I don’t get it...I’m pretty muscular and lean but girls aren’t looking at me/giving me IOI’s. What am I doing wrong?

I feel like girls get attracted to me, not to the ones who talk a lot and laugh.

My best guess is that your friends are social but not necessarily in control of the social circle. Remember, it's not about laughing and having fun. It's about being so amused by your own awesomeness that other people can't resist.

Also, it sounds like you don't break out of your group a lot. There's a lot to be said for talking to strangers.

Because I feel like girls get attracted to me, not to the ones who talk a lot and laugh. I feel like I can attract a girl even if she has a bf.

There appears to be some sort of problem. Otherwise you wouldn't be asking for advice.

May I be Sigma?

Sigma? Oof. You've been ingesting some bad TRP, man. There's a lot to unpack here . . .

Of all the alleged TRP concepts, sigma is one I wish would just die. It's a cop-out. It's what guys who don't want to play social game imagine is the cool alternative.

Let's be clear, we're all primates. The entire alpha-beta-gamma-omega structure that you read in TRP is consistently misused as it relates to primates.

Let's talk about the actual hierarchy among great apes, not the bullshit one that internet weebs invented.

Alpha: the incumbent leader ape. He gets access to greater breeding privileges.

Betas: supporters of the alpha. They are alphas in waiting, and they will kill and replace the alpha when shit gets real.

Gammas: the everyday apes. Not much to say. They're good as long as they don't piss the alphas and the betas off.

Omegas: the exist at the fringe of society. They're tolerated because they can still donate resources to the group, but they're living at the edge of disaster because they need the group more than the group needs them.

Every other ape: Is a dead ape waiting to happen. They're not part of a group, and it is a matter of time before they die in the wilderness.

There is no sigma. The only thing that even creates the illusion of such a thing is that modern civilization sustains out-of-group humans because they're workers and consumers. When civilization breaks down, people suddenly find their groups or die.

We're all just naked plains apes living in a world we weren't built for. We're supposed to be living in villages of 50 to 250 people who know each other pretty well, and that's what our brains are built for.

In such an environment, no one gets to comfortably exist on the edge of civilization. Those who are stuck scraping by at the edge are put there by some social stigma.

Just to wrap this thing up . . .

I think you're leaning on a lot of stuff as a crutch. You're focusing on things that stay entirely in your control, like lifting and a particular attitude toward socialization.

TBH, if you do what you've always done, don't be surprised when you get what you've always gotten.
