So is she going to act life his dead wife too?

/Just lay still, honey!

Shades of John Derek. Take a good, long look at Ursula Andress, Linda Evans, and Bo Derek sometime.

Why pay for surgery when if he just killed her she'd resemble his dead wife more and more with each passing day?

Chinese dead wife trifecta coming up? First the ghost bride article and now this.

With the M:F ratio being so skewed there, he should be grateful just to have a wife that's female.

 
Kiribub [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 11:58:34 AM  
That's foul.

A chick I dated a few times dyed her hair to resemble the ex- who I wasn't over, at the time... that was really creepy. I can't imagine why anyone would want that to happen.

 
darkhorse23 [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 12:20:29 PM  
a friend of mine who dated my ex after I divorced him said that he asked her to dye her hair red to look more like me.

She walked too.

Maybe that's why "she" had to have the surgery.

 
serpent_sky [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 12:25:54 PM  
My best friend, who I dated 7 years ago, tends to pick up chicks who eventually try to emulate me. Which is the most illogical thing ever; we broke up because of some serious fundamental differences -- and funny enough? They tend to latch on to the things that led to us breaking up, and not the stuff that keeps us friends.

And it is creepy.

One of them started emulating me on LiveJournal, posting in a similar style, doing some of the weird puncuation things I do, and also, experiencing similar things a day to two days after I did. I made awesome spaghetti? She did. I dyed my hair? She did. I had a headache? She did. It was... insane.

 
muzzrphochr 2007-01-28 12:29:55 PM  
Given the power to do so, I would make all women look just like Lucy Liu!!!

 
Ignorant McNugget 2007-01-28 12:30:52 PM  
What's the point of that? All Chinese women look alike anyway.

/sorry

i try to find girls that are like a particular one of my ex's. tall, smoking hot, and really skinny

Make up for his past mistakes...Like he didn't bludgon her to death quite psyhcotically enough.

serpent_sky, that's kinda disturbing. By kinda disturbing, I mean you should put trip-wires around your house and get a dog. Will probably need some steak too.

Surely you can come up with someone better-looking? I mean, Lucy Liu isn't ugly, but she isn't anything special either. Girls that look like her are a dime a dozen in China.

Plenty of guys, yeah, but not all of them so rich they can pay for plastic surgery like that.

You need to stop prolonging your juvenile relationships and go meet some real adults.

True. They're so similar..

He didn't just break up with her after she actually posted on LifeJournal?

I think he means, why are you still this guy's best friend when he's obviously not firing on all cylinders?

The Chinese are going nuts with plastic surgery. I've read articles about how they'll go under the knife to make themselves taller, Gattaca style, because tall people apparently are more likely to get jobs. They also want to make their eyes less slanted, more "western style".

Here's a somewhat disturbing article...Doesn't just cover China, but elsewhere in Asia too.

retro128: I think he means, why are you still this guy's best friend when he's obviously not firing on all cylinders?

Actually, he's fine, it's just that the girls usually go nuts and act like idiots, then get dumped for it. *shrug*

Granted, but for one Lucy Liu is worth a dime for every one of those girls, and for two, those girls aren't made up of damn near every race going either. You failed to look deeper than looks for my purpose.

/just who would you choose?

Maybe I'm an old fart but who posts their headache schedule on teh intarweb?

Kids these days...

(In case y'all are interested I just took a really great dump. And my calves hurt from yesterday's workout. And my nose itches.)

Make a nice, long post about how you've started cutting yourself. Go into detail about the geometric patterns you've carved into your arm.

Jument: Maybe I'm an old fart but who posts their headache schedule on teh intarweb?

Someone who suffers from severe migraines and is writing in the context of "Sorry to x, x, and x that I didn't make it out, I got slammed by a migraine and couldn't see, then ended up sleeping it off until just now."

dumpstergirl - Excellent idea. She could also try posting recipes that are horrible and say how everyone has always enjoyed them. Something along the lines of spam 'n prune vindaloo.

There was a movie once on HBO about a woman who had a hideously scared face from an accident being given plastic surgeon by a rich doctor with his own clinic for free. She was so grateful that she agreed to marry him and later found out that he new face was that of his former dead wife. Does anyone know the name of it? I was trying to find it again.

 
Valarius 2007-01-28 01:25:44 PM  
I don't know. The first girl I ever had sex with I fell in love with, and she with me. This was partly because I took the opportunity to get better and asked her what she liked, but mostly it was because she was kind and funny and quiet and dignified and a bit of an exhibitionist, like I found out I was. It was just as cool to hug her and make up names of constallations as it was to get a blowjob in the shower.

She wasn't college educated, though I took her to a few of my classes. She was 18 at the time. First criminal justice course I had, she looked at me and said "this isn't that hard, why are you complaining?" I think the teacher was trying not to snicker.

Broke up in 2002. Bad breakup in retrospect. Both of us left the city we met in. She enlisted in the Army. I went from college to college and met a lot of intelligent women who could recite the Constitution from memory and worried that they were too fat for their boyfriends to show any interest. None of them like her.

I think physicall qualities are a hell of a lot easier to emulate than emotional ones. My girlfriend had black curly hair. Lot of women can do that. My girlfriend was interested in me, and so she started to become interested in the classes I was taking. Not a lot of women can do that.

Marry triplets next time and lessen the odds of having to keep marrying again and stuff.

Did you mean to post to MSN Relationships?

Well, I think it's a sweet story and you should go find that girl. Also, what's your schedule like next semester?

The dangers are greatest in places like Shenzhen that specialize in cut-price procedures. "Any Tom, Dick or Harry with a piece of paper-genuine or not-can practice over there," says Dr. Philip Hsieh, a Hong Kong-based plastic surgeon.

Jeez. Can you imagine going in for this, plopping down the cash, and coming out worse than you went in? Completely destroying your chances because you went to a cut rate bastard who had no clue what he was doing? Forced to try to go to job interviews resembling either Frankenstein's Monster or The Joker, as found on the last page?

Dr. Suh In Seock, a surgeon in Seoul, has struggled to find the best way to fix an affliction the Koreans call muu-dari and the Japanese call daikon-ashi: radish-shaped calves.

Uhhh yeah. There's a reason why Asian women have huge thighs. Unlike Western women, they are constantly USING them. You try sitting Asian-woman style for a while, or using their toilets: they don't sit American cross-legged with the weight on their asses, they sit with feet straight back, butt cheeks on heels, balancing their weight through their legs. Toilets? You better be good at squatting-which also builds up the quads.

The 34-year-old homemaker from Hiroshima pulls out a snapshot of a stunning woman in a red kimono. "That's me 10 years ago," she says. She once weighed 40 kilos; today, after having two children, she's 75 kilos. "My husband says he doesn't care," rasps Takemoto, exhaling cigarette smoke, "but when the kids are mad at me they'll sometimes yell, 'buta'"-pig.

That's 88 pounds and 165 pounds, respectively.
And she's doing lipo to shut up KIDS, while she chain smokes? Cue the "Mom-to-be is afraid of jackhammers" American.
