Let’s Take Looksmaxxing Seriously

Sure it is, I see plenty of dudes with unkept facial hair walking down the street.

I also have better style hair in that 2nd picture

The glasses are particularly not great since they are bulky and reduce my facial symmetry. The grey contacts seem to do me well but mileage may vary based on individuals. I got the tip from when I was living with a male stripper in Toronto. 

The jewelry draws attention to me more than having a more bland style.

The shirt is more form fitting.

You don't have to get surgeries to looksmax already by dressing better and optimizing accessories, hairstyle and facial hair will raise most guys by like 2 points. Then the fitness as I mentioned is a big part of it. Surgeries you can go off the wall and do stuff that some will say makes you look worse like Clavicular and his recent nose job. 

 

 

Thats called dressing nice and shaving. Not looksmaxxing. You dont stop looksmaxxing. You need to get surgery to be looksmaxxing.

We already have terms for those two things and its called wearing nice clothes and grooming yourself. 

Looksmaxxing is a new word that means to go beyond that into hurting yourself and doing surgical shit.

All you did was groom yourself and put on a new shirt and take your glasses off.

Now you feel like you have an authority to speak on what looksmaxxing is. 

What you did was just ordinary still that men do and its not called looksmaxxing its called not being a slob.

Looksmaxxing is like a job that you take seriously and are constantly thinking about how to look good and doing it.

Its insanity.

You will do it till you fuck it up.

Its a body dysmorphia. Like trans.

If you admit you are a looksmaxxer you admit you have body dismorphia.

Losing weight is not looksmaxxing, dressing up is not looksmaxxing, shaving is not looksmaxxing, taking off your glasses is not looksmaxxing. None of these maximize your body potential, you need surgery to get the ken doll look. Or whatever Japanese anime characters these people are trying to look like.

All things youve stated are done by the body. To reach maximum looks you need to modify your body not naturally.

The premise is that your body is flawed and must be modified to look its best.

Because thats what the most attractive people do and they make the most money.

If you ever see the celebrities that get weird plastic surgeries and your like oh why did you do that? They are looksmaxxing.

They have brainswashed children into thinking these retards are cool.

Lol.

People be obsessing, trying looksmaxxing.

My GF gives me fashion advice because she thinks I'm outdated 

How I got her with my outdated looks? You'll never know 

Your girl should take care of your looks, you shouldn't. You just follow the rules she gives.

Yes if you want to show up in person especially, you need to make sure you look good.  You do it for others as much as for yourself.

Beauty is not so rigid as to be objective.

Can you show me some historical data and links to support none of this existed prior to you encountering it as trend?

Can you tell me where the basis for these rules came from?

Can you tell me how long they existed for, prior to adoption to faces?

Can you give me some evidence to support that others didn't use any of these concepts previously?

If you could also share how you came to the conclusion these principles made for 'better aesthetics'? How did you get there from the principles? How exactly do these principles enhance appearance? What elements of beauty are they engaging?

How are you deciding what looks better? Who is deciding this?

How does this system account for subjective preference? 

I can give a more detailed response later. 
 

Essentially, noticing these principles is a recent phenomenon. You didn’t see people analyzing each part of a face scientifically 40 years ago. It’s in part due to gender roles changing, plus survival being easier, contributing to men caring about appearance being actually feasible sociologically.

It’s quite easy to see how looks could be objectively studied. What makes men see a woman as hot? (They generally agree). Well, obviously it’s something about the facial features. Same thing with male celebrities. Take an attractive male celebrity and mess around with his face in photoshop. What makes him look worse if you change it? That is a factor in looks. You get the idea.

@AtmanIsBrahman you pure just repeating a claim. 

Can you please support it? 

How are you personally seeing that people weren't analysing each part of the face 40 years ago? Can you please supply some research, or historical timelines for the development behind looksmaxing? Do you realise 40 years ago was 1986? 

Photoshop and it's effects have been replicated with cosmetics for a long, long time. Millenia timescales. 

Can you show me some data that reports all men agree to the same nose being attractive, the same face dimensions, the same geometry? How do you explain beauty preferences that differ across culture and the data available there? 

Can you show me data that confirms all people agree that certain celebrities are attractive? That would substantiate "objective" a bit more.

Repeating statements isn't building as case.
