The Butterfly Effect of Looksmaxxing (UNC WAR STORIES EDITION)

[zerotohero]

Sometimes I feel like an unc telling war stories.

I remember lurking on Lookism.net in 2018, watching FaceAndLMS before looksmaxxing became mainstream, reading about mewing when everyone thought it was schizophrenic, and seeing QOVES back when it was still a niche channel.

I remember when James Sapphire dropped Blackpill Curse, when SyrianPsycho’s glow-up videos started blowing up, and when Clavicular was literally just another guy posting on this forum. I even had the pleasure of talking to him before he got big. JFL.

Now every 15-year-old on TikTok says “mogged”, “hunter eyes” and “looksmaxxing” without knowing where any of it came from. They were watching SpongeBob while all this lore was unfolding.

Anyone else here remembers those days or am I officially forum unc now? JFL

Whenever I hear a forum word used from a normies mouth it irritates me. Maybe that’s just me

I never decided to make an account till this year, but when I was much younger and my cousin who is now 35, showed me PUAhate, Sluthate, and net, it looked and felt much different. I never thought I’d personally get into it my self.

It was already mainstream when I reached it back in May 2024.
Although, I knew about mewing because it went viral in 2022 or 2023.
I’m too young to be a real og though, if I’d been watching FaceAndLMS in 2018-2020, I would have been a blackpilled elementary schooler.

I was 14 in 2022 I did knew about BP creators especially wheat waffles but I thought it was cringe and retarded. I was SUPER duper red pilled because of Hamza Ahmed. Until shit changed because I wasn't consistent to anything in the redpill self improvement bs and I got blackpilled in mid 2023. I haven't really been on forums until then, So I guess i'm somewhat of a newgen in some sense. At least I didn't join 2025 like the retards on this forum

forums were probably way more enjoyable back then. now you just have people getting 8 reps for saying im hungry or some other bullshit.

I’ve been familiar with the community for over a decade. I guess you do have a point since I decided to only go deep into it this year tho.
