Introduction
One potential niche looksmax that I think is underrated here is growing a big beard. Before anyone says it, yes if you are good looking it has the potential to hurt you and yes it is niche and will not give you widespread appeal. If you are really struggling, this is one potential niche that you could explore instead of following the 'classic' looksmaxxer ideal.
Successful Examples
Instead of explaining it I will just show you successful examples:
Failed Examples
People who attempted this niche but failed:
Who Improves the Most?
Okay from looking at pics I have found that some facial features make growing a big beard look very good and some don't.
What you should have:
-Beard density, this is the only one normies realize. There are ways to improve this such as minox.
-Good eye area, once you hide your jaw it destroys the eye area vs jaw battle (Two most important parts of an attractive face) and puts a lot more emphasis on the eye area.
Angularity, which includes:
-A strong browridge, again since the jaw is hidden the browridge becomes the primary indicator of dimorphism in the face (other than the beard itself). This also relates back to the good eye area point.
-An angular nose, a nose that isn't bulbous and ideally is straight and sharp. It could have a bump on it too like the first examples.
Now there are bad features that could be frauded away, they are:
-Bad lower third. Anything such as small thin lips, small jaw, etc can be improved. Now if you're like birdcel it will still be obvious, but if you are someone who is only slightly recessed or has a slightly bad jaw (that nonetheless hurts their looks a lot) you could benefit a lot from this.
-Long midface, If you have a long midface a beard could take attention away from it.
Limitations
First limitation is obviously the niche appeal. Many people will say no jb appeal but if you already don't have any jb appeal because you're ugly this could help you greatly.
Second is that not everyone can grow a big beard. I know many people here are young so they won't be even able to consider this until years later.
