College Comp and Research Group Summary September 29, 2016 Beauty has become standardized throughout time and society; men typically aren’t as concerned with their beauty as women. Beauty is not a social need for them. They do not feel obligated to meet certain societal standards. According to Dave Barry, being average does not bother men; average is fine. They do not worry about their appearance, whereas women often feel the need to dress, do their makeup, and do their hair a certain way due to society persuading children to achieve a specific image such as their favorite Barbie doll. Many childhood events and experiences are often the basis of a child’s current image. The event typically interests the child enough for them to adjust their personality or appearance to be equal. Consequently, men and women regard their image differently since opposite genders typically have opposite concerns for beauty. Moreover, men are rarely meticulous about their appearance, because almost no actions are required for preserving a man’s masculinity. “Their primary form of beauty care is to shave themselves, which is essentially the same form of beauty care they give to their lawns” (Barry par. 5). In essence, if a woman asks a man about her appearance, the man must consider his answer wisely. Additionally, beauty has become relative due to society affecting what is considered a preferable or acceptable appearance.
