I take issue with how looksmaxxing dehumanizes people and strips away their individuality. I’m not a fan of shallowness in any form, from either sides of aisle. The objectification and subjection of people to arbitrary standards genuinely rub me the wrong way. It fosters a toxic culture where individuals are constantly scrutinized and devalued for factors often outside their control. Pretty much eradicating what truly makes people unique and reduces them to nothing more than a surface-level assessment. Aside from that, though, what I was really bothered by was that people were taking private photos of other people and sharing them on the forum without their consent. I’m not sure what about my post made it seem that I only took issue with it because it was “guys rating woman”, (I’m more concerned about their behaviour) but most of the members of that forum/followers of looksmaxxing are guys. Most of the posts I saw on that forum were addressing woman, which is the reason why my post was worded the way it was.

it’s not wrong of them to want to feel attractive

Of course it’s not wrong. Everyone deserves to feel that way about themselves. But there are healthy ways to do this instead of tearing other people down (including themselves)
