If you make enough money, you can afford good plastic surgeons. Look at Demi Moore.

Simply using cold water on your face/head all the time works better than all that s**t combined.

There are successful women out there that date less successful men.

After my stint in an abusive marriage, i prefer men that are less successful then me and the men i am attracted to also are what society says are not as attractive as me. My earning capacity is huge at the moment but i am studying instead, and in a year when i am working as a paleontologist, i will be on month long placements to remote locations. I will be on the financial level where i will not actually have to worry about money and can afford to support my man as a stay at home partner.

I would prefer to be the bread winner and have a partner who compliments our relationship with my children then trying to be "successful". I do however need a partner who is intellectually stimulating and will continue work enough so that they get out of the house to keep their independence and total dependency is unattractive.

Just my 2 cents anyway.

Cold water doesn't do anything to block UV light.

Sunscreen's good too on a spot that's likely going to get burned(not just tanned). Guess it also depends how dark the person's complexion is in the first place.

Even dark skinned people can get skin cancer.
Cold water does tighten pores but won't remove dirt from pores,steam your face using a bowl of hot water and a towel over your head,for as long as you can take it.Wash with warm water,apply clay mask,remove when dry with cool water,this cleans all the pores out.I never use soap on my face,it's drying.I tend to have dry patches in the winter so I use a really good moisturizer.Wearing a hat in the sun is also good,people squint in bright light,and it causes tiny wrinkles to form after time.

I'm all for washing face fairly regularly with soap/noxzema or whatever, but only combined with cold water. Same when washing hair.

This is a good thing. I hope this trend continues. It's a step towards true egalitarian gender roles.

I would prefer a man is with me because he want's to be with me. Not because he needs to be with me.

There are variances of dependency. If a man is financially dependent on me, i would still want him to not be socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually dependent on me too. A sense of self worth is mandatory and I would encourage any partner to have activities i am not involved with on a continuing basis, be that work, study, hobby ect to get them out of the house and give them a sense of self.
