This is a little like the "do girls only wear make-up to attract men" question, and it is interesting to see most people say most guys do it purely for attraction.
I think it would be safe to say most guys do. If anything, they want to be healthy and maintaining being healthy, picking up chicks, is a bonus.. Sometimes
i used to go to the gym to get stronger for sports. if i do go to the gym now, it's to get in relative shape. but since most gym rats are fuckboys, i know they do it mostly to just get big, but also to get bitches, too
No, most guys who build muscle generally do it for a sport they play or because they want the muscle. I think most women would just like to think we do it for them.
I think that's the reason the vast majority of guys around my age (read: douchebags) go to the gym. Adults probably have motivation deeper than that though.
It is sad... all that effort... just to impress another person who may or may not even be worth it of it. Living life trying to impress others is one big waste.
Well I think it's somewhat in the middle, of course my main goal is to look good to the opposite sex, but I also like the progress I make and it always puts me in a better mood.
I say the majority do start with the motivation of looking good to attract girls... in college when started working out, it was part of the equation for me!
@YourFutureEx from my personal experience I've worked out to lose weight for my husband or after I had kids because of societies expectations but it wasn't for me and I wasn't successful and didn't enjoy it. Now I do it for myself. Physically, mentally, emotionally etc and I've reached many goals and I genuinely love it.
some ( majority of muscular guys) do it to attract girls... but some do because they feel weak in life. and try to stand up to their selves. my ex was a case like that too.. he lost his best friends in a car crashed and he was with them but couldn't help so he went to gym and worked out like a beast to be stronger.

Yep, that inspired my question.

The guys I know go to the gym to be strong. Not for any other reason
I'd say that can be a motivator to get muscle, but it's only one of the reasons.
Most people I know would do it even if there was not a single woman on earth. They do it for themselves
I think it's one of the reasons. Like a motivator. But the first thing that came to my head was, "to get healthier"

Maybe some do it for both reasons or just for themselves, but I'm sure a lot think that it can attract girls
I really hope it's for themselves. That's why everyone should be working out.
Interesting. Why so?

Good. Thanks :)
I think different reasons...

but some do because they feel weak in life. and try to stand up to their selves.

Its just like girls dress up well for themselves. Its another thing that guys get attracted to this.
Huh.! Wish guys in my hometown also get it.
I think they do it to impresshow girls I mean really you hear about girls complementing dudes with abs before any other body type well... most girls.
I personally do it for myself and no one else if gals like it then that's just a plus but I don't do it for them.
It certainly ain't gonna be my quasi-ginger face and sparkling personality that reels them in. I need a crutch.
