Which sadly applies to the human condition in general...weird times we are living in.

Now throw the obvious 40+ year old section of women, most of whom have never had the money or ability to get plastic surgery, and you're looking at what's gotta be over 75% of the 18-30 age range getting it done.

I'm not sure that you can assume that. Many older women have money, and plastic surgery has probably come a ways since they were young. Also now they are starting to look older, so they want things to get rid of wrinkles, etc.

I'm sure there's some, but for the most part those women are married or grew up during harder times. Their looks aren't important to them or to society anymore, they're just too old. The point is, 1 in 5 of all Korean women is a huge number of the prime sector that's getting work done, the young women.

Oh come on, people are having fun. Err a little something Americans forgot about decades ago.

Plastic surgery here looks great, I gotta say. The girls work hard at keeping themselves from becoming a bunch of fattie sweat-pant hogs. They are loving it. The guys love it. Cmon, what's so bad about that?
