clavicular filmed himself getting rejected in paris and the internet has a lot to say about that
a looksmaxxing influencer, a UFC fighter's block, and a city full of women who apparently did not get the memo. reactions are in.
clavicular went to paris to walk a runway and ended up filming himself getting rejected by women on the streets, which is either the most confident thing a person can do or the least, depending on who you ask. the new york post and bloody elbow both covered the footage this week, and the opinions are not exactly a unified front.
bloody elbow focused on the bia mesquita situation specifically. per their report, the unbeaten UFC star apparently gave clavicular her number on a viral stream and then blocked him, with the piece noting the reaction online included the observation that, quote, "he looks terrible." the clip is out there. chat has seen it.
the international business times uk ran a headline calling it a "massive hit" to his looksmaxxing era, pointing to footage in which someone allegedly asked him "are you famous?" in a tone that was not, per the framing of the piece, a compliment. the irony of a man who spent tens of thousands of dollars on surgical procedures being asked if he is anyone is not lost on anyone covering this.
unherd took the whole situation and swung for something bigger, arguing that clavicular has "exposed the hollowness of american dating culture," which is a sentence that exists now. their angle treats the rejection footage less as a dunking opportunity and more as a symptom of something. the comment section reportedly did not reach consensus.
a and e ran a full explainer piece titled "who is clavicular" covering the looksmaxxing arc, the legal troubles, and the surgery timeline, which means we are officially in the phase where mainstream outlets are onboarding people who have never heard of him. the lore grows whether he wins or loses the interaction.
the general read across the reaction pieces is something like: a guy who built an identity around being maximally attractive went to one of the most photographed cities in the world, pointed a camera at himself getting turned down repeatedly, and posted it. some people think that is delusional. some think it is actually brave. the new york post did not editorialize much. they just described what happened.
anyway. paris was not the mog destination the summit brochure implied.
