Totally ready to take a ton of heat here as a straight arguably white man but I just dont get lip injections, specifically the ones where people look like ducks having an allergic reaction. I know it can be done more subtly to the point where it might not look obviously out of the norm but even then I still dont get it.
Specifically with the large puffy ones, do they think it makes them look better? Whenever I see it in the wild it looks horrendous from my pov. Are there dudes out there who are attracted to huge puffy lips? I understand the way others present their appearance is not for me, not everything cosmetically is done to be “attractive”, and my opinion doesn’t count but it just seems like a super strange choice.
Is there something Im missing about lip fillers? It just seems like an expensive way of looking weird.


I imagine its a reverse survivor-ship bias - where the odd ones out who purposefully went for duck lips or had allergic reactions stick out like a sore thumb, and thus we don’t notice all the people that got subtle jobs done on their lips.
Similar to getting teeth done. We easily notice the people who got shiny white freakishly straight “Turkey Teeth”, but not the others who opted for more natural looking teeth replacements.
