A '''failo''' is looksmaxxing slang for a perceived flaw treated as severe enough to drop an otherwise attractive face a full tier on the [[PSL scale]].<ref name="abc">{{cite news |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-11/looksmaxxing-manosphere-attractive-bonesmashing-better-life-cost/107138724 |title=Looksmaxxing: The business of telling young men they are not attractive enough |work=ABC News |date=11 October 2026 |access-date=12 October 2026}}</ref> Hairline, nose, skin, a weak chin, negative [[canthal tilt]], or glasses can all be called failos in a rating thread. The word is a forum rating move, not anatomy.<br />
<br />
Boards use it to keep a high-harmony face from being called [[Chad]] / [[PSL god]]: “would be HTN but the hairline is a failo.” The same photo gets different failos from different raters. That is the scale.<br />
<br />
== Method ==<br />
There is no failo protocol. The underlying trait is whatever page names it: [[Norwood scale]], [[nose]], [[skin clarity]], [[chin]], [[canthal tilt]]. Softmax the ones that are softmax ([[haircut]], skin, glasses, beard). Medical traits stay medical.<br />

== This wiki's view ==<br />
Record the word. Do not let one slang noun set the lead of an anatomy page. This wiki does not rank living people by failo.<br />
