Before you downvote, this is something I've noticed from my own personal recollection.
I'm 6'5 and 220lb, noticeably muscular after 2 years of lifting but still a little pudgy.
Whenever I go clubbing/bars on days where I lift earlier that day, I notice a lack of IOI's, girls being receptive to me, and smiling at me when talking etc. It feels odd.
However, when going clubbing on days where it's my rest day, I notice I get a lot of attention, girls interested in me, more hookups etc.
Could this be a testosterone thing? We know lifting increases testosterone but I've read up that on days you lift, your overall testosterone can decrease to the levels of pre-pubescent because of changes in your body on lifting days. It then levels out back to base levels once it goes back up.
Don't quote me on that but I'll update the thread once I find the source.
Has anyone else noticed this? I feel that meeting girls on lifting days is bad for me as I get less success which is why I only go on dates on rest days.
