Gay dudes often take care of themselves in ways straight men don’t. Toxic masculinity is once again responsible for men not bringing out their true potential 😔
Pseudo-straight pseudo-male here, I can say pretty confidently that I don’t think this is a toxic masculinity issue. Literally nobody ever taught me that it was important to be beautiful, I only figured that out myself as an adult.
I honestly think it’s kinda fucked up but it’s really a failing of society as a whole rather than masculinity in general. I find the whole thing really sick and it’s made me a bit antisocial. In public, women smile at me when I’ve shaved my face and they give me dead or suspicious eyes when I don’t. It just makes me feel like everyone is so fake. I rarely shave my face since realizing that because I want people to treat me how they would treat anyone rather than giving me special treatment because they’re vaguely attracted to me. I’ve gotten so sick with this that I find myself treating beautiful people worse. So uhh, factor that into your calculations. Is that toxic masculinity? I forgot where I was going with this.
My overweight fiancé can roll out of bed, without showering or brushing her teeth or anything, smelling like she sucked on a badger’s taint all night and she’s still hot. How many guys can you say that about?
I think that says more about your love for her than anything else. When you’re in deep love with someone, of course you will find them unbelievably beautiful. Don’t you find her more beautiful with each passing day as you fall deeper in love with her?
I’m working in Vietnam at the moment, and there’s a higher proportion of men who present themselves well - tailored clothes, nicely cut hair, clean shaven - and it extends to how they carry themselves.
Being enby with an enby spouse I’m on the edge of lesbianism, but I gotta say a lot of these guys could flex my orientation if they wanted to.
I’ve only met a handful of American guys; they typified everything about men that makes me feel unsafe, and also makes the idea of having any kind of relationship with one nauseating

There’s also the slight differences in the way they carry themselves that you might not consciously notice but your brain definitely perceives.

I’m not getting the comparison cuz, I switched the genders in my head and the answer is still “not many”.

Here in America it seems to be a virtue to be as boring and cookie cutter as possible
