I had a consultation for plastic surgery today! I think I carry a lil social shame from 'caring so much about my appearance.' I'm not sure I actually mind my appearance so much as it feels incredibly advantageous to be more attractive, particularly if I'm public-facing.

May want to step back from the status optimizing/climbing game for a while, reconsider. Maybe it is a toxic community when you are compelled to rip your body/face apart to appease/manipulate peoples base instincts. How much money/status do you need, to achieve what goal?

I'm familiar with beauty bias. What actual advantages/opportunities might this open up for you when you're already an outlier in looks and smarts. I've experienced communities where beauty status optimizations are a norm and they are miserable places vs status oblivious clusters.
