Ok, so this chick that I've been seeing wants to see some, in her text message words, "sexy pics". To make a long story short, I'm not really fat but my body isn't like Will Smith in "I Am Legend" or anything either. I have somewhat or a belly, but you can't see it when I wear clothes or even when I wear "Under Armour" gear when I work out. I have ok abs, but not so great.

Idk what to do. Because like this chick has the body of like........idk "insert random hot chick's name". Mabye Deion Sanders wife (if you haven't seen her body, look it up) And I think that she thinks I have a great looking body because I work out and I'm so athletic. So I'm like "****in A dude".

Any advice anyone???

One guy said, "tell her she has to see it for herself". Any other/better advice?

Send her a face shot. Whatever. It doesn't matter.

If you're seeking to date her at some point, the truth is going to have to come out. NO need to be insecure with your body, most men don't even have Will's physique.

What's weirder is this girl I'm with thinks I'm in such good shape but I'm obviously not... keeps saying I have a hot body when I don't really work out that much anymore at all

It's a photo. If 14 year old girls on myspace can use crazy angels to make themselves look more attractive, I'm sure you can do it too (though not in a corny, immature myspace kind of way). Also, you should be working out, it'll be a big help with women.

Don't use angles , don't trim ur pics. If you look better in a pic that u are in real life she will be disappointed when she sees you. Try to make her like you for what you are. This is why Online game its bad. Because people discriminate you through your looks. If ur not hot in the picture they will think ur not attractive and they will not respond to your dominance.

buddy...

Send her a face pic.... and as it has been suggested earlier...if you are planning to date her...the truth is gonna come out sooner or later...

But the breaking point will be if you are insecure about your body. If you carry urself confidently....I dont see any reason why the girl would reject you....but if u feel insecure...it will show in ur body language and pass on weird message to the girl...

So be confident and play your game....

LOL, why Will Smith in I am Legend and who the heck is Deion's Sanders wife?

HB: "I want to see some sexy pics"
Bigtucker: "In due time - it's a work in progress. Are you hungry? Lets go grab some pizza."

It all depends how SMART you are in responding. Guys always feel they have to approach and answer every single question and topic the girls asks head on. If you are SMART about it, you would change the subject and occupy her with something else. Once you make it important, it's going to come up again and again and will cause you grief and headaches. To avoid this, again, it all depends how SMART you are.

The Don Juan forum doesn't need visitors, it just needs robots programmed to post "WORK OUT MORE." whenever someone asks for advice.:rolleyes:

Well maybe that's the answer? Women like guys that are built. Dudes want hot women when look like that kid in the Transformers movie. The shi t aint too complicated.

Maybe it is -- but women like guys who are financially well-off, yet we don't see people telling advice-seekers to build an investment portfolio.

Why?

Because the advice isn't helpful within any reasonable time-frame. Investing is smart, but it isn't going to help the guy logging onto here looking for advice on how to attract more women. Maybe 5-10 years down the road, when investments mature it will help him through increased financial stability, but right now? Not so much.

Similarly, the robots on here come and continuously post "Go work out" or "Lift more weights" or "Go to the gym."

Same situation -- a very good goal, but one that will take months and years to produce desired results (the "built" body you're talking about) -- especially if the person seeking advice has never been on a structured diet and workout program before.

Working out is great, but it's crap advice for someone who is just looking for some help dealing with women or his own self-esteem. May as well tell him "Go do this, come back in 10 months, and we'll help you."

If you have body insecurity, that means it will affect your overall confidence levels, thus, your masculinity to a degree.
So if you're feeling insecure about your appearance, it will come out in your expressions and your interactions, thus, giving off the appearance that you're an insecure guy overall.

Its like a domino effect.
Its ok to have some insecurities, and be vulnerable.
But its not ok when it dominates all your thinking, thus, affecting your decision making. Because youre making decions based on fears and insecurities.

Again, its ok to be vulnerable and have some insecurities,but the key things is how you HANDLE these things. How do you address them?
Do they dominate your entire being and consciousness? Are you obsessing over your insecurities? Are you feeling attacked if a person acknowledges it to you??

The best thing is to admit and acknowledge you have an insecurity.
But take action to change it to something you desire, something favorable to you. So take a positive outlook on a situation that is not permanent.
If its not permanent, then it can be changed for the better, right?
Are you doing something to make it more favorable to you?
You're doing this for yourself, for your appearance, not for this woman.
If she accepts you as you are, then that is actually a really good thing.
Because having a woman accept you and love you the way you are is what you want in your life.
So if she finds you attractive even if you dont have a six pack, then accept it and be happy with it. If YOU want a six pack , ripped physique, then do it for yourself. She will still more than likely love you and accept you that way too.

But she will be attracted to how you move your body. How you express yourself physically. And how you handle emotions too. How do you handle being intimate and vulnerable? How do you handle adversities, conflicts, obstacles, meddling people, etc???
She wants to know your Emotional Strength and Integrity of Character.

So these are the things that will excite her too.
How do you arouse her? How do you relate to her sexually?
How do you touch her??
These things dont really have anything to do with your belly or six pack.

How do you treat her?
with respect? Or like shes just another piece of meat?
Do you make an effort to listen to her, and 'see' her?
Or are you checked out, and dont give a sh*t who she is or anything about her?
She wants to know if you have high self esteem, self respect, and are capable of treating her right. She wants to discover if you have the RESOURCES to share with her.
Or are you a needy/clingy and approval seeking nervous wreck???

This has nothing to do with your physique, only in the sense if you take pride in your appearance in a healthy way, and pay attention to grooming and hygiene.
That shows her you have high self esteem.
The guy who is OBSESSED with having a six pack actually needs approval and acceptance, thus, he has low self esteem.


Women really DO like a man to have a nice, manly strong body.
But theyre not usually obsessed with it.
They DO want their partners to have resources and emotional strength, and how they move through life is VERY important to them too.

I hope this helps.
