Is lifting really that effective?

Both really, but in my opinion, EVERYONE should lift. There are zero downsides to strengthening the body in a consistent and progressive way. Even if you don't go the power-lifting route, lifting weights is just plain necessary.

Even people who do kinesthetics are lifting - their own body weight. Ever seen those bar park dudes on venice beach? Ripped.

Lifting is not the end-all-be-all of raising SMV and getting women, but it's a solid foundation that can, at the very least, boost your confidence and libido.

Lifting gives you a body that is attractive to the vast majority of women out there. Would you rather be attractive or unattractive? Would you rather date/fuck an attractive woman or an unattractive one?

Strive to be a better man than you were yesterday. Then tomorrow strive to be better. "The only easy day was yesterday"

Lifting is not just about getting jacked. Lifting is a discipline. Getting up early, going to the gym when you really would rather lie in bed next to a naked sweaty girl takes discipline. Putting the donut down takes discipline. If you're jacked, you can't help but show that you have complete control over at least one aspect of your life. This control and discipline bleeds into your personality. You actually become a more confident, self-assured person. That's the kind of guy women want.

Lifting increases testosterone which will directly improve your game.

Plus going to the gym is my pilgrimage. It's not home, it's not work. Nobody has any control on my time but me. If I feel like sticking in my earbuds and doing my entire workout uninterrupted, or if I feel like chatting to other gym people ( who are mostly like-minded souls), I can.

Finally, if you're stressing about something, I guarantee you won't even be thinking about it during a non-fuckarounditis workout. Angry? Use it as fuel. Burn it.

Dost thou hoist?

Is lifting really that effective when raising your SMV or is it just a meme?

It's not only for your SMV. It's for your mental state as well. It means you won't get intimidated easily, it gives you knowledge that in case shit goes down, you won't go down easily.

We have group chat with some of my classmates, and wanted to make fun of one of guys in the group, who is chiseled as fuck, literally better than any underwear model shit going on.

Regardless, wanted to google a pic of ugly buff dude, ugly body builder etc... and well I FUCKING COULD NOT FIND ONE... lol When you are cut, your ugly mug goes on the back burner cause even as a straight ass dude I am too busy looking at his ripped god dam 6 pack. (watch the last 15 minutes of Louis CK 2017 on netflix on this topic lol).

Look at ripped dudes. How did they get that way? Everyone treats muscular men better.

You are right.

Lifting does nothing if you don't have a proper diet. The mantra should be lift and eat well.
