Imagine that you find a natural method that works, and that isn't talked about a lot. In that case, the method most likely does not carry an inherit risk and does not require any excessively expensive equipment. That means that knowledge is likely the only barrier ( lack of motivation could be another, but that's easier to overcome compared to the barriers of something like surgery).

Think about something simple and that everybody knows about like the gym. Nowadays most people go to the gym or at least do some type of high intensity physical activity. If nobody knew about the benefits of working out but you did, would you want to share it ? Wouldn't you want to be the only one taking advantage of it ? Would you talk about it publicly or only share it with a few people ?

I think the reason most talked about methods here are artificial is not that they are the most effective, but rather that people are more likely to share information and talk about them.

All the most advocated for procedures in the forum are all artificial. Surgery, injectables, implants...

I think talking about these things carries no risk for the people who do it. The barrier with these things is not knowledge but rather inhibition or fear. What I mean is that the reason most people don't go for these procedures is not that they don't know about them, rather they are scared of the inherit risk they carry. Sure, for some of these it's also about money, but it's not like every rich or wealthy person does surgery, and other things like roids aren't too expensive or prohibitive for most.

What I'm trying to say is that talking about these things or educating is not really a risk for the people who do it. Even if more people get to know more about them, knowledge is not enough. You still need money and the inihibition to not care so much about the risks or possible consequences. These things are not for everyone.

Now imagine on the other hand that you find a natural method that works, and that isn't talked about a lot. In that case, the method most likely does not carry an inherit risk and does not require any excessively expensive equipment. That means that knowledge is likely the only barrier ( lack of motivation could be another, but that's easier to overcome compared to the barriers of something like surgery).

If knowledge is so crucial then it's unlikely that someone that knows about it would share it. If you share and people see that it works, because of how mainstream this forum has become and its connection with social medias like TikTok, there is a pretty good chance that it would become a lot more well known. You would break the most important barrier for that method.

I don't really agree with this logic. Mewing was discovered and people only started talking about it in the last years. I'm not saying mewing fixes all your problems, but I'm just showing you an example of something that, especially if started young can give you great aesthetic results but which wasn't talked about before. How can you be sure there isn't something like that that yelds even better results and that hasn't been talked about yet, or is only starting to get out of its niche recently?

I think everything that has been discovered about looksmaxxing has been discovered and discussed on here. It's just regurgitating what's already been known as there isn't much left to discover. People will not gatekeep due to the fact they think it'll give them fame. Roidmaxxing, surgery etc. It's all been found, I doubt there is any significant discovery that hasn't gone public.

You can't just throw shit at the wall and prove that something works 100% all by yourself. You see people debunk/prove various questionable methods all the time, that's what this place is made for

Your logic makes no sense. Unless you can prove what you say scientifically we aren't going anywhere. Anectodes are useless. Like I explained it might just be that you guys are not aware of a better way. The fact that you aren't aware of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The smartest people in the world used to believe with 100% certainty that the earth was flat. Provide a reasonable justification and not just "yeah bro smart people will agree with me" it's just an echo chamber unless you can actually prove what you say
And stop using ai
I'm not using AI, I'm heavily against it. I think it's another reason why people in here stopped thinking indipendently and are just a brainswashed hive mind.

There aren't any esoteric or gatekeeped bs about looksmaxxing, everything that has been shown is all that we have, There isn't much u can do to really change ur looks other than surgery and pharmaceuticals along with some other miscellaneous things
to say otherwise is basically saying we know more than professionals in the medical field
stop coping :feelswhat:

Why not ? If it's a natural method you can just try it and you'll see if it works or not.

I'll make this clear. I'm not coping. I have no problems with my appearance. Started using this forum only recently to discuss different topics, but I've been at this for a while. I'm not looking for new ways to improve myself, I've got all I need. Just trying to make you guys think about things

That said you aren't responding to my point like many others. Can you prove that there aren't other ways ? Or are you just saying that because all the ways you know are artificial ? If that's the case then that could very well be explained by my thread.
 
Why not ? If it's a natural method you can just try it and you'll see if it works or not.
I don't really get which kind of methods are we talking about
Say you've got bonesmashing. Type that word in a search bar right now - there are dozens of threads with completely opposite facts, because it's hard to evaluate the results (you have to take pics at the exact same spots, etc.)

If we're talking about say muscle gain (something very measurable) than you can be sure that everything you could try was already tried a hundred times before you. If someone figured brand new way of gaining by himself (which would be a miracle) it wouldn't be long before someone else discovers it and posts it online for the clout

obv there arent all "artificial" ways of improving urself, simply changing ur diet can have positive effects on skin and overall health which leads directly back to ur appearance, but to achieve a actual ascension ig, most of the time u do need to take more drastic measures like surgery

If you are not dumb you can evaluate results. If you can't evaluate results by yourself, either you aren't very bright, or they are not good enough to make a difference (in that case you would discard the method).

But the people posting it online aren't gonna be from this space. If you are from a community like this you wouldn't want to share a natural method with others. The whole point of this forum is to get information that others don't have access to. If you get that information and then share it with others you have defeated the whole point. I'm saying you guys should look somewhere else for this type of information, because it's not gonna come from here.

Again, you cannot justify this claim you are making, can you ? You cannot prove, nobody can. There is no way of saying "this is the only way to do a certain thing" because that would imply you have all the possible ways in front of you, including the ones you aren't aware of and the ones that haven't been discovered yet, and that you have analyzed all of them. Only then you can say, this is the only way.

All you can say is "these are the only ways that I know of" but then we go back to my point.

Don't think so. I think anyone that is a bit smart would either not share or use his knowledge for economic purposes. The only thing you wouldn't gatekeep is information that is barriered not by knowledge but by things like inhibition, fear or money (like surgery and roids). Those things aren't as easily marketable to a general audience and sharing information about them alone isn't a risk, since most people already know about them like I said.

This is not a justification. You are just saying "I don't know any ways". There is no study that says you can fix a recessed maxilla naturally. There isn't any that says there is a way either. I'm not claiming there is a way, just saying that you cannot say the opposite with confidence either.
 
Imagine that you find a natural method that works, and that isn't talked about a lot. In that case, the method most likely does not carry an inherit risk and does not require any excessively expensive equipment. That means that knowledge is likely the only barrier ( lack of motivation could be another, but that's easier to overcome compared to the barriers of something like surgery).

Yeah that is my point, but most people think that new methods don't get talked about because they don't exist, when in reality it's just that people have no good reason to do it. The only people I can see sharing something like this are the ones that like you said chase some online clout (reps and fame in the forum), but I doubt anyone that needs that kind of validation has what it takes to find something new.
