What all the ads and whorescopes seemed to imply was that if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, your choice of Scotch in bars - you would meet a beautiful powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat {or stand still}, make you misty, and fly you to the moon {preferably on gossamer wings}, where you would live totally satisfied forever.
The message conveyed by advertisements and horoscopes suggests that by properly managing your personal appearance and hygiene, you can attract an ideal partner—a wealthy, attractive man who will fulfill all your desires. It implies that every aspect of self-care, from your physical attributes to your social choices, plays a critical role in finding love and happiness. This portrayal fuels the belief that external perfection is the key to inner satisfaction.
Such a perspective promotes the idea that a romantic relationship with a “perfect” man will bring ultimate joy and contentment, leading to a fantasy of an idyllic life together. However, this notion can be misleading, as it reduces complex human relationships to superficial criteria and fails to acknowledge the deeper aspects of mutual connection and self-worth that contribute to true happiness.
