Hello. Real quick. This was a text I sent to a group chat between my closest friends. That's why it sounds like it was directed to specific people, cause it was xD. Anyways, it's still a thing I think belongs here.

Hey guys. I was thinking (dangerous, I know), is there a thing against admitting the attractiveness of men? What I mean is, if a girl is feeling ugly everyone calls her pretty/beautiful/gorgeous her girl friends, guy friends, parents, etc. If a guy feels he's ugly, the response is more like "no dude. You're good looking/above average. There's like a thing against calling us handsome/hot/charming. I still remember Lilly, Danela and Nicole when they'd just randomly ask dudes: " You have a girl? Why not? You're not ugly." Like. Dude, what? Not ugly. It's to the point where it's up to us guys to compliment each other. There's two main problems with that, we will never be like girls who compliment each other on every picture. The other problem being, as straight guys. We don't want other guys to be complimenting us. Being complimented by a gay guy is kinda cool, but you feel like you're attracting the wrong crowd, and a straight guy complimenting you feels almost empty. Women are considered the representation of beauty. Most of the words we associate with beauty are feminine or better applied to females. Beautiful, gorgeous, pretty, elegant, cute, lovely and graceful will always sound more impactful than handsome or good looking. And using the first set of words sounds wrong when you're talking about a guy. Saying, Maynor is beautiful or Salim is gorgeous, even if you truly believe it, just sounds like a grammatical error. I hate that when society decided masculinity was bad, they cherry picked which parts were bad. Telling us to be emotional without giving the emotional support to help us
