I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've come to the conclusion that even if you looksmax and ascend to maybe HMTN or HTN, deep down you're still the same incel a few years ago. Same incel who got bullied by a pack of girls for existence, same incel who got played around like a damn fool. Maybe you're happier. I mean, not just maybe. You're certainly happier. But does all that fix the years of mental terror you went thru just because you weren't good looking or tall?
Maybe you'll get LLS, maybe you won't. Either way, it's like PTSD: everyone could brag about all those years just "rolling off" of them, but in reality... you don't suddenly start trusting people, you don't suddenly stop thinking that everyone's a threat to either you or your mood.
Maybe nothing changes after all. It's like getting botched plastic surgery: you might look slightly better, but the battle scars are still there. Perhaps looksmaxxing as a concept is cope since if you're still so fucked up and unable to approach women after having ascended, what really changed? Maybe you get less insults from people, but you don't become brave as shit overnight. Everyone might say "ohhh whatever I'll just mentalmaxx" - that's not a real concept, you don't just forget years of torment.
I think the only reason we (that means you and I) rot on these forums is because we want to be around someone we can relate to, we are scared of being exposed to society's constant torment so we just hang around eachother to hopefully cope.
What do you think? Is looksmaxxing truly cope?
