I'm not saying its not worth it, but you have to do it for you and only for you.

Going from a 17 year old skinny kid, to close to my ideal physique (6'1, 205 and like 10% bodyfat) it was cool, but the end result isn't as valuable or satisfying as I had thought it would be.

I still love the sport, process and challenge so will probably never stop, but I came to realise that's all there is to it really. The perceived external benefits such as respect, status, women, self esteem are negligible and mostly double edged swords.

Agreed, physiquemaxx if done for women is a huge waste of time. Moneymaxing is a different story

Obv bloat is the way to go mate. Pizza for lunch. Make it a meat pizza for the brotein. Chop a tree down with your boner instead of lifting. Drill your girl instead of cardio. On to dinner and a fatty cut of beef. Happy days.

You're probably too modest brah. I've never been as jacked as you but before I bloatmaxxed I'd go out to pool parties or clubbing and have girls rubbing my arms or mirin here and there without really trying. I'd just be shirtless or wear tanks.

Money will always help you, in every part of your life.

No doubt a shredded physique helps out with women in certain situations, but its very much a double edged sword. If you want a solid GF 7-8/10 type, you may be less likely to connect with them due to their perceptions of you being shallow, vein, uninteresting, self absorbed, or out of their league (srs)

I dont know if there was too much of a difference for me being "big" and ripped to being 170 lbs 11% tennis player body (srs). For every girl that's into 18 inch arms there's 2 or 3 that prefer 15 to 16 inch ones. Obviously supply and demand works in your favour, but a lot of the girls into size are crazy and have daddy issues

Honestly face and height are more important

I guess. I'm average height and decent face. Depending on how shredded you are it's a way to separate you from most guys.

But oh yeah, if ALL you have is your shred and you're an awkward ugly kunt, good luck. I know chubby dudes who can slay because they're the life of the party types and are just beasts at being social.

I’ve always gotten pussy because of my face and personality.

The exercising aspect is just for health, something to do, and i actually feel something when I’m done. I don’t feel much emotion ever or in general but what I feel after exercising is a nice rush.

Physique is definitely overrated for women but honestly if you lift solely to get women you will get burned out quick. When I was 17 I started for that reason and to stop being a twink but I soon learned to love lifting. Think of physique as a tool in your arsenal. Let's be honest most people dont realize that "jacked" to the public is a lot less muscle than you think.

I only lift to be stronger and bigger than everyone else. For women, they couldn’t give two fukks ass about your physique. if you aren’t fat or anorexic, height and face are the main deciders for whether or not you get girls.

Of course, my point is more enjoy the journey and the challenge. If you are expecting getting ripped will make a huge improvement to your life you will be left feeling a sense of emptiness when you get there

100% agree, lifting is something that should be done for you not for some broad. Same with cars unless of course you are buying lambos (and evne then you mostly get dudes trying to race you and asking about the car). Learned when I was young these sloots DGAF that you financed some low end audi lmfaoo just do for you brah!

It's like a well-off dude saying money doesn't mean anything.
Depends on the environment

I work in the corporate world around a lot of very wealthy men, nobody is in shape beyond a slightly toned lift once a week type body.

Being large and ripped stands out like a sore thumb, and potentially people might subconsciously be thinking negatively about it because of certain assumptions.

The best physique for respect in the business world is ottormode/tennis player

It does help it’s just that you’ve had your physique for awhile so maybe you got used to it? You and I have similar stats and at least career wise with me I definitely get treated way better than everyone else. It helps with women obviously, but I feel respected amongst my peers if that makes sense. Not sure if it’s the same for you.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.

Depends on the context here. In a club, bar yes, people don't start chit with you and there is a respect

In the business world I think its the opposite. Its almost like being a female with massive fake tits. While people will positively comment, they may take you less seriously or judge you for looking like that


I think this correlates to how women react too. If other men are looking up to you, giving you respect they are attracted to the status of that, as much if not more than the physical appearance
