The Natural Physique

Law of Power #30: Make your accomplishments seem effortless.

“Yeah, but he looks like he works out on purpose. I want a guy who’s just burly like he’s been chopping wood.”

Remember, women don't want to know that you put actual work into your accomplishments. They prefer the image that you are just naturally that way. They don't want to know about past you, the beta or fat guy, they only care about the you that gives them the 'giner tingles today.

Okay guys, let me explain what's going on here. I think some of you guys have the wrong idea.

First, remember this: Female attraction doesn't work the way male attraction works. Female attraction isn't nearly as visual as male attraction. She wants a strong guy...someone who can throw her around, and overwhelm her physically. Again, it's not about what your body looks like, but what it feels like.

Second, this controversy is really about status. You think it's about looks, but it's not. The looks women really care about are your face and your ass, everything else is really about fashion/status.

Here's the thing about status: It's always changing what is high-status, what is low-status. In the dark ages when the peasants were starving, and gluttony was a sign of wealth and class, guess what kind of body form women were throwing themselves after?

At one time tans and a muscular build were turn-offs, because that meant you were a laborer. You spent all day in the sun, lifting heavy loads, and this look signaled low class.

Then a few generations later tans and a muscular physique signaled high class, because it required wealth and being in-the-know, to learn how to work out, join health spas, and hire trainers. Arnold Schwarzenneger associated body building with celebrity.

But this didn't last long, because body building turned out to be a low-cost signal and soon lower-middle and low class people were emulating the celebrities, and developing substantial physiques. It's not the physique itself, but bodybuilding that can signal low-class, or at least it doesn't signal high-class like it used to. (Note that I still recommend working out and developing muscle, just don't be delusional on what the effect on women is going to be.)

Today, for a majority of women in this information age, it is actually thinner physiques, thick glasses, and a general nerdiness that is beginning to signal high-class. Fashionable now are skinny jeans, basically jeans that I can't fit my legs into, are considered the epitome of fashion and style, the thick glasses are in vogue again.

Women just aren't visual in the way men are, and it's a common blue pill fallacy to think in terms of "What sort of physique are women attracted to?" The answer is always, "What sort of men are women associating with high class and high status, and what do they look like?" The down side is that game isn't eternal: Stuff that used to work, no longer works. Stuff that never did work, is starting to work.

Adapt or perish.

Addendum: Status is tricky to pick down, because it's really a measure of overall social dominance. But what signals high status often changes depending on your locale. Also note, for game, you're interested in what signals high status for the targets that you're after, not what your opinion is. In some parts of the country, the skinny/nerdy look is in. In other parts of the country, they care more about tatooed bad boys on motorcycles. In the south women love a man in uniform, in the north east she wants a faggy metrosexual. Read the field.

Example: Donny Shankle. About as strong as a human naturally can be:

Loved this post, had a good chuckle at the TL;DR at the end.

Some very good points though, women's standards for men are absolutely outrageous these days. While most of them do nothing to work on themselves except buy shoes and drink Starbucks; then expect us to worship their retarded selves.

You have to work on yourself if you want someone who also does the same, don't sit there like a little child screaming for ice cream. Silly entitled woman.

It's easy to pigeonhole this as stupidity, but let me play devil's advocate for a minute. Perhaps she was trying to distinguish between someone with average/below average genes who's used bodybuilding to build themselves up*, compared to a guy with great genes who maybe doesn't train as hard, but looks better.

Exhibit A.

It's never fucking good enough for these whores is it.

There's some truth in there. Many women love the 'natural' ex-athlete look. Decently muscular and proportional, but not super-lean.

2013-05-21T11:18:52+00:00

Nobody looks what is now called “good” through normal activities. You have to work at it, for the sole purpose of vanity

Totally fucking disagree. In healthier ages, men focused on feats of strength, athleticism etc. and looks naturally followed. Working out with the mirror in mind is unmasculine.

"what is now called good" ? Who cares? This is a very superficial age, do not adopt its standards.

Be a lifter who wants to deadlift X kg, don't be a guy who wants nice traps.
