Is lifting weights futile if it's all about the face? Am I being meme'd hard?
I lift for women, I think the majority of people here do, even other women. I'm doing it mainly to attract qts but I also love the feeling of lifting, getting stronger, progress, health benefits, etc.
My big question is, is lifting for women stupid? Should I just delete it from my head and lift for something else? Maybe it happens by itself over time.
Also, is 250 calories over maintenances sufficient for a lean bulk?
>thinks the majority of people lift for girls
Once you've actually lifted for more than 2 weeks you'll realize that women are degenerates and you really just lift to be better than everyone else
You may start exercising for women but you keep at it for yourself or you will eventually fail.
Lifting for women is stupid.
The reason is because if you need the motivation of pussy to go to the gym, you're going to reach a point where you start getting it, get satiated, and then it won't be as motivating anymore. I often think that most of the guys who lift exclusively for women are guys who aren't meeting any. It's not that I'm going to trash on you for getting healthy because that's a good thing in and of itself, but doing it just for sex is lame.
It's not hard to go out and get laid. Put on a polo shirt, nice jeans, shave, get a hair cut, shower, and go to a bar with people your age and be friendly. If you want to put in even less effort, put up an ad on craigslist and someone will probably let you fuck their wife on the reg if you're not completely autistic.
That being said, when you start getting laid consistently, it's not going to be this nagging motivator anymore. A lot of people's perceptions about sex as a self-validating thing is more important to them than the act of actually doing it (case in point, Elliot Roger).
Moreover, you're going to be spending time with this girl / girls, at which point you'll probably stop going to the gym
>Also, is 250 calories over maintenances sufficient for a lean bulk?
If it's clean it can be contingent on how long you want to wait, but honestly the "bulk / cut" thing isn't necessary for most people who are getting into lifting.
Basically what this user said without the /r9k/ part, once you lift for enough time it becomes something you do for your own good, doing anything for anyone else is a good way of wasting your life and accumulating regrets. If you're one of those virgin anons that put pussy on a pedestal I suggest hiring a clean and expensive hooker. Tell her you're a virgin and she will probably be as kind as she can with you making the whole thing very pleasant.Then you will realize that sex is not that big of a deal and you don't have to be a mindless zombie licking the shoes of every attractive girl you see in the streets.
This is probably one of the wisest things I've read on Veeky Forums.

So no one is gonna ask for the source on this chick?
>Start lifting for women
>Get disappointed by women
>See the light and start lifting for myself
What were your expectations? Serious.
Getting a nice-looking 5/10+ girl who was actually into me and not inclined to cheat/etc.
>If you're one of those virgin anons that put pussy on a pedestal I suggest hiring a clean and expensive hooker.
This is bad advice. What you don't understand is that anyone can hire a hooker, the issue with virgin anons is that they can't get a girl on their own, like most normal people.
I lift to just be better than all the weak-willed peasants around me, and if the aesthetics and confidence help smash more that's a nice bonus.
I lift to be healthy and healthy looking. Anyone who says women isn't a factor is delusional, or gay. It shouldn't be your #1 motivation unless you're a model, stripper, or pornstar or some shit.
In fact, when it comes to building muscle mass I prefer high frequency, dense muscles instead of clunky big muscles people get for looks. Only bitches care about their looks this much. It helps because my muscles are so well conditioned and dense that any faggot fixin to strut will underestimate me and have a nice suprise when I throw out the 100 hand slap like fucking e honda and not even break a sweat.
At the end of the day its all mostly about preference. I enjoy health (straight men) and others enjoy looks (closet homos).
I lift for women fulky knowing that they don't care much.
>anyone who doesn't have the same reasons for doings things as me is a homo
>calls himself a man
for shame
This is unbelievably true. I started lifting cause I was senior in high school virgin. Finally lost my virginity and realized puss is good but nothing to lose sleep over. After that I realized I really just enjoy lifting and want to be the best I can.
I tried to contain myself but I couldn't. This concept needs to be understood. When you're flexing your 'ceps in the mirror and doing your hair with gel you're acting just like a women putting on her makeup and cute outfit. Man up you single mother raised cucks. This world needs masculinity now more than ever.
When I call you a faggot I mean it out of love (no homo). I just want you to see the error of your ways. Not you who I'm replying to personally, just in general.
I know this feeling man, I started lifting after coming out of a serious bout of depression 4 years ago and the main reason behind that was to improve myself and get a gf because i'd never had a gf for more than one month before that but I found that 90% of the women you attract when you look like you lift are shallow airheads, now I've found a girl finally who i've been with for 2 years now who 100% gets me and she doesn't care about gains etc.
I see your opinion's correctness, but I'm going to aim for it anyways.
I want that one amazing picture of me flexing, even if it is just to say that "I've been there, and done that"
Why do you live? If you lift for women, you live for women and women are your top priority. That's pathetic.
I started lifting two years after I got with my girlfriend. She doesn't seem to give a single shit about my gains.
Most girls go for someone who is well-presented, funny and not poor. They generally don't care about your physique as long as it's not terrible.
In some cultures putting on make up , decorating yourself, and dancing around to attract a mate is what's considered masculine. There is no biological masculine in the way you seem to think, it's just a social construct that changes based on location/culture; you cannot say one is right or wrong way to be masculine.
Stop concentrating on trying to be your own biases idea of masculinity and just be a good person instead. So something because it's the right thing to Do, not because penis. Not enough people do the right human thing to do now a days- that's the real problem

He's saying that so that they realize virginity isn't a big deal. It's overrated.
>doing anything for anyone else is a good way of wasting your life and accumulating regrets
Absolute truth. I will actually nail this quote on my wall.
Nothing wrong with trying to be attractive desu
bodybuilding lifestyle can lower your bodyfat and give you a thick muscluar neck, thus improving your face.
>give up on the girl I started lifting for and invite plan B on a date.
>Oneitis restart snapchating
What the actual fuck. Its some black magic.
After being cured of Oneitis syndrome for years, i met a girl that i am hooked on, feelsbadman. Good news is i know she likes me but she just got out of a 1.5 year relationship so ima see where it goes.
>put up an ad on craigslist and someone will probably let you fuck their wife on the reg
>if you're not completely autistic
aw so close
>tfw you have a good face
>tfw you started lifting to unleash your facial aesthetics at a low bf%
18-20% currently, getting there
>Oneitis at work.
>Get a chance to fuck plan b who also works with me.
>Fucked her in the morning,go to work that afternoon.
>Oneitis makes a pass at me in the breakroom just us two alone.
>Literally walk out the breakroom without saying anything.
The world is cruel user.
Is there something wrong with my brain to not feel this feel? I lifted for about six months and quit because it hurts, like how a babby learns to stop touching a hot stove. Now I'm flabby and get the same amount of girls as before, but I still don't feel like bettering myself or whatever all you guys claim to feel
>tfw good face but skelly mode
>tfw if i get big i will drown in pussy
its true right?
Chase a check never chase a bitch
w-we're all gonna make it
It sure is user. My oneitis is strong but my loneliness is worst.
>We were supposed to be together this summer
