Let me preface by saying that I'm fully aware that they are women out there that are outliers and in fact do not favor a fit/athletic/muscular physique, whatever you wanna call it.

Normally, when confronted with the question regarding their preferences, the answers usually fall into sentences along the lines of "I'm not attracted to muscles on a guy" , "I don't care about it.. too much looks bad" etc. Keep in mind that I do emphasize that i'm not talking about steroid freaks, and show them pics of what I'm referring to.

Yet, when a tall fit/muscular guy shows up at a club, "drunk" women practically want to molest the guy. When women see a guy like that on the streets, they secretly eye fuck him.

I know, I know. "Watch what they do, not what they say". The burning question is, WHY lie when it's so obvious?

dad bod guys are easier to manipulate and extract resources from so for "long term" relationships they are better...
when she says: "I want dad bod" what she is saying is "I want someone I can control"...
when she says: "That's too much muscle" what she is saying is "I don't think I'm hot enough to manipulate him"...

but when they get drunk and they see "ripped prime alpha genes"... pussy gets wet...

[–]YthisGuy118 points119 points  (14 children) | Copy Link

Can confirm LTR before we started dating liked 'Normal guys' I.E guys who never seen a gym, but are not overweight.

Said to me that " I like dad bods, they're much softer and loveable".

Started dating.

Since then, past few months ive been going hard working out at home, now she is obsessed with the firmness of my arms, traps, ect.

Now shes saying " Honestly, i feel like you somehow became even hotter since I started dating you"

[–]Aggressive_Beta123 points124 points  (11 children) | Copy Link

“Somehow”

Yeah it was magic. It just happened. Absolutely nothing to do with hard work.

Women are so solipsistic. They think men can just become attractive with zero effort like they can.

[–]Standgrounding26 points27 points  (7 children) | Copy Link

I'm fairly sure girls have to put quite a bit of effort on their own(makeup, gym, clothing) to get hot.

Otherwise they'd be fat fives or 4's forever...

[–]Aggressive_Beta35 points36 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

You’re wrong, most thin 18 year old women who don’t workout are attractive when they’re naked with no makeup

[–]ogkushinjapan7 points8 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

The word “thin” says it all. Average western woman is borderline obese. Anything that is scarce is considered a hot commodity.

[–]Standgrounding5 points6 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Depends on the genetics. Some are smoking hot like that, others have to fix themselves with makeup/gym/clothing because of their fat faces...

[–]WiredT9 points10 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

They are hot because alot of guys wil take what they can get, also theyre ig is full of thirsty fucks

[–]Aggressive_Beta2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I disagree. No amount of makeup, gym, or clothing is going to make a fatty attractive. They have to put down the fork

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Usually just average face or better + don't be a landwhale. Although skillful makeup helps a lot.

You can be the male equivalent of a loser with no game AND still get tons of attention just with the above criteria.

[–]TheHumbleAfrican1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Nothing blows seeing her face without makeup the morning after. Make up will never cover up flaws like overeating and not taking care of oneself.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

It's in the genetics brah, some of us are late bloomers /sarcasm

[–]OfficerWade0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Men aren’t going straight either. Although we would like to say we only like women’s body’s, we workout and admire the work of other men.

[–]Aggressive_Beta0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

There is a difference between admiring a man’s body and being sexually attracted to it

[–]Mescalean8 points9 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Another confirmation. Worked at sprouts stockroom in college. Hooked up with complete hipster register girl who would come in with her dad bod boyfriend. Soon as they break up we chill and the reaction when she started grabbing my arms hahahahahahah

100 percent watch what they do not what they say.

“Too much muscle” is actually true but only for IFBB Pro bodybuilders.

[–]lifeisweirdasfuck39 points40 points  (11 children) | Copy Link

Men's Physique are aesthetic as fuck.

A bodybuilder like Jeff Seid will get 100% attention from women (even though he's roided as shit). That's not "too much muscle".

Too much muscle is Rich Piana, even tho he would still get tons of pussy mirin.

Women are just intimidated by 250lbs bodybuilders, but that doesn't mean they are not attracted.

Actually, intimidation is primitive attraction.

In a few words, there's really nothing as "too much muscle". And if you are natty you won't even get to that point.

Whenever you hear the words "too much muscle is unattractive" just watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPyQuQGyjbc

Actions > Words.

Plenty of RP truths in that video. Only a retard would believe that women don't like muscle.

[–]philbignig1 point2 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

Jeff Seid is shredded il give you that but hes a skinny little man lol

[–]rushawa202 points3 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

You think he hasn't taken tens of thousands of dollars worth of drugs to enhance his aesthetics? Oh dear, I didn't realise people's perceptions were this far out of whack.

[–]KeyboardTuba0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I think he was getting at that while Jeff abuses a lot of steroids, he's not that big. Likely because he doesnt know or want to train properly. At my local LA Fitness, Jeff wouldnt be at the top of mass monsters or the aesthetic guys here.

[–]philbignig-4 points-3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

lol you should hit the gym.. half the people in my local gym are bigger than jeff lol.. Yeah he might of taken a little bit of steroids at some point for some shoots and competitions.. but hes lean year round and had the same physique for the last 3-4 years lol... hes just a pretty boy with a 6 pack

[–]rushawa200 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Delusional.

[–]5xEBITDA19 points20 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

It's work to keep up physically with a guy who is in shape. Most women who are "in shape" are so because they have decent genetics, most guys who are fit/jacked had to acheive it through some sort of work and they know the work associated with it.

Assuming you're referring to the open class of bodybuilding. The men's physique and even men's classic physique are rated highly by the majority of women (when they're being honest).

[–]123undeuxtrois123 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

I am referring to bodybuilding not physique

[–]5xEBITDA4 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Fair enough, just checking as physique competitors can still be IFBB professionals (and are also considered 'bodybuilders' to the average Joe who doesn't see a distinction between classes).

[–]rnsbrum7 points8 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Classic physique is where its at. Look up Calum von Moger. Absolute bodybuilder chad.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah I think even most men don't aspire that look. There's a limit.

[–]herrazki2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

thats some B.S there is no ''to much muscle'' for some girls

[–]lifeisweirdasfuck55 points56 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

"I don't think I'm hot enough to manipulate him"

Fuck. This is spot on.

I always thought it in terms of "I'm not hot enough for him", but the simple word "manipulate" actually adds much more meaning to the phrase.

When I started lifting I had some fatties in my class chasing me. One day, we were outside in a park, and there was a 30lbs of muscle heavier guy than me and what I heard from those fatty girls was "That's too much" with a facial expression of hopelessness.

I now understand clearly what that was.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 54 points55 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Never thought about the dad bod preference that way actually; makes sense.

[–]RedditArgument19 points20 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Another factor is having to rationalize why they're partnered with a slob who can't expend 3 hours of effort a week to take care of his body. It's definitely not because I'm not pretty enough or for some reason unable to get a better guy! It's because I PREFER that body.

[–]truthbomb99913 points14 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I think the biggest issue is "I don't think I'm hot enough to manipulate him" along with she KNOWS that if she dates this dude, she is signing up for a lifetime of weightlifting and fitness classes and a lot of women are too lazy and want to get fat at the first opportunity.

Have you ever SEEN the girlfriends of even amateur level bodybuilders or fitness guys? They are SMOKING hot, visible abs, an ass you can bounce a quarter off of, and they work out 5-6 days a week.

[–]FatmanO1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Legit all guys I see in gym ussaly have their girls with them. Im guessing they woudnt reject a guy but just woudnt feel as good?

[–]TheTastelessBatman9 points10 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I had a bit of a beer belly back in the days of heavy parting. Abs gone. Dated this girl and she kept saying she hates abs and what not and she likes my belly. I was like fuck that. I'm gonna get rid of it because I don't like it. She kept saying it's hot what not. I was like, perhaps she is from Eastern Europe so maybe she actually likes it? (historical days, fat men and women were preferred as it showed they are rich and all). She herself was a solid 8. Fit af. Abs. Round ass. Even said I shouldn't shave pubes and shit since she likes hairy men.

After TRP I realized maybe yes, she wanted me to be that way as she could manipulate me into buying her shit. She was always eyeing my monies. Buy me this. Buy me that. You make more money than me. Come on...

Dunno man.

[–]the_smart_donkey4 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I love this answer! It's gold!

[–]Orochimaru3312 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

That pretty much sums up it up. It's a cultural shealth that women use to manipulate men. Prevent it by taking control, not her.

[–]lookoutitscaleb0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

It's like the "I just want to find a nice guy"

[–]TheHumbleAfrican0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

wow. what a great response.

[–]KaiSmashSmashSawmash0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Word ,had a plate for 8 months, went 2 months no contact, saw her again, says she into dad bods now, fucks me good and never see her again. Could be that she couldn’t control me.

[–]rpsheepdog121 points122 points  (40 children) | Copy Link

It's work to keep up physically with a guy who is in shape. Most women who are "in shape" are so because they have decent genetics, most guys who are fit/jacked had to acheive it through some sort of work and they know the work associated with it.

It would require constant mate guarding on her behalf to keep him.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 49 points50 points  (37 children) | Copy Link

But when they're drunk or otherwise "impaired" or swiping on Tinder (since its consequence-free), they overwhelming prefer a muscular guy vs one that isn't. Which tells me that when they aren't screening for a LTR and just want to get fucked, they want fit men, because they don't have to worry about "keeping" him.

[–]rpsheepdog37 points38 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

Its AF/BB playa... All women want both, but most realize they can't sustain it. A hot guy will throw a (moderately) unattractive girl who is broke a bone way faster than the reverse.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 9 points10 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

It is particularly this kind of denial/self-denial that demonstrates just how much more egotistic women are vs. men. So many men underestimate this.

If you ask a man with a moderately healthy self-esteem a similar question, he will tell you straight up "Yeah, I'd take that HB9 at the gym any day."

[–]omega_dawg934 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

guys should kill their ego issues.

women live to boost their egos constantly.

[–]RipoffLeperDig 1 points [recovered]  (31 children) | Copy Link

We have a lot of bars in my area with rooftop patios/dance floors/decks.

I get swolested by thots every Friday and Saturday night when moving up and down the stairs (women behind you will hold on to your traps/shoulders/arms, women in front of you will intentionally crash into you).

When I was out of shape? This never happened, anywhere, ever.

Actions, not words.

[–]ChadTheWaiter10012 points13 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Lol. I was at a party with a gf one time. It was a party with all old people. My gf was hired to take pix for the party. I went along to help her bc she had some shit to set up.

So the host of the party hired a singer. It was a woman. She was attractive. She was singing and I caught her looking at me a few times. She smiled. I stared her down for a while.

After a while she took a break. The backyard was laid out like this. Back door of house opens up to a concrete pad. Maybe 100’ wide by 20’ to the fence. The left side was open where the singer was stationed and the right side had a canopy where the people at the party were. I was standing between the fence and the canopy. Complete opposite side of backyard to the door.

I saw the singer walking towards me in my peripherals. She had heels on. I turned to look at her. She fake “fell” onto me and grabbed my chest and smiled at me and said “oops”.

It was kind of one of those moments where I was like... is this REALLY happening? I played it cool though. Didn’t say anything too her other than respond to her opens but the gesture alone let me know I could fuck her if I really wanted to so I got a little chuckle out of it.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 17 points18 points  (27 children) | Copy Link

swolested
I'm stealing that.

And for reference, are you swole-swole? or more on the ripped side of the spectrum?

[–]RipoffLeperDig 1 points [recovered]  (26 children) | Copy Link

I have an FFMI of ~25.33.. 5'8", 185lbs, 10% BF. Mostly upper body.

Body dysmorphia makes it tough for me to compare, but, I'm bigger than most natural lifters and all non-weightlifters, but much smaller than many tenured bodybuilders (esp. the IFBB pros at my gym).

[–]Thizzlebot25 points26 points  (21 children) | Copy Link

I was gunna call bullshit on your stats but then you admitted to using so I have to upvote for honesty lol

[–]RipoffLeperDig 1 points [recovered]  (5 children) | Copy Link

There was a thread in r fitness discussed in r steroids today about a guy who has been lifting natty for 6 years.

I look at r brogress and that r fitness guy. I cannot even fucking imagine what it would be like to lift for years and not achieve what I have now. If I wouldn't have cut so hard for the last several months (though my lifts all went up, along with +6lbs of lean mass and -11lbs of fat loss), I would have a 315+ bench and at least a 550lb deadlift.

Lifting without gear is absolutely ruined for me (plus, technically, I'm on TRT and will never stop..but still).

I don't recommend this lifestyle to anyone: it's a serious pain in the ass and you're tethered to your drugs, your kitchen, and your gym. But, I look fucking substantially better than I did a year ago (176lbs, 20-30% BF) and I won't ever stop.

I absolutely rushed into the decisions I made, and luckily I have no regrets.

[–]ChadTheWaiter1007 points8 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

I’ve been lifting for years and haven’t achieved those stats. I just don’t want to make that life long commitment to using gear.

[–]RipoffLeperDig 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

It's only potentially a lifelong commitment. Most recover (PCT) fully with proper protocols. Many never want to come off...

I'll be on TRT for life because of how great it is and how shitty my natural levels were.

[–]ChadTheWaiter1000 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I took one cycle. I got decent, but not optimal, gains. Problem is, literally, 1 week into my pct I got an injury that put me out of lifting for 3 months. THUS back to square 1. Lost ALL of my additional strength and was basically back to my natty levels.

[–]-Frank 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

You don't have to gear to hit those lifts. Like at all.

[–]ChadTheWaiter1000 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I didn’t say you did. I said I haven’t achieved those stats. It’s true. But I’m well aware that you can lift MORE than that WITHOUT gear.

Gear would certainly get me to those stats a hell of a lot quicker than if I were to chase it naturally though.

[–]SeasonedRP0 points1 point  (14 children) | Copy Link

Go look at what drug tested lifters at the IPF worlds are lifting. Too many on here use steroids as an excuse.

[–]Pyrrhus2721 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

You know Lance Armstrong was on drugs his entire career and passed hundreds of drug tests? Testing is a shit system for catching roiders

[–]RipoffLeperDig 1 points [recovered]  (12 children) | Copy Link

My numbers are absolutely unachievable without drugs in this timeframe. That's the only thing.

My lifts are poverty compared to the PL guys and experienced BB guys at my gym, but nobody goes from untrained to these numbers in a year naturally.

[–]roidsrage2451 point2 points  (11 children) | Copy Link

Not to burst your bubble but I went from never squatting before to squatting 495 in about 8 months. This was at 18 years old and 210 lbs. Roughly 15 percent bf. I pulled 565 too at that age. I had played sports for all my childhood though and had a great base. Your numbers are great but totally within the realm of possibility without drugs within a year

[–]DerpJungler2 points3 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Within a year? It requires amazing genetics and still, rare. At minimum, a sports background is required, ex: yourself, but genetics still play a massive role.

I've been lifting for 5 years (bb mainly), my genetics are below average and I'm just getting close to OP's numbers. My point is that squatting 495 and pulling 565 in 8 months is an extreme example of genetic jackpot, or an extreme example of poor form.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Sorry to burst your bubble but there is a huge difference between "untrained" and "I've never tried this specific move before."

There was a construction worker in my gym who started to bench 70kgs when he first came. It takes months for a couch patato who played pc games whole his life to get there.

[–]RipoffLeperDig 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

How tall? Also, I was totally untrained. Also, 15%? You're underestimating unless you have the DEXA to back it up.

[–]endertheend 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

[–]RipoffLeperDig 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

My first bulk/blast was like 400mg NPP and 400mg testosterone equivalent. This last cut was TRT (TC 120mg/wk) + Tren A (250-450/wk) and Mast P (400mg/wk).

That is truly an astonishing observation to me: that most women who are fit are that way via genetics as opposed to hard work. From anecdotes and life experience, damn I think that is really true.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Knew a Persian chick once. Literally perfect body proportions. Some kind of unattainable 21" waist, a bust and ass to match, and women fucking hated her and she had no friends.

Never worked out a single day in her life.

[–]relationship_padawan42 points43 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

Easy answer is lower competition and complacency.

Women who have the commitment do not want to lose their male. A slightly ‘dad bod’ man will have a lower SMV so he is less likely to be attractive to potential females. She likes the feeling of security that that provides her.

Women are also lazy and don’t want to have to hold the standards they have to keep their SMV high as when they are on the open market. They think, albeit on a subconscious level, ‘I have catch of a man on lock down, he’s a little pudgy but I like that dad bod so I can also let myself go a little.’ Even though deep down she gets the tingles from Alpha Chad big guns over there, she may not be willing to put in the effort to keep someone so fit as sexy because of her lazy complacent lifestyle.

[–][deleted] 41 points42 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Because women communicate covertly. Saying "I like guys with big muscles" in public is asking for a world of pain from beta guys and other women calling her a shallow whore, or atleast in her mind what is a world of pain, so she learns to avoid it. Covert communication. Actions not words.

[–]boy_named_su27 points28 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

  1. opens the door for more beta orbiters. "oh, i like smart funny guys", which she could give two fucks about, makes smart funny guys orbit her cuz they think they have a chance. Now she has access to the resources of smart guys, and gets free entertainment

  2. creates a liability for her. If lover is in shape, then she'll feel anxious if she's not in shape

[–]justdontfindme1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Never thought about 1). Good one.

[–]Senior EndorsedMattyAnon23 points24 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Why do women lie about not liking a fit man?

Unfit men have resources.

Blubbery Billy Beta wants to pretend that she's an angel who loves him for "what's inside". Then he gives her money, support, love and marriage.

He wouldn't do this if he knew she found his blubber disgusting and preferred to fuck sexy fit attractive men.

Women maintain this whole lie to secure their resources and provisioning. At some level she knows Chad won't commit, so she needs a solid backup plan. It's vital that Billy feels happy committing to her and that she "loves" him for what is "inside".

[–]Shieldless_One7 points8 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Fit men have a resources too

[–]Senior EndorsedMattyAnon8 points9 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

see above re: "At some level she knows Chad won't commit"

[–]friggandfrayed14 points15 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Women are afraid of men who are confident because they cannot be manipulated into super cucks. Confident men, with self-license, can walk away at the first sign of disrespect. They cannot be walked all over.

Also women are uncomfortable by men who look better than them. It makes them feel less powerful.

Don't listen to what they say. Watch what they do. It sounds like a cliche but it's the closest you get to understanding their motivations.

Words hold little value to them. They do not think before they talk because they are driven by emotions. Which is why they are so fickel.

[–]123undeuxtrois123 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

Because they are not open about their sexuality and telling that they like men with big muscles would show their sexuality.

They don't want to come across as being superficial and attracted to looks. Since one of the cornerstone principles of TRP is not to respond to what women say, but respond to what they do, this is the perfect example.

[–]iambecomechad1 1 points [recovered]  (2 children) | Copy Link

One of the pillars of Red Pill is don’t ask women for dating advice.

[–]FUCwhiteknights[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I'd hardly call it "dating advice", but ok.

We all have our ways of gaining insight; call it boredom, experimentation, whatever.

[–]Jcorb13 points14 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't think it's born from any malicious intent, so much as a lot of women are sort of in denial (something our society does, to both men and women). They think "being attracted primarily to a guy's physical appearance" equated to "being slutty", and they don't see themselves that way. In reality, though, it's just a natural instinct, the same way us guys are also drawn primarily to a woman's physical appearance.

When you're drunk, "the real you" comes out, because you let go of most of your inhibitions. That's why drunk women seemingly lose their minds around super fit dudes; essentially the same effect as a normally mild-mannered guy getting drunk and then being a little too handsy with women.

I think women are lying as much to themselves, as anybody else, when it comes to "what they're attracted to". They might see themselves as "a good girl, who cares about what's on the inside, who isn't shallow, etc". Being drunk just kind of dispels the illusion.

[–]gsp95115 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Why are you asking those questions to them and even showing them pictures of ripped guys?

[–]dj10415 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I think it’s more instinct than anything. I think women men are interested in guys who are relatively in shape and have a gym routine. There’s a lot of guys who are skinny with definition and I don’t think they have problems getting women.

[–]duta21 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Think this is it. I see many muscular guys who just have a fit in the background face. Being masculine has more than one aspect to consider. No one has all of them.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

consciously they have ulterior motives like posters have mentioned before. a dad bod bitch is malleable, not prone to being stolen, and easy to control. however, since women are slaves to their tingles, *unconsciously* they will surrender and permit themselves to be taken by some jacked square jaw due to said tingles.

[–]divine_pizza5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I believe it stems from females wanting to be the better looking one in the potential relationship and their insecurity that a fit guy cannot be controlled by them.

my crazy, hot ex would tell me she wanted me to gain fat and stop working out because I made her look like the less attractive one in the relationship.

[–]zxcvb78095 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Fat dudes have less options than in shape dudes so they make better providers so women are attracted to them for that.

Dudes that are in shape are the ones that get the women in their heat. It is a much safer bet for a woman to date/marry a fat man, and bang an attractive one on the side.

It is actually exceptionally logical. It is the same as finding an entry level job when you have no skills, to fund the education you need to get skills to get a higher paying job.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Virtue signaling. They do not want to appear as shallow even though women are as shallow if not more than men.

Women understand that the most important factor determining their value is their youthfulness/looks. Second is their reputation. They will guard their reputation BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

This should be TRP 101 to be honest.

Don't listen to what they have to say, watch what they do.

[–]WayneNolting3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't know, why do guys lie about not liking nice tits and asses to females?

[–]Throwaway-2424243 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

It's usually one or a combination of:

a) Women have a terribly limited understanding of the male physique (understandable since most women don't need to do much to look good naked other than not be obese), and they think that "fit dude who works out a lot" is a guy who looks ready to step on stage at the Olympia, while "average dude who doesn't really work out that much and has a bit of a dadbod" looks like a pro rugby player.

b) Sour grapes. They don't think they can get and/or hold down a fit, high-SMV guy, and as such they say they don't find them attractive. Like most dudes who say they don't like model-tier girls because they "look high maintenance" or some similar cope.

c) Virtue-signalling. They worry that openly thirsting after fit men makes them look slutty.

This could very well be an unpopular answer, but here goes nothing:

Most people—I would say everyone, but let's not be absolutist—have no idea what will make them happy. They have no idea what they unconsciously and viscerally respond to. This includes men as well as women. And, yes, I include myself in this.

[–]420KUSHBUSH0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

The sooner you realize this the sooner you become at peace with yourself and generally achieve higher thresholds of happiness

I suppose this answer is part of the human condition

[–]TopofToronto2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

WHY lie when it's so obvious?

To lie to their female friends so they appear to be superior to the others and to have better taste or more needs than just a fit / muscular body.

IE Princess and the Pea fairy tale -- Princess could not get to sleep because there was a tiny pea sized lump in her mattress.

In this case, Princess could not get turned on, unless man had a doctorate in English Literature and saved children in 3rd world countries and was an astronaut on the week ends.

Being turned on by a man's muscles is just so common and gauche !!!

Second reason to lie is, if the did not then it gives you permission to just like / get turned on by a fit woman / good ass and tits and to judge women that way.

  • One. Women and men for that matter have insecurities about their bodies attractiveness.

  • Two. You can't fake -- or fake very far, physical fitness and nice ass and tits

Comes back to my answer as to why Rich older men have young women an their arms but older women don't.

You can fake a smile, looks of sexual attraction and even the moaning of an orgasm. But you can't fake an erection.

[–]hot_soup192 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

They like to pretend they're in control

They don't want everyone to know what a whore they are.

Pro tip, any unsolicited 'i don't like' means 'it has power over me'

Rejection is when they ignore you or whisper how creepy you are too their friends

[–]throwawayycheyeah2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Because orbiters are 95% of the time fatties

[–]King-Manlet2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I think it’s more down to them not knowing what they like. They don’t necessarily like big muscles but they can see that guy over there with big muscles who’s nice and toned looks pretty fuckin’ good. It’s like having a thick neck makes you look more attractive but you’d never say I’m attracted to you because of your neck, it just fits into place.

[–]WIA20XX2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Objective truth means nothing to them, unless they can get advantage.

Like all of her friends are gorgeous is another universal lie.

[–]ChadTheWaiter1004 points5 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

I remember a long while back I had a good fuck piece. She had a black personal trainer that tried to have sex with her. He was older (30s and steroid big). She pointed him out to me and told me the story. She requested that the gym gives her a different trainer after that. And here I was- handsome, in good shape at the time (all advanced lifts, maybe a few elite lifts- in proportion to my weight 5’9, 180, 14% body fat) but not in steroid shape and she chose me over him. Well she chose me over a lot of men. And a lot of women choose me. BUT I am not in top notch shape.

So I don’t think they care about physique THAT much. To some extent yes. But they don’t view a mans body the way we view a woman’s body.

[–]MGTOWMODSSUCK5 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Wasting your time. This is a swoled out bro thread for guys who can’t imagine getting girls without a steroids filled body.

I will say this: I attract/connect with WAY more girls when I started Qi gong energy training, Dan tien training and pure body weight then when I was straining myself for the “bodybuilder” physique.

And I FEEL 1000 times better and fulfilled and complete.

Being fit is important yes but it shouldn’t be FOR WOMEN. That’s a FEMALE METHOD OF ATTRACTION.

Am I saying muscles aren’t attractive to women? Sure they are. But they aren’t the only thing and they aren’t as important as TRP makes it seem.

It works great for one night stands and club game.

But a fat guy who is more in touch with his purpose/masculine and has more presence can fuck a bodybuilders girlfriend behind his back MULTIPLE TIMES on a regular basis. I have seen it.

And he doesn’t have to sacrifice as much time as the bodybuilder.

If you want to bodybuilde for a great physique go for it. But I think guys who bodybuilder solely for women are missing the point completely

Women are attracted to the emotions you provide her.

A superbody causes emotional surges (over time less and less which is why you can’t rely on it)

But there are SOOOO many other things that do this as well.

So yeah muscles are great but they should always be placed in their proper context within the mating game.

Fitness and health should not be a vanity ego thing

I will end with this: value how you feel internally/externally when it comes to health OVER how you look and you will be in GOOD health which (when combined with presence, social skills, and presence) will make you still able to get tons of women.

Build muscles for you not women. Get fit for you Be health for you

Mindset is most important.

This. A thousand times this. Doing whatever you like most lets you have a more fun time and good vibes spread. I find that the most aesthetically pleasing body is not buff but rather more fit and vascular

> Mindset is most important.

Mind over matter, you got it

[–]endertheend 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

Do you think she was really being honest? Or that he just straight up pumped and dumped her and she wanted revenge? That story actually has a lot to unpack that I don't have time for right now.

[–]ChadTheWaiter1000 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

If I didn’t believe her I wouldn’t have bothered mentioning it. But I understand your instinct to question it.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

90% lack of confidence 10% different lifestyle interest.

Generally speaking, lifting produces a specific type of human being which is different in many ways. Disciplined and clean cut though not always, but still... Some women aren't into it. Most of them are into the right kind of guy, which they don't themselves comprehend can come in so many forms, but they have these ideas... That's just how life is, you don't know what you want till it's right in your face if someone told you that you wanted something else, shouldn't want specific things etc...

[–]Guthix4Days 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy Link

Because when sober, women understand the whole social dynamic behind this issue - they want to appear generous, charitable and empathetic - a "Princess Peach" who constantly drums on about how people should be loved "for who they are" (a lie) and that "only jerks care about muscles" (another lie).

However, when under the influence, their feeble facade shatters, the veneer is torn away to reveal their most primal, sexual desires. They cast aside their retinue of orbiters and pursue the "jerk" muscle man with alarming voracity, and display noted aggression if turned down.

It's all an act that they have to maintain to avoid being branded a "man-eater" or a "slut" or a "cold-hearted whore" etc etc.

[–]420KUSHBUSH5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Your second paragraph sounds like an exert from a National Geographic documentary

[–]SalporinRP1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Same reason married woman will try to make a man do everything they want. The "Happy Wife Happy Life" idiot crowd then gives in to every demand that their wife wants. Then ironically once they submit the wife loses romantic interest.

Like others have said they want control. A ripped 6'2 adonis with an 8 pack and game can go out and fuck tons of other hot women. A dad-bod bf is less likely too have that opportunity. It's short term irrational emotional thinking though because once the guy gets a dad-bod then sexual interest will wane.

[–]W_O_M_B_A_T1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

.... RIGHT NOW.

Whenever a woman says she feels X ,wants Y, or doesnt like Z, always add this tagline.

[–]SAddy971 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Im assuming they want to keep all there options open so they have the option to go after rich guys without it being as obvious that there just in it for the money.

[–]Aymane2211 point2 points  (11 children) | Copy Link

So be jacked or ripped? Can anyone confirm which has worked before for them with women? Say 7 percent bf vs 12 Percent body fat?

[–]SeriousProfit2 points3 points  (10 children) | Copy Link

I went from 6'4" 170 lbs at around 18% BF to currently sitting at 6'4" 210 lbs at around 13% BF. There is a huge difference in how women, and just people in general treat you.

[–]Aymane2211 point2 points  (8 children) | Copy Link

Ok 6’1 172 at 7 percent I get a lot of iois women approach me and touch me in the bar. But I was wondering if it would be any different at 180-185 around 9 percent. People think I’m 195 due to low body fat. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it is what I say but just wondering

[–]SeriousProfit0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I’d say as long as your under 15% body fat your golden, so i would say it would be worth it to add a few percentages of body fat because with a shirt on you will look way bigger.

[–]SeriousProfit0 points1 point  (6 children) | Copy Link

One other thing I noticed, is that as I’ve gotten a decent bit bigger not as many women approach me, as opposed to when I was 190, I think they might be slightly intimidated, but when I approach them I do way better and they are more receptive than before.

[–]Aymane2210 points1 point  (5 children) | Copy Link

15 percent? Bro that’s fat af

[–]SeriousProfit0 points1 point  (4 children) | Copy Link

15% is still a visible 6 pack

[–]Aymane2210 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy Link

Damn really?thats not that lean tho

[–]SeriousProfit0 points1 point  (2 children) | Copy Link

Most people’s body fat is a lot higher than you’d guess. I got a body scan done and it showed 15% and I still had visible abs, bicep and shoulder veins.

[–]Aymane2210 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

I have body fat calipers. Idk how accurate those are tho

[–]SeriousProfit0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Get yourself a body scan if its available, my college has a machine. calipers aren't as accurate because everyone holds fat in different places.

[–]BlackCoffee881 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Women fear social ostracization. Because of this, they never speak of anything unflattering to themselves. Whatever they say is whatever idealized version they want to be. It's all bullshit lies and flattery. As a red pill man, just be aware of this, but do not become bitter.

[–]Spizmack1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

It’s ASD as well. Saying they’re not into “vain” things allows them to convince themselves and other girls that they’re deeper than they are.

[–]uptimex1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Once I saw a documentary about deep-sea octopuses. So when a male couldn't reach the female, he pretended he is a female and passed through another masculine male, which was bigger and stronger than him. So the masculine one thought he had two females, but he was wrong, our main character had sex with the female and went away like nothing happened.

So the narrator explained that female chooses the following: either the strongest male or the smartest male (smartest in terms of getting or creating resources, not just theoretically smart with zero clues of priorities).

[–]onionknightofknee1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

intelligence is undervalued here. just like octopus, women find intelligence to be most attractive. however, it's hard to get more intelligent and relatively easy to body build.

[–]furcryingoutloud0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Had an ex wife that used to say the same thing. I showed her a picture of Arnold on a normal day, she said, yeah, that I like, I said, you just told me you liked Arnold. Unbelievable idiot if you believe anything that comes out of their mouth. Ahem, generally of course, NAWALT, LOL.

[–]SirWrangsAlot0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Cause they're all fat now.

[–]XT3M30 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

a women appearing shallow opens her up to be hated. this is what they hate. they need people to like them

[–]Aymane2210 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

True I’ll look into it

[–]WiredT0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Wait we still give a fuck about women in terms about what we did to be healthy and look good? 🤔

[–]ogkushinjapan0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Just a shit test to filter out weak men. Like how buzzfeed how to treat women videos further separate the betas and alphas.

[–]kayfab0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

It all comes down to listen to what they say and do that other thing.

Women love muscle believe me i am 46, and been training for a very long time. What hit me is that i am bigger then ever now and i still get tones of attention.

Never forget that women are emotional creature, some are very intimidated by fit men.....

[–]send_it_for_the_boys0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

In my tinder profile I have “swipe left if you’re into dad bods, you’ll be disappointed” and I can’t tell you how many girls I’ve matched with that had in their bio some shit like “dadbods😍😍”

[–]Nighthawkdragon80 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Women experience attraction emotionally since they are sexually receptive, not aggressive. So they actually do not care if a man is fit or not, since being fit doesn’t make a women feel emotions.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
