No, you lift to get big muscles and attract females you can bang.

I lift to pick heavy thing up

I lift for health, especially the mental health part.

how is that not better

Okay, but I'm happily married so that throws your claim out the window.

Let's talk about lifting for girls from a little different angle than usually. When one says he lifts for girls, usually two possible scenarios come to mind. The first one is that the man is someone who is not desired among girls due to the lack of qualities deemed desirable by them. The guy is compensating his shortcomings in other areas like confidence, by bettering himself in at least in this one field. A guy like this is desperate to get a gf. The other scenario is a player, who is simply trying to get laid, and doesn't care for long relationships. The girls he's after are easy, and being buff makes them easier.

Now let's talk about the third option. This kind of man doesn't lift so that some girl - any girl - would finally accept him, nor does he want to impress shallow sluts to bang them. The third man can see his ideal woman in his mind. He wants her, but he also understands that in life you only get what you deserve. The ideal woman has the image of the ideal man on her mind, so she is not going to accept just any man. People tend to date people who are one the same "level" as them: a fit woman wants a fit man, and vice versa. The man understands that in order to deserve his ideal woman, he must become her ideal man. Because he wants a fit woman, he must become fit himself, and this goes for other areas in life as well.

So the third man starts bettering himself. Not solely for the reason of getting a high-class woman, but it is one of the reasons. As he becomes better and better, the woman he is deserving of also gets more high-class.

Some day the man and the woman will meet. Both of them have been concentrating on becoming as good as they possibly can, and when they get together, they have both gotten a partner that is better than the one they would have gotten before starting the journey towards their highest potential. Both of them will be happier, and they will thrive together.

One of the main reasons I lift, is that I want a fit wife.
