Why don’t men at dating clubs take care of their skin when they can afford to give women tens of thousands of yen? There are a few who do, but honestly, they make up 10% at most. Almost none.

They’re covered in spots and wrinkles, with wide-open pores. Once they’re over 40, the effects of aging really show, don’t they?
If they have the money, you’d think they’d pay some attention to that too.
Don’t they feel self-conscious about their unattractive appearance, aside from their clothes, when they’re standing next to a beautiful woman? I’ve always found it strange.

That may be part of it, but I think the main reason is that men don’t wear makeup. No matter how well-groomed you are, you’re already at a disadvantage compared with women if you don’t wear makeup.
Well, these days, makeup is standard for young handsome guys. Us older men need to start wearing it too...

Every time we meet, women always ask me in amazement:
“Your skin is unbelievably smooth—seriously, it’s amazing. You’re like a woman!”
“It’s so fair and soft, and feels really nice to touch.”
“It’s so beautiful. What kind of skincare do you do? Tell me!”
But I’ve never done anything to take care of my skin.
It’s also true that, whether you do anything or not, the results can vary greatly from person to person.
Even when I see celebrities appearing in commercials, I find myself thinking that it’s not really because of the products—they look that way because they’re that person. That’s one reason I never feel motivated to start a skincare routine.
When I thought it might finally be time, I tried using creams and things on my face, but I didn’t notice any results, so I stopped.
It makes me wonder whether it really makes any difference whether you do anything or not.
Still, I figure that once I reach 60, I’ll probably need to start taking care of my skin.

I think it’s because men generally don’t have the habit of taking care of their skin.
Women will do something—even if they don’t have much money, they’ll use inexpensive cosmetics—but men probably just don’t think that way.

I invest around 3 million yen a year in grooming because I want to meet women in perfect condition. By “beauty,” I naturally include things like dental care, building muscle, manicures, hair removal, and so on.
*Once my teeth are taken care of, it’ll get considerably cheaper.*
That said, I spend more than ten times that amount on women, so I honestly can’t tell whether what I spend on grooming is a lot or not.
On the other hand, I don’t spend much on clothes. It’s all about how you put an outfit together, so I’ve never spent more than 100,000 yen on a full outfit, yet I’m always complimented on my fashion sense.
Whether I spend 3 million yen or less than 100,000 yen, women seem to see me the same way.

I think it’s because men aren’t subjected from a young age to the kind of conditioning women get—being told that “if you’re ugly, it’s over.” There’s also the fact that they live in a world where people fawn over you as long as you make money.
As an aside, most men really start to show their differences around age 35. That’s when spots, wrinkles, sagging, and changes in body shape become more noticeable. If they leave them unaddressed, things tend to get even worse in their 40s and 50s.
On the other hand, men who still look good around 35 seem to hold up surprisingly well after that, probably because they’re also more beauty-conscious.

I think it’s because he’s a man. I’d suggest what he could do better, praise him when things improve, and encourage him in a way that keeps him motivated.
