Transcript

If you're trying to glow up and you put too much effort into your appearance, it's just going to weird people out. A big trend I've seen in the look maxing space is people trying to look so good at almost looks eerily or uncomfortably. And the truth is a lot of people are going to feel really uncomfortable even if you do reach this level of attractiveness because normal people, even normal attractive people are not that good looking. And if you're just trying to pull more girls, I feel like most girls aren't looking for a 10 out of 10. They're more looking for like a 7 out of 10 or a 8 out of 10 because if you go all the way up to 10, people people might just view you as a player and they're going to make assumptions just based on your looks. Another thing, please stop doing the look maxing face. It really doesn't make you look better.
