For you guys who swear by lifting, why didn't it work for me?

Lifting is for you brother. Lifting is for physical and mental health. It teaches you persistence you'll have more stamina for sex and higher testosterone levels.

You need game and social skills for women. Lifting won't cure awkwardness or social retardation. Learn how to get your flirt on.

I started off really skinny so it was much more noticeable. But I think the biggest thing we gain is confidence. And when you lower your body fat percentage to sub 13% it literally changes your face structure. Makes your jaw more prominent.

Remember men and women communicate differently. They are a lot more subtle.

All those gym memes about how only guys notice your gains are bullshit. Very rarely will a woman flat out tell you that your muscles make her wet. But if you are paying attention. You WILL notice it.

But that's about women...and lifting is so much more than that. If after 3 years you still aren't feeling any different mentally, then you've missed the point of self development (which is why lifting is always recommended but lifting isn't the only way to do that but the red pill isn't ready for that conversation yet).

How much you bench?

+1 to SMV is very valuable.

It didn't work for you because of you. Lifting is supposed to give you that boost and "I'm the prize" feeling by proxy. If you lifted and it didn't do that, it's something else.

What did you weigh before and how much do you weigh now?

Yah I have a physique that I can comfortably say is in the top 10% of men but it doesn't really do much for me tbh. I usually pull due to my game I don't even feel like girls pay attention to the fact that I'm muscular.

Sounds like you've been working on your outer frame but not your inner game.

If you've really been lifting heavy for 3 years then that obviously isn't the problem. There's something about your mindset that's holding you back..

It’s not working for you because you did it with the only goal in mind of banging hoes rather then doing it for yourself and enjoying yourself

How's your face, looks wise? How is your personality? Confidence? Style? Dress sense?

Lift all you want, look like a Greek God, but if you're ugly, autistic, self-pitying, and dress like a 14 year old goth, then it'll make zero difference.

Remember, it's about a combination of things.

ya u don't lift so that women will want to check out your tits and ass.. they don't work like that.

you work out becuz you want to live a good life for the long-haul. you want to have self-respect. you want to be strong for its own sake. it WILL help you with women to not be a scrawny piece of shit, but that's not really what women care about so don't expect a masculine physique to get more attention than a fun personality or talents or social status. u gotta actually get out there it's not coming to you.

It's because you're no longer in the "Golden Ratio". You should aim to be skinny, but not necessarily 6-PK skinny, that's unhealthy and why women don't care for it, same with your muscles, they should be big, but not Arnold Schwarzenegger huge. You just need to strike the right balance. But remember, not all women are going to be attracted to you, no matter how fat or skinny you are, that's the "Game of Life".

Having a good body is just one factor. Other things such as face, confidence, height, humor, money, and status matter as well.

It could be that while you’re good at one thing, body, you’re below average at all the others
