So 1st question, I like my face I want to pull women, is keeping a reasonable face out of the question in boxing? Or will I get dents in my face, cauliflower ears, and a flat bent nose?

Second question there are some hard hitting experienced guys that enjoy beating the crap out of new guys in my gym, I hit hard as well fortunately but I lack the defensive skill and all around experience/skill that they have. How do I stay as safe as possible from a broken jaw/nose/knockout when facing these guys? (Im a southpaw if that makes any difference)
