Typically, I start my day by checking Looksmax.org—the hub of jawline analysis, hunter eyes worship, and debates over whether your midface ratio is 1.18 or 1.19.
But this morning, something felt off. I logged in and saw that the once-thriving forum, which used to have 1,700 users online at all times, now barely peaked at 655. My hands trembled. My brow ridge furrowed. How could this happen? Where had everyone gone?
I rushed to the mirror, staring deep into my own reflection. Was it me? Had my canthal tilt changed overnight? No. This was bigger than me. The forum—the lifeblood of online face rating, the Wall Street of looksmaxing strategies—was dying.
I called up my girlfriend, who had never even heard of Looksmax.org and still believed in the myth of “just be yourself.” "Babe," I whispered into the phone, my voice shaking. "The forum is collapsing. Where will men go to discuss the bone-smashing theories that Redditors mock but secretly fear?"
"What? It’s 11pm," she muttered. "I need my 16 hours of sleep so I can spend tomorrow ignoring your texts while deciding whether I like curly fries or straight fries better."
I clenched my jaw so hard it increased my masseter hypertrophy by 0.02%. "You don’t understand," I growled. "Do you even know what happens when a forum like this dies? Thousands of men, lost, wandering through the internet with no place to discuss if they should lose or gain 2% body fat for an extra millimeter of facial angularity."
"...Babe, please—"
I hung up on my now-ex-girlfriend and hurled my iPhone into the wall, where it shattered into a pile of other broken iPhones from previous crises—like the time IncelWiki went offline for 24 hours.
Now, I sit here at work, exhausted, staring at my screen. Looksmax.org still lingers, but it’s a shell of what it once was. The golden days are over. And yet, the cope continues.
