LooksMaxxing Culture in Finance

With the whole looksmaxxing trend becoming mainstream with Clav blowing up, are people noticing a lot of incel behaviour/discussions becoming more apparent among peers? Finance already attracts some unique personalities so it just crossed my mind

Who is actually sitting there hating women and calling them foids😂

I agree with going to the gym, having good hygiene, not caring what others think, being outgoing/talking to women and think the self improvement aspect is good, but notice a lot of these dudes actually think women are not capable of being intelligent

Looksmaxxing is a logical extension of American Psycho’s rise into mainstream popularity. Life imitates art.

Just because some gen z idiot went viral for talking about how he takes meth to get thin cheeks doesn't mean it's mainstream. More than anything he's being highlighted because it's so easy to make fun of him. 

Edit: case and point - it's not even organic it's just a giant marketing push from Kick
