    I believe narcissism is at an all time high. Don’t get me wrong, taking care of yourself is important and fitness is to be welcomed. However it’s impossible to ignore the explosion of narcissism that the social media age has created. Has anyone else noticed that every guy on Instagram is a “ fitness instructor” even though most have no credentials. Also in the bio of most young lads and girls is the obligatory “model”, who they are modeling for I’ve no clue, it’s like they just self identify as a model. It’s a narcissistic way of saying I’m gorgeous. Also so many guys have onlyfans pages (which is where you pay them money and you can see them masturbate etc) I swear this is a real thing.
    Also the definition of “good looking” seems to have changed. Duck lips on girls but also this ken doll artificial look on some guys.

    here’s an example. This guy is , of course, a model on Instagram. Sometimes I think yeh he’s good looking but other times I think no he’s looks strange, slightly off. Is he considered good looking these days ??

    every semi attractive girl thinks they're an influencer and I hate that they have to document every moment of their life...this one I know does 10 stories a day when its one of her mates birthday (nearly one every day - how many friends does she have - thankfully I seem to dodge it by hiding my b-day on fb)

    I suppose I better say he's good looking or I'll look like a homophobe.

    Op, this is certainly a bit of an odd thread...have you had a few sherries?

    But I don't think anyone could say that the guy is not a very good looking guy.

    But too perfect in a bland way, but definitely good looking guy.

    Really?
    What does it matter? Relax. Ignore and move on.
