Yes, men have certainly become more conscious of their appearance. They are spending much more time on grooming.

Men are not marrying because, for many men, the rewards for getting married are far less than they used to be, while the cost and dangers of it are far higher. Divorce rates are sky-high: 45% of marriages end in divorce, and women initiate 80% of them. Divorce and family law are skewed against the man.
Roughly one-third of all men are open to using cosmetics. 73% of males 51+ said they would not consider using any cosmetics, versus only 37% of males 18–34. Males 18–34 are more open to using products like BB/CC Creams, mascara, foundation, bronzer and concealer.

Targeting specific kids for special attention, gifts or activities. Slowly isolating a kid from family members and friends – physically and emotionally. Undermining relationships with parents and friends to show that “no one understands you like I do.” Gradually pushing or crossing physical boundaries.
Children are often afraid of disclosing the abuse. They may have been told that they will not be believed, or that something about the child “makes” the abuser do this to them. The child may also feel shame, or fear that they will be blamed.
