Why do some young men think they have to go to the gym for a long time before they talk to women?

[Anonymous]

They say it's delayed gratification, but I think it's a form or procrastination. They should actually talk to women and not expect that they will automatically become more attractive if they go to the gym

I would say they use going to the gym as a confidence boost. Many guys are not really in shape so if they ask out a woman she might reject them right away. So the reason could be that they are not in the shape they want to be.

But if they are in decent shape, even if they are not very muscular and big, they should try to approach women and ask them out. That is another form of "exercise" you have to do to get better at it

It´s not a question of shape but of confidence. There are guys that are good in shape and not confident. Going out and asking out a woman is something that needs confidence some guys don´t have.

Nobody teaches young boys that if they want to get girls, then they should go and talk to the girls, not distract themselves with gym or a career or whatever. It's deviating away from the core problem.

I wasn't taught.

Now I'm old and I know this too late.

Guys think that if they are fit then women will find them attractive. That's so shallow there's more to Guys than just physical appearance.

Because believe me or not going to the gym enhances your physical attractiveness..

Ok, that's right, but shouldn't they talk to girls anyway?
