Never heard of him.
“the looksmaxxing space”
Huh?
An 18-year-old who was raised with morals does not give a response like this. He's a good-looking kid. I bet he'll get the chance to "try something new" with the inmate population in prison.
looksmaxxing? I don’t think I want to know.
Vanity maxxing.........
There’s something very weird to start with about a male who gives so much bizarre effort to mere physical appearance.
He goes to all sorts of extreme efforts to try and make his physical appearance ‘ideal’.
Malignant narcissism.
Another huge difference between males and females to mention if anyone ever tells you that males are the same as females.
When women maximize their looks, people take pictures, ooh and ah, interview them, buy the same clothes, talk about them for years....
Come to think about it, isn’t transgender surgery the supermax of looksmaxcing?
Placing values above morals is a sure path to failure and misery.
Values change. Morals don’t.
male bimbos, basically
Are those the guys who tap hammers on their face/skull to make sure the shape of their head is perfect?
Most ‘transgenders’ - and even the more healthy cross-dressers - I’ve seen have looked bizarre, not attractive.
A lot of them seem to deliberately shoot for ‘bizarre’.
The ‘looksmaxxers’ just seem like typical narcissistic gay men.
Just like every other libtard.
Yup.
Exactly.
Apparently so.
Looksmaxxing is an online self-improvement trend focused on maximizing physical attractiveness, primarily among young men, by adhering to strict, often mathematical metrics of male beauty. Originating in incel and manosphere forums in the 2010s, the practice has spread to mainstream platforms like TikTok, where it is characterized by obsessive self-scrutiny, appearance rating systems, and a hierarchy of status based on features like jawlines, canthal tilt, and muscle mass.
The methods are generally divided into two categories: softmaxxing, which involves non-invasive practices such as skincare, grooming, fitness, and "mewing" (a tongue posture exercise), and hardmaxxing, which includes extreme interventions like cosmetic surgery, anabolic steroid use, and dangerous practices such as "bone smashing." While some participants view it as a path to self-confidence, medical experts and critics warn that the trend promotes body dysmorphia, toxic masculinity, and potentially life-threatening health risks due to its rigid, data-driven approach to human appearance.
Wow, I think I lost 10% of my brain cells reading that!
Sub-sub-cults you never knew about.
I do vigorous hill and mountain hikes and go to the gym a couple days a week. Where do I fit in on the scale of maxes? I fear I may be a MiniMax (insider nod to game theory there).
Well, you read more thasn I. I read perhaps 2 lines of the explanation before losing interest. Sounds like I made the correct snap decision. 😁🤙
