Dillon Latham is an American TikToker, YouTuber, and streamer from Virginia who became one of the main routes by which looksmaxxing slang reached a teenage audience in 2022–2023.[1] He is not a Kick "Chad Rankings" streamer in the Clavicular sense; he is glow-up TikTok. No English Wikipedia biography as of September 2026.
Career
The Times profiled him in November 2023 as an 18-year-old from Virginia with a mop of hair whose account had gained about 1.3 million followers since September 2022. He told the paper the past year had been "taking things girls have been doing to look better and telling guys to do the same."[1] Later 2026 coverage put him in his early twenties, still based around Richmond, streaming on Kick as well as posting YouTube, and selling a men's haircare line (Simplectics).[2]
He is repeatedly named as a reason mewing went viral on TikTok. An AFP feature (April 2025) criticized a clip in which he told followers to whiten teeth with hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab; dentists warned that store-bought peroxide can damage enamel.[3]
In August 2023 he said he had been doxxed by people who treated his looksmaxxing tips as incel recruitment; he posted that people were showing up at his home.[4]
2026 clips
In April 2026 a livestream clip labeled crymaxxing circulated: he said tears contain salt, so he put them in his hair "like sea salt spray."[2] The same month Out covered a Twitch appearance in which he treated "you look gay" as a compliment and discussed twinkmaxxing as a metrosexual look, distinct from the Clavicular hardmaxxing clip farm.[5]
