Unless you're fat or skinny Gymmaxxing Is not Needed but i think that this Is the perfect goal physique for an average guy Who wants to gymmax It appeals to most women anything more muscular/bulky than this can put you in a niche imo

For shorter guys, it’s better to stay lean and not gain any mass. You’ll look compensating for doing so. And most short guys who were considered attractive were lean.

Yes, it makes a lot of difference.

If you are very thin, consider gaining fat as well.

Gaining muscle is always good, even if it would be useless for attraction. Turns out it's not, especially for a normal guy.

Above 6': makes a huge difference.

Under 6': makes little to no difference.

Yes and no. Reaching a decent, but no excessive, level of muscularity will make your body more attractive.

Depending on other factors, it may also appear to significantly change your face. I say appear, because there's very little it can actually do (losing weight if you are over- to begin with, on the other hand, can do more). But all of the reddit-focus on individual facial attributes as deterministic of attractiveness tends to overlook the inaccuracy of the human eye and the importance of overall composition. A lot of men seem to have more handsome faces when they are more muscular because the face they had already fits more nicely when viewed at a glance with respect to a better overall look.

However, without knowing you personally, I don't know what's holding you back with women now. Appearance may be the most important single factor to generating positive initial interest from women, but unless you're VERY good-looking, it isn't necessarily enough to build enough attraction to actually get anywhere.

I say this as a man who has had the same (attractive, but not model-tier) face his entire adult life, but whose actual success with women was very different at 35 than at 30, at 30 than at 25, and at 25 than at 20. And to be honest, gaining and losing muscle over that time period had no positive correlation to my success rate.

Gaining muscle is part of gaining strength but really what you gain is bone density, better vascular health, better resistance to stress, stronger presence and stability in life and in social situations.

So being lean and muscular is optimal. Fat and muscular sort of makes the whole thing meh.

You should work out anyway

RedditLiesMore · 2023-10-12T17:24:20+00:00

You should workout fir health and longevity reasons.

Personally, I love working out and do it every day. Being fit has allowed me to date more women, but not that much more. I think it's good lmto look at it as a multiplier. Base stats matter much much more.

Genetic_Prisoner · 2023-10-12T15:09:12+00:00

Honestly it does i remember how i used to be treated before when i was skinny its night and day difference. Now obviously you cant be short or ugly you need to be at least average before hand.

operation-spot · 2023-10-12T17:05:51+00:00

I don’t think it would hurt your chances but I wouldn’t suggest doing anything extreme like taking steroids.

lmaoitsleo · 2023-10-12T14:26:25+00:00

yes it does if we‘re talking about peak natural physique.

Walnuts_TheBigNut · 2023-10-12T15:58:51+00:00

Yes it does and you'll feel better for it as well. My girl loves it when I throw her around with one arm. Get strong! Tell these weak minded cunts to fuck off.

Yes it will help. People that lack the dicipline wil try to stop other people bettering themselves though.

Georgeoverthere · 2023-10-12T18:13:31+00:00

curious_lychee9 · 2023-10-12T14:25:43+00:00
