Maybe you've become more confident since going to the gym and eating clean, and people are also noticing that?
Yeah, being conscious about your own efforts/achievements and so a bit more alert for changes in public reactions could do the trick there.
In response to Rider and the OP. Gyms to me are the temple of the cult of insecurity. There is a reason why the Gym Heads go after those Kardashian types.both parties in those relationships are insecure and overcompensating for it. I was watching some more modern porn with my girlfriend and one of the things that kind of turned us both off about it was that all of the performers looked like they spent half of their time at the gym and the other half fucking. To me the gym/gym body thing and the plastic surgery thing are off putting for the same reason. The results look artificial. It is not aestitically pleasing to me. C/S, Rev J
Building muscles to score chicks is lame.I mean only reason to hit the gym is to stay fit. Maybe a women can be attracted to a well build guy but having sex is a totally different thing.
That sounds right. In reality however many people go to the gym to improve their looks for all kind of other reasons.
People who are motivated to work out all the time tend to be highly motivated in general, a lot of women dig ambitious men, it's why men with power get more than their pick of women. There's too many well known examples of men with the "alpha" character traits, not just the extremely muscular men, who have had numerous lovers. It simply is what it is
When a man builds more muscles, his testosterone increases and he becomes more bold and confident. Women like men who are bold and confident.
I use to be a gym rat very buff and yes there are women out here who approached me but some are turned off. Different strokes.
I think there's a lot that goes along with this, and there is certainly an evolutionary component related to attractiveness and power, confidence, muscles, ambition, etc. For me, muscles is one - one - thing that contributes to a guy being attractive. It's not nearly enough for me to sleep with him but its enough to take a second look
