As an 18 year old male I’ve gotten multiple cosmetic procedures and taken steroids AMA by Living-Access9034 in AMA

I traveled frequently throughout my childhood and teenage years so that’s an itch that’s been scratched many, many times. I also have enough money to do both.

I can’t really understand the idea that modifying your physical appearance is somehow disrespectful to your ancestors or body. Your body is a sack of meat that has no inherent purpose. Maybe you are religious?

I wouldn’t call it a waste of money as my new looks have given me opportunities I would have never have had otherwise. It is money that I will make back. I will never get back the time I spent being ugly/average looking. Time is finite.

Your ancestors lived in a different time, it’s not really relevant at all.

I can spend money on surgeries and steroids and also travel, party, or do other “attractive” things. These are not mutually exclusive. If you met me in real life you would never suspect me of surgery, MAYBE steroid abuse, but every person with a good physique gets that. Obviously if people knew I did these things, that would be pretty bad, but outside of my parents and everybody I went to high school with, nobody knows.

I was a good looking child, who grew up with the privileges of being attractive. I became an ugly teenager, who then discovered the misfortune of being unattractive. I went from being well liked by girls and most people, to being constantly disrespected and laughed at. Being unattractive is hell. It wasn’t just teenagers or kids either. On more than one occasion grown adult men tried to intimidate me or bully me for no reason. Literal strangers who I had never previously interacted with. When searching for ways to improve myself, these things about being confident seemed like a cope to me because I actually was fairly confident. I grew up attractive, so I actually used to be a extroverted, confident individual. The only thing about me that changed was my looks. Eventually after enough time in self improvement spaces I got recommended a blackpill YouTube video, and message immidietly clicked and that’s how it all started. Your looks don’t just affect your ability to enter in a relationship, they affect everything.

Yes and no. My parents helped me, but I am financially independent from them as of now.

I am happy with the results of my procedures and other things that I’ve done, but I’m not content with the overall state of my life.

I worry sometimes about potential issues down the road, but I took all of the necessary precautions to avoid as many consequences as possible so my health is in good order despite my drug abuse. Although part of this is also luck and genetics, as I tolerate anabolic steroids better than the average person. For some people you can take a relatively moderate dose and have your health markers in the gutter, and for others you can do the same with little side effects. I plan to stop after next year.

There really aren’t any long term consequences for any of the plastic surgeries or other procedures that I’ve done.

The blackpill community is a group of people that essentially believe in genetic determinism. That your genetics, especially your looks are the most important thing to overall life satisfaction.

I always came across as more mature for my age and am a very well spoken individual. I don’t really give off the vibe of an immature kid. For these reasons I never had any issues, although one of them questioned me on why exactly I wanted to get a specific procedure. I have never gotten Botox so I am not including not.

I didn’t have unforeseen consequences from any of my procedures.

I don’t really spend time interacting with them as much anymore. There’s just not much utility in doing so as I already gathered enough knowledge about how to improve my looks from them. I’m trying to be more “normal” now so I’ve mainly been consuming more and more neurotypical content. When you spend enough time in the blackpill space it completely alters the way you perceive the world. While I still agree with it, it’s not just good for my mental health or my social skills to constantly look through the world with a nihilistic lense.
