it’s not about having your muscularity recognized. people don’t envy dudes who aren’t lean. period. an aspiring bodybuilder may admire or envy you/akuma because they know your physique + clen + t3 + disciplined diet = awesome; however, others think of you not as what you COULD be but what you look like at that moment.
a double-digit bodyfat physique is not aesthetically pleasing. [/quote]
Being lean, lean face (defined facial features), abs, seperation between muscles, generally does attract more female attention than carrying a higher bodyfat.[/quote]
LOL…so does money and social influence.
It is true though…if your goal is to cause average people to “envy” you based on how you look, you should definitely avoid serious bodybuilding. This is likely to intimidate or cause concern in the opposite sex thus making you le
ss desirable to the “average female”.
Mind you, the “average female” is overweight, not extraordinary and likely to not be interested in a lifestyle that involves regular daily intense activity.
If your goals are to impress the average person with no intimidation…hell, drop down to about 150, get those abs out and just let the ladies roll in like waves.[/quote]
Well first and foremost I mentioned being lean, I did not mention being scrawny/small/frail, I will also say the lean Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman are also not appealing to most females I have discussed bodybuilding with.
Secondly it’s a pretty easy observation between personal experience and knowing who my friends at college are fucking. It’s not hard to observe who is going home with who and when you have a lot of friends and see the same faces day in and day out at the dorms. Ugly is ugly, but lean, muscular, the majority of the time takes the cake with who’s getting fucked the most.
I recieve drastically more interest from women when I am leaner and itis a self confidence boost ten fold.
And I am not talking about average women…I’m talking about attractive females but our opinions on what is atractive and what is not may or may not be the same.
And just to throwit out there, I know plenty of guys who don’t lift that pull quality women easily, I also know plenty of guys who lift and don’t get laid.

Wait so now i am curious do you only lift to get pussy?[/quote]
If I said yes, would that mean I am doing something wrong?
Yes it’s part of the equation. I am also very competative, I like to excel at things, I like the attention, I like being strong, I like making improvements in body comp and strength, I like being ahead of a lot my peers and absolutely to help attract women. It’s an ego boost, brings self confiedence, helps me excel in other areas of life, teaches dedication, perseverance, commitment, that good things come to those who work. It’s also a great stress release and just something to enjoy when I am bored, going to the gym is a great highlight in my day when I have no other plans. It’s fun, exciting, hitting new PRs, getting bigger, getting leaner are all things that excite me and elevate my dopamine levels. If I don’t want my bodyfat levels to get as high as some other people’s when bulking, that’s my choice, I do what makes me feel good both physically and mentally. My ideal physique is that of a guy such as Greg Plitt or several mens physique competitors on the larger side.
