The will to handsome

So what looks like the funny truth is… I think ultimately, vanity self vanity is a virtue. And as a man especially in America, what is one of the greatest compliments one can receive?

A woman saying,

It’s okay,,, he can get away with it because he is handsome.

Super frank, to the point.

To be fair, I think the reason I love being in Asia Southeast Asia so much in Vietnam Cambodia etc.… Even Korea, everyone always tells me how handsome I am. I get that less in America because Americans are less courageous in talking about physical attractiveness especially for men. 

Why

Doesn’t everyone want to be handsome and perceived as handsome? 

How

So the big question then is… What is the philosophy behind handsomeness, and how do we achieve it?

handsome is health

The big one is, health, the great healthiness.

Simple things:

1. Glorious beautiful tan:

being out in the sun more, topless in shorts,  getting more vitamin D, a glorious bronze tan… Increases your testosterone, mood, and physical attractiveness. Why? A) the physiological benefit, and B, also another signal that you’re actually wealthy and rich enough to not have to be an office cubicle slave all day? 

2. Full body tan

 The really impressive one is when you have a beautiful full body tan. Why? If you just have like a Farmer’s tan, maybe it is a signal that, you’re just like a hired worker, and you’re just working outside all day. In modern day society, there’s no real benefit to having a full body tan, besides if you’re like a beach bum, surfing all day.

3. 5-8% body fat

I think another thing that people do not understand is… your bodyfat percentage makes your face look more “chiseled”.

Male fertility?

Perhaps this is the ultimate point… handsomeness in a man signals his fertility?
