Summary
FriendZone | Make Friends ⋅ Fun Chill Active Chat ⋅ VC Social Gaming ⋅ Memes ⋅ Nitro Emojis ⋅ Anime hosts a deep dive into the origins of looksmaxxing and its impact on modern masculinity. This community discussion explores whether current trends in male appearance are driven by genuine self-care or underlying social insecurity. Join the conversation as members analyze how societal expectations and cultural figures influence the way young men define their identity today.
In history men were never invested into maximizing their looks, women always have given more emphasis on looks.
For men it was always being successful, powerful and respectable which they considered was the peak of masculine features!!
With the given condition where women are more successful than men, younger men have become confused as to know what really means to be a man!!
So then we got the figure gurus like Andrew tate and others with their own insecure bullshite!!
It's a hard time for young men right now- there is no clear defination of masculinity for them!!
So now men have adopted more feminine approach of obsessing over looks!!
(Not talking about basic care but extensive treatments they are doing right now!!)
Jimmy Carr said it perfectly-" Andrew tate is the idea of a 14 year old about what a man is"!!
What do you guys think??
What it means to be a man lol
Who's confused by that and why
A man is an adult boy ig
He was born a man
Ohh okk,!!
Not some roles or expectations that make him a man
Certainly men do different things and women do different things, always has been the case
Men and women can be mentally similar but both have different journey so we can't really compare
Right
The hottake is about lookmaxxing lol
It depends on the individual
Some look good just as to show that they care about their looks
Yup true!! But surely insecurity was a bug reason for the boom of this thing
Some based on reaction of what they want or get from people
It's all up to you do which ever you want ig
Actually I'd think most people do the looksmaxing thing for another people lol- focusing on how others will perceive them
Exactly true!!
It's social
Sorry society
Well, there is no reason as to not want to look good as you want for yourself
But if you are doing it out of what people would say or think of you
(might be an issue)
Yup!! Agree on that!!
But if you want to max out your looks based on sure, this is what I want for myself totally valid
Society still reacts anyways
Doesn't matter the reason as to why you do it
What we actually should be maxing is health , looks are just appearances , sure a certain cleanliness and hygiene are required , but too much obsession always ends badly
Well you could max out your looks and become more attractive does not mean you shall not give attention to the determining factors- communication, posture confidence etc... because looks might get you the first opportunity with people but if you are a stupid horse than... we gone lol
What if someone doesn't care too much about those
Do you guys ever think of just having fun?
Hmm. Attraction
Let me see
Well hygiene is important
Where I'm from
Trust me attraction does work with what's in your pocket
If you are a guy
Society
I am a antisocial pessimist btw
Without that, your attraction value is based on some luck factor in the universe
If I have lots of funds with me
Yup, well said my man
I can get pretty much any lady
What are those
Insecure People
In simple words
Lol true money is a determining factor- almost like one of the top haha
Well. They have valid reason
For real, alot of factors determine if someone is going to be attracted to you
Looks
