[Two Pronged] My parents want me to be more like my brothers. Is looksmaxxing the way forward?

Rappler’s People section runs an advice column by couple Jeremy Baer and clinical psychologist Dr. Margarita Holmes.

Jeremy has a master’s degree in law from Oxford University. A banker of 37 years who worked in three continents, he has been training with Dr. Holmes for the last 10 years as co-lecturer and, occasionally, as co-therapist, especially with clients whose financial concerns intrude into their daily lives.

Together, they have written two books: Love Triangles: Understanding the Macho-Mistress Mentality and Imported Love: Filipino-Foreign Liaisons.

Dear Tita Margie Holmes and Tito Jeremy Baer,

I am 17 years old, the youngest boy following three older brothers. I follow this column in Rappler and used to follow Sex Talks with Dr Holmes. My brothers only followed your show in HOOQ. I think they found your columns too long.
