The gym is cope

Gym is best option for someone ugly because it will protect you from bullying

Bodybuilding is cope.. fitness is important

LIGMAMALEINC · 2023-08-08T14:30:08+00:00

Yeah, it's not magic, but it's probably one of the few things you can do to at least somewhat move the needle. Also has positive social repercussions; more respect from people, higher status within social groups, potential to mog other guys, etc.

Also, in terms of maximizing your looks, you gotta be very specific when it comes to this 'hit the gym bro' advice. You have to get lean, sub 15% bodyfat minimum. Being some starting strength bloatlord gymcel that can bench 4 plates is not going to do anything for your looks.

Ok_Cycle225 · 2023-08-08T14:02:35+00:00

You are meant to increase your social presence + gym for maximum benefits. Just gymcelling won't work lol

Resurrected_Alliyou · 2023-08-08T14:34:11+00:00

If your problem is that you're fat or too skinny then gym is the solution. If your problem is face or height then getting buff won't fix it. You'll be muscular and ugly. The flaw remains the same and will continue to fuck you up

Women dont care about how big your muscles are. Your height and facial-bones (especially the jaw) determine whether you are attractive or not.

The gym used to be the place you’d go to help repel your bully. Now it’s the bullies’ training grounds and he hits on the staceys while he’s there

ItoshiSae10 · 2023-08-08T14:26:22+00:00

Anyone who says gym would help you if you are ugly and short is just wrong. It only helps you and your fitness.

Onee-samas-sub1 · 2023-08-08T14:57:37+00:00

It can work if you just need a bit of help, but if you were truly hopeless from the word go, it doesn't help at all.

kukkle1111 · 2023-08-08T17:48:57+00:00

It depends on what you’re starting with. If you’re a tall, fat guy, go for it. As an added bonus, you might have a handsome face under the flab, it’s not likely, but it does happen.

If you’re short, there’s no point. A jacked manlet looks even more ridiculous than a regular manlet.

No gym for your face. No height day. Gym without steroids = MASSIVE waste of time.

jha_avi · 2023-08-09T11:10:41+00:00

Gym is not cope. As an ugly guy I can tell you that gym is not to attract girls but to keep yourself healthy. It's good for your body and mind. Forget about girls and do gym to be fit.

DurtyDanky · 2023-08-08T21:13:02+00:00

Instead of treating the gym like it's a place for pickup did you at least go there to get in shape?

Valuable-Marzipan761 · 2023-08-08T16:48:39+00:00

It's not magic. It makes you more attractive though without doubt. Maybe your atarting oiint was so low that it's still low (no offence)

not-a-dude-at-all · 2023-08-08T19:48:56+00:00

Gym can make you more confident and change kind of girls that attracted to you. But if nobody is attracted to you then it won't change shit.

Ok-Industry-8477 · 2023-10-13T01:36:14+00:00

Gym is definitely not cope, being lean with muscle mass will make you look better regardless of your genetics, plus you’ll be harder to kill and more equipped to kick someone’s ass if you need to

pop442 · 2023-08-08T17:16:18+00:00

The gym can't fix everything but having a good exercise and diet in general keeps you in shape which puts you in a much better position than being out of shape or having a beer belly/gut as you get older.

It's also great for mental stimulation as well.

You shouldn't even be thinking about other men when you go to the gym. If other men are on your mind during your routines, then the gym isn't for you.

AssistTemporary8422 · 2023-08-08T18:30:01+00:00

If the only reason you went to the gym was for female validation thats your problem. I go to the gym because it improves my discipline, physical health, mental health, and for the fun of accomplishing physical goals. All the guys who go to the gym for validation eventually quit because they are doing it for the wrong reasons.

No_Length_6997 · 2023-08-08T19:32:46+00:00

Brother. Jim important. For you, not for girl.

Sabrepill · 2023-08-08T23:03:10+00:00

Diet and Fitness are the holy grail of long term looksmaxxing. They are also the fountain of youth if you avoid drugs and avoid trt (both prematurely age people)

sheeshkoi · 2023-08-08T18:08:23+00:00

Since I started working out I feel better than ever.

OP never did a second of sports in their entire life

IncelRecovThrowaway · 2023-08-08T20:36:10+00:00

It's only cope if you go into it with the wrong expectations Will "self improvement" attract females? No never, and if that's what you're going for then yeah you're coping. However if you just want be healthier then I'd say it's a justified use of time.

cdrcools · 2023-08-09T11:28:42+00:00

I have to disagree, I used to weigh 97kg now 85, I'm not ripped or anything, but if I had a personal trainer, I could probably get leaner
