I’ll throw my .02 in. I agree that working out doesn’t have much to do with pulling women. I was a skinny mofo in my teens and always did well with women, dating the homecoming and prom queens, etc. I attribute this entirely to being decent looking and a smooth talker, moreso the smooth talking and confidence. When I started working out at 18, I went from my lifelong highest weight of 148 up to 160, at maybe 10 percent BF. I was not big by any means, but I def had abs. I went on Spring Break and got in a fight that resulted in a broken nose and two black eyes. My buddy was fucking with some girl in our hotel that was a floor below us and she told me that her friend really wanted me to come fuck her. I was like haha thats real funny, assuming she was playing a joke on me bc my face was mangled. She said, “She doesn’t care, she thinks your body is amazing!” And I did go and seal the deal, with no smooth talking involved. Being lean and muscular will help you get a girl’s attention in a place where you can’t really run game, like a loud club or a crowded spring break strip, it will give you that initial edge, but 9 times out of 10 it’s still going to be the confident, smooth talking player that gets the girl, and he prob doesn’t work out. Now I weigh about 230 in the winter at around 16 percent BF, and I can tell you, the only people who ever comment on my size and muscles and shit are other dudes. Girls couldn’t give a shit less, if anything I pull a girl by using my mouthpiece and she tells me how she normally doesn’t like big muscle guys, but I’m different. I’m cutting now, I’m curious to see how women’s reactions change when I have visible abs again.
TL;DR when you’re big, the only people who really ask you how strong you are or comment on your size are other dudes. When you have abs, even if you weigh 160, you can smell bitches’ panties gettin wet.
