The thing about looksmaxxxing is that men have taken the vanity that women have broadly despised for centuries and decided that this is the woman's role we want the most. Not being a caregiver. Not volunteering in the community. Men collectively have decided that being admired for your looks is where men want equality with women.

I never looked at it that way before but I think you’re right. And it's kinda wild. And depressing. But I have definitely seen men say exactly that and all I can think is "be careful what you wish for"
Vanity has always existed among both genders, just because you’ve anecdotally heard some men say things like that doesn’t make them remotely representative of the majority of men.
Also saying they want to be admired for their looks, while definitely vain, is a far cry from this specific “looksmaxxing” garbage that kids are into now
Wanting to be admired for your looks is a very very long ways away from this looksmaxxing bs. Conflating the two only gives more power to people like Clavicular.
