Looks maxxing kind of makes sense after this video

[AION]

I was kind of anti looks maxxing until I saw this video:

I'm still against cosmetics for guys though. One can still maxx through natural ways like diet, workout and supplements.

Metrosexuals.

Of course its old mate Orion

LooksMaxxing makes more sense as a social media grift.

When billions of young insecure men are chronically online, someone will invent ways to milk that supply.

I agree with this, which is why I think for someone like Orion it was a matter of time before he jumps on it in some way. Capture the audience while it's hot, ready and there. Smart.

This is a bad take.

Yes, online dating apps are playing a larger role, which are visually driven.

But that does not mean the chief thing women desire from modern men is now their looks.

Online dating apps definitely screwed everything up, though. There is no success in online dating unless you are good-looking. This corrupts men's understanding of women.

It brings out the worst traits in people. All the wrong behaviour is rewarded if the intention is to build something of substance with another being with maturity, respect and gracious connection. The platform removes the context in which human qualities become visible. 

You are very correct that it corrupts men's understanding of the nature of women. You end up in a terrible cognitive echo chamber where confirmation bias destroys truth. Dating apps create conditions where confirmation bias thrives because people receive highly selective feedback and then generalise from it.

I wouldn't say there is NO success in online dating unless one is good looking, but the odds are against you if you do not have that "look" to initiate a swipe right decision.

Who understands women more, the average man today, or the average man in the 90s?

With all the social media toxic manosphere ideologies, definitely the 90s.

There's just too much bullshit online and no direct experience of women.

looksmaxxers would be considered homosexual in the 90s and they would probably be right.

As the most attractive member of the forum, I have watched the video and have to say I agree with everything orion says here.
