Why LIFT when it's all about the INTELLECT?!?

I'm not in great shape, have become a bit skinnyfat, and people often tell me I come across as extremely intimidating. Sure, part of it is my perfect Henry Cavill eyebrows/eyes and chiseled jaw, but the main feature that intimidates the commoners is my brutally superior IQ, intellect, wit, and mastery of psychology, personality mirroring, and geopolitical affairs. Why lift when it's all about the brain?

Because lifting is about self, strength goals, reshaping the body, fitness, and brief spikes in brain chemistry or mood.
It was never about others.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

But why? The vast majority of people don'tneedto be very strong. Admit it, you're doing it for other people. You want to be noticed and admired, and because you've failed at other aspects of your life which could lead you to be noticed or admired, you're using your body. Like a whore does.

The least of the muscular Christians has hold of the old chivalrous and Christian belief, that a man’s body is given him to be trained and brought into subjection, and then used for the protection of the weak, the advancement of all righteous causes, and the subduing of the earth which God has given to the children of men.” –Thomas Hughes, Tom Brown at Oxford (1861)


“since every part of our nature is the sacred gift of God, he who neglects his body, who calumniates his body, who misuses it, who allows it to grow up puny, frail, sickly, misshapen, homely, commits a sin against the Giver of the body. Ordinarily, therefore, disease is a sin. Round shoulders and narrow chests are states of criminality. The dyspepsia is heresy. The headache is infidelity. It is as truly a man’s moral duty to have a good digestion, and sweet breath, and strong arms, and stalwart legs, and an erect bearing, as it is to read his Bible, or say his prayers, or love his neighbor as himself.”


“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”

100% INCORRECT
My dad got me into it at age 13-14 and i enjoyed it, so i continue it.
It is as simple as that.
I also cross train with other sports because i enjoy them.
charity races, basketball, tennis, soccer, mtn biking, hiking, skiing wasn't for me.

being jacked and intelligent makes you extremely more appealing than someone who is intelligent and not jacked.

ive never once been intimidated or afraid of a man because of his intellect. I dont think women say "I feel so safe when i'm with him because he is so smart."

That's funny OP because I'm in great shape, very Herculean, and people often tell me I come across as extremely intimidating. Sure, part of it is my perfect Henry Cavill eyebrows/eyes and chiseled jaw, but the main feature that intimidates the commoners is my brutally superior IQ, intellect, wit, and mastery of psychology, personality mirroring, and geopolitical affairs.
