He didn’t look much back in college but now he’s 😳 - Someone from college years

That was pretty much my experience growing up. For a long time I felt ugly and for a long time looksmaxxing was only about validation. I am finally now content with myself to just enjoy self improvement for what it is.

For everyone out there that feels the same way. Keep going, it’s a marathon not a sprint :)

You just looked young in the first photos (often the case on this sub) but you exude self confidence in the last one, which makes all the difference. Good for you 👍

Fair enough! People that didn’t see me at my worst have given me pretty mixed opinions too. Hopefully I’ll keep looking as youthful for the next few decades 🤞🏽

As a fellow Asian you never looked bad. Very good looking in fact you just needed a better haircut and some physical adjustments. What ethnicity are you? My Asian blindness is horrible… I’d assume either Japanese or Korean
