Cindy Jackson, Woman With Most Plastic Surgery, Only Dates Younger Men, Is In Mensa (VIDEO)

We first introduced you to Cindy Jackson earlier in the month -- she's the 55-year-old woman who's had the most cosmetic procedures in the world: 52 different nips, tucks and injections over a 23-year span.

On Wednesday, Jackson sat down with Kathie Lee and Hoda to talk more about herself and her body of work (their pun, not ours). Jackson set the record straight on her motivation to keep going under the knife, saying, "I didn't have low self-esteem and contrary to some reports that have been on the internet, I wasn't bullied. I was an art student and I had a very highly-developed sense of aesthetics. Once I learned the rules of classic proportion and what really is attractive about a face from an artistic point of view [according to Da Vinci] and Michelangelo, they made the rules many centuries ago...we all have a template in our brains of what we consider attractive. So when we see a person, anyone, walking down the street, within a split second we know."

She also talked about her relationships -- turns out she's dating someone who's 28 -- saying, "Men are very visually oriented, so I tend to get a lot of male attention and that's great....Older men are in a different mind place than me, physically and mentally. Most older men, my own age, are not doing things I want to do." She added, "I always say I just need a man for one thing -- to operate on me," noting she doesn't use female surgeons.

One other thing: Jackson is a proud member of Mensa (read: she's a genius, in case you were unclear).

Fact Check: As a member of Mensa in good standing I cannot find any evidence to support her assertion that she is a fellow member.

The name Cindy Jackson does not show up in the American Mensa directory database.

(perhaps that is an alias or she was a former member?)

Many celebrities have previously lied about being present of former Mensa members - even when they likely had the IQ to qualify.

She may indeed, however, be a member of Mensa UK.

My apologies to her if this is the case.

Addictive personality. Plenty of middle-age spread and a hint of turkey-waddle, looks like a cute 50.

Plastic people, oh baby now you're such a drag!

She looks great. It's her money and body. I would not personally do it--not into pain.

I am almost 52 yrs old, with not one cosmetic procedure, yet my self esteem is great, and I am at least as happy as she is; no, happier. And when people see me walking down the street, within a split second they know... That I am a nice person that they want to know.

52 voluntary surgical procedures sounds like a form of self-mutilation to me. It just can not be good for your health. It also makes me think that she has a really low self esteem. Kind of sad, really. She might have gotten much farther in becoming more attractive by psychological therapy.

she does look much prettier than she was, but that being said, she's still 55 and will be dealing with that on the inside as she pushes 60. The under 30 guys willing to go along with the charade will be much fewer. Time to get comfortable with who she is on the inside as well.

indeed
i remember a lady of about 65 or so who went on i think letterman. she said she went out dancing every night to clubs and she had a 22 year old saudi boyfriend
her conversation struck me as a little immature so i guess they were on the same level

Mensa should re-rate her.

[Joshua Norton]

I'm not seeing her as a current member in the American Mensa directory.

Unless Cindy Jackson is an alias she is possibly lying.

(or a former member?)

Cindy may be a member of Mensa UK at this time however.

She may not look like a man, but she sure acts like one...

Narcissism at it's finest

and only male surgeons can touch her...misogynistic

[lovegoodclothes]

52 surgeries....wow... but it only made her look a few years younger - about 45... not spectacular at all...

[BabaLou7]

that's because the focus had to be on reshaping her skull

Did else anyone see the movie "Escape From LA"? This lady would fit right into the plastic surgery group...

All the Mensa members I've met have been total nutjobs.

Since the only thing that Mensans have in common is high IQs, it is amazing that you keep attracting the whackjobs.

Same here! Funny...

On the cautionary side, one should not assume that membership in Mensa means someone is a genius. Granted there have been geniuses in Mensa, however what I would consider true genius is even rare for Mensa. Mensa is defined by I.Q. tests. Mensa members rank in the top two percent of those tested. You should realize that being in the top two per cent does not mean 1 in a thousand or 1 in ten thousand. It does mean that Mensa members probably have higher scores than most presidents. But George W. was president, so that's not quite so impressive. It could be extrapolated that Mensa members are smarter than 98% of the populace. However, the true genius lies in those who are 99th percentile plus - the Mensa members who are also eligible to be members of the Prometheus Society (the air is rare up there)

I'll add that being "IQ-intelligent" has never stopped anyone from being stupid.

or narcissistic, or crazy, or unethical, or nasty, or unwise, or immature

I've seen so many women who are really hot, who spend all sorts of money and time on the enterprise, they get attention but not love, and they're desperate and lonely. The desperation is palpable; they feel like their time is running out. And I've told them that the best thing that can happen is for their time to run out. They need to spend time alone, learn to genuinely like themselves to the point that they're going to be reluctant to let anybody disrupt their solitude unless they're really worth the trouble. Then they need to gain 20 lbs and turn 40. Then they will be ready for a real relationship with a real person. While I was young and hot all I got were dating relationships with self-centered hunks, which is probably all I deserved. Now I'm in a wonderful relationship with a loving, caring man, but it took getting over myself on all sorts of levels for it to happen.

A man is never less alone than when he IS alone.
 
I don't remember if that was said by Samuel Johnson or Francis Bacon.
