Does working out and having a 6 pack matter after 30?

[Anonymous]

I do that, I still struggle with women. I work out a lot and have a body I’m proud of. I don’t really intend on going back to how it was… because doing so is unhealthy.

but I still struggle, does working out matter at 30+?

[Sonorous]

All the women who have been attracted to me in the past were still attracted to me even when I didn't have abs. I'm pretty sure that I met them all when I didn't have abs. I was just not obese. So being in shape wasn't a huge requirement. I think that if someone want's abs, go for it. Don't do it for anybody else but yourself. I have abs right now & I'll continue to have them as long as I stay lean. Just comes with being lean really. Well that & not being bloated from water retention or adding too much temporary fat via the randle cycle or a higher than maintenance tdee calorie average on average.

Staying in shape does. Round is a shape.

Yes the purpose is you thou not someone else. You work out everyday and do all the things you hate doing so that when the times comes you will be ready for life. Ask not what your abs do for you but how what you do for your abs makes you "more" than the next guy. Its about being prepared and loving yourself not becoming what other people want. Next time you work out know it's not a chore that makes you. You make the chore work for you and create the body you want. That Do that same thing with life let life work through you not respond to how it happens to you.

My usual reaction to this topic:

see below

I mean this above tells a lot about a reality I'm looking at everyday, so I can't ignore it. It's not a joke to me, I have seen that enough times by now. I have also heard many women telling openly "I don't like muscly guys because they look dumb or self-absorbed by their image".

I have never had any problem to develop relationships either, I never went to the gym. So, you know, everything tells me that working out is only a thing to do for oneself, when it's your thing, but it has no value outside of this scope.

Matter to who? You or a bunch of women you don't know? You said you're proud of / happy with your fitness and you don't want to ever lose that. You feel good. You feel confident, right? I think that's the secret. Stay fit because you enjoy it. Women will pick up on your confidence and attitude and drive to take care of yourself as much as your fitness. And looks + confidence + drive may or may not affect any given woman. Who cares? You're just doing your thing. You only need to connect with one woman.

For me personally. Yes. I'm fit, straight through very serious illness too. And need someone with the same mental frame of mind. Peak fitness (not dad bod or chiseled, normal peak fitness) , along with healthy eating (not even obsessive just keep balanced) allows your body to heal quicker and you feel better.

[Anonymous]

it never mattered to me. don't really care. you go to the gym? cool. you have a dad bod? cool. if you are proud of your body, honestly that's pretty rare in society. so please, continue to be healthy and proud.

but, that is besides the point, because a nice body is not what keeps women hanging around... what area are you struggling with women at? are they intimidated by you? have you asked why they stopped talking to you or seeing you?

[DishLady]

Depends on the guy. If that’s the look he wants then it matters. Does it matter to the ladies? Meh. I rather he work on his mind and soul and have a loose 4-pack.

[LiamJHayden]

Depends upon the woman. Some love extreme fitness to the exclusion of everything else. Others prefer personality. Others like funny guys. Others just care about how much money the guy has and is willing to spend on her.

You don't have to have a six pack, but working out for sure. It's very good for your mood, energy, stress, and drive.

[exitseven]

I have been working out hard for 30 years and I still do not have a 6 pack.

[Ironic_Method]

It depends on what you're looking for, but it does matter. How much depends on what your goal is and their caliber.

[CarolinaCutie5]

That doesn't pay the bills so no there needs to be more to a man than just that.

[iFarted]

Do you work out to attract women or do you work out for your own health?

[Asker]

Both, but health mainly.

[Anonymous]

I don't care about 6 packs or big arm muscles.

As long as you're fit and healthy that's all that matters.

I find those types of people vain and up themselves.

[qwerty2469]

If thats all that matters after 30nyou failed at life.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I think it does, but it probably doesn't matter when you're 40+

[queenofcardio]

Yes. It's so important to workout

[Nikki1989]

It doesn't matter at any age.

[mrshooiser]

Yes. Got to stay healthy and in shape.

[DrPepper12]

Umm... HEALTH matters... ALWAYS

[Chayce]

Working out does. Having a 6 pack doesn't.

[In_Trance]

[Bklynbadboy12]
