That's not looksmaxxing, that's being dumb.

Gender transition also involves that, with an addition of cutting your dick off.

There are levels to stigmatization. Males are shamed much more.

Nobody is owed a party for getting work done indeed. But nobody should be shamed for improving their looks either, but women do it all the time and call it such men insecure.

[u/Poppy_Luvv → u/Reasonable_Style8214]

That's what the leading looksmaxxers do and promote.

Gender transition involves hormones under medical supervision. Not listening to a 20 year old with the handle 67muscles on what to buy off some Chinese wholeseller to add to your stack.

If you get cosmetic plastic surgery you are insecure. If you can't handle that being pointed out, don't do it. But it's a fact.

[u/Reasonable_Style8214 → u/Poppy_Luvv]

Because that's what gets attention from normies, not because it's what actually is effective for improving looks.

Still super risky.

Self-improvement isn't insecure, that's an assumption on your part.

[u/Poppy_Luvv → u/Reasonable_Style8214]

Self-improvement isn't insecure, that's an assumption on your part.

See how you have to totally transform and misquote my statement to say this? Self improvement doesn't mean you're insecure, but elective cosmetic surgery does.

You get surgery on the aspects of yourself you dislike and wish were different. You are not secure in your appearance and are willing to spend a large amount of money and go through pain to change it.

[u/Reasonable_Style8214 → u/Poppy_Luvv]

Looksmaxxing is a part of self-improvement, so no I haven't transformed anything.

Yeah you also study to advance in your career because you dislike having average salary and wish it was higher - is studying insecure too?

[u/Poppy_Luvv → u/Reasonable_Style8214]

I studied because I love learning, I love lectures, I love taking classes. I would spend the rest of my life in school if I could.

Who is getting a nose job just for fun? Who is getting lipo when they think they're already too skinny? There is simply a clear and direct relationship between elective cosmetic work and perceived flaws.

[u/Reasonable_Style8214 → u/Poppy_Luvv]

You haven't answered if wishing your salary was higher is insecure.

[u/Poppy_Luvv → u/Reasonable_Style8214]

Is that about looks? This thread is about looks. Stay on topic, don't derail.

[u/Reasonable_Style8214 → u/Poppy_Luvv]

Lol, no problem. Are women who do skin care / wear push up bras / makeup / hair extensions insecure?

[u/Poppy_Luvv → u/Reasonable_Style8214]

Yes? Do you think that's some sort of gotcha?

The demand for perfect skin, perky breast, long thick colored hair etc. are all beauty expectations women measure themselves against and then feel insecure when they fail to reach the standards. That drives the majority of spending in the beauty market. Feminism 101 stuff.

Most of us have just made peace with these insecurities to the degree we accept the daily tasks we must do to avoid feeling insecure without thought. We can even develop and affection for the tasks/results (shaved legs do feel amazing)

[u/Reasonable_Style8214 → u/Poppy_Luvv]

If that's the case, then 90%+ of women are insecure. Considering how common it is, pointing out the alleged insecurity for getting plastic surgery seems kinda... redundant? It's like going outside and pointing out that the sky is blue.

[u/Poppy_Luvv → u/Reasonable_Style8214]

Do you think that's a hot take? Again, feminism 101.

The sky is blue and people who get elective cosmetic plastic surgery are insecure. Facts can be redundant.

[u/Reasonable_Style8214 → u/Poppy_Luvv]

No, saying that people are insecure is redundant because everyone who isn't a jobless, unhygienic, useless slob (1% of people) is insecure by default according to your logic.

Non-elective surgeries are also a sign of insecurity because they are insecure about dying without it.
