This my friend is not necessarily true. If you look on T.V. you will see commercials that are aimed towards men about using products that combat the effects of hair loss (Rogaine). And if older men aren't losing their hair it's probably getting gray which is why hair club for men exist. Men, like women are human which means they are prone to becoming self conscious as well no matter how society tries to downplay this fact.
Yes there are some products out there for men but can we say AS MUCH as for women? Watch men tv shows (sports, comedy, etc.) and pay attention to the commercials: beer, pizza, cars, etc. Watch women tv shows and check out their commercials. Flip through a woman magazine and then a men magazine (Maxim, Car Magazine, etc.) and what ads do you see predominant? Look at bulimia/anorexia stats and the vast majority who you’ll see in the stats are women, a small minority men. As for beauty and anti-aging, anti-wrinkles, etc. products we are still quite far from saying that there are as many of those for men. Heck, I don’t remember if I ever saw anti-wrinkles creams/lotions for different parts of the face for men the last time I was in the USA. Ask a men how much they weight then ask a women, how do they normally react to that question?
Do men worry care their appearance? Sure. But do men stress it as much as women? Not sure about that. This is not a good or bad thing.
This is great advice for dating and for life in general. My life got so much better when I stopped worried about making people like me. Now, I just am who I am. I lay my cards out on the table and if I click with someone - great! If not - who cares. My husband loves me just the way I am - flaws and all. My friends, too. If someone doesn't like me because I'm too silly or dorky or clutzy - no biggie. I'm not a cool person - and pretending to be one or trying to be one was just too hard. Funny - but I think more people like me now that I'm comfortable being the quirky dork that I am that ever liked me when I was trying to be something I was not. I think this is true for relationships, friendships, and just life in general.
I went through the same thing in my 30s... I think that is why I am so darn happy now. And yes, I think people like me more now... not caring what others think IS what makes people cool (while still being a caring person).
What you wrote about is the ultimate self confidence and that's awesome!
Well you don't you just will have less choices and missed opportunities.
But if you are lucky like me it will all work out. Since if a woman is willing
to pursue you it likely means they probably really like you.
When did men become such *******? Is it sheer laziness or are men today more delicate and emotional than men in prior generations? Little Girlie-men. I mean there's sensitive, and then there's this whole other level where the man is askeered and passive. I'll tell you one thing: it is not attractive.

I'm having a hard time understanding your logic. Your post hints at if some guys (not all, stop generalizing its unbecoming and a little pathetic) choose to not pursue women they are *******? Interesting. Let's say a guy and a woman meet, they click and everything goes great, the woman is throwing out all the right signals but only keeps the guy around because she likes to be chased. After a few days/weeks/months of chasing said woman the guy notices that nothing is going to happen so he stops pursuing her. Is said guy a "girlie man" because he chose to move on or take a break? Put yourself in a guys shoes and imagine this has happened for years, how would you feel about being the only one doing the pursuing? Posting general blanket statements is apparently the "in" thing now.

Ehhh.... Another one who just can't accept the fact that people are different. How immature. How old are you 4? Why would any man approach you with such a attitude like that?
If a man sees/meets a woman and he likes her or thinks he could like her (assuming he is single and available) and then he does nothing about it, doesn't get her number, doesn't initiate, and hopes (or expects) her to ask him out, expects her to make the first move to initiate a date, and expects her to plan their dates, then yes, I call that passive and girlie-mnan behavior. To me that is a guy who wants zero risk. I'm seeing this happen more often (or reading about it on forums).
If, however, a man has attempted to get to know a woman and asks her out and said woman is not interested or is not reacting favorably to his courtship advances, or they've gone out and she's not accepting further invites, then no, that's not passive girlie-man behavior. That's normal behavior. It means it's not a good match and there's no further use pursuing.
I'm obviously referring to the former.
