Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by five years to become extremely attractive?

You unwittingly imply that I’m not already extremely attractive. I’m not sure how to take that…

No, I wouldn’t give up five years of my life to be pretty. I mean, I’m not extremely attractive. I can look in the mirror and know that. But I’m not a monster, either. Though, when you think about it, some of history’s greatest monsters have been attractive in their own right.

I just don’t think giving up a piece of my life would be worth it to become worthy of being on a magazine cover.

What about you? Wanna give up a few years for a pretty face?
