Group 5: different attitudes to beauty in men and women

Pro:
- from a mans perspective it's an advantage (more respect than they probably should get)
- it's natural, we accept it because it's in so many cultures
- good for selfconfidence
- women allowed to look better than men
- also a man should try to look good in front of a woman

Con:
- prefers man -> women are expected to look young and beautiful
- old men look wise and experienced, old women look like witches
- women don't get as much attention than men
- makes people unhappy with this pressure
- people start to neglect themself
- discriminative tradtition, pressure on women

Additional thoughts:
- difference between men and women, created by upbringing
- nowadays the situation is changing
- now looks are important for both genders
- society should change!
