LOOKS WEEKLY DISCUSSION THREAD

Muscletov · 2026-04-18T16:20:04+00:00

No matter how much women try to gaslight us, "men's looks matter" has been considered crazy talk up until very recently and still raises more than few eyebrows in more mainstream spaces, including real life. Big compilation: https://archive.is/CYwOJ

Here's another example, a highly upvoted post on /r/memes: https://np.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/1dubtn5/this_counts_for_everyone/

And here's a study https://www.kaggle.com/code/jph84562/the-ugly-truth-of-people-decisions-in-speed-dating, specifically this part

Females’ stated interest and actual influence of these attributes are all far off, underestimating the power of attractiveness, shared interest, and fun, while thinking and telling people that they want a sincere, intelligent, and ambitious male.

Peptides. I’m going to incorporate all of the peptides into my continuing looksmaxxing journey. Anyone else use peptides?

I think if you browse ppd enough you can probably agree that women do use the word creep in reference to men who are simply ugly at least to some extent, there are threads where even some women admit it its not hard to see.

I think its also interesting to notice how this word creep is a word that is used at least to some extent to refer to sexual predators. This weird gaslighting ambiguity game is something that you really only see women do and it should get called out more

Looks > Personality

Women saying they don’t like shredded guys is equivalent to men saying they don’t find makeup attractive.

BrainMarshal · 2026-04-18T23:42:25+00:00

This fact is evergreen, folks.

What is it about us hairy blokes that makes some women unable to keep the revulsion off their faces while others go into full hungry lioness mode?

Thoughts on this?

Regular-Badger8064 · 2026-04-18T18:07:43+00:00

If you willingly nerf your looks by being overweight/obese you have no room to complain about your lack of good dating prospects. Fat men especially get on my nerves since their biology literally makes it easy mode for them to avoid being big yet they still allow themselves to be just as obese as the average woman who are naturally at a disadvantage.

I already feel like staying slim has always been tutorial mode for me due to the fact that I’m a taller woman so I can only imagine how it would be like for me as a man. They really have no excuse

Meekzzy · 2026-04-19T11:31:00+00:00

Thoughts on this? Hot, off-putting, neutral? Assume it is your wife/girlfriend.

SleepyPoemsin2020 · 2026-04-18T16:11:10+00:00

I wish more men wore makeup and had long hair. With the constant push for men to be more "masculine" - from both many men and women and conservative groups - I recognize I'm unlikely to see this born out in reality. Sad day.

Lemon_gecko · 2026-04-20T17:45:01+00:00

Caring about looks =/= shallow.

Caring ONLY about looks = shallow

ThatBitchA · 2026-04-25T01:22:43+00:00

My husband is aging before my eyes.

It's the sexiest thing to see him change and grow grays.

I feel so grateful to be by his side as we age gracefully together.

I don't think I'd feel the same if I only focused on his appearance when we first met. Because he looks very different now than he did nearly 10 years ago.

Muscletov · 2026-04-25T10:40:43+00:00

Tattoomaxxing as a guy is legit.

Tattoos still have a (faint) edgy image, despite even the most bland and basic people getting inked nowadays. They're "safe edgy", the perfect kind of edgy to impress women.
They're relatively expensive and can be a sign of money and status, especially in less affluent circles.
They signal that you are "trendy" and "with it". Social conformity (being "normal") is attractive to most women, despite them often claiming the opposite.
Many women have tattoos as well and guys having them validates their choice and gives common ground.
A lack of tattoos is sometimes interpreted as being uptight and/or conservative nowadays.

WhiteLotusGauntlet · 2026-04-19T01:42:38+00:00

Going out to any large-scale event just really drives home how there are no ugly women, only fat women.

Like, I don't get the men saying they thought looks didn't matter to women, but I didn't realize growing up just how looks-focused women are.

If women only cared about looks as much as men care about looks, 90% of single women out there would be jumping at the opportunity to pay for the whole date to take me out.

Razon-Literature-800 · 2026-04-21T18:36:35+00:00

I don't doubt women's looks standards have gone up or that they're often coming from an entitled place but damn a lot of dudes simply have no idea what looks good and we're not talking about male vs female gaze type shit. Our fat degenerate culture literally spawning armies of hard-coping NPC chubs talkin about anything under 180 lbs being "victim weight" lollll as if that isn't just straight up fat for 99% of men. Downvotes only proving how widespread this delusion and dysmorphia is. If you're 190 you better be sub 15% BF or 6'3" plus - a small minority of men - or trust you look like shit or absolutely invisible.

Proof that the issue is less about genes and more about effort.

FeedCreepy9403 · 2026-04-21T03:00:48+00:00

Weirdly enough really hot women ( hot as in attractive and not sexualized valley girl nonsense ). generally have lower body counts and mental issues. They are the conservative type women.

Its generally the overly liberal or less attractive women who have higher body counts and issues.
This is because women generally dont understand that they all arent entitled to super top of the ladder men. The fat girl things she is entitled to the same men as the model. So ugly women throw out sex more as a way to compete with the hotter girls.

More information on “looksmaxxing influencer” clavicular’s Overdose and it looks worse than 1st reported.

The_WankingBuddha · 2026-04-21T22:34:25+00:00

Was getting drunk last week and came up with a theory:

Every preference you have for a "non-perfect" physical quality is rooted in your own insecurity.

You like dadbods/chubby bodies? - insecure about your own body and want to be the hotter partner in the couple.

You like older men/women? - daddy/mommy issues

Darker skin tones? - insecurity regarding your own skin.

Prefer tall women/short men? - Either insecure about yourself being too tall or too short.

And so on.

So imagine you had the perfect, ideal male/female body - you'd probably prefer a young, fit/athletic, hot partner with perfect face, hair and teeth.

One thing I find kind of amusing is how I can usually guess what mutual friend(s) I have in common with suggested Facebook friends by their appearance/photos. Not 100%, but usually accurately. I have former co-workers; my mom; couple close male friends I've dated or fucked; and current friend group as friends.

Most of my current friend group are musicians, and usually their suggested friends have a photo of them playing or holding an instrument. Carnie type people will be friends of my ex, but occasionally one of the other circles.

The most curious ones are the hot nerds, because a lot of these other connections are lifestyle based even though that roughly shakes out through looks. One of my friends is a hot nerd but like... So many of his friends are also hot nerds. I'm guessing he either went to school with or works/worked with them, but you wouldn't necessarily think nerdy tech guys would self-segregate or associate by looks.

Personally I've always favored a fairly neutral baseline appearance (no tattoos or piercings other than ears) because I greatly value the ability to camouflage. I did have a faux hawk though a couple decades ago that I dyed the tips of. Nowadays I'm natural, which I'm sure signals things about me regardless but still not enough I think to specifically pigeon hole me too much. Probably gives indicators of class and lifestyle more than personality and interests. I prefer to show personality through clothing and accessories, occasionally with hair but nothing that negates my ability to fit into the various groups I want to navigate.

It’s “healthy” when males punch out of their league but it’s “the west hath falleth” when women do the same.

Personality impacts looks.

For women, looks is more of a formula and not just straight appearance.

Ie, y = mx + b

Looks = overall interest/availability (m), personality/chemistry (x) + appearance (face, body language, cleanliness) (b).

mobjack · 2026-04-18T17:11:23+00:00

Looks matter more in online dating. People are making quick decisions based off of static images.

In real life, your personality and confidence is part of your first impression.

A man having a high body count is a must have requirement.

Women will never date a man whose body count is lower than theirs
