The first rule of looksmaxxing is the most important. You must internalize it, and truly believe it
before you can begin your looksmaxxing journey, while simultaneously making the most of
your results. This applies not only to looksmaxxing, but any and all forms of self-improvement
that you will do throughout your life.

The first rule of looksmaxxing is: You do not talk about looksmaxxing.

“Why is that?” you might ask. The answer is clear. People, whether they admit it or not, have
certain ideas, thoughts, and preferences in their heads that they can’t control.

An “implicit bias” if you will.

Why do you think there is an infatuation with so called “prodigies” in our society?

Do people revere the person who works hard all their life, learning and studying to improve
themselves, or do they admire the one mysterious somebody who makes it all look easy and
natural, as if they were born to do it?

Do people want to hear about the guy who gave it his all in college and spent endless nights
studying to get the A, just like everyone else, or do they only want to hear about the kid who
does it all without even needing to try?

Do people admire the guy who is fascinated by different cultures and languages, and spent all
of his life learning about them, or do they only want to hear about the guy who has been able
to speak to almost anyone since he was 13?
:
 If you’re wondering why I’m asking all of the rhetorical questions, it’s because I’m trying to
prove a point, a point that you probably already know, but fail to enact.

People want successful people who make it look easy. They want people who make it looks
easy. They want naturals.

Unfortunately for many people, they don’t fall into any of these categories. Most people are
painfully average, living monotonous lives, giving it their all to be just another drop in the
bucket, making it obvious to others just how hard they’re trying in order to even just stay
afloat.

Others manage to make a splash, a splash large enough to offset them from the rest of the
flock, but still manage to make the fatal mistake of telling people about how hard it was to get
there.

In an even smaller group, you have people who have a natural aptitude to certain activities,
and excel at them with ease. The first two groups love these people, they are infatuated with
them. They’re the naturals, the prodigies.

And finally, we have the last group, the group who has no choice but to work just as hard as
the first two, gets the results of the second but gets all of the same admiration as the third.

How?

By shutting the fuck up about how much effort they’re putting in or how hard they
worked.

Both the third and fourth group of people have the exact same social value in the eyes of the
flock, because the fourth group has learned the art of shutting the fuck up. By not telling
others about what they’re working on, or have worked on, people admire them in the same
way that they do the naturals, because in eyes of the flock, they’re no different.

The flock doesn’t just want people who look good or do things well, the want people who
look good and do things well without even needing to try.

Have you ever enthusiastically told others about starting a new diet, or elaborating to others
about some newfound plan about how you are going to improve your life, and all of a sudden
they start to tear you down in subtle ways, or start to treat you differently?

It’s because of that implicit bias. They don’t like tryhards, they don’t like frauds, and they
don’t like people who aren’t naturals. They don’t like people who weren’t born with it.

You avoid this by not talking about your efforts, by not showing to others, either explicitly or
:
 implicitly, all the work you put into taking care of and improving yourself.

The Italians, one of the most stereotypically romantic and charismatic ethnicity, the Italians,
have a word for this idea. In fact they have had a word for it for almost 500 years. They call it
sprezzatura. Sprezzatura is described as a ‘studied carelessness’. Most people apply it
towards fashion, but the first time it was described by Baldassare Castiglione, it applied to all
aspects of a person’s life, desires, feelings, thoughts, and more importantly, actions. It’s an
effort to make every aspect of your life, including the parts worthy of admiration that, while in
reality took large amounts of effort and time, look easy and natural.

See, when you employ sprezzatura during your looksmaxxing journey, and more importantly
throughout your entire life, even after you’re ‘done’ looksmaxxing, you reap its benefits in the
form of admiration and praise for being, living, and acting in a way that others want you to be,
and wish they were.

reality, it’s the one way of ascending when you aren’t already ascended.
In
Log in Register 
It allows you to


burn away the dead underbrush, and allow for new branches and leaves to grow. It allows you
to shed all of your baggage and become something new. You begin to truly believe that you
had it in you all along, and your actions and characteristics soon follow suit.

As Castiglione talks about in his book, one of sprezzatura’s greatest virtues is that it allows
you to get lost in, and eventually become, one with your nonchalance and charisma; a true
natural.

It’s a difficult road, trust me. People are fundamentally social animals. We all want to talk with
others about how we’re going to improve, how hard we’ve worked, and how much better off
we are for it. They’re also hilariously judgmental, in the ways I’ve talked about previously. They
don’t like to see plateaus, or the inevitable stagnation that you have to break through when
improving yourself, all they want to see are results. It really is the duality of man.

But doing so is the most important part of really beginning your looksmaxxing journey.

Hopefully I’ve shed some insight on the type of mentality you need to put yourself in, in order
to truly maximize and reap the rewards of your looksmaxxing, and more generally any form of
self-improvement.

bc it gives false sense of accomplishment. you get dopamine from ppl reacting and

if ur serious about it, you shouldn’t tell anyone. that’s also why those “my looksmax goals” are
so fun and addicting to write.

Agree with conclusion, disagree with the reasoning used to get there.

Society has always respected the plucky underdog who worked hard more than the overdog
who was born better. Normies want to cope that life is completely just, or else destroy what
they see as an unfair advantage. Look at current political rhetoric, conservatives tend to hype
the hard work of rich people, democrats hype their luck and want to see them knocked down
a few pegs. Hell, look at IT and incels for an example of this at play: "Chads are attractive
because of their personality or other traits which are achievable through effort" vs "Life is
unfair because Chads are born and not made, let's remake society so everything is fair
again".

Floyd Mayweather, Will Smith, Donald Trump, and countless others have freely admitted to
the hard work they did (or sometimes didn't do) because it makes them seem more relatable
to average people. People want to see themselves as hard workers, so they look for that in
others as well.

For most things, it's best to pretend you worked hard even if you didn't.

The thing is, this doesn't apply for looksmaxxing or personalitymaxxing.

The reason it doesn't apply to looksmaxxing is that vanity is considered taboo in society. We
are supposed to pretend to play the game that 'looks don't matter', and seeing somebody put
an abnormal amount of effort into their looks reminds the normies that looks matter, which
makes them uncomfortable. That's why you see people say "I do X for myself" and believe it.

The reason it doesn't apply to personalitymaxxing is because people don't like feeling like
they are being deceived. This is why society is so obsessed with 'authenticity' today. If you
told somebody you read and applied The Charisma Myth, they would feel like you were lying
to them about your actual personality. Ironically the only way people respect manufactured
personalities is if you tell them you were shy and worked really hard to become more
:
 confident (but not specific techniques to learn to appeal to people, god forbid you be fake).

So fight club still applies to the blackpill, but not for the reason you think it does.

Also @PrettyBoyMaxxing

Telling people your goals helps you follow through due to prosocial emotions, which are
stronger than willpower alone. You don't want to be a failure, or worse, somebody who didn't
even try. You also want the dopamine from writing down your goals, because it is a taste of
the dopamine of actually achieving them.

What you don't want is the dopamine you get from writing this kind of post. I will never get
back the 15 minutes I spent writing something that doesn't benefit my long term goals.
