The trend I see happening to men:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Softer, more fat<\/a> (more adipose tissue<\/a> on men above 10%).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Less consumption of meat. More trends towards \u00e2\u20ac\u0153plant based\u00e2\u20ac\u009d diets, or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meat in moderation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153only lean meats like chicken breast\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153only red meat once in a while\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, or trends towards vegetarianism or veganism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And on the other extreme … guys and kids and teenagers and everyone in between getting suckered by protein powder, creatine, casein protein, supplements, energy drinks (no sugar), steroids, human growth hormone, gear, testosterone supplements<\/a> (either oral or injected in the left butt cheek), or other weird stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kind of a confused aesthetic. On one hand, to be stylish and cool with street wear clothing from the 90s, one cross earring on the left ear, some kind of weird bleached blonde hair, and it being cool to be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153anti social\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Inability for men to hold eye contact, make an open and candid conversation. Less ability for men to soak lie without alcohol, weed, or other weird drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also modern tastes \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it is inappropriate for a man to be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153masculine\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or to openly process he likes to eat meat<\/a>. Yet in private he still watches sports with a passion, watches UFC fights, jerks off to porn<\/a> (RedTube or YouPorn or Reddit NSFW\/Gone Wild, or Japanese porn torrent off of PirateBay). But appropriate for men to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153flex\u00e2\u20ac\u009d their masculinity via their car (Tesla, BMW, Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc), their bank account or their clothing style, or their watches (Rolex, Panerai, etc). No tolerance for men to be loud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My ideal aesthetics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. More meat consumption<\/a> (5-10 pounds of meat a day).<\/li>
  2. More muscle mass<\/a><\/li>
  3. Less body fat<\/a> (ideally 10% or lower).<\/li>
  4. Less focus on physical stuff to assert ones masculinity. Instead, focus on physical strength, physical grandeur, and Ancient Greek notions of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153arete<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
