Cosmetic procedures are of increasing interest to millennial men, a new industry report found.
Thirty one percent of men said they were extremely likely to consider a cosmetic procedure, either surgical or noninvasive, according to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Among that 31 percent, 58 percent were from 25 to 34 years old and 34 percent were aged 18 to 24 years. Both age ranges are members of the millennial generation.
The top reason cited by respondents pursuing cosmetic procedures to appear younger was wanting to feel better about themselves, followed by the desire to appear less tired or stressed, and then to please their partners. In the 25- to 34-year-old range, 42 percent cited wanting to remain competitive in their career as a reason to go under the knife.
The most common procedures for men are rhinoplasty (nose jobs), otoplasty (pinning back the ears), and treatment for gynecomastia (a surgery that reduces male breast size), according to Clyde H. Ishii, a surgeon and president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Part of the reason young men are increasingly interested in cosmetic procedures derives from social media, said Dr. Fred G. Fedok, president of the academy that conducted the survey. "People are more aware of their looks from different angles," he said. A growing interest in health and self-care also plays a part. "It's sort of like exercise," Fedok said about cosmetic procedures.
Apparently man boobs have gone out of fashion.

You must be young, Azuma.
From quite a long time ago it is known that the internet is the place where men are men, women are men and kids are FBI agents. The emphasis highly likely apply to the post you replied.

Unless given a reason to suspect otherwise I take people at their professed gender online. The tells are usually fairly easy to spot..though, people have said type like a guy sometimes, so I know how it feels to be mistaken and try not to do that to other people.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

Haha. Almost.
If you saw me IRL you would conclude that I were a woman, even to the point of becoming aggressive with me if I needed to take a leak and headed into the men's room. Unfortunately folks, bathroom laws! The men's room is where feminists and Christians want me, so the men's room is where I take a leak. Deal with it.
Unless you want a very interesting court case after you assault me because I entered the men's room. Those bathroom laws gotta be tried in court somehow!
