Search Results: going on a diet

I’m 41 and I’m still in excellent shape. Reason being I exercise daily and I usually stick to a very healthy diet.

Anyway I became more self conscious about not showing my body off in pics or in public by my mid 30s. I don’t really feel comfortable going shirtless even at a beach/pool.

I do have one shirtless pic showing my abs off but it’s never something I will show a woman right away. I usually will show it once if she shows me a few suggestive pics (I don’t like nudes tbh but it’s nice to see what kind of body she has). Definitely not something I keep on social media though

Anyway I am well aware of the “creep” element guys my age have to watch out for. We got a lot less leeway vs guys in their early 20s on all of this.

But at the same time I’m wondering if I’m sometimes shortchanging myself by keeping an attractive asset I still have hidden. Is there a way to let a woman know about this without looking immature/creepy?

And yes I am well aware how women care about personality, drive, humor, money etc. Don’t need a lecture of on that. But this is one thing that can make me go from a 7 to an 8 on a pure physical attraction scale. But if done wrong it can look very bad.

Today I went to Vons and after I grabbed mostly fruits and vegetables (and some keto snacks and meat on the side) I saw these two young-adult women roaming around the store and I said excuse me as I was going to pass by them but I actually approached them and asked them if they have heard about the keto said. One of the girls said no and I said you should go check it out; I said they should try it out, it's a way to cut carbs and I have some bad habits to move away from. I gave both of them the page and the other girl took a picture of my account on her phone and I also asked if they got iPhone 13s and they said yeah and I said me too!

This is what my profile looks like:

Not only is the profile about keto diets but also about Middle Eastern and Eastern European cuisines, as well as fitness. As I left their spot I heard them laughing (presumably at the way I posted things on my TikTok). Sadly even after those few hours of being in the store they never hit the follow or like on anything related to my TikTok.

I have a feeling the White and Latina girls in Los Angeles are racist against my kind (Arabs).

Basically, I've always been a heavier lad and have recently started dieting a bit to lose some weight. But now I want to try and find out what would both aesthetically & medically be the most ideal weight for me to aim for.

I cannot provide you with pictures of me unfortunately, thus try to use your imagination and perhaps your experience with friends & family members of my height. Due to my very busy life, and also a genuine lack of interest of going to the gym and get muscles, BMI will be rather applicable for me. Thus assume that body fat and muscle mass is evenly distributed. I will poll the healthy range only of the BMI for obvious reasons.

My body type is average I guess
