I suppose that's true, but there are many women, as someone so eloquently put it, that are "Comfortable in their own skin". To those that are GENUINELY unhappy with their appearance, NOT based on the "Perfect" woman as seen on TV, then I would certainly understand. If they were doing it BECAUSE of the women seen on TV, I'd do my best to give them a dose of reality by taking them to the local bar and pointing out the imperfections in all the women. Or at least the ratio of "Perfect" people to "Normal" looking.
