I view Looksmaxxing as two different concepts:
Looksmaxxing as a verb (methods for softmaxxing and hardmaxxing), and Looksmaxxing as a proper noun(looksmax.org, Looksmaxxing.com, the looks theory, etc., ultimately evidence that your appearance would be improved.)
Truth of the matter is, is that EVERYONE looksmaxxes in some way. Whether it’s going to the gym, having a skincare routine, or even something truly rudimentary as showering, every single person takes steps to improve their appearance somehow.
Looksmaxxing as a noun looks for why we looksmax, and why we view certain things as attractive.
As an example, getting lean.
Looksmaxxing as a verb would look like going to the gym and improving your diet. Looksmaxxing as a noun on the other hand would emphasize that getting lean serves as an indicator of good health, and lowers face fat, therefore improving facial harmony.
Now, let’s extend this even further.
Verb: Forward growth can be achieved by improving neck and tongue posture, using a marpe or getting braces.
Noun: The reason forward growth looks good is that your facial features will be a lot more distinguishable from the side, and a forward grown jawline means your features overall will side more prominently on your face.
Verb: improving your skin can be achieved by developing a skincare routine and improving your diet.
Noun: the reason good skin looks good is because your face looks a lot more hygienic, an indicator of good health. You’ll also standout more since your entire face is clearer.
What happens if with something that can’t be changed?
You’ll only have the noun.
An example being ipd. An ideal interpupilary distance makes you look good because that’s what most people are familiar with.
Being tall is ideal because you automatically stand out a lot more compared to other people, regardless of everything else
An ideal canthal tilt is ideal because people recognize your eyes more than any other facial feature, meaning that they assume your personality based off them.
How about we extend this to a general statement?
Verb: to look good, you must looksmax
Noun: the reason you should look good, is because you’ll be treated better if you did.
This is the most important part. Attractive people are paid more, are favoured more. And most pertinently, loved more.
When the looksmaxxing community shares this, majority of people look at it as a falsehood. Some say it’s arbitrary, which it is, but that doesn’t matter, because everyone has already internalized those beauty.
In the Ethiopian Mursi and Suri tribes, the beauty standard is the practice of putting a circle in your mouth, with the larger the circle correlating with attractiveness.
The reason that most people don’t understand or are confused by this are the beauty standards Looksmaxxing has been molded by, which means that those who choose not follow within those guidelines are abnormal, and ultimately nonsensical.
This can even extend to geopolitical conflicts, and wars. During ww2, Nazis depicted ‘Aryans’ as tall, blonde hair and blue eyes, with clear skin and extremely white skin, with anyone else being subhuman.
While these viewpoints are outdated(DNR + NDR to anyone who disagrees), it ultimately resulted in Germans advocating for the cleansing of people who didn’t match those beauty standards.
Ultimately, Looksmaxxing as a noun is looked down upon because society has to accept that they treat those who don’t confine to their definition of beauty as undesirable.
Lookism is the most common form of discrimination, as it has roots to racism, misogyny, ableism, heightism, fatphobia, and classism to an extent. Looksmaxxing is a response to that, serving as a means to combat lookism
If people had to accept Looksmaxxing as a noun as legitimate, it would mean accepting that these forms of bigotry exist and that them as individuals perpetuate it.
It would mean they would have to give up the comfort of only dating people who are tall, only swiping right on extremely lean people, or only choosing to date a specific race because they naturally can’t fit into those beauty standards. Most importantly, it would mean that they have to accept people who are considered “subhuman” for generations upon generations because they have unchangable traits that they collectively view as unattractive.
Conclusion/TL;DR Looksmaxxing exists as a way to combat oppression, and society ultimately rejects it because it would mean they would have to acknowledge their role in perpetuating said oppression and the need to unlearn it.
