Actor Gabriel Olds take on plastic surgery

This is an excerpt from an article posted on msn.com written by the actor Gabriel Olds. Though some of the things he says are...spicy, i agree with his take on it. Why Men Crave Real (Not Perfect) Bodies Actor Gabriel Olds has dated his fair share of surgically enhanced women. Now he tells us why most men prefer the real deal—"flaws" and all. I’d started to really like Callie.
