If you could make yourself look ideally however you want to look, you would stay like that for the rest of your life, and it wouldn't change, but in the process 10 years would be taken off your life, would you do it?
I saw this question on a website once and thought it was really interesting

It would be tempting at first. But no, I wouldn't do it. If I could look exactly as I wanted to, then there would be no need for me to continue cultivating my personality. The main thing I value about myself is my depth. Unfortunately, I can't keep that and become physically perfect. Once a person gets too hung up on appearances, everything else goes by the wayside. What makes me, me would soon be lost. It's just not worth it.
Having 10 years taken off the end of my life would only drive the nail deeper into the coffin. Life is too short, as is. That would be 10 years I could have spent with my family, 10 years I could have been loving my husband, 10 years of books I could have read, 10 years of friends I could have had, 10 years worth of cats I could have saved...the list goes on and on. Besides, once I'd be dead, that gorgeous look would just rot and turn to dust. So, in the end, nothing would have been gained, but everything would have been lost.

I'm happy with the way I look and accept the process of natural aging. Life is precious, I would never give up 10 years of it for anything!

Look any way I want but live 10 years less? Hmmm, not sure that's a good trade off. On one hand appeal to those that only care about your looks and on the other have more time with those that care about you reguardless of what you look like -- think I'd rather spend the time with those that care....

No. I like the way I look. I'm not perfect by any means, but being perfect wouldn't be worth 10 years of my life.

No I would not do it! That is vain. I suppose there are people out there, like someone whose face has been mangled or maybe they were born with a defect, that would do this, and that is understandable. But for anyone else to choose beauty over life, it demonstrates what society has really done to us.

So I would look more Handsome, But at the same time My Handsomeness would be shortened by 10 years. No thanks, But I can't speak for all, Not to be a narcissist but I don't look half bad myself.

no way...we need to learn how to enjoy life and live it to the fullest instead of waiting our time with trivial BS like that.
