... to your exact specifications, would you do it?
In other words, if there was a new technology that was completely safe that could make you look exactly the way you wanted to look from top to bottom... but the one thing it costed you was the removal of your little toe (your choice of foot) :-) .... would you do it? Why/why not? Thanks for answering!

I would do it because I figure if technology was that good, I'd be able to get my little toe back. I know, it's a loophole :) But seriously, if you could avoid the surgical pain and the chance of any complications, I would do it. I need major dental work right now and would love to avoid the drilling and office visits. If I could fix a few other things, I would too, but otherwise if you still had pain, recovery time, etc. then no. I'm not that unhappy with myself and I know the things that need fixing I can fix if I make the effort.

Your little toe is more useful than you think. The foot is basically a tripod, and your little toe provides balance. 80-90 years ago, my grandmother had the tendons cut in her little toes because she was vain and wanted straight toes. It affected her walking forever. Which is to say, don't buy trouble -- unless you are so ugly you scare dogs and small children, there's no need for surgery.
As for me, I'm sure there's "work" I could have done, but I think a lot of those people end up looking a little freakish. I live in Southern California, and I'd say that about one in six women have obvious plastic surgery. Not good. Not for me.

Absolutely. I don't need my little toe to have a happy life, but I NEED companionship and love...and evidently, in order to achieve those things you have to have X amount of pretty and apparently I don't have it.

that guy's right. you have issues. but actually, yea, i would. and i hate myself for wanting that. i feel like such a hypocrite - i always tell other people to cut it out when they complain about what they don't like about themselves. but here i am; i dont know what i like about myself. sure i get told im pretty and all that stuff, but it doesn't make me feel it.
little toe? come on. like we ever see that. mine are always hidden in my chuck taylors.

not clever. walking with out ft could be somewhat confusing and painful. and you hate your ft? how approximately how a lot your going to hate the certainty that as quickly as people see your toeless they are going to be grossed out. and sandels? never have the skill to positioned on them lower back.

No, I wouldn't do it. It wouldn't be worth it. Besides, I'm happy with the way I look.
