Ultimately I realised that there is no point in being as strict as I used to be, to achive the goals I want now. Sure, I want to be in the top 1% of physiques if there was a sudden ‘shirtless emergency’ at work. Sure, I want to carry around the kind of hard physique that would make any girl go ‘wow’.

Actually, what I observed is that generally chicks in the more mature age group (late twenties to maybe early thrities), no matter they look hot or not, tend to look more than just hard bodies. Sure that extra beef would help, but seems like it wouldnt have the same ‘wow’ effect on younger chicks.[/quote]
You might be right, but I feel like it might have more of an effect, because “wow” bodies are becoming fewer and far between in that age group. [/quote]
MAYBE! But it’s also because MOST women don’t give a rat’s ass about muscles.

Bullshit. Most women over 35 don’t have much to choose from. Do you honestly believe that if the average single woman of 35+ ran into someone making six figures, made them laugh, wasn’t a criminal but had big muscles that this would be a turn off of any kind?
Look at most guys over 35. You would be hard pressed outside of maybe some place like Miami or Muscle Beach in Cali to find even 5% who look anything like what we are discussing…even though that age group are the types filling male strip clubs where the guys look like bodybuilders.[/quote]
Muscles don’t hurt. But they are not necessary. I’ve been 245, and now I’m 210. I attract more women now. I don’t think it’s because I’m particularly more likable at this weight. It’s that my lifestyle has become more flexible. [/quote]
Most average looking women would be intimidated by someone who looks like synergy on this site. That doesn’t mean they don’t find someone like that attractive. It means they can’t see themselves with someone like that.
Most average women don’t workout. Most don’t even try to stay in shape aside from the diet of the week. if that is what you like, conforming to “normal” is easy. Simply stop standing out so much.
That doesn’t mean you instantly became a “10” chick magnet.
It usually just means now all of those “4’s” and “5’s” don’t feel intimidated any longer.[/quote]
It’s fine if you see it like that. I personally believe I attract more women, and yes, some more attractive than I’ve attracted before, because my lifestyle became more socially flexible. Doesn’t have to do with looks per se. What it has to do with is the sacrifices I was making that lead me to not get in contact with as many women. [/quote]
Dude, that everybody.
I went to my frat brother’s baby shower last week and his girl’s whole family was there (they hadn’t met me). i walk in the door and this whole house full of people (you could barely stand in there) just stopped talking and looked at me. I go outside later to get some air after dropping off my present and these women follow me outside. Most were in their late 20’s and early 30’s. He calls me later to tell me how many were asking about who I was and if I was married.
Look, we all have our own experiences, but these dumbass generalizations where some of you really believe women don’t like muscles is just bullshit. It may be cultural or even geographical, but women in Texas are not running from big guys.
It sucks that YOU have to tone down your goals just to get laid.[/quote]
I didn’t see this post before. It IS good that your physique helps you attract women. Seriously!
I myself was annoyed that I had to tone things down in order to accomplish some other things. You of all people know just how intoxicating and addictive it is to be big and strong and experience that rush you feel when you lift big! I didn’t like giving some of this shit up.
But when so much of my mental and emotional energy and lots of time and preparation to the point where there was little room left for FAR MORE IMPORTANT things, I decided to tone it down. I did love being 240 to 250 and some of the attention it drew. But EVERY fucking relationship I was in with that lifestyle FAILED! I had a relationship with one of the nicest women I ever met, who I actually was annoyed at during the time because she didn’t take exercise and nutrition as seriously as I did, with my oh-so-superior attitude. When she wanted to be lazy and sleep in on a Sunday afternoon and cuddle with me, what was more important to me? Showing her love and affection, or making sure her crib was stocked with the right foods or going to a Diner for breakfast or my workout that I felt I NEEEDED to take care of that day. What was more important? Spending a whole day in Manhattan with her or in her neighborhood which was 45 min from my place–when she didn’t even belong to a gym regularly, and if I slept over would have to leave her to go to a gym on a paid guest pass. Worrying about bringing over my own damn food or where my next meal was gonna instead of just going with the flow and engaging in a romantic day in the city together?
What was more important? Oh, you betcha: the gym, eating, and resting. All at the expense of missing out on a lifestyle, missing out on a nice woman.
I’m not saying this is what happened to every damn guy who lifts!!! It was MY experience, and because of this and other experiences I had to tone it down.
My best friend said to me once: “We know each other for 23 yrs. We’re like brothers, and you fucking rejected my plans so many goddamn times on weekdays after work to get together! Why do you think I stopped inviting you to fun places and events and my place?”
Of course pic of you eating two double stacks would be EPIC…just saying
