promoted self-esteem. This curious conclusion was made by researchers from the British University of Swansea.
The use of Botox and other cosmetic procedures has long been part of the routine for many millions of women and men, and it is generally accepted that visiting beauty clinics is a personal matter for each person. However, now it turned out that in women's groups they strictly look at the goals for which women seek the help of cosmetologists. In particular, if Botox injections are carried out in order to develop a career or simply increase self-esteem, then this is perceived with relative sympathy and with more understanding. But not if a woman rejuvenates herself in order to find herself a romantic partner.
Women are increasingly injecting Botox into their calves
Researchers studied the reactions of 306 different people who faced various scenarios of passing middle-aged women through anti-aging procedures. These included injections of Botox and other dermal fillers. Estimates were given not only by women, but also by men who were asked to express their opinion about a conditional middle-aged lady who wants to look younger.
Botox injections can lead to problems in sexual life
It turned out that women in their judgments were guided by specific goals of rejuvenation. And if that same lady was rejuvenated for her own self-esteem and to move up the career ladder, then her trips to plastic doctors and cosmetologists were perceived positively. Therefore, personal well-being is considered acceptable when improving appearance. But attempts to find a boyfriend due to the younger appearance of the woman were assessed negatively. At the same time, for men, it absolutely did not matter for what purpose the woman gave herself Botox injections. (READ MORE)
