Body mod foul

We were watching Dirty Dancing last night on cable because, I dunno, it was novel seeing it in HD. To be honest, it's a fairly big deal in terms of cultural milestones, and I find it hard to outright hate on the movie. It shaped notions of what a romantic story should be for me when it came out (I was in grade 9).

The movie brought back a conversation we had earlier in the week watching a recent DVR'd episode of House, with Jennifer Grey, namely why she got a nose job. Comparing the before and after, we agreed that he natural nose was much cuter. On IMDB, she says she regrets getting the nose job.

The funny thing about women, in my eyes, is that the things that might be considered non-perfect are the things that are most attractive. I mean, when I look at the women I've had relationships with, there's a pattern of "quirks" there... including robust noses, too tall, too short, slightly chubby or skinny, nose rings, interesting hair colors and styles... just things outside of the "normal" range.

I wonder if that's "normal" for most guys' tastes.
