“Many of Mr. Latham’s followers are so-called Looksmaxxers, part of a booming digital community of young men seeking to enhance their physical attractiveness. Its suffix comes from the world of role-playing games, in which to “max” means to fully develop⟳ a single character trait, like⟳ strength or wisdom. […] And a frequently alluded-to technique called “bonesmashing,” in which a Looksmaxxer breaks his own⟳ jaw or cheek bones in order⟳ to make⟳ them grow⟳ back stronger, is regarded by many Looksmaxxers as a joke.”

“Promoted by looksmaxxers as a face⟳ hack, mewing has gone mainstream, with more than 1bn mentions on TikTok.”

“Looksmaxxing attaches "scores" to aspects of male appearance, focusing particularly on jawline, muscularity and skin. Looksmaxxers aim to increase⟳ their scores via "softmaxxing" (such as using a gua sha, burning more calories than consumed, or moisturising) and "hardmaxxing" (such as steroid use⟳, hair transplants, or cosmetic surgery).”

“An army of girls and gays—not to mention⟳ admiring looksmaxxers—would kill⟳ to be where I am now, next to Piker, as he pants in a pair of neon shorts with black Calvin Klein boxers poking out and sunlight glinting off the sweat⟳ beaded on his chest hairs.”
