The Looksmaxxing Chart Explained.
Male
Female
In short
The looksmaxxing chart is a 1–10 scale used in looksmaxxing communities to rate physical attractiveness and benchmark where someone stands. It runs from Subhuman (1–2) at the bottom through three Normie tiers — Low Tier Normie (LTN), Mid Tier Normie (MTN), and High Tier Normie (HTN) — then Chadlite (7), Chad (8), Adamlite (9), and True Adam (10) at the top. Scores are based on four factors: facial harmony, sexual dimorphism, angularity (bone structure and body fat percentage), and skin and presentation.
What are the 8 tiers in looksmaxxing?
What the community actually means by each label.
Severe structural asymmetry, significant deformities, or genetic outliers. Often involves conditions requiring medical or orthodontic correction to reach functional baseline appearance.
Noticeably unfavorable features — poor facial harmony, low bone structure definition, or compounding presentation issues such as poor skin, grooming, or body composition.
The lower end of average. Features that go mostly unnoticed. Typically some unfavorable trait — a recessed chin, weak jaw, or asymmetry — that blends into the overall picture rather than standing out.
The true median. Unremarkable in both directions — no defining flaw, no defining strength. Features blend into the population without positive or negative attention.
Noticeably above average. One or two strong traits — a defined jaw, good eye area, or solid body composition — that register consciously. With strong presentation, can read closer to Chadlite.
High facial symmetry, genuine bone structure, and a developed physique. Multiple strong traits working together. Considered the threshold on the chart where appearance generates consistent, unsolicited attention.
Top-tier aesthetics across multiple axes. Striking features, strong facial harmony, and a physique that complements. Consistently attractive to most people, regardless of type or preference.
Genetic outliers. Top 1% or rarer across face, body, and height. Adamlite (9) reaches this in at least two categories. True Adam (10) is the absolute peak — model-tier in all three. Effectively unchosen, not built.
What the chart actually measures
Four pillars determine your position — and not all of them are fixed.
Facial Harmony
How well your features interact with each other — measured loosely against the golden ratio (φ ≈ 1.618) and the rule of thirds. Strong harmony means no single feature dominates in a distracting way.
Dimorphism
How clearly a face reads as masculine or feminine. For men: jawline definition, brow ridge, and cheekbone structure. For women: cheekbones, lip fullness, and facial delicacy. Higher sexual dimorphism correlates with higher scores on the chart.
Angularity
Bone sharpness and low body fat percentage around the chin, jaw, and cheeks. Reducing body fat reveals underlying bone structure and is the primary driver of angularity for most people.
Skin & Presentation
Skin clarity, hair health, teeth, grooming, and style. The most controllable of the four factors. Can shift someone across tiers within the Normie range but does not compensate for structural deficits at higher tiers.
The changes that actually move your score
Most people stuck in the Normie range have the same three things holding them back: their jaw, their chin, and their nose. These are the features the chart weights most heavily — and the ones that change how your whole face reads, both straight-on and from the side.
A weak jaw or recessed chin is the most common reason someone plateaus at LTN or MTN regardless of how dialled their skin and grooming is. A nose that throws off your facial balance does the same. These aren't fixed by soft max — but before going further, it's worth actually seeing what a change would look like on your face.

Two entirely different paths — and knowing which applies to you matters before spending anything.
Soft Maxxing
- Skin: retinol, SPF, actives, hydration
- Body fat: cutting to 10–15% reveals existing jaw and cheekbone structure
- Hair: cut and style that matches your face shape
- Grooming: beard shape, brows, teeth
- Style: fit, color palette, accessories
- Posture and mewing: improves jawline read over time
- Sleep: the fastest free intervention on skin and eye area
Hard Maxxing
- Rhinoplasty: bridge, tip, and profile refinement
- Jaw / chin implants: structural augmentation of the lower third
- Genioplasty: surgical chin projection
- Buccal fat removal: hollows the mid-face for angularity
- Fillers: jawline, chin, under-eye — temporary, reversible
- Hair restoration: transplant or PRP for hairline
- Lip lift: shortens philtrum, improves facial proportion
Can you actually move up the chart?
Yes — with an honest read on where you are and what's driving the score. Most people in the 4–6 range have a clear soft-max path that moves them one to two tiers with no procedures involved. The jump from LTN to HTN is often a combination of body composition, skin, and a haircut.
Structural changes — jaw, chin, nose — are what push HTN toward Chadlite and beyond. That range is where most hard-max decisions happen, and where seeing a realistic preview of the specific change matters most. Semblance is built for exactly that: one photo, one procedure, a realistic visualization on your actual face.
Looksmaxxing FAQ
Common questions.
What is the looksmaxxing chart?+
The looksmaxxing chart is a 1–10 scale for rating physical attractiveness, used widely in looksmaxxing communities. It ranks appearance based on four pillars: facial harmony, sexual dimorphism, angularity, and skin and presentation. Tiers range from Subhuman (1–2) up through the Normie range (LTN, MTN, HTN), then Chadlite, Chad, Adamlite, and True Adam at 10.
What is a Chadlite?+
A Chadlite is someone scoring around 7 on the looksmaxxing scale. It represents genuine bone structure, high facial symmetry, and a physique that reads — multiple strong traits working together. It's considered the ceiling for most soft-max journeys and the threshold where someone receives consistent, unsolicited attention based on appearance.
What is a True Adam in looksmaxxing?+
A True Adam is the 10 on the looksmaxxing chart — a genetic outlier who ranks in the top fraction of a percent across face, body, and height simultaneously. Adamlite (9) achieves this in at least two of those three categories. True Adam is generally considered unchosen rather than built — the absolute peak of conventional attractiveness.
What does "cooked" mean in looksmaxxing?+
"Cooked" is looksmaxxing slang for a facial structure judged too unfavorable to improve meaningfully — typically referring to severe jaw recession, poor bone structure, or features that score low across all four chart pillars simultaneously. It is used within the community to describe cases where neither soft maxxing nor hard maxxing is expected to produce significant tier movement.
What is the difference between soft maxxing and hard maxxing?+
Soft maxxing covers non-invasive improvements: skincare, diet and body fat reduction, hair, grooming, style, posture, and sleep. Hard maxxing refers to cosmetic procedures — rhinoplasty, jaw or chin implants, genioplasty, fillers, buccal fat removal, and hair transplants.
What are LTN, MTN, and HTN?+
LTN (Low Tier Normie), MTN (Mid Tier Normie), and HTN (High Tier Normie) are subcategories within the 5–6 range on the looksmaxxing chart. LTN is the lower end of average — features that go unnoticed with one unfavorable trait. MTN is the true median, unremarkable in either direction. HTN has one or two genuinely strong traits and, with good presentation, can read near Chadlite.
What structural changes move you the most on the chart?+
Jaw definition, chin projection, and nose profile have the highest chart impact among structural changes. They affect the lower third and side profile directly — the two areas the community weighs most heavily. Before committing to any procedure, a realistic AI preview on your own photo is the clearest way to assess the impact.
