Can going to the gym help you get a girlfriend?

I don't have any conclusive evidence. I never went to the gym girlfriend-less and walked out with a girlfriend. But logically, here are some reasons going to the gym can help you get a girlfriend:

1. You are going to be more fit.
2. You are going to be less stressed.
3. You are practicing a good habit, which is both good for your psyche and for your status in other's eyes.
4. You have a healthy activity that makes for good conversation material. i. e. you can chat up a girl with some of the exercises you do, why you do them, diet changes you've made, your favorite exercises, issues you've had with certain equipment/exercises, your goals, etc, etc, etc,.

In my experience so far, what helps is you becoming content with yourself. Take care of yourself. Go to gym, but to stay healthy. Not to pick up girls. Go to bar, to socialize. Whatever you do, just do it for yourself. Be independent.

And it is also useful because you are not disappointed by the outcome. If you go to gym, with the expectation of getting girls, you might be disappointed. But if you go to gym to stay healthy, you are most likely not gonna be disappointed.

These small things effect your daily mood, and ultimately, effect your personality. It will help you get more approachable, more fun to be around. In the end, that's more important.

kind of it depends on what time of girl you want, not all girl are attracted to ripped men and some women don't really stick around for a relationship if you only have the looks but it'll probably make it easier for u to get laid but again not necessarily a girlfriend

A little bit of exercise helps but don’t over do it. In the same way men don’t like woman who wear too much make up cause it doesn’t look normal - girls don’t like guys who are too muscular cause it doesn’t look normal. A little bit of muscle can be hot though.

hellacray · Answer

Haha well it hasn't worked for me. Altho I do go to the gym at irregular hours where it's kind of empty. And I have my headphones on pretty much the whole time.

While I think improving your physique helps, but unless you're like a model don't expect women to be flocking to you just because you got in shape.

Just get in shape for you and don't do it just to get a girlfriend. Cause I think doing it just to get a girlfriend is having the wrong mentality.

What happens when you do get a girlfriend? Are you going to start slacking? Afterall you have a girlfriend now which is the whole point of going to the gym in the first place right? Or maybe you see that losing some weight got you a girlfriend and then maybe you think getting even more ripped will get you a model girlfriend. You know it's like trading up.

So yeah do it to improve yourself that should be your biggest reason for going to the gym.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Being physically fit does make someone more attractive, generally, yes.

But the benefits of exercise are so much better than just getting a girlfriend. Exercise helps keep one mentally healthy, physically healthy, sets you up for a higher quality of life, and allows you to develop mental, emotional and physical fortitude.

Basically, yes. And so much more that the girlfriend becomes a bonus.

Hermes-Paris · Answer

Keep up a healthy lifestyle which includes gym, eating well, and having a well balanced lifestyle and the women will find you. But yes it is pretty much a give we humans are attracted to healthy people in general. So go ahead and plop down some cash and get busy.

Kaazsz · Answer

Going to the gym and growing muscle also makes other men respect you more and treat you better. And when other dudes treat you better, so do girls. And when girls treat you better, other girls notice and treat you better.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer basically.

RawIronhide · Answer

Why don't you try to develop your personality? Of course it helps but to many guys think it's going to save them. Like if they got muscles, girls will like them. They're not wrong but it's like they believe girls only date guys for their muscles. Some girls like guys who are smart or funny it's kinda a shallow train of thought to think you just need muscles.

AlienParasite · Answer

Looks cause attraction though personality is what keeps people. It may help you to get more chances to meet women, but for any of them to become your girlfriend personality compatibility will play a big role.

Bananaman177 · Answer

You can raise your odds of finding a girlfriend by 2-5%, but if your overall score is below passing, chances are, a 2-5% raise isn't going to help you any bit at all.

If you're short or ugly or poor or you come from a broken home or a bad upbringing or if there's anything physically wrong with you, it doesn't matter how "fit" you are, girls will still avoid you like the plague. They'll roll their eyes at your big muscles and say, "Oh, he's just compensating."

Bandit74 · Answer

I think it can help but face and height matter more and if you suck in those areas having muscles isn't going to make a difference. Also to a certain extent how aesthetic your physique looks is based on your skeletal structure and insertion points so you could have two guys with the same muscle mass but one could still look far more aesthetic than the other.

front2back · Answer

I can tell you as a guy who lifts more than my weight easily and had been lifting for years:
No. Women of course don't mind a more muscular physique, but ever other piece of the puzzle like your facial appearance, charm, social status, etc. Needs to be there.

And there is NO gym for the face.

DizzyDesii · Answer

It’ll work for having an attractive body but hopefully the guy has a cute face. Thats whats more important... and faves dont change easily

MissDawn7961 · Answer

yes and no ! no for - no girl wants to see a man all - sweaty , stinky , looking bad , fat , wet from sweat and ugly either - ! however , yes because she might like looking at him - flexing his muscles - to impress her as well ! thanks

Petra150 · Answer

I'd say if you live a guy , and he's personality and everything else is fine , it doesn't hurt him having some muscle too, as long he doesn't look like a guy who have he's brain in he's over arms like Dwayne Johnson

DeltaCharlieEcho · Answer

Women aren't attracted to fitness in today's society. Today women have a tendency to date across and up dominance hierarchy scales. Realistically women only consider the top 20% of men average and the top 2% extremely attractive.

There's no formula to getting women outside of having a lot of social influence, money, and potential to move up.

SpeshalK19977 · Answer

I don’t think girls give a shit about looks as they are very non sexual

Maybe looks will help 1% out of 100, but girls care 99% about personality, something I lack,
And even tho I’m good looking, getting girls is very hard for me cos I don’t have good personality

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Yes. Makes you feel better health and energy wise, feel more confident, and look better. Im 33 and i had a 19 year old tell me im way more physically fit than the average guys her age and im the most athletic of any guy she ever hooked up with. So yeah it seems to help quite a bit. I also feel strong and capable as fuck because i do mma so i know i can kick most peoples ass easy.

TheAfrikan · Answer

Going to the gym helps one to get fit and healthy plus attractive.
But if you want to get a girlfriend then do approach them basically through doing something you have got an interest in.
It can be going to the gym to meet them or walking to the park and approach them.

JDavid25 · Answer

Well, it'll definitely get more women attracted to you if you stay consistent and start gettin a nice body.. But, that's usually a smal part of what women like or just the beginning.. It'll take time though..

JosyJosy · Answer

It can help you attract a girl, but you'll need more than a good body to keep the girl

Anonymous · Answer

In a way maybe. It could maybe make you first impression better. I don't know what you look like. But if your personality isn't great I doubt that the gym only is going to help you.

Brian___1731 · Answer

No, sure the body might attract some but the aim should never be to attract people, it should be to improve yourself and increase your strength and confidence

Anonymous · Answer

Nope coz if you ask a girl what she looks for in a guy, she will tell you it's his personality. They don't look at height, body, face etc. Only your soul. It's just a coincidence that most women would rather date the tallest, biggest, most physically fit man they can find. They'll tell you it's his kind and caring soul that they love.

JSmuve · Answer

It can't hurt. But you still have to approach and charm her into giving you her number and actually showing up to enough dates that you eventually get into a relationship. Hitting the weights doesn't help with any of that though.

Anonymous · Answer

To me it means that you’re an active person, not lazy and that you care about your health. So I would say yes. I don’t actually care how your body looks but I wouldn’t date a guy that doesn’t work out.

mélancolie · Answer

I mean yea ofc as long as you don't get too big. a hotter body obv helps

MikeTheBartender · Answer

DavidFox · Answer

Yes. Setting goals for self improvement, being disciplined to achieve those goals are attractive. Girls want a guy who can meet a challenge head on and overcome it.

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

It won't help you GET a girlfriend, but it will remove a lot of barriers that otherwise would HINDER your ability to get a girlfriend.

slatyb · Answer

Sure, it will make you appear healthier and stronger, traits that are considered attractive by most. It may also help your self-esteem.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

for both sides being fit can boost your own confidence and help attract the opposite gender to some degree.

FatherJack · Answer

Maybe slightly , but you should be training for your own goals , not for the sole goal of getting a girlfriend. A man has to bring way more to the table than mere looks to get the interest of women.

AffectionKing · Answer

Yes and no. You can be in great shape but if ypu don't have a personality or know how to keep a woman happy she's not going to talk to you

TacosRAwesome · Answer

It does to an extent but you must also work on your personality.

eprince999 · Answer

It might help with physical attraction, yes. But you should remind yourself, that part is only the spark. If you have no social skills to speak of, or aren't very good with women in general, you could be as big as Brock Lesnar and still get no luck.

Jack9949 · Answer

Not as much as most men would like to have you believe. Women are far less visual. There’s more to attraction than a build

Paul09 · Answer

Yes it can. Mostly help. The healthily you get, the happier you get. The more it shows. But all depends, it's not magic, it will not exactly have people flocking to you. Have to change your mindset.

Pete671 · Answer

it can make you more confident, that certainly helps,,,

Phoenix98 · Answer

I mean it’ll help you look fitter, healthier so from an aesthetics perspective yeah it’ll help.

Anonymous · Answer

Dude, value has nothing to do with your size. That’s like saying skinny people are more value than bigger people. However, going to the gym is a good thing. Not everyone in America does this, but a good amount of people do.

iFarted · Answer

Usually yes, whats funny is I actually get more attention when I'm a little chubby compared to when I'm fit.

Texaskid1 · Answer

Yes.  It helps to attract them. Also , having a very large shaft is a plus.

John_Doesnt · Answer

Only if you can make money by going to the gym. Women only care about money and dlck size.

It probably increases your chances by having a fitter or more muscly body and will probably give you more confidence.  But it doesn't guarantee you one or anything.

I was going to the gym and it didn't help me get a girlfriend all those years, because of Covid, I bought equipment and I now workout at home.

more_than_a_guy · Answer

Working out can increase confidence, and confidence is essential for dating. So indirectly it can boost the chances with women.

One that only cares about what you look like physically

Doing anything with the goal of having a "girlfriend" is the wrong reason.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes to an extent. In general attractive people have better chances. You also can use minimal make up, and with better hair styles to get more make up

If you don't have an handsome face, which I myself don't, I don't think it would make a difference.
