Ideally, the looksmaxing guides in the BOTB should be something that someone with a master's degree level knowledge or higher wrote. That isn't the case. Almost every guide ever posted here...
I also often look back on old guides with cringe, hence why I have revamping many of them. I guess in 6 months, I'll revamp the revamped threads lol.
Of course, the forum is still young and its knowledge, still evolving.
The culture here should be like the a looksmaxing scientific community that can also laugh our asses off at blackpilled humor, which would be different from the current edgy, low quality, zoomer culture with the occasional "kill all jews", "whites are trash", and "fuck niggers".
I would personally purge all threads out of BOTB and re-evaluate each one to see if they're worthy of BOTB. I would need the approval of the moderation and administration team before doing that.
I'd also hike up the requirements for BOTB.
Ideally, the "high IQ" person would be a looksmaxer who has a masters degree level knowledge or above in biology and biochemistry, and is an actually good thinker.
Nobody (that I know of) meets that criteria on this forum.
I'll be purging my own threads I don't see fit from BOTB as we speak.
Core message of this thread
The thread you've shared seems to be a critical self-reflection on the quality of information available in a forum, particularly focusing on the BOTB section and sections related to looksmaxing guides. The author seems to express disappointment in the current state of these guides and the level of knowledge they possess.
Here's a breakdown of the key points made in the thread:
- Doesn't understand or fully understand the biological and biochemical underpinnings of the topic.
- Doesn't demonstrate enough understanding on the topic.
- Poorly explained, not comprehensible to the average person. The threads should be very easy to understand.
- Doesn't understand and write for their target audience.
- Too brief, lacks necessary information.
- Bad formatting and poor writing skills.
- Bad titling.
- Conducted with bad research and sources
- Doesn't cite sources.
- Incorrect information.
- Not actionable for the average person if the thread's intent is to help someone looksmax (we aren't rich, and some people here don't live in first-world nations)
- and more...

The author seems to express disappointment in the current state of these guides and the level of knowledge they possess.
Here's a breakdown of the key points made in the thread:
- Critical Evaluation of Guides: The author feels that the looksmaxing guides available on the forum are not quality enough, lack depth in understanding the biological and biochemical aspects of looksmaxing. They believe these guides are not well-explained and fail to cater to the average person's understanding. Additionally, there are criticisms about poor writing, bad formatting, lack of proper research, absence of citations, and even incorrect information within these guides.
- Self-Reflection: The author reflects on and acknowledges their own shortcomings in relation to the contributions of his guides. They mention feeling cringe about their old guides and express a plan to revise and improve them, even going so far as to re-revise threads.
- Desired Improvement: There's a desire for a better standard in the forum's content. The author suggests purging the existing threads in the "Best of the Best" section and re-evaluating them for their quality. They propose raising the standards for inclusion in this section.
- Ideal Contributor Profile: The author outlines an ideal contributor as someone with a master's degree level or higher in biology and biochemistry, coupled with good critical thinking skills. However, they also acknowledge that such a person might not exist within the forum.
- Community Culture: The author advocates for a looksmaxing scientific culture that embraces both scientific rigor and the ability to engage in blackpilled humor and other enjoyable elements.
