Was watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9puAFk5X918 and it made me insecure about all the women getting plastic surgery. How do you tell? I always thought people like her http://imgur.com/yp3zja4 were the 10/10 angel faced dream girl any guy would die for, but now I think she is a fake plastic surgery faced average girl? This thing is very wrong, they should make plastic surgery illegal it's the same as false advertisement (and that's illegal). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Money is tight (talkcontribs) 11:28, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There could be a legal question there, in the case of a marriage contract, if nondisclosure of plastic surgery in order to disguise one's true appearance constitutes fraud. I could see financial costs associated with not knowing, if the future husband must then pay for follow-up surgeries to maintain the wife's appearance, and perhaps do the same for the children, if they inherit the woman's hidden physical flaws. It would be interesting to know if any legal challenge has even been brought, based on this legal theory. StuRat (talk) 13:47, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
On the other hand if you marry a girl just for her looks then you deserve what you get. Richard Avery (talk) 14:50, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily just for that. But, from an evolutionary POV, appearance is an indicator of fitness, and therefore most species consider appearance, to some extent, when selecting a mate. StuRat (talk) 16:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
