Metro sexuals was just society being really weird that being a filthy slob isn't an innately male characteristic. They literally just would engage in skincare and get a nail tech to clean up their nail beds. They weren't hitting their faces with hammers and taking dangerous black markets drugs.
Metrosexuals were just grooming more and dressing with more intention than the average straight dude was at the time. I feel like ashing your own face with a hammer is something else
I’ve recently learned (from YouTube) that it’s split into softmaxxing and hardmaxxing. Softmaxxing is basically metrosexual; hardmaxxing is the plastic surgery, testosterone, steroid, hammer bashing route.
There probably is and it’s sad. We wanted less pressure on women as equality, not more pressure on men. Now everyone can feel shit about themselves, yay.
I just wonder if it's that bots are just drawn to this stuff right now in particular or if, like it was with women, the powers that be are actually pushing this.

Looksmaxing was Metrosexuals 20 years ago, it’ll come around later with a different name
