Serious Time to Come Clean

[based god gigi]

Alright. Time to come clean.

I’m not who you think I am.

I’m not just another user on this forum. I am not a 17 year old teenage girl. I am not boringgalaxygirl777. Well, I guess you could say I was. My instagram was fake. My TikTok was my nieces. I am actually a 34-year-old freelance journalist named Julie Halpert. For the past few days, I’ve been quietly observing, integrating into the culture, and interacting here as part of a longform piece I’m writing about Looksmaxxing.com—its culture, its language, its obsessions, and its psychology.

Don't get me wrong. This wasn’t meant to deceive maliciously—it was a social experiment. I wanted to understand the mindset from the inside, not as an outsider peering in with a notebook. I’ve studied subcultures before, but nothing quite like this one.

Some of you were funny. Some of you were insightful. Some of you scared me a little. But all of you helped me build a clearer picture of a community that’s often misunderstood or oversimplified.



The article will explore questions like:
- What draws people to looksmaxxing?
- Is it about self-improvement—or something darker?
- How does internet anonymity warp our relationship to identity, self-worth, and beauty?


I won’t name anyone. No quotes will be used without permission. But I thought you deserved honesty before the piece goes out.

You can love or hate me for it—but at least now, you know the truth.

I do not use Chat Gpt for any of my writing, as it is considered improper use of AI in clause 8 of my companies rulebook.
