Looksmaxxing Is Rotting Men

This week on GlowJob, @saltlacroix is back and we’re diving headfirst into the viral rise of “looksmaxxing” culture — from Clavicular’s bone-smashing and crystal meth confessions to the broader male optimization movement taking over TikTok.

We unpack: • What looksmaxxing actually is and how it emerged from incel forums • Clavicular’s supplement stack (testosterone, Accutane microdosing, melanotan, peptides) • Bone smashing, lantern chins, mogging — and the eugenics undertones • The rise of hyper-online male beauty standards • Why straight men struggle with skincare culture • Rage baiting, influencer controversy, and the Pat McGrath backlash • Celebrity obsession, K-pop fandom economics, and algorithm addiction • Catfishing, dating apps, and modern masculinity

From male gaze vs female gaze to nihilism, algorithm-driven outrage, and the collapse of nuance online — this episode is a cultural autopsy.

Beauty is business. Business is power. And the internet is warping both. --------
