Quote from: TheDream on May 20, 2023, 11:44:17 PMPeople will always be supportive to your face, especially women. It is what they say behind your back that is the truth.
Not saying honesty is not the way to go. Just saying, that women appearing supportive when you told them is not always the best evidence to support the claim that there is widespread support for the procedure.
I agree. I think they were interested in me before knowing about LL (they just knew I had a surgery), and it didn't change after I shared it with them. I could obviously be completely wrong, but another LL friend shared somewhat similar experiences.
I think it really depends on how you talk about it, and it also has a lot to do with your mentality and confidence. If you're going to talk about how depressed you were and hated your life, she's probably not going to be very interested in you, LL or no LL. If you were already generally successful in your life and did it because it's something that bothered you and you wanted to improve/fix - it gets a very different perspective.
I remember reading a study about how when a popular kid messed up (like spilled something on himself in class) then he'll get compassion from girls, but if it was someone from the other side of that spectrum - other kids would laugh at him. I think it applies here as well. If someone likes you, after hearing about LL she'll think you are courageous, goal oriented / motivated, and possibly doing well $$$ (since it's not cheap). If she thinks you're a creep, then learning you did LL will only make her think even less of you.
