Obsessing Over Your Looks Is Desperately Feminine
 
From the Somme to Selfies
 
In this episode of the Good Life Guys, we discuss modern men’s attitudes towards their appearance. Today, many men seem to be rather obsessed with how they look. In gyms, it is now common to see men unashamedly pouting into the mirror, and taking selfies for their Instagram. Amazingly, these pouting metrosexuals are the descendants of men who fought at the Somme and Verdun! What has gone wrong?! Where has all of this rank vanity come from? Has empty narcissism replaced selfless heroism in the hearts of too many modern men? Guys, listen up; obsessing over your looks is desperately feminine. And it’s unattractive, and it’s lame.
 
Let Her Provide the Beauty!
 
Often, women are attractive when they are pretty, preened, colorful, vivacious, and decorated. But in the modern world, many men are getting confused and believing that they too need to be highly beautified in order to be attractive. But these men are projecting. They are mistakenly imagining that they as men are being judged by the same beauty standards as women. These men imagine that because they find a woman attractive when she is preened and meticulous, that they themselves will be attractive to others if they are preened and meticulous. But men are not judged by the same attractiveness standards as women. Masculine attractiveness and feminine attractiveness are very different things.
 
Many attractive men (Russell Brand, Conor McGregor, and Joe Rogan spring to mind) are not beautiful. But instead, they exude attractive masculine qualities. They are well-presented (capably dressed and groomed), charismatic, confident, and comfortable in their own skin. A man is attractive if he is deep in his masculine. Men don’t bring preened prettiness to the table, women do.
 
Women are Attracted to Masculine Traits
 
It is a big mistake for a man to believe that he needs to be as pretty, preened, and physically meticulous as an attractive girl. A man should not strive to be that. It is inherently feminine to strive for that. Men are judged by different attractiveness standards. So a man can never win that game. He can never be as pretty, preened, colorful, vivacious, (hairless!) as a hot girl!
