I dislike pretty boys also.
In a perverse twist I see men taking on all the bad traits of women that feminists have fought against.
I think its pathetic to see people objectifying themselves. Metrosexuals, flaming queers, bling bling rappers, and even body builders all disgust me.
But I think you are confusing violences and fighting with stand up qualities like toughness, (modest)stoicism and responsibility.
Engaging in an exceptional dangerous sport doesnt give you character it gives you injuries.
And even worse getting in fights doesnt make you tough it show you lack self control.
The toughest man I ever knew was my grandad. He was a farmer who had been a coal miner on the side to support his family. The man never complained.
He really was the guy who walked to both school and work through 3 fet of snow, but he would never tell you about it.
But he was also the the least violent,y least prideful man you could imagine.
You dont need to play games where people get hurt or smack someone in the mouth who disrespects you to be a man.
