Bodybuilding and attracting women

[CiViC SpiKeS]

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!
:D

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.

Civic, big congratulations, it only get's better.

[TheStromba]

That is one of the greatest perks.

I can feel the womens eyes on me when I walk into a room.

I love it !

[grifilken]

yeah...i'm not too big...but i have decent size arms and chest and i don't have too much problems with the ladies

[GoldenDelicious]

yep when im in shape (ie heavy and lower bf) i get waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more attention...and offers...

best perk out there i reckon :)

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.
