Does gaining muscle increase the possibility of finding a girlfriend?
No but looking more healthy and better (not that more muscle is always better) CAN CERTAINLY mean you can provide more value.
That's what high value means... It means you can give more value than the average person. It's not about being confident and all that bs. That often comes with it though. Whoever provides the most service wins... It applies to ever aspect of life. The company that provides the most service gets the most money. The more you give.
Giving people satisfaction from looking at you is something. It fulfills something they want.
The golden rule is founded upon this. "Treat others how you want to be treated"
What you give you get back something usually in harmony. If you treat someone kind and you make sure to make it very obvious you were kind, it will start up subconscious activity in them which leads to them responding in a harmonic manner. So if you treat them mean, you know what you're going to get. A response that suggest disharmony with you.01 Reply

+1 yif you mean the one on top your shoulders... the brain, yes. That thing will draw a woman.
The rest ofthe body, only a subset, probably a small subset, will it impress. Gaining too much will deter quite a few females.
You aren't thinking or understanding females if you ask this question. You are on the right path, but missing the big picture.
Let me simplify it for you... They are looking for an emotional connection so that they can control the man and be his #1 priority. That provides them a good sense of security from which to have and raise some very long term offspring.
Big muscles might be an influencer in the eyes of some in terms of security, especially if their father was like that. But for most, having a good sharp mind, socially engaging, charm is far more impressive.
Whom has more power... a bad ass Sgt in the army that can fire a machine gun off his hip... or a quick witted Senator? It's really simple...

Yes. Because that big brain is so obvious and sexy from across a room.

Those you see they gain too much muscle are on steroids.

+1 yHells yeah if you have any modicum of social skill. Half the girls I dated were ones who wanted to feel my biceps and chest when I was younger. They didn't care about my art or music or even CompSci degree nearly as much as my muscles.
You can tell that easily with a litmus test. Which girl most likely wants to date you based on her compliments? Girl A: "You're so amrt!" Girl B: "You're so cute!" Girl C: "Your body is hot."
I think every guy knows the answer. Building up your body is the #1 way to up your game besides social skills.

That said, chest and bis are usually what girls focus on but not what they're truly impressed by. So you shouldn't just push and curl your way to this type of bod. Girls are usually impressed by strength. So just lopsided pull and curl doesn't work so well. You have to have whole body strength and focusing on your biggest muscles like lats, quads, hams. You have to walk into the room with power with guys getting out of your way as you sit on a chair. So having 20-inch biceps with a weak back isn't gonna cut it. You gotta be round it out.
+1 yMy weight has yo-yoed over the years. I’ve been skinny, athletic, muscular, and chubby. By far I have the easiest time with women when I’m in shape. It made a huge difference for me. People are talking nonsense when they say it doesn’t.
However where they are correct is that lifting won’t get you laid by itself. Looking good gets you initial interest, but then you have to talk to the girl, and if you’re lacking in confidence or your social skills are bad, she’s gonna lose interest very quickly. If that‘s a problem you have you have to work on that too.

Not necessarily, it might increase your own confidence level and your self esteem if you feel down on yourself , but you don’t need muscle to do that , if a girl is all about physical appearance and that’s what attracts her to a man , you don’t want her , trust me , She might want your cock but she doesn’t really want your heart , those type of girls will easily cheat on you , You want a girl that wants you for who you are and your heart and personality , you don’t want a girl that jumps from cock to cock

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yDude you are 30 years old. Do it to make yourself feel better and put yourself in a better mood. Don't it for superficial reasons.
Try martial arts instead of going to a commercial gym. You have to keep focused on drills and the your partner will have to as well. It's to get your mind off of Instagram and all the bs on the internet.
Once you are in a good mood and you have those positive vibes around you, the girls will come. You think "Oh, I am going to get buff and then I'll get a girlfriend" no that's ridiculous. You want boost your mood to get positive results.
The more you try to get someone to like you, the less someone is going to like you.

Asker+1 yI never have a girlfriend. I got out of mind about it.
Opinion Owner+1 yYou can go oversea if you have younger women who are interested in you. Geomaxxing. In the US it will be hard if you are not loaded.
Opinion Owner+1 yBut the girls overseas in a country like Yugoslavia or Turkey will like you because you seem like a nice guy. They mostly want a guy with an old-school gentleman personality. They are looking for a husband, so they will stay with you once they pick.
But dating a woman In a Western country, especially the US, will be very difficult for a guy in is 30s who lacks experience. But never move back to the US or a Western country with those women. You can send your kids to boarding school if you have to.
Asker+1 yIt is difficult for me to date in Turkey too. Dangerious too if I try to talk to a woman outside. I might get beaten up for harrasment.
Asker+1 yIt is almost impossible for a man to talk to a woman outside if the man doesn't know the woman.
Asker+1 yI live in Turkey.
Asker+1 yI studied a department in university where most students were girls in the class. I was still unable to talk to them. They wouldn't talk.
Opinion Owner+1 yI am western, but it's easier for me. Damn, that sucks. I am sorry, bro.
+1 yNot gaining muscle by itself but it’s a chain reaction. Gain more muscle you feel good, if you feel good you become more confident and confidence is key in a lot of areas of life it can help you progress in your career or find a better one it can make you further your self care and it can help you communicate with people as an equal because you feel equal and not like you’re beneath any man or woman and that is universally attractive I believe not to mention with that confidence you’re able to be your true self and less of a people pleaser because you devalue the opinions of those around you a bit more when you’re confident so it filters out the fakes who try to like you for your superficial gains. Regardless whatever your view is on if it’s attractive or not I can tell you it doesn’t hurt to improve yourself regardless of the answer

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yPast losing the beer belly, working out usually only gets you male attraction. I love the gym, but I can't max out anymore because I don't want to put more size on. I've approached some girls who have even said that my size is a turn off, so now I just wear baggy af sweatshirts hoping girls don't notice.
If you workout for girls, you're doing it wrong.00 Reply
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yIn a roundabout way. Not all, arguabley most women are not attracted to muscles. But women do like "fit" guys. So I would say putting on muscles will make you feel better about yourself. Make you feel like more of a man. And that in turn will make you stand taller and make you more confident. Which will increase the possibility in finding a girlfriend. So as I said "in a roundabout way".

+1 yYes, everything else being equal it increases your chances. It is still not the main thing, though. Most of all you need to know how to talk and to listen.
00 ReplyIt can help get girls attention but keeping the attention is something that a healthy attitude and good communication will do. Sure build the house and make it look nice, but create a home inside that someone would want to stay in.

Yes, in moderation. You don't wanna be like the hulk but being cut and having that lean muscled look is gonna obviously help you land higher caliber girls.
