Ancient Greeks and Romans (as this guy clearly idealizes, considering the pfp) were dandy as fuck, tbh. Gay (or bi) as fuck, too. They liked their masculinity, and they fetishized it arguably a whole lot more than femininity, with predictable (sexual) results.

The "ancient times" this guy so loves, never existed outside his mind- or perhaps they did, but not with the "ancient Romans/Greeks/most ancient 'civilized' folk." The notions of "masculinity" he subscribes to, in fact, would probably have seen this guy derided (accurately in this case) as a "barbarian..."

This guy's notions of masculinity are not only inspired by, if not wholly formed from the "barbarian" asscrack of Eurasia (western and northwestern Europe, though I'd call the genuine barbarism of the west a more recent thing, a product of 500 years of unparalleled barbaric behavior, perhaps much more considering the Crusades, both northern and southern) as the ancient civilizations saw it- but they're inspired by the rot that festered in that asscrack following Christianization, the collapse of the Roman Empire at the hands of "barbarians," and the gradual abandonment of much of the actual merits of that time (hygiene and sanitation, for instance).
