	'''Looksmaxxing''' (LUUKS-MAK-sing) is an online self-improvement practice, out of the manosphere, aimed at maximizing physical attractiveness. The word is a 2010s incel-board neologism (''looks'' + ''-maxxing''). It lived on obscure PSL forums, then broke into civilian English in the 2020s via TikTok and, in 2025–2026, via livestreamer [[Clavicular]].

			== PSL scale ==
			The [[PSL scale]] is an 8-point facial ranking (not "x out of ten") with tiers: subhuman, normie (low/mid/high), Chad (Chadlite / Chad / giga). Wikipedia notes Clavicular's public use of that cartoon. ''The New Yorker'' (Rothfeld) called a system that labels people "subhuman" beneath contempt. This wiki may mention a PSL number as how the community talks. It does not rank living people on the Main Page.

			== Stack (house) ==
			* '''Week:''' [[sleep]], [[skin]], [[haircut]], brows, [[teeth]], shirt fit, [[glasses]], [[posture]], lighting, [[photos]].
			* '''Month–year:''' [[body fat]], [[physique]], derm, dentist, [[minoxidil]]/[[finasteride]] with a clinician.
			* '''Medical:''' [[hair transplant]], [[male rhinoplasty]], [[custom jawline implant]], [[sliding genioplasty]] — licensed people. See [[surgical pitfalls]].
			* '''Not a method:''' [[bonesmashing]].

			== Mainstream ==
			By the mid-2020s the word was a TikTok genre and then a newspaper genre. Clavicular is why civilians heard [[mog]] and "maxxing" as a suffix. [[Official Chad Rankings]] (2026) is kayfabe on top of that. Apps ([[Umax]]) sold a weekly face number. This wiki is the opposite product: pages, not a score you rent.

'''Looksmaxxing''' is the practice of maximizing physical attractiveness on purpose: hair, skin, fat, muscle, teeth, clothes, photos, and — at the hard end — surgery. The word is a 2010s forum neologism (''looks'' + ''maxxing'') from the PSL boards (PUAHate, SlutHate, Lookism). TikTok made it a civilian search term in the 2020s.

This wiki treats it as a '''skill stack''' with different time scales, not as a caste system. Forum religion ("it's over," "subhuman") is recorded as slang. It does not set the lead.

== Stack ==
* '''Week:''' sleep, skin, haircut, brows, teeth color, shirt fit, glasses, posture, lighting.
* '''Month–year:''' fat loss or lift, gym, derm, dentist.
* '''Medical:''' hair transplant, rhinoplasty, implants — licensed people, not forum DIY.
