I think people are being a little hard on this question. While it's true that self confidence and lowering the importance of what people think of you is important, a $1-4k investment to be more attractive is appealing.

Very rarely do we get to trade money for this. You have to go to the gym and work hard, eat like a rabbit, study for hours, and master the art of conversation over a lifetime to "be more attractive". Just because other men don't take the shortcut doesn't mean you can't.

I'd echo other concerns about how it would look long term far more than "perceived vanity".

Thank you. Leaving aside understandable differences in risk tolerance, some people really hate the idea of "shortcuts". Semaglutide is treated like a ticking time bomb, because surely things can't be that simple can it? The universe doesn't care, good things can and do happen.

Same with plastic surgery. If it works, it works and nobody knows anything except that you're looking better and younger. $ for results, but it's not like going to the gym doesn't cost time, money and have risks. I'm obviously concerned about cutting into my face, but it seems like a good trade off. I'm doing everything, including working out.
