I've seen many references over the past several weeks to the whole "Looksmaxxing" and "Clavicular" story, but didn't know what it was about. So I did some digging.

Annnnnnd...it's even more stupid than I imagined.

Seriously folks...my country has zipped up its leather jacket, strapped on waterskis, powered up the boat, and is soaring over the shark.

#Looksmaxxing is foolish, IMO, definitely incel 2.0. I say this as someone who’s not attractive, short, and fat and yet somehow never obsessed or concerned about my looks. I never dated model-level women but I still had plenty of girlfriends and even three wives, almost all of whom were intelligent, interesting, and caring.

It surely can’t be that hard that young men need to destroy their bodies.

From bone smashing to chin extensions: how ‘looksmaxxing’ is reshaping young men’s faces

Chiselled jaws, pouty lips, hunter eyes: everything is up for grabs in the quest to increase ‘sexual market value’.

Apparently, Looksmaxxing is the new Peptides is the new Colostrum is the new Cold Plunge is the new Ozempic is the new Low Carb Diet is the new Dr. Cooper's Magical Snake Oil Elixir.

I dunno...if you really want to look and feel better, maybe try exercising, eating your vegetables, and spending some time outdoors???

The irony. He aims to be at the apex of an “ultra-masculine subculture” by “rubbing his face with a frozen cucumber to reduce puffiness…”
Sorry mate, society has become ridiculously image obsessed, and this is so wrong on every possible level…
