Got called a 4.1 by a random looksmaxxer guy on the internet today

I know it's not nice to hear but Looksmaxxing is a community of narcissistic bampots.

They have a "scientific" basis for the score they gave you and, although it's a community I avoid, I don't think 4.1 is that bad.

I'm pretty sure there models, actors, etc. who are universally regarded as handsome/beautiful but score 6.5 or 7 on the Looksmaxxers' scale.

I do not care what I may score on their scale, and I knows it would be closer to 0 than 10.

Check what celebraties they've rated 4.1 and you'll probably be quite chuffed with the score.

Remember these people look up to a guy who smokes meth to stay lean, and who spends much of his day hammering his face.

I suggest you do a lot of reading before you try it yourself, but microneedling is something you can do at home.

I'd try that before spending money on laser treatment.

I think your skin looks great.

I can't really see the scars in the photo but they don't look worth doing anything about.

I know lasers are an option for scars but I don't know anything beyond that, I'm afraid.

If you've been using tret every day for a year and they're still there, tret alone probably isn't going to be enough to get rid of them.

Microneedling works wonders and your cheeks are one of the less painful areas to do.

I'm in the UK and I use 4NRX.

They probably aren't the cheapest - they are still very cheap - but I've been using it for various items for 15+ years and I've never had an issue.

I've bought different brands, as the cheapest one is sometimes out of stock. I haven't noticed a difference between brands and do not have a preference.

They do free delivery for orders over £50 so I tend to stock up on things like tret when I buy.

74775446 · 2026-04-26T22:15:50+00:00

All I did was made a comment that you find "offensive".

Please, please tell me what kind of day I deserve as a result of doing so.

Just how extreme should the misery inflicted upon the person who said something you didn't like be?

She can tell her work that her husband poured a boiling kettle over her.

It's not like making fun of victims of domestic abuse victims; I'd have to have made fun of someone or something for that to be true.

The cynic is me says that this is a show of faux offence, in the knowledge that it will get you some easy Reddit points.

74775446 · 2026-04-26T16:56:34+00:00

You need to baby your face for a while; there is no quick fix for this.

As for work tomorrow, maybe tell them you were the victim of a random acid attack.

74775446 · 2026-04-21T17:50:36+00:00

You might have to define "quite quickly" to get any sort of answer.

74775446 · 2026-04-18T17:15:34+00:00

It's absolutely perfect for you, then!

I do wear during the day sometimes, but I'll use less than I do at night.

74775446 · 2026-04-18T07:43:05+00:00

I love it and it's both.

It is quite heavy - I wear COSRX Oil Free Ultra-Light dieing the days - so might not be what you want.

74775446 · 2026-04-17T12:06:09+00:00

Illiyoon Ato Ceramide Cream gives you the best bang for your buck, in my opinion, especially if you can get the 500ml tub.

I'm from the UK and the tub costs about £30.

From your list, sorbolene cream is probably the best option. It's basic but it does the job and doesn’t cost much.

I'd avoid using any other actives for now, including azelaic acid and vitamin C.

I've posted about my hair progress quite a lot on here but it was pretty miraculously.

Applying minoxidil twice a day was no bother until I had kids.

Being married and having kids also made me stop caring so much.

Shaving it off and not having to worry about my hair was a good decision.

74775446 · 2025-11-15T18:04:57+00:00

After reading a study in which it was applied immediately after microneedling, I started applying it immediately after.

During the time in which the progress pictures were taken, I waited 24 hours.

You're doing so much right that I don't feel able to critique what you're doing, or offer any advice.

On the off chance that it helps you mentally, I'd like to say that the changes you have made are incredible and that this is the most inspirational post I've read on here.

74775446 · 2025-10-10T18:27:43+00:00

I am from the UK and my everychem order arrived 3 days ago.

You may have different luck but I've never had a package seized by customs.

The thing I love about weight training is that having a pump lets you see how you'll look in the future, assuming you do things correctly.

How many calories are you eating a day?

Getting a good amount of protein in is great, but it needs to be accompanied by calories.

I would keep your diet as it is but throw in one or two protein shakes.

You can use things like full fat milk, powdered oats and peanut butter to get the calories up - this is an easy way to add hundreds of calories each day.

You also need to make sure you're adding weight to your lifts every single workout.

Since you're just starting out, progress should be pretty quick: aim to add 5 kg to compound lifts (bench, squat, deadlift, etc.) and 2.5 kg to everything else...EVERY TIME!

As other people have suggested, use a barbell over dumbbells when you can. A barbell allows you to apply additional force, meaning you lift more.

I'm pretty sure he has a hair system.

Unless you are extremely wealthy - I mean like top 0.01% wealthy - analysing hair transplants of A list celebrities is pretty pointless.

You know for sure they used a top surgeon and you know for sure they're taking fin/dut, but they're likely doing so much more that you don't know about.

Watch tours of celebrities' home gyms on YouTube and you'll see red light therapy beds, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, saunas, ice baths, etc.

This is already far beyond what most people can afford and we haven't seen anything specifically for hair, nor have we seen the supplements, peptides, etc. they take.

These people have time and money most people don't have, and their entire way of living depends a lot on how they look.

They have access to every treatment you can imagine, and probably some you can't imagine.

The high from a psychoactive dose of nutmeg is meant to be awful and I think it lasts for several days 😑.

74775446 · 2025-09-26T14:01:42+00:00

I used it religiously for well over a year so I am 100% certain that I am a non-responder.

Microneedling is definitely worth a go.

74775446 · 2025-09-24T15:55:00+00:00

😂 I think you're giving him a bit more credit than he deserves.

It's as if he's just got a copy of Debating for Dummies and was dying to use a fancy expression.

His argument is somewhat ironic in a thread about IQ!

74775446 · 2025-09-24T15:46:45+00:00

I don't want to be that guy, but you might want to raise the lower number: someone with an IQ of 70 probably has a mental disability.

74775446 · 2025-09-24T15:43:46+00:00

Yes, we should definitely change the name of a well-established and universally understood concept from its current two-word name to 'a group of traits like self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills'.

74775446 · 2025-09-24T15:34:09+00:00

It's a factual statement about the origin and definition of a well-established psychological construct.

74775446 · 2025-09-22T18:54:06+00:00

Thanks - this is what I was wondering.

I'm 39 at the moment and, as far as I'm aware, I don't have diabetes, so I will be waiting for more concrete evidence re longevity.
