This entire thread is based upon the dynastic cycle. I recall reading about this on a thread, which I can't find any longer.
What is the dynastic cycle?
1. The rise
First began the rise of the blackpill and looksmaxxing on 4chan in the 2010 days.
2. Growth
then lookism.net, looksmax.me(2015-2018) was made. The path/basis/base of looksmaxxing is created: new looksmaxxes are created, rules are made, people start spreading the word.(2021-2023)
3. The peak
2023-2024; maximum efficency, a good amount of users, but not too many. everyone shares looksmaxxing tips and the mods/admins are active. looksmaxxing is excelling, people are doing EVERYTHING to looksmaxx, new theory's are being made.
@Master returns.
4. The rot
Then comes the newer generation; they are arrogant about craniofacial anatomy. They are brash about looksmaxxing; all they know of is what they were told by TikTok.
They blindly and idotically follow what they were told.
But looksmaxing.org(me) isn't about looksmaxxing anymore, its about shitposting, its about making funny jokes, we have lost the plot, the basis of looksmaxxing.
Here's a High quality thread I made, which took me a whole week:
looksmax.org
This is after multiple bumps + multiple tags + multiple requests to sticky.
Now here's one where I just screenshotted something + posted on offtopic
@Alexanderr, one of the admins barely is active, so are mods like @Clavicular or @emeraldglass (still a great mod) or @Orc.
Niggas like @Petsmart or @asdvek can just shitpost some random things and get 20+ reps.
while the people who actually make high quality looksmaxxing guides/theorys are IGNORED. Not given any value.
This site only is here for shitposting, not for looksmaxxing any longer.
After a person doxxes my face, my school, my city, my age.
guess what happens?
Even after I make a PM featuring all sub-admins + admins, and make a whole thread tagging all sub-admins + admins and writing a message on their profile, ALONGSIDE tagging all mods, NO action is taken.
@Master starts putting AD's on the sites.
(much more to cover)
5. Cosmic warnings
.org is flooded with Bots, constantly crashes, constantly servers are down.
6. rebels
Users start leaving + deleting, new forums are created, actual good mods like @SlayerJonas and @TechnoBoss + @Resistance. are removed.
Much more to cover but looking at how bad the site has become and how This thread will slowly go down and get lesser views/reps then some thread which says "I am sexually attracted to my grandma" I put down my pen.
Just take a look at this thread, people will spam DNR,.
TL;DR
over for looksmax.org.
Would also like to take this time to mourn the death of my friend @duckmaxxer , he deleted. i know he wouldve loved to see this thread.
RIP to @duckmaxxer + @haryanvi_incel. You will be missed.
What is the dynastic cycle?
The Dynastic Cycle is a socio-political theory that historians use to explain the rise, peak, decline, and collapse of ruling families throughout history.
It states the 6 era's of a civlization:
It states the 6 era's of a civlization:
1. The Genesis (Rise)
It ends violently a period of battling states in chaos or a decaying old empire. A new leader emerges --- often a charismatic warlord, a brilliant general, or a peasant rebel leader. By successfully unifying the land and crushing rivals, they "prove" to the population that they have successfully claimed the Mandate of Heaven.
2. The Infrastructure Boom (Growth)
The new imperial family works hard to solidify their power by winning over the people. They lower taxes on the working class, redistribute agricultural land fairly, and invest heavily in public infrastructure. They rebuild collapsed roads, clear out bandits, and repair irrigation canals to prevent floods. Peace is restored, and the population begins to grow rapidly.
3. The Golden Age (The Peak)
The dynasty reaches its absolute cultural, economic, and military height. The rulers are highly competent and surrounded by honest advisors. Trade thrives along secure routes, art and technology flourish, and the empire expands its borders. Life is stable, and the people are generally content.
4. The Internal Rot (Decay)
Decades or centuries pass. The newer emperors are born into extreme wealth and isolated inside palace walls. They completely lose touch with the harsh realities of peasant life.
5. The Cosmic Warning (Loss of the Mandate)
The structural collapse of the government coincides with a string of terrible luck. The universe signals its displeasure through major catastrophes: devastating floods, droughts, severe famines, deadly earthquakes, or plagues. Because the government treasury is empty due to corruption, the state cannot offer disaster relief. Millions starve, and desperate citizens turn to banditry just to survive.
6. The Violent Reset (The Fall)
Seeing the government completely powerless and broke, the desperate population launches massive peasant rebellions. Rival warlords step up to seize power, and foreign invaders attack weak borders. The capital is burned, the old ruling family is wiped out, and the country fractures into civil war. The cycle completely resets when one faction finally defeats all the others and starts the loop over again at Stage 1.

The Mandate of Heaven (tianming) is an ancient Chinese political and philosophical doctrine established during the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BCE). It asserts that Heaven grants a virtuous ruler the right to govern, but this mandate can be revoked if the emperor becomes corrupt or tyrannical

- Corruption: Imperial court officials and wealthy landowners stop paying taxes and hoard riches.
- Exploitation: To pay for lavish royal lifestyles, massive palaces, and bloated militaries, the government imposes crushing taxes on the poor.
- Neglect: Public works are abandoned. Dams rot, roads crumble, and the military becomes underfunded and undisciplined.

Let me explain this to you in terms your tiny little brains can comprehend.
Im using the example of a meme, which Is something I believe EVERYONE is or was familiar with.
1. a meme gets made
2. The meme gets spread, perfected and re inforced.
3. Everyone starts using this meme
4. We loose the main point, or the track of the meme; the re-inforcments made seize to exist any longer.
5. your little brother starts using it
6. everyone forgets it

Here's a High quality thread I made, which took me a whole week:
Statusmaxxing, is it really as important as looks?
Nav's Guide On Statusmaxxing & Its importance Thread song Table of contents: Status & Its Types. Importance of status. Examples of Statusmaxxers. How to Statusmaxx. Status Status is a measurement of social value, referring to the relative level of respect, honor, consumed...
This is after multiple bumps + multiple tags + multiple requests to sticky.
Now here's one where I just screenshotted something + posted on offtopic
@Alexanderr, one of the admins barely is active, so are mods like @Clavicular or @emeraldglass (still a great mod) or @Orc.
Niggas like @Petsmart or @asdvek can just shitpost some random things and get 20+ reps.
while the people who actually make high quality looksmaxxing guides/theorys are IGNORED. Not given any value.
This site only is here for shitposting, not for looksmaxxing any longer.

Much more to cover but looking at how bad the site has become and how This thread will slowly go down and get lesser views/reps then some thread which says "I am sexually attracted to my grandma" I put down my pen.
Just take a look at this thread, people will spam DNR,.
TL;DR
over for looksmax.org.
Would also like to take this time to mourn the death of my friend @duckmaxxer , he deleted. i know he wouldve loved to see this thread.
