THE GREATEST FOOTBALL ANALOGY EVER
I get press releases.
Sometimes they’re for new books explaining boob jobs via football metaphors.
No, really.
This is my favorite part of the press release:
I can’t say how accurate the book is – in terms of the medical science, female psychology or even the football metaphors.
But I can tell you the promotional campaign involves a lot of cleavage.
To say nothing of the free boob job contest.
I suppose I shouldn’t poke fun. It’s sad that so many women are pressured into being so unhappy with themselves that they’d rather spend a ton of money on plastic surgery to fix what arguably don’t need fixing.
And it’s probably just as sad that there are guys incapable of understanding this unless you explain it in football metaphors.
On the other hand, if yr going to explain the concept of cosmetic surgery as vanity project that puts a premium on fake superficial beauty to conceal a dark inner self-loathing created by the impossible standards of Society At Large that the patient is desperately trying to live up to in the name of conformity and acceptance … well, in that sense football does seem like an appropriate analogy. Or at least a parallel.
But then I would say that, wouldn’t I?
FULL DISCLOSURE: I do know one woman who has had breast augmentation – but that was to get them reduced, and that was largely to do with back pain issues. So I’m not putting down boob jobs when there’s a legitimate health issue involved.
Keep it real,

Dallas Davis is an MIT graduate and a Southern California aerospace engineer who decided to help other men that find themselves in the same position he was in -- a girlfriend wanting implants and not knowing anything about it.
