I admit that i go to the gym just to attract girls, what about you?

Post: #2

I go to the gym because I don't enjoy communicating with 99% of humans because I don't relate to them. When you're big enough to rip someones head off, no one fucks with you, no one cock-blocks you, no one shit-test you. People practically leave you alone and let you do your own thing wherever you are. It makes life much more enjoyable.

I would say 85% for myself 15% for the girls.

It is very important to lift for yourself first and foremost, especially if you get in an LTR because she will give you the "you don't have to go to the gym, I love your body the way it is" shit test at some point and you have to hold frame.

If you're pessimistic enough, you could argue everything men do is ultimately to land women.

But to answer your question, if I were to become asexual tomorrow, I would still lift weights as it's a form of therapy for me.

I'm guessing that you haven't been lifting for long OP. And forgive me if I'm wrong. It's just that from 10 years of experience, the guys that I've seen that stick to it do it mainly (80%+) for themselves to achieve a new goal in their physique. Doesn't matter what your physique is today, there's always something to work on. You might be skinny and you want to bulk or vice versa. That's the beauty of it!

Ironically I started working out for the sheer purpose of picking up women.

Somewhere along the line I stopped caring about picking women up and started doing it for the same reason Linux said above. Now that i'm big it has become a form of therapy.

It's solely a great way of getting others to respond to me positively. I don't get pushed around anymore.

I don't do anything in my life just for women. If you go that route, you will quickly arrive at the destination of emptiness and misery.

I would say i 've started attending the gym constantly and with huge commitment about 2 years and 7 months ago, it's quite long i think. I admit i started because i used to see good looking guys with big muscles and lean body (i mean model looking, not ridiculously huge like mr olympia) getting tons of pussy at clubs, and lots of attention from girls while most average guys and all below average guys used to end their night sad and frustrated wanking in their room.

GlobalMan i don't do things for women, i do things to get women, well girls usually.

Post: #10

It's more for confidence. The girls are a by product.

Post: #11

I'd still work out and stay fit the rest of my life even if there were no more women in the world.

Post: #12

You might put on a little muscle mass, and that may make a girl more likely to check you out or whatever, but the fact that they're the reason you go the gym just demonstrates that you won't ever have what it takes to attract and keep women.

A man always does whatever he does for himself.

Doing things just for or just to get women, same thing. I work out for me, for my health, for a long enjoyable life. I go to the coffee shop to read or write, for me. If there's a sexy woman nearby then great, I'll give it a go- but that's not my purpose for being there, and my satisfaction level doesn't depend on it. Same at a bar, concert, whatever. My purpose is to enjoy myself. If there is an opportunity to speak to a girl, great. But if not thats fine too. I do it for me. Not for pussy, that'll come and go. Pussy's cheap. Your time isn't, and learning to enjoy life independent of outside factors is crucial.

Don't do it JUST for women. If you want to use that as motivation, do it. Watch some videos of zyzz doing chatroulette.

Hopefully you'll get to a point where your body is attracting women, but you're just enjoying the lifting. If you have the mindset that you're judging chick's reactions as your bar of progress, you'll lose motivation.

GlobalMan i am sure yours is the right mentality. The thing is i was a virgin till 22, basically never done anything with a girl before that age and till the age of 24 i had almost no sexual life at all. Then in the last 2 years things have changed a lot, now at 26 i am probably getting more pussy than 99% of men (not cause i am a superhero, just cause most of men don't get pussy at all or not a lot of pussy).
I don't know if you have ever experienced literally starving of pussy for years and years and how bad it feels, how sad is ending every friday and saturday night alone in your room wanking on all the hot chicks you met that night, how frustrating is waking up in the middle of the night with a boner and cum in your pants and realizing the blowjob you were getting was just a dream.
I discovered sex very late, at that age many already have kids, so for me pussy is not cheap, and when you have craved something for so long and so bad when you finally start getting it you want more and more to make up for what you didn't get for years and years, you become addicted, i am a pussy addict now, i admit now i am definitely doing things to get as much pussy as i can. I agree with you, one day i am sure i will regret it, but now i am happy and the only thing i regret is having been a wanker for too long. The last 2 months have been probably the best in my lifeso now the moment to regret it has definitely not come yet.

About 40% to improve personal satisfaction with my body, 60% to improve success with women.

Post: #17

With regards to women, I have found zero benefits from lifting weights, so far. So that wouldn't be very good motivation. I like being healthier, though.

Post: #18

If there is one thing I have done right in this life it's that I got huge in my teens. I built a foundation for the future.

All that's left is not fucking it up.

I keep going because I can't imagine looking in the mirror and seeing anything else. That would be devastating, to look in the mirror and see that I had squandered that gift.

Post: #19

I really enjoy working out. That's really all there is to it for me. If I hated it I wouldn't do it.

Right now, maybe not. But the difference is that some day you might and on that day being bigger will make the difference. Having "fuck you" size is a massive confidence booster, simply because humans are wired to have more faith, trust and fear in those who are more physically capable. Please note that though physicque helps a lot, this is also a mental state. Some people are big motherfuckers but sometimes you will immediately feel and see they don't own their space.

At first I went to the gym to "lift for girls" but after a while that wears off and it becomes an addiction to improve yourself and push your body over new plateaus.

There are numerous posts in the forum from big guys saying people want to fight them just to test themselves, but how big is big enough to rip someone's head in your opinion?

If no one went to the gym just to attract girls everyone would be doing oly lifting/powerlifting because its much more enjoyable. I switched to a bodybuilding routine currently just to improve my aesthetics. If guys aren't gonna be honest i dont see the point in this thread.

I know this is a bit off topic, but what part of Italy are you in? Is there any way could could post a data sheet about your city?

Post: #24

I go to the gym because I like quantifiable progress, no matter what I do.

It's also an easy way to exercise since all big cities have easily accessible gyms.

Also, I like to look good

Not true for me . Power lifting is not more enjoyable to me. I trained that way for years and it got me to a solid strength level, but did not maximize my physique.

Many men who go to the gym to bodybuild want a certain physique for themselves. In other words , if you took women out of the equation, dudes would still want to look like xyz celeb, athlete, whatever) they saw and admired somewhere. For me it was Michael Jai white in "Univeral Soldier"
...

Also there are many uses to looking big and dominant outside of women. Prison would be an extreme example of this - I'm sure you get my point.

Hell personally speaking I would have stopped once I got to 200lbs-205lb (@6'1") if it was all about the women. But I continued on to be 230 at higher bodyfat because, I like being this big and the benefits that go with it.

Now I get to look the way I WANT and the women that like that can hop n board, the ones that want Abercrombie and Fitch...well I'm not going cater to them.
