Is everyone working out??

[TheGambino]

i care about u Guys.. I trust my mom 2 of my best friends and All of You.. that's iT!! And god..

Go Work the f out who isnt go to the closest gym and start working out..

Its important for almost everything in life not only women for yourself!!

 

[resilient]

Yep. Where I live in SoCal almost everyone hits the gym on the regular.

So many other bros fit down here.

Competition is tight.

One of the ways you stand out is if you have more definition than just standard bulk.

Clothes, accessories, groomed nicely go well to fit the sculpted body...

Even this little dude is hitting the gym:

Then why do guys like @soulforge still get treated like garbage by OLD girls.

You can get a great body, but girls have seen it before.

Try being a millionaire, that will put you in a rare category.

@soulforge mentioned previously in another thread that his finances aren't in top order and need improvement. Women respect a man who has his financial house in order.

Looks are part of the equation, money and personality are the other two major factors in SMV.

Lifting helps get your foot in the door when it comes to passing the attraction test.

IMO, muscles are a substitute for something else, such as money.

And having muscles isn't always necessary in order for a girl to find you attractive. It is a complete alteration of your lifestyle to work out so much that you look like a bodybuilder. I'm just not willing to do it because I don't think it would be worth the investment.

I was talking to a super hot girl on SA. She replied by asking me why I'm even on that site and said I seem too "young and handsome" for a site like that and I'm skinny as ****.

Building is NEVER about getting the girl... Yes it definitely helps get your foot into the door.. The initial attraction will get you the date..

But then you need personality, game, confidence...

Getting a chick to sleep with you is easy, but keeping her in a LTR is another ball game all together..

Training will certainly help boost your confidence.. And the dedication and work it takes to get that awesome body, that same dedication can be transferred over to building a great career..

Bodybuilding can help you become physicaly and MENTALLY stronger.. These two things will help you succeed in life..

Get your finances in check... get your looks and body in check, and you will do so much better with the females..

Right now i am physically in GREAT shape.. I left the gym today, and noticed alteast 4-5 woman check me out..

And around 5 dudes size me up..

However my finances are a fuking mess.. got some serious debts.. Once my financial situation has eased, I will be in a much better place..

As for the OLD chicks.. Well they are mostly bat chit crazy anyway..

At the moment I am getting 5-6 numbers daily from online.. and pretty much most of that is due to me looking hench..

Biches be shallow online!

It's OLD, the chicks there and unstable or fvcked up. Really easy to get laid if you are built right, but then it's a coin flip from there which way it goes.

Not working out but trying to eat cleaner...

I'm 56, naturally lean and work keeps me fit. So just trying to maintain.

I subsist on homemade iced coffee. I was buying too much from various fast food and gas stations that I had to start making my own. Even started making my own flavored syrups.

Which, by the way, is an "interesting conversation" you could have to show off your interests to a girl... But that only lasts for 3 minutes until more important things come into play.

My finances are in good standing.

I would consider myself better than average looking.

Working out has been a lifestyle change for almost 4 years now. I do not work for or advertise for beachbody but I subscribe to their fitness products and if you follow them to the letter, you will see significant change. I started with P90X. Completed the 90 days and holy sheet. It can be done. Then I moved on to P90X3. Did 180 days. Then I moved on to bodybeast. Dynamic set training with all the super sets and giant sets is a great build for the foundation. Phase 2 is more reps. Phase 3 is slow motion reps. Slow motion is also found in the latter phases of P90X. I also have done 30 days of Hammer and Chisel. Leg training is intense but what I found most valuable was the isometric holds. You could incorporate the slow motion sets with isometric holds and call that simply "Final Phase", and then start over from the beginning to negate a plateau.

Nutrition has been mostly on point for about a year and it is very easy, very good, and cheap but takes effort to dial it in.

Everyday is 30 mins and who doesn't have time for that? Permanent heart and lung structures are built from P90X. X3 and BB are both mostly 30 min routines.

After 4 years and at 36 and a dad I do cheat and I'm not where I want to be but I do receive compliments and attract the hotter ones. I look great when I first wake up and after a workout, otherwise my shoulders and back are my defining points as that seems to be where my body likes to lay muscle. Chest has been a main focus for me since the beginning and it just won't build like I want it to. I think it's a gene thing.

Every morning tho for the most part. I'm not cut but I can take off my shirt at the pool and I would honestly judge your fitness level on the comfortability of having your shirt off because that is what the women are going to be feeling/seeing.

Social status has been my hang up lately in my own mind and hypergamy. I'm a mechanic divorced with 3 kids 50/50. I make just over 100k per year but I'm still a mechanic. And I can butter it up too - Senior Master Technician with Ford, 18 years, Lead Tech - still a mechanic. Also own my own shop and have for years but...still a mechanic. So, a banker/lawyer/a lot of things, won't see me as potential LTR but will fuk me for the alpha in me and run back to bf or whoever.

Which is great and fun but LTR means essentially going below my social status, imo, i.e. Cashier, bartender, maybe a nurse (LPN/CNA).

I hit the gym 3x week to lift. Run, bike, hike, box and play baseball between. Watch diet carefully. I'm over 45.

You forgot one: Looks, money, personality and social status are usually the four factors mentioned.

 

[Erik VL]

IMO, muscles are a substitute for something else, such as money.

Then your opinion is wrong. Looks is one basic factor, not a substitute for another factor.

And having muscles isn't always necessary in order for a girl to find you attractive. It is a complete alteration of your lifestyle to work out so much that you look like a bodybuilder. I'm just not willing to do it because I don't think it would be worth the investment

If working out twice a week is a complete alteration of your lifestyle, then you need that alteration. If nothing else than to avoid having a back as weak as a leaf the last few decades of your life.

"isn't always necessary". That can be used to ditch any tips ever made about dating, so we can just skip them all if that is a valid counter-argument.

"look like a bodybuilder". Strawman argument. How tiresome it is when people who know nothing about weight lifting think it is all about becoming the bodybuilders they have seen pictures of. Yes, because we eat 4,000 calories and train every day, right?

BRO, I feel you

I've changed my mind on this over the years. The science is pretty definitive. Weight lifting or other resistance training improves your body and your mind. Mainly I play racquet sports which I love. I do two light weight sessions a week to maintain tone. Going to kick it up a level now Spring s here.
