BTW, please include That’s My Boy (2012) in your next video discussing inappropriate relationships. Also, and since Nikki didn’t say it out loud in the video, for those who don’t know what edging is, it’s when you try to make the sense of pleasure right before (and in some cases during) orgasm last as long as possible during masturbation. Yes, really. Edit: Oh, shit, she’s definitely including That’s My Boy (2012), it’s on the board at 32:53 in the Teacher-Student Relationships video. Good.
Also, I prefer to have my default canthal tilt of being neither slanted upwards or angry “predator”. I _personally_ don’t want to look mad or sad all the time. Not gonna bully others about others having different ones, though. And on another more related note: it should technically be called mawmaxxing, since mewing is literally a vocal sound.

No fr. I'm a guy and it's crazy to me that so many men will do ANYTHING but wear makeup or do anything stereotypical fem. Want a sharper jaw line then you have? Do male contouring it helps form the look! Want clearer skin? Find a simple skin care routine, no need to call it looksmaxxing lol. And like you said, want your eyes to have a different shape in appearance? Uses makeup or eyeliner! Seriously, guyliner is sexy as hell. It's so so sad to me that so many men fall for shit like this that's basically rebranded makeup and skin care at its best and a well packaged ED at worst.

I'm a 17 year old boy. I think 12 - 18 is a difficult timeframe for anyone regardless since teenagers are incredibly judgemental as it is. I got into the looksmaxxing community about 4 months ago and have been following their steps.

I'd say I'm a lot more of a sorted and calm guy compared to my peers, but I've noticed that my taller peers are given more attention. I wanted to make up for my dislikeable height in a way by looksmaxxing. My mental health took a dive because I was so focused on how I didn't fit in the box of "attractiveness" but I never really stopped to think about where it originated from. One guy with some very clear mental issues paired with women hating incels making a trend to help them "get women" and whatever else is such an obvious ridiculous thing, but me and many other young men have fallen victim to it. I really appreciate you making this video. It helped me to realise how silly the whole thing is and how it puts people into boxes that aren't really human. It's a WASTE OF TIME.

While there are things you can do to make yourself better, like working out, having a skincare routine, etc, you're still growing. You're not fully developed and your body hasn't finished forming yet. There is absolutely no need to hyperfixate on appearance right now. Attractiveness is also subjective! That's why preferences exist. People your age probably don't want commitment and love like you do. The majority are shallow and ALSO haven't developed mentally OR physically.

it's true though, white people are the most attractive race by far not to mention how smart and creative they are. Otherwise why did they conquer the whole world and not say blacks?
I hate how the looksmaxxing community affects the younger crowd.. My son is in middle school and I realized he was seeing this stuff and it was making him feel less than the wonderful kid that he is.. He started asking for things to help "fix his jaw" and what not.. At first I thought he was just trying to have good hygiene and was just wanting to wash his face more until I realized the specific things he was asking for was exactly what these influencers were advertising that men needed to look attractive. So wrong. I hate it so much.
tell him about the toxicity of this community but also help him in becoming better looking in a healthy way. Good or not the world is full of vanity and you get a lot of societal privilege if you look good
I'm totally okay with him learning about hygienic/healthy tips and working hard to stick with that routine. I see benefits in that. But some of the Looksmaxxing trends he is seeing online from this community can be really harmful. I see it causing more insecurities in him and causing him to feel crappy about his facial features he will always have and can't change without surgery or fillers. Taking care of yourself is one thing, but it seems as though the younger crowd is seeing ALL of the trends thrown at them, and thinking "I need to change this about myself" instead of empowering them to love their bodies and take care of them in a healthy way. Being told that they have to fix A, B, and C, about themselves for status and attraction is ridiculous, and can be really damaging. @@ppmaks668
@ville__ Can you stop copy and pasting this? It's weird af. Women aren't "the physical manifestation" of anything.. besides being a woman. I get the point you're bizarrely making: if everyone looks the same, it becomes boring. Yes, that's true. It's not only true for women though. Stop being weird. Thanks
I remember in 2017 The Dolan Twins & Cameron Dallas were literally the Blueprint of Social Media Looksmaxing. They always called these guys “Bicycle seats” they’re just genetically beautiful but was so insecure.
I’m not gonna lie, a lot of this looksmaxing stuff is giving eugenics. I’m being so serious. Jawlines, bone structure, and eye shape have all been things that eugenicists looked at to determine what a “desirable” child should look like. It’s really unnerving Edit: eh I’m not gonna respond to anyone trying to argue with me anymore. I’m wasting my time trying to explain this shit to y’all. Take my point or leave it, peace and love
this was such a well researched video nikki! I've watched a few video essayists takes on looksmaxxing and urs is byfar the most enlightening!! loved it so much
You're my fav creator at the moment. Everything you do is thought out and well spoken. Its a refreshing break from the typical toxicity going around to see someone genuinely human and empathetic.
5:37 The thing about canthal tilt is interesting, because it's also been used as a way of appropriating traits that are more common in specific racial groups. Higher canthal tilt (from what I've read) is more common in East Asian peoples. Add the eugenics that sometimes play into the darker side of some looks-based circles, and you have some people telling their audiences that they should get specific traits of some groups... while also telling you those groups are inferior and ugly. It's definitely not everybody in the looksmaxxing community, but it's worth noting, considering most communities have their extremists.
This bro, absolutely. I feel like so so many things about beauty and appearance in general are racist under the surface. It reminds me of the whole fair skin thing if that makes sense :(
Good news, guys. Nikki has enough of a following now for spammers to appear. The good news is we can ignore them and not give them any engagement whatsoever, because engaging with rage bait is a trap.
its so sad that this is happening, body image issues are so serious and the people giving looksmaxxing tips and products and surgeries is kind of disgusting, companies trying to profit off insecurities in a new way
How is it disgusting if someone gives you effective tips and products to look better? Those tips are a lot more natural and better than putting 400 to 500 grams of pathetic make up in face which you females do.

Dude… I recently found out that my jaw is misshaped due to a tongue tie. My idiot ass is out here paying $6,500 for two years of Invisalign when I could have just put my tongue on the roof of my mouth?!?! 😤
@@mow_cat google it :) it’s easier to understand if you see a pic. Basically my tongue has limited motion in my mouth because it is connected to the bottom of my mouth. Because of that, my bottom jaw is a different shape than my top, causing a very crooked bite. Sorry I cannot explain better!

If mewing would work, I would have the strongest, cutting edge, most handsome jawline on the planet. As a young teen I was send to a speech therapist to relearn swallowing, because i pressed my tongue against my teeth wich would, over time, dislocate them. So i was told to press my tongue against the top of my mouth (pretty much mewing). I do this ever since, so why am I not gigachad Squidward yet???
i do the same thing just naturally (i think its bc theres not much space in my mouth ngl) and no i dont have a chiselled jaw lmao. granted its the double chin too but it just goes to show this is all eugenics-adjacent bogus
@@gwennorthcutt421real it’s got 99% to do with genetics cause even if you did everything the ‘looksmaxxers’ suggested the only thing that really matters is what you were born looking like

Genuinely did not know about the historical side of this and it’s one of things I appreciate from this channel, is that you give actual facts instead of it being like “oh yea this just happened out of nowhere”
That’s so much time and effort and it always shows! I love your videos! I learn things while being entertained and I love how you’re able to simplify things. Thank you so much!
NIKKI CARREON THE WOMAN YOU ARE!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ADORE YOUR AMAZING CONTENT. One can very clearly tell how much effort you put into these. Keep going and keep making amazing content !!💗
Some guys will try anything except gym, book, hobby and being polite to women. theres nothing wrong with trying to look better, but theres something odd about thinking attraction is a logical rubix cube that needs to be solved. Ah yes to f that girl at the bar i need to - raise chin by 15% - slant eyes by 25% - reduce ears to level 3
What do books have to do with anything? Reading doesn't make you attractive In my early 20s I used to not read and even looked down on people for it, now I love reading and trying to do it everyday. Amount of women attracted is the same: 0
i've been in maxillofacial orthodontics treatment for over 15 years, worn braces and a bunch of other devices (scarily similar to mew's torture contraptions lol) to fix my bite, i even got double jaw surgery in 2020 and the reasons were purely medical (i didn't have a severe underbite, just an underdeveloped arch to my maxillary bones but in the long time it would cause me health problems)... now i can bite perfectly and breathe way better. i had to do a lot of similar exercises to re-'activate' my MUSCLES but not even this type of surgery, thats basically correcting the same thing these guys are talking about will change your jawline because like you said... weight, face structure and genetics are the MAIN player on how your face looks.
It’s really evident the care and effort you put into these videos, I look forward to every single thing you post because I know it’s going to be good and thorough and the edits are 🤌🏻 chef’s kiss
honestly i love your content and the amount of work you put in every single video really shows, i can’t even FATHOM how you keep up with everything i actually admire you so much
I appreciate your coverage of this, its an issue that is both hilarious, and deserves compassion. Also, you did way better research on Mew than I've seen before, and laid out the apropriate incel ideaologies to like create a foundation for why incels are vulnerable to this predatory marketing. good shit, keep it up!
thank you for getting into the incel roots of looksmaxxing, it would have also been good if you talked about the phrenological and racist rhetoric that permeates discussion about facial and bone structure. maybe you could do a follow up video on that
I've really liked this video and your last video! feeling insecure in my appearance is such a hard thing to shake like even when I feel like I'm making big changes in my perspective, there are little pieces of that insecurity that persist and I feel like these videos have revealed some of those smaller pieces for me
Guys is having your tongue resting at the top of your mouth not just … normal? That’s literally my default state of being. Been mewing since birth I guess (my jawline is ass)
Thank u nikki. U have helped me a lot and opened my eyes 😭 even though i have always found "looks maxxing" videos very cringey it still got to me and made me feel like i was ugly for having chubby cheeks and not have a revealing jawline. I believed that mewing could actually improve my jawline but it didn't do anything. I have tried everything to lose weight and to look better but i slowly realized that the stuff i was doing to myself to simply look better were destroying me. it ruined me mentally. I really needed this video and im very thankful you talk about stuff like this. Keep the good work up. 🙏🏻💕
Meanwhile you watch anime featuring pointy featured characters and have one as your avatar. Why don't you find a fat faced character that looks like you - difficult when none of the heroes look like that in those racist bs cartoons. Self awareness lacking jack-ss.
I really enjoyed your bit about the history of Mewing, I've seen people talk about it but learning about where it came from and how it became a thing Inn the into community is really fascinating
To be fair, mewing mirrors a legitimate practice called orofacial myofunctional therapy. My dentist prescribed this to me, and it propounds that limited tongue mobility has an impact on our airway, jaw development, and speech. It might be leveraged by incels a lot, but it's real.
I feel like it should also be acknowledged that another one of the emojis typically used by proponents of mewing actually means Deaf (it's literally the ASL sign for Deaf) but they interpret it as just pointing out the jawline and use it to mean mewing, so it's starting to become associated with mewing instead, which I think is bad.
when i was about 11/12 and in the depths of my ED i heard about mewing on a toxic forum, and started doing it. since i adopted it as a regular habit that young, my resting face still includes mewing. i turn 19 soon and it hasn’t changed a single thing
Honestly, I started doing it at like 17-18 years of age because I wanted to look better and i believe it helps with proper breathing (mouth breathing). As expected - nothing noticeable in change but, I sleep better at least and my jaw doesnt hang out with my mouth open after talking
I agree, I’ve been doing meeting since I was 18 or so, now I’m 22 I can now guarantee that it did not change my facial structure. But my breathing has definitely improved as it forced me to breathe through my nose much more and use my mouth significantly less unless I did a strenuous workout
bro trust me, i didn't even do mew, mew is bs!! genetics is key for having good jawline, my dad has good jawline in his younger years, i saw it on our old family pic, that's why i inherited his genes for having jawline
yeah and they will always say it was hard work lol when really all they did was go through puberty my brother was short all the way til senior year and he became tall and masculine its just puberty

it's true though, white people are the most attractive race by far not to mention how smart and creative they are. Otherwise why did they conquer the whole world and not say blacks?
You don't even want to hear about Goatis/Sv3rige (Same guy, changed his channel name). It gets dark fast.
women talking about their height "preferences" has that undertone aswell. We're all eugenicists but nobody wants to admit that, its in our nature
I hate how the looksmaxxing community affects the younger crowd.. My son is in middle school and I realized he was seeing this stuff and it was making him feel less than the wonderful kid that he is.. He started asking for things to help "fix his jaw" and what not.. At first I thought he was just trying to have good hygiene and was just wanting to wash his face more until I realized the specific things he was asking for was exactly what these influencers were advertising that men needed to look attractive. So wrong. I hate it so much.
good now he will be forward grown as an adult and will have good facial structure i wish i knew it at his age
tell him about the toxicity of this community but also help him in becoming better looking in a healthy way. Good or not the world is full of vanity and you get a lot of societal privilege if you look good
He needs a good male role model, like a father, perhaps.
I'm totally okay with him learning about hygienic/healthy tips and working hard to stick with that routine. I see benefits in that.
But some of the Looksmaxxing trends he is seeing online from this community can be really harmful. I see it causing more insecurities in him and causing him to feel crappy about his facial features he will always have and can't change without surgery or fillers. Taking care of yourself is one thing, but it seems as though the younger crowd is seeing ALL of the trends thrown at them, and thinking "I need to change this about myself" instead of empowering them to love their bodies and take care of them in a healthy way. Being told that they have to fix A, B, and C, about themselves for status and attraction is ridiculous, and can be really damaging. @@ppmaks668

I remember in 2017 The Dolan Twins & Cameron Dallas were literally the Blueprint of Social Media Looksmaxing. They always called these guys “Bicycle seats” they’re just genetically beautiful but was so insecure.
😂😂
I’m not gonna lie, a lot of this looksmaxing stuff is giving eugenics. I’m being so serious. Jawlines, bone structure, and eye shape have all been things that eugenicists looked at to determine what a “desirable” child should look like. It’s really unnerving
Edit: eh I’m not gonna respond to anyone trying to argue with me anymore. I’m wasting my time trying to explain this shit to y’all. Take my point or leave it, peace and love
Eugenics and incels go together like America and school shootings
absolutely
100% immediate association

also why are 99% of they and their examples always white men
this was such a well researched video nikki! I've watched a few video essayists takes on looksmaxxing and urs is byfar the most enlightening!! loved it so much
You're my fav creator at the moment. Everything you do is thought out and well spoken. Its a refreshing break from the typical toxicity going around to see someone genuinely human and empathetic.
5:37 The thing about canthal tilt is interesting, because it's also been used as a way of appropriating traits that are more common in specific racial groups. Higher canthal tilt (from what I've read) is more common in East Asian peoples.
Add the eugenics that sometimes play into the darker side of some looks-based circles, and you have some people telling their audiences that they should get specific traits of some groups... while also telling you those groups are inferior and ugly. It's definitely not everybody in the looksmaxxing community, but it's worth noting, considering most communities have their extremists.
in a euro centric beauty system wouldn’t you want desirable features
@@Abysinner444 I apologize, but I don't really understand what you're asking.

This bro, absolutely. I feel like so so many things about beauty and appearance in general are racist under the surface. It reminds me of the whole fair skin thing if that makes sense :(
Good news, guys. Nikki has enough of a following now for spammers to appear. The good news is we can ignore them and not give them any engagement whatsoever, because engaging with rage bait is a trap.
its so sad that this is happening, body image issues are so serious and the people giving looksmaxxing tips and products and surgeries is kind of disgusting, companies trying to profit off insecurities in a new way
@SWOONYMOONYMost companies profit from actual demand and interest in quality of their products. Insecurity lures are pretty rare
I always tried those like videos that are like slimer nose! Or slim jawline, im glad i understood they were fake before mewing came around😭🤫🧏♀️

I remember seeing one of these looksmaxxing influencers rating celebrities attractiveness. Jacob Elordi got a 6.5/10
I- …
that's insane, especially since he is so close to that classic sharp attractive look
tbf Jacob Elrodi is gross. I don't know any women attracted to him and I wouldn't want to tbh. Tall, white bleh, seen hundreds of em
Jacob elordi is most famous because he’s 6’5 if you put his face on a 5’9 body he’s just going to be the average attractive guy in your neighborhood, not Hollywood
6.5/10 points in the face, boosted to a 10 because of his 6'5" height.
the standard theyre trying to reach is NOT ATTRACTIVE imo 😭🙏
like its giving handsome squidward
@@cara_lina normal squidward is more handsome tbh😭🙏
i agree 😭 plus it’s just so unhealthy because it’s mainly celebrities that they’re idolizing, who have a ton of money and access to beauty and skincare and plastic surgery options. like if they were to dislike something enough about themselves to change it, they could easily drop $45k to ‘fix’ it

Dude… I recently found out that my jaw is misshaped due to a tongue tie. My idiot ass is out here paying $6,500 for two years of Invisalign when I could have just put my tongue on the roof of my mouth?!?! 😤
“Doctors don’t want you to know this one simple trick! “☝️🤓
tmj disorder? what is a tongue tie?
@@mow_cat google it :) it’s easier to understand if you see a pic. Basically my tongue has limited motion in my mouth because it is connected to the bottom of my mouth. Because of that, my bottom jaw is a different shape than my top, causing a very crooked bite. Sorry I cannot explain better!
@@mow_cat It's "when a tight band of tissue connects the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth, keeping it from moving freely".
That whole eye tilt thing is just about what angle you're looking at the camera

If mewing would work, I would have the strongest, cutting edge, most handsome jawline on the planet. As a young teen I was send to a speech therapist to relearn swallowing, because i pressed my tongue against my teeth wich would, over time, dislocate them. So i was told to press my tongue against the top of my mouth (pretty much mewing). I do this ever since, so why am I not gigachad Squidward yet???
high body fat percentage
Genetics. You don't have the genetics for a model tier face
to mew u have to press hard/suck against the top of ur mouth
i do the same thing just naturally (i think its bc theres not much space in my mouth ngl) and no i dont have a chiselled jaw lmao. granted its the double chin too but it just goes to show this is all eugenics-adjacent bogus
@@gwennorthcutt421real it’s got 99% to do with genetics cause even if you did everything the ‘looksmaxxers’ suggested the only thing that really matters is what you were born looking like

Great presentation. Really well rounded!
🤔🤔🤔
i've been in maxillofacial orthodontics treatment for over 15 years, worn braces and a bunch of other devices (scarily similar to mew's torture contraptions lol) to fix my bite, i even got double jaw surgery in 2020 and the reasons were purely medical (i didn't have a severe underbite, just an underdeveloped arch to my maxillary bones but in the long time it would cause me health problems)... now i can bite perfectly and breathe way better. i had to do a lot of similar exercises to re-'activate' my MUSCLES but not even this type of surgery, thats basically correcting the same thing these guys are talking about will change your jawline because like you said... weight, face structure and genetics are the MAIN player on how your face looks.

thank you for getting into the incel roots of looksmaxxing, it would have also been good if you talked about the phrenological and racist rhetoric that permeates discussion about facial and bone structure. maybe you could do a follow up video on that
You get treated better by people because of your bone structure. Fact
I've really liked this video and your last video! feeling insecure in my appearance is such a hard thing to shake like even when I feel like I'm making big changes in my perspective, there are little pieces of that insecurity that persist and I feel like these videos have revealed some of those smaller pieces for me

Thank u nikki. U have helped me a lot and opened my eyes 😭 even though i have always found "looks maxxing" videos very cringey it still got to me and made me feel like i was ugly for having chubby cheeks and not have a revealing jawline. I believed that mewing could actually improve my jawline but it didn't do anything. I have tried everything to lose weight and to look better but i slowly realized that the stuff i was doing to myself to simply look better were destroying me. it ruined me mentally. I really needed this video and im very thankful you talk about stuff like this. Keep the good work up. 🙏🏻💕

@danielzip8785 grow up child
Meanwhile you watch anime featuring pointy featured characters and have one as your avatar. Why don't you find a fat faced character that looks like you - difficult when none of the heroes look like that in those racist bs cartoons. Self awareness lacking jack-ss.
I really enjoyed your bit about the history of Mewing, I've seen people talk about it but learning about where it came from and how it became a thing Inn the into community is really fascinating
To be fair, mewing mirrors a legitimate practice called orofacial myofunctional therapy. My dentist prescribed this to me, and it propounds that limited tongue mobility has an impact on our airway, jaw development, and speech. It might be leveraged by incels a lot, but it's real.
I feel like it should also be acknowledged that another one of the emojis typically used by proponents of mewing actually means Deaf (it's literally the ASL sign for Deaf) but they interpret it as just pointing out the jawline and use it to mean mewing, so it's starting to become associated with mewing instead, which I think is bad.
when i was about 11/12 and in the depths of my ED i heard about mewing on a toxic forum, and started doing it. since i adopted it as a regular habit that young, my resting face still includes mewing. i turn 19 soon and it hasn’t changed a single thing
Honestly, I started doing it at like 17-18 years of age because I wanted to look better and i believe it helps with proper breathing (mouth breathing).
As expected - nothing noticeable in change but, I sleep better at least and my jaw doesnt hang out with my mouth open after talking
I agree, I’ve been doing meeting since I was 18 or so, now I’m 22
I can now guarantee that it did not change my facial structure. But my breathing has definitely improved as it forced me to breathe through my nose much more and use my mouth significantly less unless I did a strenuous workout
bro trust me, i didn't even do mew, mew is bs!! genetics is key for having good jawline, my dad has good jawline in his younger years, i saw it on our old family pic, that's why i inherited his genes for having jawline
just wanted to say that i love the editing style sm never change
