What is your take on men's beauty standards, and how much does it vary for you and your friends and family?

Question

This may be a picture of me, but I do feel the beauty stuff coming to me as I get older and look like I have not really aged when you look past my beard and mustache.

Many people I knew from high school who are females and looked like beauty queens don't quite look like that anymore.

However for many of the men in my class who don't do drugs, smoke cigarettes or weed, or drink alcohol, we look pretty amazing even if some of us have at least a small stomach, but then again I am a 6 foot 2 inches guy.

When I say that I feel the beauty stuff coming to me, I don't mean that I wear makeup and stuff like that except for what might become the future myself wearing kabuki makeup if I lose the beard and mustache, or just turn it into a goatee or whatever you call the thin mustache lines going down from the top of my lips towards my chest even if it could be called a Fu Manchu without myself becoming evil like that.

I lived a lifestyle growing up that would not be looked at well nowadays that forged me into a hard to accept love person due to how screwed up the love language I developed from my parents always fighting, and never seeing eye to eye on every single thing that led to abuse of various types to the point that my father was so cruel to my mother that she ended up having an abortion all because my father wanted his garage out where we lived and him not wanting the second baby even after he was a burn victim and lost much of his sperm count from age 12 and on that, you would have thought he would have kept attempting to make babies once my mother was pregnant with me, but no, he got a vasectomy not long after my mother was pregnant with what would have been my sister just to spite her.
