Attractive? I'm an Old Man, I'm a Retired Navy Spook that Served on Ships, I Have Creases in My Face and Head Courtesy of the Top of Steel Doors and Valve Wheels. My Hands are those of an Old Man that was a Navy Typist for 21 Years. Hell Yes I'm Vain but I'm Not "Attractive" Anymore. LOL!

..."The more attractive a person perceives themselves, the less likely they were to wear a mask because they thought the mask made them less attractive. Inversely, the less attractive someone found themselves, the more likely they were to wear a mask, according to the study in the Frontiers of Psychology journal published in late January.
The former group was less likely to hypothetically wear a mask for a job interview, while the latter group was more likely to wear a mask in that circumstance.
"Our findings suggest that mask-wearing can shift from being a self-protection measure during the COVID-19 pandemic to a self-presentation tactic in the post-pandemic era."
For mundane activities such as walking a dog, people were less likely to care about their looks and thus, were less motivated to wear a mask. But those who see themselves as attractive were still more likely to feel the need to make a good impression."
