In this video I react to one of the biggest voices in the looksmaxxing world, including his answer to a question I think matters more than any technique he shares: does he feel responsible for the insecurity and body dysmorphia his content can create? To his credit, he engages with the question honestly, and I give him credit for something else too: he's built something genuinely impressive online. But I want to walk through why I believe the message underneath it is one of the unhealthiest on the internet. Here's my concern as a psychiatrist. When a culture teaches that appearance is the measure of your worth, it creates haves and have-nots by definition. Some people are left out no matter what they do, and that's exactly where insecurity, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders take root. I see the fallout in kids growing up inside this culture: fillers in their faces, implants, disordered eating, an endless comparison loop. It's a big part of why, as much as I love the California weather, I'd hesitate to raise my daughter around a culture where how you look is all anyone cares about. And there's a piece of this the looksmaxxing world doesn't want to discuss: the drugs. The substances being used in these circles to chase appearance are not benign, and I believe they're going to produce a wave of mental illness in the young men taking them. Honestly, the compulsive drive itself, the inability to stop optimizing your face and body, deserves to be understood as a mental health problem, not a lifestyle. The alternative I want young people to hear: build your life on values that are attainable by everyone. Wisdom. Competence. Self-improvement. A life of service to others. Optimize your health and appearance, sure, but as a small piece of a life, not the measure of it. I'd genuinely love to hear your take in the comments, especially if you disagree with me.
