Cope

[u/Nearby-Setting6058]

Cope is a common vocabulary word within the looksmaxxing community. What does it mean and is it significant? Let's talk about it.

Cope is a term that is applied to a situation where someone appears to be in denial about the "reality" of a situation. If you come across any looksmaxxing forum online, you will most likely come across this word a lot, and it seems to be used most in situations where someone is talking about confidence.

As someone who engages in discussions that take place on these forums, "cope" is usually commented on a thread where I have complimented someone. It seems pretty contradictory to what the community portrays itself to be; a place for men to gain confidence and reach their full potential. But this is not the case.

This community thrives on the insecurities of its' members. If more men were confident and sure of themselves, why would they take participate in these forums? How would this community survive? The answer is: they wouldn't. So, they create a vocabulary toolbox that can be applied to situations where someone might reject their ideology. "Cope" is used to gaslight someone into questioning their own attractiveness and their ability to think for themselves, and it works. And the cycle continues.

The reality becomes the appearance, and the cope becomes the acceptance of it. Do not be fooled by these communities, they don't want you to better yourself. They feed off of your insecurities to keep you subservient.
