Lifting alone is not enough.

I picture the entire Red Pill edifice as supported by the four pillars of:

Game - Looks - Assets - Status

If one is weak but the three others are OK, it'll stand.

If two are weak but the two others are seriously strong, it'll stand.

If three are weak, you're fucked whatever the strength of the only one standing.

Work on them four.

I actually read the title and thought it implied you needed a lifting partner and thought "ffs OP some people can go at it alone"

But yes, I agree with what you actually meant. All lifting will do is make the game easier. You still have to participate.

In our society women expect us to approach them.

And regarding lifting, my biggest problem has been dieting properly. That by itself is more important than lifting. Because you look as good as the way that you eat. Once as I was able to get my shit together I had much more attention when I went out approaching.

Women fucking love abs, arm veins, and v lines!

Great point OP, I made a similiar one in another thread and was attacked for it saying I was making excuses not to lift, being a pussy etc. People don't understand that women think Justin Bieber is jacked as fuck. And he is just skinny. Buuuut.... he has amazing genetics. And thats another aspect which will limit your progress, some of us cant be attractive with just a ripped physique because of proportions. A big torso will allways make your limbs look small. I see this in girls too, a lot of girls go anorexic because they try to get a supermodel body, without the supermodel genetics. Unless you have great genetics, you cant be 10% bf and carry good ammounts of mass naturally. So play to your strengths. If you are the stubby kind, go for a more manly look like in the 70's broad and thick, dont kill yourself trying to look like a metrosexual god.

Also in general, more men than women comment on my shirtless body since i really grew into a more muscular physique. I have allways been athletic, and the only time a girl has EVER said anything positive about my body has been about touching my abs when I have been low bf%. But I enjoy working out, currently doing mostly fencing, calisthenics and kettlebells, so naturally over the years you build mass. Lift for you, not for her. Lifting for her is pedestalizing.

Edit: also, if you are pale, you will make 2 years of visual gains in shreddedness if you tan. I'm pale and dont tan for health reasons such as i dont wanna get cancer and dry my skin out, but I have tried it out for fun and it is fucking amazing. There is a reason why bodybuilders tan for competition, it makes you look waaay more jacked. Also, posture is arguably more important than 20lbs of extra muscle. Anybody can look good or "ill fuck him after a few drinks" good with great posture.

Another shit post.

Nobody here is saying lifting is enough. Lifting is one aspect of personal improvement that men can and should pursue. no one has said this is black and white ever.

Lifting, earning more income, pursuing your passions, establishing strong boundaries, learning how to say no, etc etc etc etc are all part of TRP and the growth required to become a man.

Lifting doesn't magically turn you from an ugly guy into an adonis; what's new?

If you are a truly good looking guy you won't even need to lift to get women all over you.
