I agree with Jazz. I don't agree with Jazz. Sorry man.
If a woman does it for herself, then it is OK by me, and I do think they are attractive. Just do. I don't automatically think it means she has other flaws, like in her head, and she HAS to do this to feel good about herself. It's just like you said, you've always felt something was missing. So be it, who am I to judge. Now I've seen women do it because their husband's were so into it, and I think that's why my wife did it the first time (for her ex). Her ex also had his new wife do it too. That's too bad. However, my wife came to like them in time, but she does have self esteem issues too, so I don't think I'll ever get to the bottom of that one. She had them re-done last year because the others were sort of messed up.
Come on Jazz, go easy on us guys that just happen to like them. Most of us don't NEED them, we just LIKE them.
And he's right, don't worry what others think. If it gives you a bit more confidence if you ever end up back on the singles scene, good for you. We all do things that may make us more confident, or at least we should. I'm more confident after losing weight and feel like I could do OK on the singles scene where maybe I wouldn't have before I got into shape (almost said "back into shape", but that would presume that I was to begin with).
Half Missing, To me it makes no difference. That's not the first thing I notice about someone. Personally, I think that women do that for all the wrong reasons, over course in my situation, I feel they do a lot of things for the wrong reasons! LOL You might not get an objective opinion from me!
