You may have heard of 'looksmaxxing', a growing online culture revolving around techniques aimed at improving facial structure and attractiveness. The trend is often associated with 'manosphere' spaces but has expanded to a much wider audience – including mothers.
Mothers Enrolling Children in Looksmaxxing Boot Camps
In one example, a mother described encouraging her children to take part in a paid online 'boot camp' teaching routines to optimise appearance. This has raised ethical questions about the appropriateness of such practices for young children.
The Debate Heats Up
Critics argue that looksmaxxing can lead to body image issues and unhealthy preoccupation with appearance at a young age. Proponents, however, claim it builds confidence and social skills.
