Why is getting ripped for women so frowned upon here?

See title. My friend told this to his therapist some time ago (he’s been in an LTR now), and the therapist said that was awesome and encouraged him. Meanwhile here if you suggest that you get chit on and told to work on your personality

Newsflash: getting truly 12% (i.e. non e-statted like vast majority of e-12%ers) lean can make a big difference in your face, not to mention you have abs, all you can show on instagram/hinge pics

tbh, i never agreed with that.

sex is like the ultimate motivator, use it.

women can do whatever they want but ripped women are not my type when it comes to dating

most of the ripped ones I know persoanlly are lesbos

EDIT: totally misread that title. Just do what works for you. Women like muscles but that shouldn't be your main goal in getting ripped

Whatever the misc advice is on getting women, do the opposite.

So get ripped and profit.

Because it doesn't matter how ripped you are when it comes to women. Sure it'll look great but if you have the attitude of a pussy bitch it'll contrast with your pussy attitude and repel women even further

I think it's fine to use that as motivation to workout. One just can't expect instant results with women/dating only because of working out though. It does however usually have a positive affect on many other aspects of how we view ourselves which, in turn, make us more attractive to those we are trying to attract.

Personally, i think ripped women are sexy but I appreciate the hard work put into a ripped physique. But I understand that some men equate a chiseled physique with a masculine one as well

Because it's not possible without "supplements". Getting super lean and wiry is natural but kinda groce too. Women naturally carry extra fat on their bodies, being lean enough to have striations and an 8 pack is little unsettling.

Don’t listen to the misc for a second on this matter.

Get lean (10-12%) and you WILL get a lot more attention.

Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

never chase women. focus on improving yourself (physically, mentally, financially); getting women because you are ripped should be a bi-product of your hard work. not the other way around

Femininity is soft and nurturing, if you're attracted to an overly lean body with muscle definition you're a confirmed *******

As a natty at 12% you’ll never be too big. If you can show yourself shirtless or with a tank, you’ll probably be just right

When I take my shirt off some women legit scream (srs) so yes it does attract women. But you need the attitude to go with it and the attitude comes partly from not placing importance about that attention from women.

None of this matters tbh it's all about personality and confidence

The misc reminds me of 4chan or Reddit talking about how looks matter all the time

Do you really think any real men out there (or women) care about body fat %? lmao

Ok let’s frame it another way. Getting ripped will create a special aura and help you get more attention on social media for whatever brand you’re putting forth. That could possibly be accompanied by more female attention

Covid quarantine is here to stay. Kinda harder to showcase personality for a good while. Hopefully not forever but who knows how long

As for bf, it’s not that simple. Women may not care about it overtly but obviously do subconsciously (lean face vs pudgy face)

Not a single pic was seen, but of course I believe you! You said unlike the vast majority of e-statters, you make a compelling case

Once upon a time I got laid in college thru my high status position

But then I moved to a bigger city on the west coast for a high paying job

And now covid has happened


So I’m trying to rise to the occasion. Game IRL will work when things open up, but right now things are not open, and IRL is not an option. I have a thriving social circle that values my company, but 80/20 exists, and that 20 threshold is quite high due to social media and being in a city with a bunch of high SMV guys

Does someone have some sort of idea about percentiles/mogging power of physiques (i.e. what’s top 20%, 10%). Before you neg me, yes I realize personality and not being autistic matters, but just having this knowledge about this one thing would be helpful
