    If you need to spend all your time and money to attract someone, you won’t have any time or money to work on the relationship.

    It’s legit misogyny masquerading as a male empowerment philosophy. Without thinking women are shallow robots, there’s no looksmaxxing movement. Incels who are offended by the label in the current climate (which is understandable, what with the mass shootings and all that) are trying to dress up their “women are to blame for my insecurity” worldview as some sort of intellectually-distinct way of being that isn’t just inceldom. It’s essentially a GQ magazine cover image pasted over the front of a 4chan manifesto. The kind of wankers who smoke cigars and wear sunglasses indoors because they have a 13-year-old boy’s conception of what a successful man looks like. They’re torn between hating women, and spending their entire lives being focused on impressing them. They’ll literally hammer their faces and stretch their jaws to become what their primary enemy (women) demands of them. It’s like if a Hamas member started going to temple and grew some payot/sidelocks.

    there’s certainly some value in trying to look more stylish or cuter if that’s what you want to do, but looksmaxxing is a toxic pseudoscience mostly based around factors you have little control over, like height (yes, i know there are ways to increase it slightly, that’s why i said “little”).
