Looksmaxxing is not a real word and you can't convince me otherwise. At least with older cultural trends words were used vaguely correctly; calling something "cool" still made more sense than calling something "fire" because the latter is either a noun or a verb, but not an adjective which the former can be.

As a neologism it's too long, ugly, and awkward. "Preening" has always worked pretty well.
