Is it a sign of the last days that Korean boys are getting too pretty?

[Hotteok]

Getting too much yin instead of yang? 
It didn’t use to be like this before back in 70’s and 80’s when men were … really males even in their early 20’s (who from today’s beauty perspective look very old or mature and not at all related to prettiness) tough bodies and tough minds. (All of whom served in the army for 3 years as a mandatory, abusing and being abused. Now it’s 18months.)

(Pls understand that there’s no science in yin and yang. Maybe there is, no evidence anyway.) 

 

whereas, I’ve always thought that western people have lots of yang, tough and manly.

 

But are there more and more pretty boys in western countries too? Is it a sign of the last days or is it just happening for whatever reasons?

 

ah, one more thing.

Kids these days have too many misplaced wisdom teeth. I took out all of my four by surgery, it hurt a lot.

Most people in my parents’ generation have normal wisdom teeth.

Even I might look a bit girlish from the older people’s perspective but not as pretty as boys nowadays.

Do you mean androgynous because of surgery ?

I just searched that word and yuck, no. That would be more common in Thailand.

I mean, boys around 15-25 age who have small, white faces and big eyes.. just looking pretty you know.

I'm talking about androgynous, not trans.

Androgynous, meaning, for a male, having a more feminine face thanks to cosmetic surgery (not going full trans)

No they naturally look feminine.

There are many fashion trends that cause shock and horror in the less 'trendy' among us, but rarely do they make it into the book of Revelations.

[EccentricM]

There is a "feminisation" of men in the last few years.

 

Some people think its genetic, or due to diet, or even just culture.

 

By "sign of the days", well, all we have to do is read the scriptures and see if it's in there.

 

We know people "exchange natural affections for unnatural ones", whether make feminisation is part of it, who knows.

Thanks for the posts!

But I think (believe) that these changes are rather... genetical than just fashion change. 

[hatcheckgirl]

Well it could well be genetic, as there are many endocrine disruptors in the food chain and exposure to them in the atmosphere.

 

For example, atrazine, a weed killer is a known endocrine disruptor capable of feminizing males - as noted in studies where "Reductions in androgen levels and the induction of estrogen synthesis – demonstrated in fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals – represent plausible and coherent mechanisms that explain these effects."

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960076011000665?via%3Dihub

 

I do not know for sure how it is affecting Asian males, specifically Koreans, but it is plausable that yet again, humans have tampered with things they shouldn't resulting in skewed reproductive health.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32684823/ (Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and male reproductive health).

[Dustparticle]

Have to remember 1 Corinthian 6:9, "... men who submit to homosexual acts.."  Males have "soften" themselves for many years especially 70's and onward.

Have they lived through hard times? If the diet is coarser or requires more strength to eat, wisdom teeth will usually fit in your mouth. Today, food is too soft.

All I know is the girls go wild for the K-Pop boys... and they all look like girls to me.  

 

I do not understand it- but B2K is THE favorite, "go nutty" band of a 26 year old pioneer sister friend of mine. It is my favorite teasing point 😄

I personally agree. I saw lots of African American brothers in the international assembly and wow the build, the aura.

They were MALEs. I'm like a high-school kid compared to them. I can be totally honest.

If my lack of masculinity is a sign of the last days, I hope Jehovah fixes me in the NW!

Goodness! 🤔  They certainly do look like girls!

We also have to "define" what masculine vs feminine is.

 

Is it having muscles? A deep voice? Small eyes? A bulky face? Body odor?

 

Is it defined by your fashion sense, or your interests?

 

It varies from culture to culture. In the UK, men dancing is often considered very "gay" or "homosexual", but go to another country and a man dancing is one of the most masculine activities he can do, and is regarded as a form of courting or attraction.  

 

Some women like men with pretty eyes or "angel faces" as they sometimes refer it.

 

Historically, the colour pink was a man's colour because it reflected "strength" and boldness, whereas blue was for a woman because it reflected calm submission. But now we say "blue for a boy, pink for a girl".

 

In history men wore high heels, as they were for horse riding, and they made the man look taller, accentuating his manliness, so it was seen as masculine for a man to have a high heel on his boot, but now, high heels are for women in most societies.

 

Historically, men wore tights, because he showed off the calf muscle, again, showcasing something masculine, but now women wear them and men don't.

 

 

What we 'can' say for sure is masculine by definition of biological manliness, is:

 

-Tone of voice (as men naturally have deeper voices than women)

-The way he walks (women walk with more hip, because naturally, this reflects child baring, where as men tend to walk more with the shoulders or chest, indicating strength, which expresses the natural order that men are stronger than women).

-Facial hair, which naturally men grow and women do not (usually, though ageing comes into play)
-Muscular bulk (men have more muscle mass than women)

-Height (men are naturally taller than most women)

 

However we see a lot of variety due to genetics of various families compared to another's, but "within" in a genepool, there is more consistency. Environments will play a part, because modern life does not require intensive physical labour anymore, so "if you don't use it you lose it". The "masculine genes" required for living out in nature, are slowly being lost most likely, because we don't use them, so this is genetic adaptation, the loss of these things will make a man more biologically "womanly" (if we go by nature, women are "built" for child rearing and raising kids in shelter, men are "built" for protecting, building and hunting).

 

 

But then we have to ask the question, do these "masculine traits" reflect "morality" in any way? For example, does a short, beardless, skinny man who walks like a girl, gain God's disapproval? Does it make him a homosexual? Or as a man being a woman?  Because that is a different matter altogether, is a "feminine man" who still marries women, "evil" or "wrong"? Is it due to imperfection? Or is it just a result of how we are made?

This is an interesting phenomenon that definitely shows up in the west. Men are becoming more like Women, and Women like men. By that I don’t really mean appearance, but personality wise. 
 

For me I grew up having more feminine traits, I am not an alpha male like my Dad. I am kind of sensitive and emotional for a guy, and I used to like dolls in stuff (at the time I don’t think I knew the difference between boy or girl things). One of my friends on the other hand is a female with more masculine traits, she is a self proclaimed Tom Boy. She loves sports and exercise, action movies, more boyish clothing etc.

 

We didn’t really choose to be like this way, it is just our natural personality that we were born with. I think a lot of it is because of the environment/chemicals we have today messing with our Jene’s. I also have a mild form of autism so I am susceptible to being a little bit different anyway. And honestly I don’t know if I would want to change because it is a part of my personality.

 

There is also a social/ economic side. Feminism is everywhere right now, and they are taking more masculine occupations such as soldiers and construction. But at the same time women are almost being shunned by feminist about being a housewife, like that is below them or something. With the rise of feminism Males are also not interested in marriage anymore because women are becoming more bossy and in a lot of cases can easily win most of everything if divorced, and some men just do not want anything to do with that so they remain unmarried. In this case I think of the scripture of the devil disguising himself as an angle of light, because on the surface feminism looks great, and I have no problem with people making their own decisions, but it is messing with what Jehovah created and it is destroying the family.

That’s why I could never understand why so many older women were attracted to Prince when he was in his prime before he came into the truth because he dressed and carried himself in such a feminine way. He was a good looking guy but I just didn’t get it. Glad he came into the truth and looking forward to seeing him resurrected along with many others 🙂

[Saffron]

I was waiting for it Brother@*Jack*

 

I don't know what it was about Prince, but there was just something about him. My mother was even attracted to him despite his weird little feminine stuff. I can't count how many times I watched Purple Rain as a kid. 🤣🤣

 

Prince had nothing on these K-Pop boys though. At least you could tell he was a man. These boys look like women. 

 

 

[Ishaya]

Its called diversity.

 

Jehovah made humans to look differently according to his pleasures.

 

I know a lot of people desire that korean kind of appearance, but does it really matter how you look?

don't bother answering that,

I know your answer.

 

but to Jehovah,all looks are pleasurable.Everything Jehovah made, it is because he loved it and he loved the looks.

we are manifestation or reflection of Jehovah's diverse pleasures.

 

Unfortunately,So much has changed over time as the world dives deeply into  immorality and depravity.Some  men are now desiring feminine looks in contrast to the ideal huge and muscular physique that typically characterizes a male.

 

But no matter how you naturally look,it is important not to think more of yourself than it is necessary to think, but to think so as to have a sound mind.”—ROM. 12:3.
