Keywords

💡Looksmaxing

Looksmaxing refers to the practice of trying to improve one's physical appearance, especially facial features, through various methods and techniques. In the video, the narrator tries popular looksmaxing techniques like mewing, chewing hard gum, and using gua sha stones to see if they can enhance his looks. Looksmaxing is associated with online communities of insecure young men who feel pressured to achieve an idealized masculine appearance.

💡Mewing

Mewing is a looksmaxing technique that involves pressing the tongue against the roof of the mouth to reshape the jawline and achieve a more chiseled facial structure. The narrator tries mewing constantly for a week to see if it sculpts his jaw. Though some looksmaxers claim mewing works, experts say there is little evidence for permanent change.

💡Gua sha

Gua sha is an ancient Chinese medicinal practice involving scraping the skin with a smooth stone to improve circulation and relax facial muscles. The narrator finds using a gua sha stone relaxing compared to other intense looksmaxing techniques. Gua sha is promoted to reduce wrinkles and puffiness.

💡Jaw exercises

Looksmaxers recommend chewing tough gum and using jaw exercisers to work out the jaw muscles and achieve a wider, squarer jawline. The narrator tries products like Jawliner gum and a Maya jaw exerciser but finds them uncomfortable. He feels his jaw getting a workout but no visible change.

💡Bone smashing

One extreme looksmaxing technique is bone smashing, which involves hitting the bones of the face with a hammer or rock to break and reshape them. The narrator calls this dangerous and painful. Though some looksmaxers claim bone smashing works, medical experts strongly advise against trying it.

💡Hunter eyes

Hunter eyes is the looksmaxing term for eyes that tilt upwards at the outer corners, considered an attractive shape. The narrator tries exercises like forcefully blinking to create hunter eyes, but finds them uncomfortable. Looksmaxers believe specific eye shapes enhance attractiveness.

💡Online courses

The narrator discovers paid online courses like "Moghwarts" teaching looksmaxing techniques. He sees the explosion of online looksmaxing tutorials and classes as preying on insecure young men's desires to improve their looks.

💡Posture

Looksmaxers claim good posture like standing straight with shoulders back is more attractive. The narrator buys a posture-correcting device that buzzes when he slouches. Though annoying, it works to remind him to stand straight.

💡Off-White coloring

In one bizarre analysis, a looksmaxer praises someone's "subtle off-white coloring" as a positive facial feature. The narrator mocks this precise, technical language used to rate attractiveness.

💡Self-acceptance

Ultimately the narrator concludes looksmaxing often makes people obsess over minor flaws instead of accepting themselves. He says we should embrace unique features, not consider them flaws needing correction to fit an idealized appearance.

Highlights

Looksmaxing is the physical improvement of a person's face and/or body to appear more attractive.

Looksmaxing methods like bone smashing (literally breaking the bones in your face) are very dangerous.

Mewing is pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth to supposedly improve facial structure over time.

I ordered products like chewing gum and a jaw exerciser to work out my jaw muscles.

Trying to walk perfectly upright to fix my posture was annoying and unrealistic.

Staring at myself all week trying to see improvements made me appreciate my unique face.

You shouldn't try to drastically change your appearance - love what makes you different.

I ranked the methods in a tier list - S was relaxing Gua sha stone, F was nauseating gum.

In the end, no looksmaxing method made any noticeable difference in just one week.

It's easy to lie about looksmaxing results to sell products and services.

Be wary of online communities preying on insecurities to push dangerous ideas.

Taking good care of posture and teeth is healthy, smashing bones is absolutely not.

Don't hate yourself or try to force change - your face makes you unique.

Obsessing over slight details of attractiveness is unhealthy for your mind.

Appreciate what makes you different - don't try to make everyone look identical.

Transcripts

this week I'm going to try out the

various methods products and exercises

that the looksmaxing community promotes

to see if it actually has an impact on

my appearance so let's see the

results really quick before the video

starts I just want to let you all know

my comedy special keep busy is now

available to purchase and own on my

patreon you don't even need to be a

member of my patreon to watch the

special you can just purchase it with a

couple clicks and wash it as many times

as you want for the rest of your life

thanks for the support I really

appreciate it also there's a few tickets

left for my shows in Arizona coming up

very soon and I'm doing a HomeTown show

in Hamilton Ontario tickets are

available right now links in the

description thank you so much enjoy the

video folks it's a new year and now is

it time to start setting some goals and

aspirations for yet another trip around

the Sun we've been circling that thing

for years man it's probably super

annoying I feel bad for the guy and I'm

only assuming the son is a boy because

it's not called the daughter whether you

want to read more books this year or

work out a way to never read a book ever

again whatever it is there are tons of

help healthy and productive methods to

achieve your goals but obviously if

you've seen my videos before we're not

going to be talking about any of those

methods today I think a common New

Year's resolution is to take better care

of yourself and in turn you'll look

better and feel better which is great

but I think in the Modern Age with a

NeverEnding onslaught of information

from non-reputable sources paired with

the constant impulse to compare

yourselves to other people who are only

posting the positive aspects of their

life and appearance it creates this sort

of like Perfect Storm where people try

to improve the way they look in the most

harmful ways imaginable which brings us

to today's topic looksmaxing if you've

never heard of it before the most basic

definition of looksmaxing is the

physical Improvement of a person's face

and or body according to an article in

the New York Times the term looksmaxing

has roots on incel message boards and

the manosphere which heavily attribute

romantic success to the perceived

genetic advantages held by tall and

muscular men so in short looks maxing is

mostly done by insecure young men who

are willing to try just about anything

to improve their looks and like I said

there are a ton of healthy proven ways

to improve your health and appearance

but a lot of the look maxing methods and

ideologies are just straight up

dangerous and this trend of looks maxing

has exploded in the past year mainly due

to Tik toks showcasing looks maxing

methods as well as before and after

shots of dudes on their look maxing

Journey like this one here before after

okay aside from the fact that it looks

like an entirely different lens was used

on the camera I think he just got angry

before after here's another example of a

before and after post before hair maxing

skin care maxing shave maxing water

maxing and sleep maxing Jesus man how

many maxing are there I'd assume

all of these fall under the umbrella of

looks maxing but like what the hell man

BR is maxing maxing let's see what he

looks like after because he doesn't look

that bad right now okay yeah I mean it's

different lighting he shaved his face

and he's making a different expression

too sorry for being skeptical right off

the bat it's just funny to me that all

the looks maxing before and afters look

like if you just put one of those

handsome filters on face app on yourself

and dude also the funny thing about this

is like the looks maxing trend is the

most popular with teenage boys AKA dudes

who are currently going through puberty

so it's like yeah man no you're

starting to look different dude it's not

look smack in it's nature dude my balls

started hair maxing last night W but the

people who engage in looks maxing they

make some pretty bold claims there are

people convinced that looks maxing can

literally change the shape of your face

I changed my face from this do that by

using fre simple steps and you can do

that too and gain a more chiseled and

welldefined jawline and not just the

shape like the way your eyes look

literally change everything about your

face with their various methods products

and exercises and it's like why go

through all of that when I could just

pay a th000 gold to Gathol at the Ragged

flagen underneath the city of rifton

know what I mean sorry for gamer maxing

I don't know dude to me the concept of

looks maxing seems a little absurd but

there's only one way to find out if it

actually works so this week I'm going to

try out the various methods products and

exercises that the looksmaxing community

promotes to see if it actually has an

impact on my appearance and I know what

you're all thinking you're thinking oh

yeah good luck improving your face

Curtis you're literally the epitome of

male Beauty and I thank you for it thank

you so much for saying that but believe

it or not there are some parts of my

face that that I would like to improve a

little bit I think we all have that

right I could just say we're all

beautiful the way we are which is true

but I don't want to be beautiful I just

W

to my face could use some improvements

okay when I look back on videos from

like 2019 my jawline went crazy dude the

hell look at that thing that's why I

couldn't grow any facial hair back then

my jaw was like a freaking razor dude

automatically cut any hair that was

trying to grow so I'm genuinely going to

try out these methods this week and see

if it actually does anything but before

I do that we need to learn about a few

of these looks maxing

techniques the number one thing that

look maxers promote is a technique

called meu and no meu isn't just

repeatedly playing the last level of

Pokémon Snap On N64 sorry for gamer

maxing again so what is meing let's find

out is a technique developed by Dr John

Mew where you press the tongue against

the pallet to improve facial structure

and jawline how to Mew close your mouth

place your bottom front teeth just

behind your Upper Front Teeth flatten

your tongue against the roof of the

mouth move the tip of the tongue behind

your teeth without touching hold for as

long as you can or as long as you want

to how muing elevates your overall look

better facial appearance more muscular

facial structure improved Prof profile

look overall appeal improve photogenic

qualities boosted lower face shape and

alignment and I read a lot about me

there's a lot of a conflicting opinions

about it but WebMD says that there is no

serious research that suggests meing can

change the shape of your jawline or help

with other issues experts say it's

unlikely you'll see any permanent change

but WebMD has also told me some pretty

wildly untrue about my body over

the years so I don't know if I can trust

them I typed in tummy a one time on

WebMD and I got a phone call that said

at days so for the next week I am going

to be mewing all day long to see if it

has any impact on my facial structure

funnily enough the last time I was at my

dentist they actually recommended that I

rest my tongue on the top of my mouth

because I grind my teeth so much when

I'm working so if my denst is watching

this video they're probably kicking

their feet right now also now that I

think about it a lot of the looks maxing

videos focus a lot on just taking good

care of your teeth and making them

really white and shiny and clean so I

think dentists are like secret looks

maxers this is a pick of me and my

dentist by the way also dude the

looksmaxing world has like so many

phrases and terms that they use that

I've had to ferociously Google over the

past few days and one of the terms I use

is mogging that word comes up a lot

you'll probably see it in some Tik toks

and stuff so I should explain it mogging

is a verb it's like when you uh compare

yourself to another man and you see them

as uglier or weaker or just inferior in

any sort of way so when you stand next

to them like you're mogging them so if a

look maxer thinks he's uh he's better

than you he'll he'll be like get mogged

and that term created a joke like within

the look maxing Community where people

would say they're going to MOG warts

like Hogwarts the school but it's for

everyone is just their muing the

whole time I guess but the crazy thing

is somebody actually turned the

fictional like satirical MOG warts joke

into an actual online course what the

hell is mwts and why is it $40 after you

join your you're invited to this private

Community if you need any advice you can

post a fret about it or reach out to

teachers like K shami aand or myself if

you want their advice directly they'll

answer your DMs you also get access to a

library for textbooks on jaw eye area

hair and new additions every month then

there's these regular Google meets

classes where you can actually talk face

to face with your teachers to ask them

personalized

advice what is what's going on what are

we doing I I swear to God dudes will

turn anything into an online course this

is a this is an epidemic bro we

enough okay we're done how about no more

no more online courses okay guy starting

online courses is the new yo we should

start a podcast a guy will find like a

$20 bill on the ground and the next day

he'll be like yo just launched my new

online course how to find a $20 bill on

the ground there's only a couple spots

left so click the link get in it costs

only $20 so at the very best case

scenario you'll break even sorry back to

this MOG warts thing it costs $40 a

month to learn how to improve your looks

and as much as I can joke about it like

this is sad this is really sad dude if

there are any young boys watching right

now don't fall for this okay these

are people praying on your insecurities

and it's gross if you're a

teenager you shouldn't even be

worrying about this at all being a

teenager is such a short time period of

your life and it does not matter

trust me just enjoy being an ugly

teenager all right and not to mention

that's nerdy as hell to sign up for an

online course you know what I mean you

already have regular homework you don't

need MOG warts homework too sorry let's

get back to the methods I found another

Tik Tok from this video where he put

what was the best look maxing tip for

you and in Brackets besides jelking and

I've never heard of jelking before so I

Googled it

and I don't want to do that I don't even

want to fully explain it and I don't

even think I could without this video

getting demonetized without getting too

graphic jeling is like if you went to

Subway in ordered a 6 in but then when

you got the sandwich you tried to like

stretch it out into a foot long number

12 that just seems impossible and

also inappropriate for YouTube so I'm

not going to do that another Tik Tok I

saw feature this guy reviewing some

looks maxing products so let's take a

look at

that all

[Music]

right 10 out of 10 I think I tracked

down the exact product that he used it

looks like this Maya Sports JW exerciser

for men and women so I ordered one of

those and I'm going to try it this week

to give my jaw a gnarly workout

and the next object he used is called a

gasa Stone I've never heard of this

before but gasa is actually a

traditional Chinese medicine practice

that dates back like thousands of years

and it's said to have many benefits like

smoothing wrinkles getting rid of

puffiness promoting circulation Etc and

since it's been used in China for like

thousands of years it only makes sense

for white people to be like yo

and check out this brand new thing I

found and pretty much every looks maxer

I've seen recommends using one of these

so I got one yes another pivotal

aspect of looks maxing that is

apparently very important is your

posture I have terrible posture

because I sit at my computer all day

long editing and writing even when I'm

like genuinely relaxing I have the

posture of like a deflated balloon

animal dude it's so sad to look at I

have the posture of a soft penis I

literally look like Randall from Recess

sometimes it's it's rough dude

so I think this is going to be tough for

me to fix that but while I was

researching ways to improve my posture I

found a device that you can like stick

to your back and it like vibrates

whenever you slou so I ordered that one

too to fix my posture and I'm sure this

is going to work wonders and not be

annoying at all and the final product

that looks maxers recommend is chewing

gum but not just any chewing gum hard

chewing gum so I ordered some jawliner

facial Fitness chewing gum as well

realizing now a lot of these products

are uh jaw Focus so by the end of the

week dude I'm going to look like

Crimson Chin dude I'm excited now these

methods haven't been that crazy so far

aside from the jelking but there

are some other looks maxing methods that

are just straight up insane and I canot

make a video about it without addressing

them the craziest one is a method called

bone smashing which is exactly what it

sounds like I don't know how many people

are like seriously doing this but bone

smashing is when you take like a hammer

or a rock or a similar hard object and

literally

break the bones in your face in the hope

that they will heal in a certain way

that will make you look more attractive

which is gnarly I feel like

that's like the human equivalent of when

your computer isn't working so you just

start smacking it in the hopes

that that will fix something and

obviously don't do that and I'm

not going to do that in this video

mostly because I don't think I have the

balls to break my own bone if I

was going to do that I'd have to go to

like a construction site and start

making fun of the workers so

they would come and hit my face for for

me hey nice pylon how about you

all pylon these

nuts here we

go don't worry guys I'm not actually

going to do any bone smashing that's

your mother's job she's smashing my bone

till I gel and the interesting thing

about look smashing is the people who

are into it have a really strange

obsession with their faces looking a

very specific way they the

attractiveness of men on a very

objective level and I'll show you what I

mean I found a really weird Tik Tok

account where they give like extremely

detailed reviews on how attractive

certain men are how attractive is selan

Murphy selan has equal facial thirds

blue eyes with a positive canle tilt low

set thick and slightly positively tilted

eyebrows his jawline visibility is

excellent and he has a wide lower third

he's got high set cheekbones and a good

mid-face ratio he has full lips his hair

texture is good and his skin has a great

complexion okay like what the are

you talking about you sound insane what

are you saying also I'll have you know

at the end of this video they don't even

say no homo so what the like do

people actually judge other people's

attractiveness like this I feel like

this is serial killer right wow

slightly positively tilted eyebrows

equal facial thirds positive CLE tilt oh

my

God look at that subtle off white

coloring like these people are so

obsessed with all having the exact same

type of face is that really the world

you want to live in where everybody

looks the exact same every dude

is walking around with the same

jaw shaped same eyes same lips same

that's boring dude wake up she

we need weird looking all right

we need dudes who look like medieval

babies we need freaks dude we

need straight up oddballs you know what

I mean those are the people you remember

but these looks Masters get

hyper fixated on the features that they

think they need like Hunter eyes for

example it's tough to lock down a real

definition of what Hunter eyes are but I

think from what I've read it's like like

when you have eyes that point like up

like that way like this guy or this guy

or that guy fellas ladies only want one

thing the Green Goblin you know I'm

something of A Mir myself but thankfully

there is a way to get Hunter eyes if you

don't have

them

okay all

right interesting

[Music]

okay all right so pretty much just

finger the hell out of my face I

realized that this guy makes a lot of

videos about how to achieve the the look

smack or look and in another video he

claims that in order to make your face

more symmetrical you need to stop

sleeping on on one side and start

sleeping on your back and I'm just going

to say right now I'm not doing

that I'd rather have the most

asymmetrical face in the world than get

sleep paralysis okay so sorry

you guys go right ahead and you can tell

the Hat man I say get a new hat put the

Fedora down bro you think the hatman in

New York has like a Yankees

fitted on some Tims hey yo let

me get a sleep paralysis the AY

way and this other video I found has

some jaw exercises we can

do all

right okay these seem these seem pretty

doable you got to make sure your parents

aren't home when you do this right they

walk in you think you're getting

possessed the power of Christ compels

you also dude it's really funny I look

through this guy's account and like

every video he's like looking to the

side every video dude it's like

what's the point of improving your looks

if you can't even show all of your looks

right you're just showing the one angle

dude it's really funny to imagine this

guy doing that in real life as well

congrats on getting your license I'll

just need you to look right at the

camera for the picture if that's all

right no I feel like this is fine I'm

sorry man that's the

rules no not just your eyes I need like

all of you I need you to turn to face me

going to be honest bro I don't know if I

can do that look I'm sorry man I don't

make the rules okay

[Music]

fine okay holy are you okay take

the picture all right

man okay I think we've covered most of

the aspects of look maxing I've got a

good amount of techniques methods and

products that I can Implement into my

daily

and I think it's time for me to try

these out to see if it makes a

difference on my appearance I took a

picture of what my face looks right now

so we can compare that to the end of the

week to see if it actually

worked so from now on I'm only going to

break my mewing streak to talk to the

camera okay so see you

[Music]

later so I decided my first day would be

my ultimate Mew day I was going to keep

my tongue pressed to the top of my mouth

all day long everything I did that day I

kept my mouth shut I made a delicious

looking breakfast sandwich but I

unfortunately couldn't eat it without

disrupting my mewing so I just gazed

upon it instead it tasted so good maybe

I watched the movie Salt burn and I MW

the whole time and it's a good thing cuz

that bathtub scene made me puke but none

of it came out of my mouth all day my

wife was trying to talk to me but I

could not falter a man's got a me what a

man's got a Mew I was walking in my

bedroom and I stubbed my toe and I

wanted to scream so bad but I couldn't

mess up my streak so I marched forward

brushed my teeth the best I could then

went to

bed so since I do a lot of videos that

require me to actively engage with

different weird communities on Tik Tok

my for you page is constantly changing

into different versions of uh dog

and the more looksmaxing content I

searched up and engaged with the more

looksmaxing content would would

organically show up on my f you page and

I saw tons of videos dude I even saw a

post from a looks maxer saying that

drinking regular tap water is making us

ugly now I don't think that's true at

all but regular tap water can get pretty

boring which is why I love using today's

sponsor air up folks airup is a

completely new and unique hydration

experience did you know our sense of

smell is responsible for 80% of what we

taste think about it remember when you

were a kid pluging your nose while

eating Brussels sprouts so you didn't

have to taste it well Arup uses that

same logic but the opposite all I got to

do is choose one of the many different

scent pods available my favorite is

peach personally pop that on the top of

the bottle fill it up with tap water and

simply pull up the Pod to activate the

magic of scent based taste cuz I'm just

drinking plain old tap water but my

silly caveman brain is tasting Peach

it's wild and if I feel like going back

to regular drinking water without any

flavor for some reason all you got to do

is push the Pod back down simple as that

so if you want to start this New Year on

the right foot and start drinking more

water every day air up is the best way

to do it in my opinion so click the link

in my description to discover this

completely new and unique hydration

experience for yourself okay thank you

so much to air up for sponsoring this

video I seriously cannot recommend them

enough I'm literally slurping on this

thing all day like a goddamn guinea pig

okay I drink it at my podcast Studio I'm

drinking it when I'm working it's all

the time dude and I seriously love it

and I would recommend it to anybody so I

hope you check them out because also

helps me out when you check out the

sponsor so everybody wins here dude okay

thanks again to air up back to the video

another looksmaxing Tik Tok video I was

served featured a man telling me that

the way I walk is making me ugly that's

why the statue of David is so handsome

he doesn't move he's just

standing all the time right we don't

know if he has an ugly walk most men are

walking rushed with their head down to

avoid eye contact look straight ahead

when you walk to do this starting with

number One never hide your thumbs this

makes you seem nervous almost as if you

have something to hide number two you

want to sway your shoulders number three

you you should always walk around as if

there is this straight line running from

the top of your head to the bottom of

your feet all right so I'm going to be

honest I didn't even know that there was

a correct or incorrect way to walk seems

pretty stressful to to worry about that

type of if I'm being honest but

like the idea of looks maxing is to like

stand out right be memorable what if I

just crab walked crab maxing

dude sorry what did he say again he said

uh never hide your

thumbs sway your shoulders and then walk

like there's a straight line from the

top of your head to the bottom of your

feet okay thumbs shoulders line okay and

with my new manly hot guy walk mastered

another day of look maxing was complete

crab walking s

tier all day I've been subconsciously

keep keeping my tongue at the at the top

of my mouth all day long you know to get

that you know to get that nice jawline

right I've been mewing all day

it does feel a little weird cuz I'm just

so not used to it and I've also had like

an irrational feel fear of swallowing my

tongue ever since I saw someone do it on

TV one time so that's been sort of tough

to overcome I'm just like subconsciously

in my head I'm just like you know always

mewing always got to be the tongue is

always on the top it'd be cool if I

could put like if I could rub like some

maybe I'll rub like some salami or

pepperoni on the top roof of my mouth

just rub it there so I can just like put

my tongue up there have a little salty

have a little salty snack just spitball

in here for uh for looks maxing products

that you can make in the future speaking

of looks maxing products let's try one

of those out all right so I got this gum

it's called facial Fitness chewing gum

mint vegan Ultra tough train your jaw

and facial features then the statue of

David here I didn't know David was

muing dude

mangelo number 12 Co this is a very

hard/ tough Fitness chewing gum where

every chewing process strains the jaw

and facial muscles that's why I

recommend chewing the gum for no longer

than 10 15 minutes every other day why

what's going to happen if I do it every

day can have a laxative effect if

consumed in excess all right so I guess

we'll just crack into this see how it

goes oh God holy big ass

piece of gum

bro look at this thing dude I

can put that on my bed use it as a

pillow dude look how big this thing is

dude looking ass gum Down the Hatch I

guess okay so there was a there's a big

sort of snap app at the first bite as I

broke it in half

ah this this

sucks and here's the thing how long have

I been chewing this 10 seconds taste is

already gone I want to start tasting

blood I think of how much I've Chi my

teeth the is in these can

have a laxative effect if consumed in

excess good what did I just put into my

mouth laxative is a diarrhea right good

uh it making me sick okay I'm going to

chew this for 10 minutes but I will say

this I feel like looks maxers they put a

lot of emphasis on having like clean

teeth right but I don't think it matters

how clean your teeth are if

they're all chipped from chewing

gum this hard dude I think it's easy to

take care of your teeth if you only have

one of them dude it's a lot

easier also dude if I asked for a piece

of gum from one of my friends and they

handed me one of these I'm them

up I'm taking a hammer to their face and

not in the good kind the packaging

recommended chewing the gum for 10

minutes so that's what I did and let me

tell you this was one of the most

unenjoyable

things I have ever done in my entire

life felt like I was chewing on like a

really tough piece of meat and I F I

hated every second of it even kiwi hated

it and I don't blame him I'm getting

mugged getting mugged by you kiwi that

moment when you get mugged by your dog

and after 10 minutes that felt like 10

hours I spat that piece of garbage in

the garbage okay zero out of 10

this sucks dude also I

figured I would start ranking these

methods and techniques in a tier list as

we go on it might help to visually

illustrate how these different methods

hold up so the jawliner gum that's going

to go D this sucks man it

loses its flavor in 2 seconds feels like

you're chewing on a sock it it just

sucks and it makes me want to puke okay

bad gum and also mewing I think I'm

going to put a because it's easy and I

don't know it's kind of funny later that

day I decided to try out the hunter eyes

exercise because I want my eyes to look

just like Hunter bidens so cute the

blinking exercise felt weird as hell I I

really hated that one because my

eyes were Mak little slimy clicking

noises whenever I blinked and it really

freaked me out and the whole time I was

doing this I just kept thinking like is

this really how malleable our faces are

you just move around and your face stays

like that dude like we're

Play-Doh but that Play-Doh okay I

followed all the exercises from that Tik

Tok but after a while I started to get

pretty bored so I started messing around

in the mirror and remember this thing I

used to do a lot when I was a kid where

I grab my lips and stuck my tongue out

because I thought it made me look like a

goat and uh yeah sorry it's still hilar

hilarious I guess I am the goat so I

think I'm going to put the hunter eyes

exercises in the sea tier because some

of them felt kind of nice but most of

them uh made my eyes feel weird and and

itchy but I will be putting my goat

impression in the S tier because that

was

hilarious the next day I decided to try

out the little posture fixing vibrator I

bought so let's see how that went okay

morning guys it is um about 10:30 today

I'm going to try out this uh this

posture cuz even in this video

right now I'm slouching like

crazy which is really annoying I'm going

to try out this uh upright go s I could

have sworn they made a product that like

Zapped you every time you slouched and I

was trying to find that but I feel like

that might have been a dream but this is

kind of what it like it's kind of the

same thing this is sort of like a dog

collar but for people with bad posture I

don't think dog cers are for dog posture

sorry this is a clip from like 5 minutes

in the future from then posture that's

the joke I should have made okay all

right so let's take a look at this

packaging here take control of your

posture realtime posture feedback use

daily goals that are personalized and

based on your performance to improve

your posture see your daily posture

stats and keep track of your progress

over time tiny device huge

impact I know a little something about

that backed by science we apply biof

feedback science to create cognitive

awareness that empowers behavior change

multiple studies conclude that using

upgrade devices results in positive

Health outcomes designed to fit every

back yeah I'd hope

so is this it here oh it's pretty small

I know a little something about that

okay I just real I forgot that I have to

charge it so I'm going to charge this

and then we'll get back to it but I feel

like I just bought a little vibrator so

that's pretty fun a few hours later okay

so it's been about an hour and a half my

vibrator is fully charged I got to

download an app yes cuz

everybody everything has a app

these days what the hell are we doing

guys everything you buy it's got to come

with an you got to download an app I

bought a bushel of bananas the

other day and it was like download the

banana app to track your banana intake

corporate Big Wigs man okay welcome to

Upright find out when you're slouching

with a gentle

Buzz get a nice Buzz going I'm a male

I'm a man many hours a day do you spend

sitting oh my gosh see 7 to 10 main

reason for ordering this product um look

better nice okay relax it's not that big

of a deal place your go on your upper

back ver vertically put it anywhere

that's easy to reach

okay the

okay so it's all set okay so that's

green and then if I

slouch oh yeah wow okay so it works I

definitely see how that uh could be

annoying what's like the threshold if

I'm like

[Music]

there dude even a little bit okay

well

I just did it again okay I guess

I'm going to wear this like all day and

see how it goes I got to do some work

also some writing so this will be an

interesting day to see how it goes if

I'm okay yep it went again I'm probably

going to get super annoyed with this cuz

I'm already annoyed but so far it's

working pretty well and I like this

little guy he kind of does what I

do all right cool posture is going to be

goated by the end of this back to

me sorry

vibrated again Jesus okay later

that night I had to memorize some lines

for an audition and I figured that would

be the perfect time to test out the

posture vibrator and right off the bat I

was slouching like crazy and

it's probably because I've been

slouching for the past 29 years but even

with the constant vibrating on my back

it was incredibly difficult to stop just

going back to the default gamer

posture I will say the vibrator did

exactly what it claimed to do and it was

really annoying if I'm being honest

every time it vibrated in my head I had

this like battle this debate right I was

like what's more annoying this

occasional vibrating right now or the

years of discomfort I will inevitably

experience if I don't fix my current

posture and I think the obvious answer

to that question is the vibrating right

now because the vibrating is right now

the years of discomfort what the

when's that when is that years it's in

the future what even is that the future

doesn't exist okay there's only right

now but anyways I figured I would put

the posture vibrator in the a tier it is

super annoying but like it it

really works like every time it vibrates

it's annoying as hell so you're like

okay I don't want that to happen again

I'm going to I'm going to straighten up

okay initial thoughts I've been wearing

it for about a half hour um this is only

really beneficial if you're just

sitting at a desk because if you try to

do anything else while you're wearing

this vibrating thing it will it will

vibrate whenever you bend down at all so

uh I just started like tidying up my

office a little bit and every time I B

down it started vibrating so um that's a

little Annoying I don't think I'll be

able to wear it all day or maybe not

maybe I'll just learn to adapt the rest

of my life completely

upright and the next day I decided to

try out some of those uh jaw exercises

from the sideways man and these were

hilarious because this is look maxing

right you're supposed to like it's

supposed to make you feel good about

yourself I've never felt uglier in my

whole life while doing these exercises

this one especially dude I look like a

fish that washed up on a beach and if

I'm being honest none of these exercises

felt like I was like actually doing

anything it didn't feel like I was

getting an uh like a good jaw workout it

kind of just felt like I was straining

my jaw over and over again like who am I

your mom jaw exercises C tier because I

never want to see myself doing those

ever again at this point in my looks

maxing journey I couldn't tell if any

progress was actually being made

sometimes it seemed like it was even

getting worse but later that night I

decided to try out the other product I

purchased The Gua Stone I looked up a

video from some someone who actually

knew what they were doing because I

don't trust a British look sming child

on Tik Tok to tell me what to do with it

I don't have any proof that that guy's

British but sometimes you can just tell

you know so I followed along with this

instructional video from Tina enjo and

this was such a nice change of pace from

the other products and methods the music

was calming the gacha stone felt really

nice on my skin and it actually felt

really relaxing okay so I just did my

first gacha wish I had somewhere to clip

this microphone

[Music]

ow why' I even try that yeah First

Impressions felt awesome man it

felt really relaxing I mean it makes

sense people have been doing it for

thousands of years so obviously

there's some there's some benefits to it

and watching this video compared to the

Tik Tok that I found out about it in

it's just crazy to see both ends of the

self-care Spectrum on one side you have

like calming videos like this and on the

other side of the spectrum is like hit

yourself in the hammer break your

jaw it's just really interesting

so guach Stone that's s tier loved it no

notes time for gum goofy piece of gum

dude what the hell is this

and The Taste is already gone I

don't know what it is about this gum but

whenever I chew it I want to throw up is

that normal I then decided to try

playing some video games while wearing

my posture corrector and I'm going to be

honest I didn't think being an epic

gamer could get any Lamer but playing

video games with perfect posture has got

to be the dorkiest thing I've ever done

in my life I want to steal my own lunch

money and give myself a swirly just

watching this video back dude it just

sucks how well that posture vibrator

works you know it sucks hate

this little thing man I hate it I should

just H she just freaking like shove it I

just shove it on my butt or something

what yeah that'll show it it would suck

for me right that'll that'll teach you

the lesson right and the next day I I

had one final look maxing product to

test out it's a new day new

product to try I'm going to do the jaw

exerciser I'm curious to see the details

of this because it looks just like you

got to chew on something from the video

right you just got to that's a tutorial

it's a video of a guy going like well

first off

whoa

yo okay never mind I think after this

I'm going to have to try intelligence

maxing I'm going to take a video of this

so you know what I'm talking about but

this little thing it says 30 lb 40 lb

and 50 lb so that means pressure like 30

lbs of pressure it takes to squeeze it

in my head I was like that's how much

they weigh genuinely in my head I was

like how do these weigh a

collective 13 - 50 120 lb and I'm just

carrying it all willy Milly in my hand

Jesus Christ I'm a idiot Place

both exercises between the molar teeth

position the units where it feels

comfortable Hollow surfaces should be

facing up and down and the mayna logos

facing sideways squeeze and release the

units using your molar teeth chewing

motion should be a straight up and down

and not a circular motion make sure to

apply repetitive squeezing exercises

with a light force and not bite too hard

in the silicone units okay repeat the

exercise until you feel your jaws tired

we suggest doing a 20 30 repetitions at

a time and a few sets per

[Music]

day yo running out of storage on my

phone perfect 500 gabes not enough still

perfect so yeah these definitely look

like they're easy to choke on you know

it feels like a feels like an eraser and

I've shoot on my fair share of erasers

growing up so I think this will be just

like that if I was a baby this would be

the cause of my death I can say that

confidently all right here we go am a

mher I started my jaw exercise and it

seemed to be going fine you know I was

munching on those things and I could

feel my jaw getting a nice workout but

then all of a sudden I got like super

nauseous out of

[Applause]

nowhere okay great I love these sorry I

didn't mean to gag like that I think I

just have a really bad gag reflex but uh

yeah that those make me want to throw up

and my jaw feels tired so that I guess

it I guess it works I also when I was

chewing those I had like a split second

I was like imagine choking on these and

dying and that's how I go the

embarrassment I would feel would be

worse than dying I think I guess I said

to do uh a couple sets a day so I'll do

another one later just to see how it

goes maybe I won't puke that time but uh

Mee's a lot easier so I'm going to put

those little jaw exercisers in the SE

tier I would put them in the D tier but

I did feel my jaw muscles getting a good

exercise and also I didn't choke and die

on them if I would have died though

these would be in the D tier d stands

for dead also I've been thinking like

the more I Mew cuz I've been doing it

like all day every day for the past like

week almost the more I do it the more

I'm seeing the benefits not just for

like the jaw that I haven't really seen

too much of that yet but like I just

think life would be easier for guys in

general if we all just mued all the time

because if you're meing you're not

talking and if you're not talking you're

not going to say any dumb so ladies

if you want to get your boyfriend to

stop saying dumb all the time make

him start muing dude it's well actually

what am I saying like any stray women

are watching my videos ladies if you

want to get your girlfriend to stop

saying a bunch of dumb get him on

the Mew train all

right all right it was my final day of

looks maxing I've done every exercise

I've tried every product I've walked

every walk so I figured the final day

would be the perfect day to cram

everything into one final looks maxing

day and this was rough I'll admit it I

started off with some jaw exercises that

only really just hurt my mouth I then

tried to get some work done while mewing

with perfect posture I was typing and

clicking like crazy to be honest I was

so focused on my posture I didn't even

realize what I was doing and when I

looked up at my screen to see what I

have created I was pretty impressed I

did a quick jaw exercise with my little

vomit inducers and I hated every second

of it I hate these things okay they're

bad I then went into the bathroom and

got really excited because I got to do

my gacha routine again this was really

relaxing and I felt very calm this was

the best part of my day and as soon as I

was done I went back into losing my

goddamn mind this is what one

week of looks maxing does to a

this was the lowest point

of the week I've done so much and I

don't think there's been any impact on

my appearance there's definitely been an

impact on my brain but what's

the point of that who cares you can't

even see my brain wish my head

was seethrough I got to such a low point

that I was even considering the

Forbidden look smacking tactic but then

I decided the hammer was actually a

really nice guy and he would never hit

me in the face and that's what I said

Hammer I hardly know

her and later that night I popped in

another piece of jawliner gum while I

had the posture corrector on and this

was a mistake this was the most annoying

10 minutes of my life I would be focused

on not puking from this gum and then the

thing would buzz on my back and it was

just a constant Loop of that until I

threw in the towel I can't wear

this thing anymore man move my neck one

thing is

like that hate this

gum and with that I was finally done my

week of looks maxing and the

result all right well it's been about a

week of trying out these looks maxing

products and implementing these daily

exercises and routines and it's time to

find out if any of that had any impact

whatsoever on my appearance I just took

a photo at the same angle as the

original one from a week ago so let's

see the results do you guys see any

difference it actually does kind of look

like my jaw got a little sharper which

is which is a little weird I mean that's

got to be an angle thing I'm sure right

there's no way that that actually

worked in the last week right oh

sorry it looks different because I

edited the the picture this is what I

actually look like now pretty

similar yeah there's no difference okay

and that's how easy it is to lie to

people about the results of looks maxing

so you can sell them MOG warts classes

and jaw exercisers I'm sure we could

zoom in and you know try to dissect very

minimal changes but I don't think there

are any from what I've seen you can do

that for yourself in your own spare time

if you're one of those people um like

without a job and sure you could say it

takes longer to see results but if

something takes longer than a week to

see results it's not worth your time

okay never mind that's not that's not

the lesson here to be honest I can

totally see how easy it is to fall down

the look maxing pipeline it's a

community that's a little bit more

self-aware if it's absurdity than the

other similar ideologies in the

manosphere and I never want to

discourage people from wanting to

improve their health but looksmaxing

kind of does the opposite of what it's

intending sometimes obsessing over your

features that much is not good for your

brain but also at the same time I'm not

going to sit here and say everything

about looks maxing is wrong having good

posture and taking good care of your

teeth I'd agree with that any day

smashing your bones stretching your junk

and chewing on rocks parading as gum

don't do any of those things ever

obviously through everything I tried I

think the strange changest part of this

week was just like staring at myself for

long periods of time combing through

every detail looking for improvements

searching for a sign of a sharper

jawline and not being able to see any

all I saw was just me I looked at myself

in the mirror and the face that looks

back at me today is not the same face I

saw when I looked in the mirror 20 10

five or even one year ago I've never had

a say in how my face was going to change

over the years and I love that we should

all love that and if I'm being honest

the more I did these exercise and

methods this week the more I thought to

myself God I hope this doesn't actually

change my face cuz then my face wouldn't

be mine right it wouldn't be my

face I think the overall message I'm

trying to convey which is very Bas level

but I know it's hard but I think you

should at least try to love the things

that make you unique you got a big nose

that's badass you can smell more stuff

you know if you've got orange hair then

that's

fine if you have an AI belly button that

you hate or something then that's that's

actually fair I agree with that AI belly

buttons are weird as and also the

other lesson is don't hate yourself with

a hammer and start crab walking I can't

be the only guy doing it okay I need all
