I have not gymmaxed. While I am fit, I'm nowhere near gymmax.
@sangheilios is closer to being a gymmax person than I am. He's 6'4" and muscular.
I have been going to the gym 3-5 days a week for the last decade. Even during 2020, I was doing YouTube home workouts. I still am involved in some sports.
I have gotten a decent amount of vagina lifetime. There's been some quality vagina. However, there has been more struggling despite immense study of seduction and a few other natural advantages than there honestly should have been over the course of the last 21 years of participation in the mating environment.
I meant about the post where you referenced someone you knew who gymmaxed but wasn't going anywhere. However, since you mentioned it, there is
@sangheilios , because at the end of the day you need to have an attractive face and look sure of yourself. You don't turn into a Brad Pitt celebrity because you gymmmax.
You SHOULD try gymmaxxing because you are good with approaches, so it may help you since you are already socially calibrated. If you are not good with approaches then its probably a waste of time.
I'm not gymmaxed or a "gymcel". Yes, I'm 6'4" and fit/muscular but I'm not on steroids, you won't see me carrying shaker bottles or a week's worth of prepped meals in tupperware. I naturally have very good genetics for athleticism/strength/muscle and it's a hobby I enjoy. I go about 4 days per week + yoga afterwards and do some hiking here and there, but if I need a break I take it, again this is a hobby I enjoy. However, I also have a full time job, school/career ambitions, investment/financial goals and other hobbies/passtimes. I also have an attractive face, so taking all of this into consideration I'm not a "gymcel".
In my opinion, I think the gymcel/gymmaxxing stuff is an issue for men who are like this. There are quite a few guys that I know of, not friends but just people that I know, who really have nothing else going for them besides going to the gym. Many of them are indeed on steroids, often times they are also on the shorter side as well, something that I've witnessed over the many years of being around the gym environment. The biggest issue, in my opinion, is that these men lack in regards to social skills, they have no other interests and really don't bring all that much to the table. For instance, there is one guy that I know who is very fit and muscular, average height and decent looking but has no money, no car, and at one point was a bouncer......so basically he was/is what people think of when the word "gym bro" or "meathead" comes to their mind. Let's say you get a guy like this, who has a nice body, and he goes out with a woman.....what the hell is he going to talk to her about? When she tries to get to know him she's going to find out that all he has is a gym body and that he literally brings next to nothing else to the table. I don't care what people say on here, a guy like that is going to be seen as a very unattractive dating prospect.
Something else that I've mentioned on here is when you get guys who are super OCD about their diet/lifestyle. Imagine having a friend who goes out with you and he refuses to have a slice of cake or maybe get appetizers because it's not on his diet plan.....does that sound like someone who would be socially popular? There is no reason to be living like this unless you get these people who are prepping for these stupid competitions. I easily maintain a fit body fat percentage by training and eating a healthy diet, I eat as much as I want but it's hard to gain fat when you are eating lean proteins, fruits, veggies, etc.
