'Looksmaxxing' young men are carving up their faces. Being ugly is a lot easier | Dave Schilling

this looksmaxxing trend is seriously messed up . like, what's next? people getting surgeries just to follow some random influencer's face goal? it's all about validation on these social media platforms... people are so desperate for likes and followers that they're willing to do crazy things with their bodies . and the worst part is, young people like braden peters are getting famous off of this toxic behavior . we need to shift the focus away from physical perfection and towards what really matters: being kind, compassionate, and genuine in our interactions with others .

Wow , this looksmaxxing trend is crazy! I mean, what's next? Injecting fake tan to achieve that "perfect glow" or getting a new face just 'cause it's trending on TikTok? It's like people have lost sight of what's truly important - being happy and comfortable in their own skin. And the fact that some kids are becoming influencers at such a young age is just, like, wow... How can we even start to teach them about responsibility and kindness when they're already making a living off being opinionated?

I'm so worried about these young guys getting hooked on looksmaxxing and steroids... It's like they're trying to buy their way into a fantasy world where everyone's got perfect bodies and flawless skin. Meanwhile, in real life, nobody's actually that flawless... and it's not even healthy!

I mean, what's with the obsession with digital-perfect pics on social media? Can't we just be ourselves and post selfies that are, like, kinda okay? We're living in a world where people are getting million followers for saying ridiculous stuff online... it's wild. And then there are parents who think their kids can handle being influencers because they've got a few thousand subs on TikTok... please!

I wish more people would focus on what really matters – kindness, empathy, and genuine human connections. We don't need social media 'influencers' spouting hate speech or promoting unrealistic beauty standards; we need role models who inspire us to be better versions of ourselves.

I'm low-key worried about these looksmaxxing guys They're literally taking steroids and getting surgery just to fit some unrealistic beauty standard on social media... it's like they're more concerned with their online persona than being a real person And then you got influencers like Braden Peters spouting hate speech on YouTube? It's wild how quickly he's gained a following for his extreme views As someone who's all about embracing individuality and self-acceptance, it breaks my heart to see these young dudes getting sucked into the vortex of toxic masculinity I think we need to start having some real conversations about what it means to be attractive in today's society... not just physical looks, but inner qualities too We can't let social media dictate our self-worth or our values as a society. It's time to shift the focus towards kindness, empathy, and genuine connection

this looksmaxxing epidemic is wild, right? i mean, who needs surgery and steroids to fit in on tiktok? it's like we're more focused on our filters than our futures and yeah, braden peters' hate speech is straight up concerning what's next, kids sharing their toxic views on the world stage? no thanks, let's focus on kindness, empathy, and being weirdly awesome just the way we are
