The "looksmaxxing" community is a group of mostly young men sharing tactics to improve their attractiveness.
After trying the "soft" version of these techniques for a week, I feel the trend is inherently cruel and harmful.
By the end of the week, I felt like looksmaxxing and its subcultures were a scam designed to reel in young, insecure people.
While this sort of abusive community exists everywhere online, it seems particularly toxic and supercharged among young men.
I found myself feeling sympathetic to the young men who feel like they need to perform these ridiculous rituals to love themselves.
