Does lifting really help your chances with women?

I bet there are millionaires out there somewhere who are illiterate. Do you need to be able to read to make money? Technically no, but it certainly helps.

How many PhD holders are millionaires? Very, very few. Why? Because intelligence and literacy are not the only requirements to make money.

Same goes for looks. The better your looks, the better your chances in general. But there are diminishing returns. Adding a few millimetres to your 6-pack is a lot of work with very little return in terms of increasing your pool of sexual partners.

Physically attraction is very important to women. But it is not the only factor.

Also, different women have different types. Women do reject men because they look like a certain type they don't want. A man that some women will instantly reject, others will drool over.

So what is the practical outcome of all this? Make yourself as attractive as you are willing to in all aspects of your life. Then pick from the pool of women who are attracted to you. It really is that easy.

If you want to maximize your chances with 10s, you got to maximize your cards,Meanings look, physique etc. He may not have abs but that doesn’t mean anything, women could be attracted to him for a complete different reason. What works for him may not work for you. Of course you can get women without Being in shape but your chances are lower with high quality women

saw you had a bit of mgtow in your post history. let me tell you quit that. lifting helps, do it. you don’t need to deadlift if you have a bad back, i personally don’t deadlift, do everything else.

lifting gives you confidence. remember that appearance isn’t all you’ve got for smv, it’s a big trait for women but for males there’s status, masculinity, appearance, confidence. if one of those is low like the guy you mentioned, something else must be boosting his smv.

keep at it dude, things are boring in quarantine but promise yourself to hit the gym after it ends, consistency is key.

Lifting increases testosterone, it increases your confidence, aggression, dominance, mental well being. Don't do it for girls, do it for yourself. Return of Investment on lifting weights is huge and definitely worth the effort

Yes, it helps you loads. Get shredded and go see it for yourself.

Back when I was 17-18 years old I was ripped as hell. I was around 180 lbs, 10% body fat. When I went out, girls were literally throwing themselves at me. It's literally life on easy mode women-wise.

Now I'm 23 years old, around 165 lbs and 15% body fat. I can still pull girls, but it's harder compared to when I was shredded.

Trust me, it helps a lot.

Why he gets girls without having abs is a question you should try to answer yourself. There are things that women like about this guy, but you haven't mentioned these things. Dude, abs are not the only criterium for girls to date men.

A good body as a result of lifting will make your chances greater. But hey, if you were a woman, would you date a gym dude with abs who has a shit personality, or a man with a nice personality and a normal body?

Lifting is more for your mental frame and energy level. It's for your improvement. A side effect is you look more masculine and confident. This is attractive to women.

You should lift for yourself and learn game to get women.

The gym is my therapy, my sanctuary, my church. It's the only place that everyone is making positive steps forward instead of wallowing in self pity.

It helps everything. Even at work. Hard to really explain all the benefits, but it just gives you that edge overall.

Looks matter OP but the looks women care about consists of your face, height and race.

Lifting is more for your mental state. It also helps you with confidence when interacting with other men and women as well and gives you a sense of fulfilment.

As for attention it’ll mostly come from men and women will compliment you but it’ll barely influence whether or not she wants to sleep with you. If she likes you she will compliment your abs or arms but that’s because she already liked you. If she’s not into you like that she’ll either be indifferent, will compliment but won’t sleep with you or she make fun of you for being a try hard Manley (worst case).

He ain't getting the top shelf hotties though.

Game is the most important factor in attraction but I just refuse to believe the girls get as wet looking at a skinny guy vs a ripped guy. All my girls are soaking when they see my body and start "simping" for me, you will never get that feeling if you dont lift.

Abs are tricky - as much about diet as the actual muscle building, but unless you’re approaching girls topless they are not going to help with initial attraction.

What does help is big arms and broad shoulders - more easily attainable than abs and assuming you maximise your style to compliment your physique, more useful for attraction.

It helps phisically and mentally. Women will definetly notice that.

This is the fact of the matter, if that guys gets girls like he says, then he would get many more if he also had a six pack and a good physique

It does, but there are so many other factors in play. It will definitely improve your prospects, but to what degree varies depending on many other factors.

Some guys are just really ugly/have weird bodies and personalities that even if they are jacked, they won't do that well with women. Other guys are skinny asf, never work out, but are blessed with pretty boy faces and hair and will get all the girls. So it just depends.

But working out is for you. As a human you are supposed to take the best care of your body and health as possible for as long as possible. That means getting regular exercise.

I'm sorry...this is harsh...but people who let themselves get out of shape and don't take proper care of themselves to the best of their ability...there is something wrong with them. They are failures, in a way, until they decide to change. They are disgusting. I hear the excuses all the time: "I don't have time." "I can't lose weight, my body just won't do it." "It's just genetics that I'm fat." Etc.

I have a relative who, at age 45, decided to finally take better care of his own health. He started to have trouble seeing his dick when he looked down because of his growing belly and fat, and he told me he felt disgusted. That was the catalyst and now he eats right and got into shape.

How can you expect to achieve the best you can in life if you don't even take proper care of yourself?
