Serious If only someone told me when I was a young man that looks are important, I wouldn't be an incel today.

If only someone told me when I was a young man that looks are important, I wouldn't be an incel today.

I would have paid attention to my outward appearance by eating right and going to the gym. I would have also paid attention to things like styling and fashion.

Instead, I heard over and over that women care about personality more than looks, and that it's possible to win a woman over by "charming" her. So I naturally didn't feel the need to improve my looks and naively believed that just being interesting and funny would be enough to get a gf. I spent the prime years of my life looking like a hobo at a death metal concert hoping that some woman will just find me interesting and latch on to me.

It was only in my late 20s and early 30s that I realized I was doing everything wrong and desperately started to looksmaxx, but by then it was too late.

Not only was I old, I also lacked the experience required to interact with a potential partner. So even if I met a woman who thought I was interesting enough to hang out with, I was unable to take it further.

yeah
parents teach their children to "looksmaxx" when they are 13

I realized looks matter in my teens, but even then, you can't cheat your genetics. You can't turn a pig into a peacock by putting lipstick on it.
I can put on all the muscle I physically can, get the best hairstyles and wear the best clothes, I will still be universally undesirable.

 

[lifeisfucked215]

Cope. It was over from the beginning. Maybe, just maybe you could've ascended if you did that earlier on-but highly unlikely

 

[lifeisfucked215]

I've been looksmaxxing since I was 15. Its fuckin over

Feel you dude. I'm in the same boat.
I really really wish my dad would've told me stuff about preventing hair loss etc. early on. I kind of feel betrayed by my family in that respect, they knew my looks were deteriorating, they just didn't tell me the truth.

I think I could have improved my appearance and physique by a few points if only I knew the importance of looks during my late teens.

Had that been the case, I would have gotten into shape and looksmaxxed and been in a decent position to approach and interact with women in my 20s.

Instead, I was underweight and dressed shabbily during my prime years, which in addition to my ugly face, repulsed women even more.

Cope, if you're truly ugly none of that shit would do anything. You just sound like a fakecel, GrAY

Yep. I started to work on looks and appearance only in my late 20s/early 30s. Too late. Should have done that 10 years earlier. But I was too naive and blue pilled. I probably had a decent chance to ascend but I screwed up.

As someone whose been looksmaxxing since they were 15, it really doesn't help man. I guess you might feel better about yourself personally. But it won't help you ascend. I have a good body I would say, six back and muscular back and all that. Foids never even look my way

 

[Zogpilled]

unfortunately there’s no going back in time. But you could still geomax or try improving with the limited time left of your youth. Middle age to me is 35 since most men die by 70

My Dad grew up in the 40's and 60's. While he was able to do this with my Mom despite not being a good looking guy, it doesn't work in 2023. Your parents grew up in a different time period but are not capable of understanding how the dating market changed as of recently.

I'm 40+ now. My youth ended a long time ago.

I can see both sides to the argument. I am an example of looksmaxxing being a dud. I started when I was 14 and spent every day on softmaxxing. Years later, nothing LOL. Been rejected EVERY FUCKING TIME. Maybe OP would have had a chance if he started early, did heightmaxxing shit, but we'll never know.

There usually is no way to cheat your genes. No amount of rare oils and other gay products can fix your ugly jawline or bug eyes. Chad doesn't use 30 gay female products to enhance his looks. He unironically just needs to shower.

 

[jonathan_morg12]

I've never looksmaxxed and never plan to. Fuck foods and their preferences. Chad fishing is the way to go.

 

[Friezacel]

If i'd know that i'd so many things differently. Trying to be more NT, maximising growth hormone level in my body, wearing better clothes, getting different haircuts

 

[BELOW_Average_Joe]

I might be partially to blame, there's def things I could've done to change my fate. I consistently barely got any sleep all through puberty and was vegetarian for 9 yrs. Prob affected my growth, as my dad is like 5'11-6ft while I'm 5'9

True I feel cursed down to my core

 

[Todd Thundercock]

I would have gone the escort route on my 18th birthday and saved myself from a lot of mental anguish.

 

[Thaway]

you can't cheat your genetics

 

[StepyAkermanskie]

You would have to start looksmaxxing as a small child (around 4 y.o) to ensure that you will maximise your hight (by a good diet), face look (by not mounth breathing, even during a night), staying away from BPA and plastic to not destroy your hormone balance etc. The later you would start the harder the damage would be to reverse, and let's not forget that you wouldn't be able to do anything that you have due to your genes. So if you would be totally blackpilled even at the beggining of the highschool it would probably be already over
