This. I get about 2/3 hours in and lose my charm - like I'm mentally exhausted and can't be cool anymore.

Polite self-sage because this is not /lit.

>guy with clearly developed musculature and who is clearly lean
do you even lift bro? he could get that physique staying home dong pushups and pullups and never go outside.

well if the club scene isn't your thing maybe you could lose your fedora and go to a church or something, if you're not a chad why are you chasing stacies

who said anything about lifting faggot, the kind of lean muscle chicks actually like, as opposed to the homoerotic virgins and powerbottoms on Veeky Forums who glorify roid bulk, doesn't require any kind of lifting

>doesn't require any kind of lifting
Too bad it still requires actual effort... :(

Fuck that article for taunting me

i'm in better shape than you, fuck off with your bulky gas-out-in-the-first round beach muscles ass

Stay lost

How many girls did you actually talk to?

What women say they want and what they want are two entirely different things. Just look at social gatherings, who has an easy time befriending many people, who like people to surround themselves with?

The only thing women value about twinkish, introverted guys is they make better providers for the woman's child

Although male masculinity is associated with health benefits, it is also associated with negative personality traits and behaviors. For example, high-testosterone men are less likely to marry, more likely to divorce and have more marital problems than lower testosterone men (Booth & Dabbs, 1993).
Men with higher testosterone are also less likely to feel a need to respond to infant cries than men with lower testosterone (Fleming, Corter, Stallings & Steiner, 2002). Masculine male faces are also ascribed antisocial traits, such as low warmth, low emotionality, dishonesty, low cooperativeness and poor quality as a parent (Boothroyd, Jones, Burt & Perrett, 2007; Perrett et al., 1998). Masculine men are also perceived to have more interest in short-term than in long-term relationships (Kruger, 2006), and masculine men have more short-term, but not long-term, partners than feminine men do (Rhodes, Simmons & Peters, 2005).
Attraction to masculinity is a function of the tradeoffs between the benefits of greater genetic health and the costs of lower investment in relationships and children (Fink & Penton-Voak, 2002; Gangestad & Simpson, 2000; Little, Jones, Penton-Voak, Burt & Perrett, 2002).
Factors that affect the relative importance of these costs and benefits affect this tradeoff. For example, the benefits of genetic health for offspring can only be attained when women are able to conceive and preferences for masculine traits are accordingly greater when conception risk is high (for reviews, see Fink & Penton-Voak, 2002; Gangestad & Simpson, 2000; Gangestad & Thornhill, 2008; Jones et al., 2008). Additionally, the paternal investment costs associated with partnering with a masculine man are less important in short-term relationships than in long-term relationships. Accordingly, women prefer more masculine men for short-term than for long-term relationships (Burt et al., 2007; Little et al., 2002; Little, Cohen, Jones & Belsky, 2007
