looksmaxxing works not because you actually look better but because you start moving through spaces that were previously unavailable to you

like everyone assumes looksmaxxing works cuz u become more attractive and people respond to that directly right. but bro i think thats like the smallest part of it tbh

what actually happens is as ur appearance improves u start feeling comfortable going to places u woulda never stepped foot in before. better gyms, better social circles, better venues whatever. not cuz anyone invited u or anything like that, just cuz ur own perception of whether u belong there changed yk and those environments got completly diferent people in them, diferent norms, different expectations and all that. so ur personality, ur posture, ur whole social behavior starts getting shaped by a completly different input than what u were used to

so the real mechanism isnt even looks then attraction. its more like looks change how u see urself which changes what environments u think u can enter which then changes how those environments reshape u and then attraction comes after all of that meaning two guys who did the exact same looksmax routine could get completly diff results just based on whether they actually started going diferent places or just stayed in the same environment looking slightly better lol like the guy who looksmaxxed and stayed in the same friend group and same routine is getting a fraction of the results of the guy who used it as a entry point into completly diff social contexts

But this literally is the point, no one argues it's only 1 component.

Everyone that's blackpilled doesn't say "You just get girls spawning in your dms after ascending" that's not how it works. However, when you do go out you know that if there is a girl there you'll have a chance.

That's what looksmaxxing is for.

Also, concluding that the real mechanism isn't looks is a complete fallacy. Things can be multi-factorial, just because 1 thing leads to another, it doesn't mean the other isn't a necessary bi-condition.

JFL fair enough

The main consensus within looking better and looksmaxing isn’t just “oh you look better now your gonna have an amazing life” it’s essentially basically just what you said it opens more door ways in life, think of it as the butterfly effect maybe you got one job now that you wouldn’t have prior ascension and that job makes you manager - you get a higher paying job due to experience etc. if that makes sense
