Looksmaxxing Goes Mainstream

But it is what it is, I noticed that there a lot of guys who don't need "Red Pill" but therapy and mental help. I don't mean that as an insult but women isn't SOME guy's problems,

Red Pill Theology is quite similar to Afrocentrism, in more than a few respects

Afrocentrism More Myth Than History, Scholar Says

Black Americans who claim Egypt was a black civilization and the progenitor of Western civilization have created a "therapeutic mythology" but they aren't talking about history, says UC Davis history professor Clarence E. Walker.

Both are "therapeutic", in the most putrid sense of that word. They give their True Believers an overarching theory of reality that makes us "feel good" temporarily, but doesn't actually strengthen us over the long haul

Both are "therapeutic"

Something being therapeutic (whether it's RPT, ASMR or BD-SM) doesn't make them 'therapy', no matter how much some people want it to be considered that.

Many decades ago, Albert Ellis quipped "The problem with most therapy is that it makes you FEEL better temporarily, but doesn't actually get you better". Not much has changed today

It's a mating environment that keeps getting more competitive

Everything said between 0:00-0:56

can be adapted for our purposes

Most men are going through life throwing random darts at a board, desperately hoping it'll land on a proverbial unicorn, who will be a modern day June Cleaver... The most successful guys only bring into their lives women who are down with being a component their brand, and thus susceptible to influence. You know why most men are in highly unfulfilling marriages and LTRs? Because most men are lambs, who serve no other function that being food for the lionesses



Dating and mating is trench warfare, gents... If someone who will swaddle and sing lullabies to you is what you're in the market for, get a nurse maid, instead of a woman

Is that why so many guys are carpet bombing?

Is that why so many guys are carpet bombing?

It's why so many men are retreating into fantasy worlds of video games, Netflix, and Manosphere content. It can be tough out there, thus most folks give way to the initial urge all humans experience when things get tough: We run, hide, and devise rationalizations for doing so

Gen Z men are spending thousands to get that ‘American Psycho’-Patrick Bateman look

Looksmaxxing is all the rage.

Alternative headline for that article: ethnic minorities spending thousands of dollars trying to look more WASP.

Hell, WS's most memorable and oft-quoted sequence

2:42-4:13 is, with some revision, applicable for our purposes:

"Many of the same traits that have been labelled "Toxic Masculinity" by our chattering class-such as vigor and ambiion to do well in life-are, in actuality, GOOD. Vigor and the ambition to do well in life are both rational and moral. More men achieving upward mobility, then becoming solid contributors to our economy and civilization, via Maxxxing in all of it's incarnations, will save the malfunctioning corporation that is The USA"

will save the malfunctioning corporation that is The USA"

What if you don't want to save the USA?

 

[BaronOfHair]

What if you don't want to save the USA?

I (and many of us on SS) live here... "Saving" is a strong word. "Preserving" is more apt

So, what do you want to preserve?

Ujena and Hershey's chocolate, for starters

The mewing thing is interesting. It seems to have some real credibility to it. And nothing wrong with wanting to improve your appearance. Though going as far as cosmetic surgery or obessessing over diet is pointless. All you need to do is eat healthy, get quality sleep, manage stress, and use face lotion and/or sunscreen, the rest is genetic.

What's funny though is if you make yourself look like a Chad with high T but have low T levels you're going to be very jarring.

I take it you've never eaten Belgian chocolate.

I've met an Afro-Belgian woman or two who enjoy cunnilingus

One of the great things about being male, even in this MeToo-contaminated environment we inhabit, is having so many ways to enhance our attractiveness and appeal. Most of which are readily within our grasp, and require us to neither fork over millions, nor undergo highly invasive surgery
