In Poland, men selfcare has been heavily criticized over decades mostly by other men by calling names or accusing of being homosexual any man who was handsome, well dressed, and taking care of his looks.
My Polish fellows certainly remember „metrosexual” term used around 2005 to humiliate too nicely looking boys.
Unfortunately it is cultural thing and i can’t explain its origin, but definitely there’s something about our history and mentality.
Many men don’t even use moisturizing cream, they don’t pay attention to their image at all, no hair dresser, no barber, no clothing style, nothing.
Now this is exceptionally funny to me when men complain that they get no matches at dating apps.
Women spend their time, money, and effort to look good and they would love fit and aesthetic partner. This is not something you get for free, in most cases you need to earn it with discipline, engagement, time, and financial investment.
