Did you notice a difference on dating/dating apps when you started lifting?

Thinking of lifting, but I'm literally only doing it for girls

If you go from completely untrained to lifting and dieting seriously then you will add 1.5 - 3 points to your looks relatively quickly


All you need to pass the “he has a athletic body” test to women is a solid diet and noob gains which is a years of work


To really turn heads and look like Adonis takes years, likely drinking some OJ, but that first bar mentioned above really is all you need to do well with majority of attractive women.


To some degree all men lift for vanity. When you get into it you realize women mean nothing to your own pursuits and goals, but lifting for chicks isn’t a bad first step as long as you don’t give up as soon as you lock down a girl (seen guys do this). The discipline and confidence it gives you carries over to other facets of life.


Regardless of what anyone says, the ability to know you can kill the man next to you with your bare hands is a good feeling to have

Girls like the athletic body. They're not into big wide meathead looking dudes. The key is to be in shape with maybe a couple muscular groups that are above average size. But in reality girls like a guy who is social and does cool things.

Going from a fat guy with no muscle to a big guy with muscle improved the quality of girls I was able to get significantly. Fek, I've been on a cut lately and in the last 2-3 weeks I've probably gone from a 6 to a 6.5-7. As I continue getting back into shape, the further quality of girls I get will be impacted a lot more by my bodyfat than my amount of increased muscle.

Peak natty with decent genetics and/or half natty is the most attractive part of the physique spectrum

i.e. a bit more than an actual athletic body. In the looksmaximus tinder experiment there were a good number of athletic looking natties swiping right on the 400 lb woman. To be fair, many were older and wrinkling, which proves what silencespeaks said about physique not entirely making up for bad/aging features

You say this but to be frank, where I live a huge portion of guys have 1-2 years worth of gym gains and an athletic body. What really makes you stand out is if you have a good skeletal frame and if you’re ripped and not needing to age yourself with a ton of tech (ideally none at all)

Dude no one uses tinder anymore except trailer park trash. Hinge is where anyone worth a damn is , and you don’t need to be shredded to kick ass there



Athletic build is good enough for women. If you can bench 225 and run a 5k in 22 minutes or less then you probably are around the sweet spot of being bigger than the average guy and also cut/athletic enough to be lean. After that just making sure certain muscle groups look good is all it takes. Nice shoulders, chest, and lats will give you the desired v shape

I can only speak from my experience which is getting approached at bars or work regularly and matching almost everyone on apps. The ballgame might be different in LA or Miami but can’t see it being different in other spots. I’ve had success in cities of all types


That said I know how to build a profile and flirt in person exceptionally well. Being 6’3 also goes a long way. If you’re on tech or hell any supplement you’ll be doing it more for your ego or to impress other men than women

nah i’ve had women compliment my body but that’s after she sees me naked. On average, a woman cares more about you face and height than body. Lots of twinks have success bc
they’re lean

If you lift for women, you’re doing it wrong.

To the height and face bro’s I didn’t almost any attention until I started lifting. Being able to fill out a shirt and removing a layer of fat goes a very long way

This.Of course it’s not everything, but a built physique helps a lot.

Yes immediately I even thought about lifting, didn't even lift, just posted on the misc, that very day matched with 55 HBB's and got a new job $10k/day.

Don't worry about actually doing it brah, just thinking about doing it is enough.
