Bodybuilding and attracting women
Ive noticed since i gained my first 20 pounds that im having alot easier time "picking up" women that i used to have 6 months to a year ago.. Now i have more women approaching me and the "quality" has definately taken a turn for the better!
 I think i would base this on the fact that im alot more confident and if you would "cocky" on my approach instead of before when women could smell the fear from a mile away! Also my clothes actually fit better and i wear more clothes now that show my arms and outlines of my back and things of that nature.. Now im just itching to put on more weight and take it to the next level!  Any of you guys notice the before and after difference with women?

I've had more confidence in myself since I started working out and before I was fairly shy, now I'm less hesitate to flirt with a girl if I think she'll be receptive to the idea.

Duh, this is one of the best perks or being in shape. Attracting the attention of the opposite sex!

i was always athletic growing up, I was actually overly skinny. When I went to college I quit playing lacrosse and just laid around , smoked weed, drank beer, ate wings...... and got fat. I had no self esteme anymore.
Something got me working out and in no time I was in better shape than I had ever been in. I was hooking up with the hottest girls and feeling great. This was all before I ever touched gear.

Before I started working out I was 6'3" and 155 lbs. (I have shitty genetics). I been working out for 5 years and weigh 215-220 with 7 % body fat. Ive never had a problem with the ladies but there are definatly more of them now. Im no where near huge, but it definatly feels good to look fit instead of tall and skinny.

hi everyone, this is my first post here but i have been lurking and reading for a few months. i have thought about this topic a lot maybe even more so recently, mostly because i am single for the first time in about 6 years. now i have been a lot of different shapes and sizes. presently i am the best i have ever been ( 6'2" 270 haven't measured bf yet but i just started dieting and abbs are peaking through ) and i am probably the most self conscious that i have ever been. at this point i feel that the way i look could have either a positive or negative impact and it really depends on the girl. i never wear tight clothes and never try to show off but people still make a lot of assumptions about me because of the way i look. that said, girls hit on me pretty regularly. actually i have never asked a girl out or even approached one, at least up until
yesterday ( im 24 ) . but i have always figured that it was just a coincidence, and that i am shy and usually quiet around people i don't know. but i haven't always looked like this, 2 years ago i was about 180 and similar bf% even at that size i was muscular. i had a gf at the time so i wasn't looking for anyone else. but girls would still approach me even with my gf there, i would say over all there isn't too much difference between then and now. but about 5 months before that i was 270 and in the absolute worst shape of my life i hadn't even been to the gym for most of that year and drank way too much. now even then girls would approach me, not the way they do now but still it was never a problem. so do i see a difference in how girls approach me at different sizes yes i do, but i don't think gaining or loosing 20 pounds of muscle would have an effect on how women approach me. the biggest difference that i see is in what they say. when i was fat and in no shape i never had a girl come up and just ask to touch me, or ask for sex within the first 5 mins of a conversation. and lots of times i get treated more like an object than a person. i guess it is a little flattering, but more times than not it makes me a little uncomfortable or embarrassed not too sure why, but i definitely don't see myself the way others do. it is also a little frustrating because i would much rather be having a real conversation with someone that was interested in what i have to say.

I am a good talker and will approach girls anyways, but I do get a lot of comments from them that they like my arms or ass or something.
I think a lot of girls have a thing about big guys to, like it makes them feel safe or something?? Even friends of mine that don't train, their wives and gfs will come and hug me or sit on my lap when I talk to them...innocent and all, but they sit on my lap like kids on santa

since getting in shape and bigger i've noticed more eyes trailing me in the gym... but no one has been as bold as some of you have experienced... i haven't even dated for a year and think i just need to grow some balls and do the approaching and asking, and stop waiting for the "perfect opportunity" to strike up a conversation and just have things happen. seems as of late the only people approaching me are jehovah's witnesses at my door.... maybe i'm just ugly?!? : )

WOW, you're 270 and you can start to see ab definition? That's pretty impressive. The other thing is that you were 270 and fat (according to you) then in 5 months dropped to 180 and then in 2 years added 90 lbs of muscle? You must have some incredible genetics! That's a big swing both ways for weight loss and weight gain. I haven't seen anyone lose and gain that much so fast before. More power to you.

I have always been in pretty good shape, but I have found that ever since I cut all of my hair off I have had better responses from women!!! I use to have spiked hair with blonde highlights, but I buzzed it all off and now my hair is about an 1/8 of an inch long and the women just seem to love it!!! Anyone else had this happen???

I can say that I love working out and watching my body grow....it is the ultimate compliment for myself. My weak point are my arms, and I am happy to say that they are growing! When I first started working out I was SO self concious of my arms at the gym...but now that they are bigger I notice guys watching me when I lift. Not that I can lift a whole hell of a lot yet, but I think I get a lot of respect and awe that I am female, and am there for the same reasons they are. Its funny, my man LOVES to watch me at the gym, he is entralled at watching my muscles in motion...sometimes I think he would rape me on the spot if he could LOL I can say that I love watching him work too...
 My hubby notices the difference with other women too...especially with others that we play with...they will always be running their hands down his chest and telling him what a great ass he has! I need to post a pic of him sometime, he has a beautiful body. He is a smaller build, but he is sooo cut up!! YUM

Yes! I shaved my head completely, and that gets a lot of attention. Also, about 5 years ago, I was 170lb, 20% BF, and now I am 220lb, 20% BF. As you can see, I am in no way in the best shape but the size itself is enough. I can see a definite change in the way that girls treat me these days. I had a "first" this past weekend. I was talking to a girl at a bar in another town and this local guy got jealous that I was getting more attention than him. He was skinny too. Man I am having a good time.

L_K_ Thanks, but I have never thought of myself as someone with good genetics I just try my best, and train and eat consistently. Yes I was 270 and extremely fat, it was the worst shape of my life. I did nothing but drink and smoke for months, and ate like shit. I looked at myself one day and was disgusted so I decided to change things. at this point I guess I was 21 and although I had played football in HS and college and trained for it, I really didn't have any understanding of diet or training as a BB. I changed all of my bad habits started going to the gym again and the weight came off fast. I dropped 30 pounds in the first month alone. I started at the beginning of April and by June I was down to about 220. I hit a little plateau but by November I was 180. also around this time is when I found online discussion boards and really started reading a lot about BBing, I would read for 4-5 hours a day on diet training gear everything I could find. Once I started to understand some of this stuff I realized that I was eating next to nothing and severely over training. Sometime that winter, I guess around January I decided that I was too small and it was time to grow. so the first changes I made were to my diet, I started taking in a minimum of 400 grams of protein a day, and just by doing that and cutting out cardio I gained about 30-40 pounds, that was from January to august. In august I found something that completely changed me, how I worked out, ate ,everything. I learned finally how to train right and eat right. What I found was the cfp thread on akits. honestly that thread and training with dc later that year changed everything for me. in august I was weighing around 210-220 I don't measure bf ,I just go by the mirror and I could easily see my top 4 abs ( I carry most of my fat very low on my stomach ) . by November I was around 240 and slightly higher bf% but not much. up until this point I was natural. from November to February I gained another 40 pounds, honestly I would say mostly fat. in fedora I started training online with dc and that is when I really started to get it. my weight stayed pretty much the same through the summer I was just adding muscle while loosing fat. at my heaviest that winter I was up to almost 300. my life was kind of turned upside for a while and I took 3 months off completely at the end of last summer. very light training no cardio no supplements. in the middle of this past October I started hitting things hard again. I pretty quickly got back to my previous best witch was in the beginning of July, and have made solid progress since. the past month or so I have dropped a lot of fat, several inches from my waste, and this was just from dialing in my diet no cardio. I am going to start doing cardio next week and try to dial in my diet a little further. right now my short term goal is to be a solid 270 this summer, really I just want to be presentable maybe around 10%bf, I don't compete and have no desire to do so, I just really enjoy bbing, my biggest goal is just to feel ok about myself. I guess if you look at the numbers I made decent progress, but it wasn't like I gained 90 pounds of lean muscle in a few months. I bulked hard and blew myself up, yes I got too fat but the whole process has been a learning experience and I just continue to learn as I go. I hope that makes things a little clearer. sorry to everyone else for jacking the thread.

There is nothing sexier, to me, than a big muscular guy with a confident "cocky" attitude.

My story started out much the same as you guys. Skinny dude, put some size on, got up to 240 and meeting alot of women. BUT, I started to get into powerlifting, my mid section got thicker from all the heavy squat work and I noticed the chicks weren't coming around as much. Now, I'm up over 330 at about 10.5% bf and it's harder than hell to meet women(not that I'm looking now. I have a sweetheart, but when I was...). It's almost as if I went back to being that shy skinny kid again with no confidence. Go figure.

Ok, this is my first time posting. I AM the skinny kid that is shy and not very confident. I mean I can get some girls if I tried but I am just too shy. But right now is kinda the perfect chance for me to start doing something with my body since I am in Kuwait right now working for the government. I am out of shape and want to " get built ". I work 12 hours a day and get only 1 day off a week so time is a big thing that I need to work out before I can "work out". I am 6 ft and about 155 pds. I don't know hardly anything about supplements or anything like that so if anyone could give me any kind of info on what I can do.......PLEASE let me know! I am dying to change my life and appearance for that matter.
