The modern trend of men being obsessed with their appearance has an immediate parallel with Calhoun’s rat experiment, which I certainly advice you investigate as every change in behaviour from the rats as a result of overpopulation and a lack of outside threats is reflected in modern humans as well, the experiment reached a point where the male rats would do nothing all day except groom themselves and eat as female rats became aggressive and they became passive, these male rats were dubbed “the beautiful ones” and they reflect modern men perfectly. If you are one of these “beautiful ones” I remind you that you are going with the flow like a jellyfish along with a very dangerous current that is this behavioural sink.

    Over-socialization creates feminization

    The internet and modern communication exacerbated Gynocentrism (average women getting tons of messages and romantic inquiries per day online, average men getting nothing)

    I saw a country girl who wasnt half bad looking the other day…her lips were chapped because it’s cold and dry where we live. I was thinking… I apply chapstick almost everyday…I wonder if that makes me cosmetically more feminine than her in some ways.

      I use fucking garden variety hand lotion for chapstick, I only do it or else they crack open, bleed, and smart like a mad bitch. Vanity is for health too, you take care of your body and mind so you can live a long time, push weights, crack skulls, decipher codes, critically think, raise families, retain social bonds, and enjoy God’s creation, and if it means lookin good in the process, why the hell not? But putting pomade in your hair and estrogen binding fragrances on your body? Idk about all that
