Being in shape is obviously necessary. I don't think being jacked is, particularly if you are gaming the intellectual class of large east coast cities. Being the wittiest guy in the room with the most business or political connections is something that should be emphasized more than having big arms

Why not both? You can't be intellectual and muscular? Are you purposely limiting yourself or is self improvement too hard? Are you trolling?

Now hush child, go lift up heavy things.

The reason we go on about body building is that it works, dude.

Not to discount intellectual game, but don't you think the intelligent guy game would work MORE if you looked ripped and muscular? Principle of contrast, dude, and I'm living it, every day.

"I had never been with a guy so big" was the one thing a cheating gf pointed out when she was naked under me. But her boyfriend looked smart when I saw him.

Working out actually will help your "witty intellectual game". You should know that since you are so intelligent. Physical exercise / lifting weights is healthy for your brain, your attention span, and your memory. It will also make you feel better, and when you feel better, you do better. Your immunity will be stronger, you will be healthier, and you will get more confidence. Its not like you have to choose. Lifting weights requires a very minimal time investment with a HUGE return. Why not have the ability to run your witty smart game but also be jacked, then you can pick up chicks that love your body AS WELL as your intellectuals your already gaming. ALL CHICKS will dig a guy thats jacked, healthy, and strong over one that isnt. It gives you a large advantage. Ive fucked a chick with a boyfriend in a top university purely because of this. Its almost like an animalistic instinct. You may be the wittiest intellectual in the room, but if a guy walks in that can smash your face in and completely dominate you physically, a chick wont feel as much raw sexual attraction towards you. Plain hard truth. Have both.

In my experience, building bigger muscles and a cut physique helps you get noticed. Do you have a nice pair of biceps and an outline of a good set of pecs under your shirt? Women are going to notice that. It's not a replacement for wit or game, but it gives you an advantage.

Have you seen long distance runners? Sure they're lean, but they don't have much muscle on them and so they don't really stand out in a crowd. You could be in the best cardio fitness of your life, but if you don't complement it with weight training, you're going to look like a stick.

No one is saying to get huge. But a nice chest and arms go a long way.

The largest improvement that you can make in the shortest time period is going to the gym. That is why people talk about it so much. Stuff like intellect, career, and wealth matters, but that game is actually played in your youth. Realistically, a 30-year old who was a drop out, has a low paying job, and has $20k in credit card debt is not going to be able to dig himself out of the hole. Even if he tries extremely hard, he'll be 50 before he has his finances in order and his mind trained.

Ideally, you want to get into the middle-upper or upper class. You want to join the intellectual elites. Within that group, people tend to be far more attractive, obesity rates are low, divorce rates are low, the wield significant business/political influence, their offspring tend to have a lot of success, and whole lot more. But if you grab your average 20 year old, he has already done a lot of damage to his ability to reach this level already because he hasn't maximized his intellectual capacity and he is enrolled into an unmarketable major at a shitty college. It is highly improbable that he will catch up to a 20 year old in an Ivy League school who is playing his cards right.

The cold hard truth is that if you have not been working on your wealth and intelligence already, and you are in your mid to late 20s already, it is probably far too late to make gains big enough to matter in terms of game. You really need maybe 10 years or more to get significant separation from the mean. Of course, that doesn't mean you should ignore wealth and intelligence if you don't have it already, it still matters for your long term career, retirement, and it is probably the strongest predictor of how well your offspring will do. But the reality is, you are highly unlikely to get enough of it to help your game. Working out, on the other hand, is something you can do to improve your game no matter what situation you are in.
