Just read your post again.
I think it is more important what you do in the world man. Be a light in the darkness. A lot of people are unhappy, sick, angry or depressed. Be a light for those people. Social media has made a lot of people robots and/or animals. Envy is #1 emotion for a lot of people because of social media. Check out the interview I posted by Sam Vaknin.
Appearance became so important because for the rest people have little development in other aspects of life. Same is said for women. Not just men.
I cannot talk for women but as a man you got to focus your energy outwards. Not constantly being emotionally invested in your image (cosmetics). I think even for women it is bad and cause for most of their unhappiness and wishy washy behaviour. Social media amplifies this. Social media only sees pictures. The rest is not important. A lot of people live in this reality. But you don't have to.
Put the energy outwards. Build things. Build people up. Help them. Etc. Even if you start small. Be a small shock to the system of people who are plugged in.
A lot of society is bad now. It ruins people - depression, anxiety, perversions, etc. Be the change. This for me is the biggest motivation now. Slowly I am starting to see this. And this comes from a BIG NARCISSIST.
People are TOO emotionally invested in their IMAGE because of social media and the (alternative) reality it creates. So they become a picture. Only a picture.
Character is a beautiful thing. When you talk to someone who has been through things in his/her life and became stronger from it. Or just character quirks in people.
But now character is not needed. For both men and women. When dating man and woman come together and they both still crave character but both don't have it. They are too busy looking at their own image or the reflection of that image. They are in love with THEMSELVES not with another human being.
Build a family. Build a business. Or building character through hardship & pushing yourself. A man needs to BUILD.
Men and women are supposed to BUILD a family. But now the family is not promoted (maybe even ANTI-PROMOTION) they just do whatever. This is why women buy cats (fake babies) and guys are depressed and angry. People are LONELY. Get it?
It is all about narcissism and hedonism. What guy would look the best next to me in my narcissistic reality? What girl would look the best next to me in my narcissistic reality?
It is a simulation of natural human behaviour. The further you go away from natural human behaviour the weirder your reality will get. And probably more bleak.
Yes health is important. Health is important to be able to have the energy and motivation to BUILD. Not to be a better picture.
Get balanced, eat good diet and leave it at that. For a lot of people health is narcissistic occupation. They want to attract more by focussing on how their picture looks. But the truth is you will most happy when you are building something externally. This is what moves the world.
This is also why taking something like dutasteride is stupid unless you are lucky and react well to the drug. If not your energy goes down, mood goes down, zest for life goes down, etc. For what? For a better picture? Think about it.
This is not all directed at you of course. You seem pretty level headed guy. But I see this around me and I see it in myself. It is one of the reasons why I worried about hairloss in the past and MAKE bad choices. Even now I exhibit some of this behaviour. But I am working on it.
