I can't shake this growing concern about how "looksmaxing" – that whole trend of obsessively trying to "maximize" your physical appearance through extreme measures like jawline exercises, skincare routines on steroids, or even risky surgeries and supplements – is taking over young people's lives. It's not just harmless advice anymore; it's escalating to a point where it's genuinely damaging, especially for teens and young adults who already feel inadequate about their looks.What alarms me the most is how this didn't used to be the norm. Back before social media dominated everything, people grew up with more realistic expectations. Sure, there were beauty standards from magazines or TV, but they weren't shoved in your face 24/7 with algorithms feeding you endless comparisons. Now, with platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit amplifying these trends, it feels like young people are being forced into this cycle. If you're not "mewing" (that tongue posture thing), hitting the gym obsessively for a chiseled look, or chasing the latest "glow-up" hack, you're made to feel like you're falling behind. Kids as young as 12 are obsessing over their "SMV" (sexual market value) or getting into dangerous stuff like unproven supplements that could mess with their health long-term. It's not empowering; it's exploitative, with influencers and ads profiting off insecurities.I'm not saying self-improvement is bad – taking care of your health and confidence is great. But when it crosses into this hyper-competitive, appearance-obsessed territory, it's toxic. Have any of you noticed this in your circles? How is it affecting the youth?
>>526433223It's extremely feminine behavior. Men attract women by doing things and being strong.
Ill hide inferior genes then act surprised when my kids are ugly as sin
>>526433223It's for fags and other genetic dead ends. Just ignore it and they'll be gone.
>>526433223It starts at the top
This literally doesn't exist outside of the internet, log off Sven, the only traces of it I might see anywhere is the prevalence of lift-wearing but I've guarded against that by buying the Hoka Clifton 10s which confer over 1.5" additional height to my 6'3" barefoot frame, effectively 6'5" in public with postural optimization and careful clothing choices to accentuate my silhouette, so don't worry I'm in the process of mogging all of the college-aged zoomers into submission they'll soon turn away from looksmaxxing once they realize they never stood a chance
>>526433223>>526434270>>526434631>>526435113I’d like to thank you worthless right wingers for doing nothing to break the system or change women. You instead let the manosphere rape your movement and undermine what you believe in. A majority of us came into the right thinking you had a solution. Turns out your solution was just>pander to women harder and act like a self hating simp who enforces the gynocracyNow dating is a zero sum game and women’s standards have grown impossibly higher. Congratulations, you’ve essentially done about as much to help young men as the left has. Expect a lot more disillusioned young men to abandon the right for your lack of solutions. You have no one to blame but yourselves. Enjoy Newsom and the blue wave faggots.
>>526435472Stop catastrophizing dumbass the women will get horny and lower their standards once they realize they're never getting laid
>>526433223Looksmaxers need to just accept that they're gay and move on.
>>526435472>Now dating is a zero sum game and women’s standards have grown impossibly higher.Never took place.
>>526435238 #>This literally doesn't exist outside of the internet, log off SvenMaybe so but my concern is that shit really been spreading like wildfire lately and normie kids are latching on the looksmax culture and lingo and thats it's affecting middle schoolers>>526435472 #Don't steer this thread into right vs left bullshit
>>526436027Gay for themselves. It’s narcissistic self-worship, the same thing women encourage each other to do. Men are beginning to occupy feminine spaces with feminine behaviors, similar to the “beautiful ones” in the mouse utopia experiment
>>526433223>I can't shake this growing concern about how "looksmaxing"I haven't given it a second of my thoughts.
>>526436338This'll resolve itself like every other problem, they'll find it too arduous to keep up with, hang onto the most helpful tenets and eschew the rest in favor of living their lives, the kids are alright Alexanderr worry about your hairline
>>526435472>foids are more important than deporting illegal aliens>im concerned with pussy and being a simp looksmaxxer >heh I dont care about deporting anyone. Im voting democrat I hope illegal aliens kill you and anyone that thinks like you. You deserve it
>>526433223It's gay and women will continue to fuck human snot that is forklift certified.
>>526435472Mindbroken. You're not "in competition" with women.
>>526436338> Don't steer this thread into right vs left bullshitThis isn’t left vs right or some partisan hackery. This is the right being confronted for overpromising and underdelivering. You didn’t do shit to solve the problem despite being given power. We all knew the left was going to blow it regardless, but you guys? You let ladder kicking opportunists subvert your movement and you changed nothing.>>526437199Don’t forget who made your movement.
