Thank you for considering taking part in my research!
I am Min, a master’s student from Utrecht University conducting research for my thesis on how young men experience body modification and body images within online looksmaxxing communities.
I’m looking to speak with people aged 18–25 who are familiar with looksmaxxing.
I’m interested in hearing from all types of participants, including:
- Those who have tried high-commitment or physically demanding looksmaxxing methods (i.e., methods that go beyond basic grooming or 'softmaxxing’)
- Those who have considered more extreme methods but have not tried them
- Those who participate in the community but choose to stick to safer/basic approaches
- Those who have left the community or distanced themselves from it
- Be confidential and anonymised (no real names, usernames, or identifying details will be used in the thesis)
- Last about 45–60 minutes, conducted via Teams call and/or email interview
- Focus on your experiences, views, and feelings—there are no right or wrong answers
If you:
- Are 18–25,
- Have experience with looksmaxxing communities,
- And are interested in sharing your perspective,
(P.S, everyone who fit the criteria are welcome to participate!!)
Thank you for considering taking part in my research!
