A friend of mine recently did the GS diet and got down to like 6% bf. I was like thats great man when I seen him and the pictures he posted on jp. I was telling my father in law and showed him the pics. There were pics at 12,10, and 6%. He threw in the usual, I dont think you should look like that. I like this one better (12%). You're good the way you are.

Well thats your opinion. I know where I want to be, and noone will stop me.

Hmm, well I'm a girl, and I do care what I guy looks like. A lot. Sure he can be cinfident and all of that, but if he doesn't fall under my definition of attractive, he won't cut it. Plain and simple. Call me superficial, but a lot of attraction is physical for me. I'll be the first to say that personality isn't everything. It will probably change once I get older, but with these teenage hormones raging, physical attraction is almost everything.

The people that say looks don't matter are the people who WISH looks didn't matter

For me, I still get the occasional " Did you go Anorexic?" But I think it's just the shock of friends one day seeing me as a fatty, and when school started I got pretty lean. And some closer friends joke around calling me bulimic, but they are just joking and i just laugh it off.

Though my Mom thought I was becoming sick losing so much weight and she scheduled a doctor's appointment, after the doctor told her i was healthy she stopped worrying..

:yelrotflmao: It is amazing people think that way. :yelrotflmao:

I remember the very day I realized that girls don't care what you look like.

I was in Chicago, my training partner and I were in the Junior Worlds bench press contest.

Anthony Clark did an exhibition lift. He reverse grip bench pressed 735lbs. For 3 reps.

Anyone who has seen Anthony Clark knows that he is not exactly the specimen of the perfect physique. Then my training partner and I saw his girlfriend. A BANGIN' HOT fitness model.

And it hit me. If you are a strong person with a strong personality. Women love it. It matters not what you look like.

After that my confidence with the ladies went up and so did the "results"

experienced the same thing with the confidence Most important thing is, when you make a move on a woman, you have to be indifferent to the outcome. Alot of people (specially women ) always bash me for that one, but it works and it's true. If you're afraid and think your world will fall apart if you're rejected, you are going to get rejected
Confidence and having the right mindset is everything.

lol

how true, but I wouldn't say looks are everything. Important, yes. But I wouldnt' be with a knockout fox of a woman who had no personality and only looked out for herself. It just wouldn't make sense. You also have to look at other compatibility factors.

I'm in highschool and since I started my 3rd year in september I have been getting comments on how muscular I am now. I use to be the really weak and skinny guy that use to get picked on a lot. Well lets just say no one has laid a hand on me or called me names since I started lifting in the summer and became one of the more muscular kids in my grade.

I have never really been told to stop going to the gym or anything like that. I have been called fat something cause I can eat an enormous amount of food at lunch but I don't mind that cause I know the food I'm eating is just going to make me bigger and stronger.

and the people who say that looks matter alot are people who have nothing else to run on

I for one, am the sexiest person I have ever met, but I don't think looks are all that matters

(and hold the "you can't have met many people then" etc jokes, as they are really to predictable )

I don't think they matter alot, but I do think they are important. You can't have a physical relationship if you don't feel atleast one type of attraction toward one another.

There will always be some people who feel this way, and those people are going to end up miserable when you're 50.

When I say physical attraction is almost everything, I don't mean for real committed relationships. I just mean for dating material. When I decide I'm ready to get married I, need to find someone who is supportive, responsible and mature, physical attraction is secondary. Yes it helps a lot if the guy is attractive and takes good care of his body, but if he can't treat me with respect or bring in an equal amount of money, all the looks in the world won't save him.

I was talking about that initial attraction. That thing that makes you WANT to get to know someone better. I go for guys who are hot. Now finding, a hot guy who also has the personality that's the tough part.

spicypumpkin - it is good that you clarified. Since girls who believe.

physical attraction is almost everything.

Get taken advantage of A LOT. Of course you will learn that in the first few months of college.

 

[spicypumpkin]

Read my post prior to this one, and you will get an explanation. I don't just go out with people because they are attractive. If their personality doesn't fit the bill, they are useless.

Beautiful Women prefer Ugly Men?

"And it hit me. If you are a strong person with a strong personality. Women love it. It matters not what you look like."

This is such a frustrating reality : Men are people with personailties. Women are things that need to be beautiful. I do argree that you can find someone attractive who may not fit the beauty norm. And I am female! Can men do the same? I married a smoking hot, younger, sweet guy: who is a tad cuter that me. (me-thinks there is something to that personailty theory?)

Tell me- would you love a woman who is a strong person with a strong personality-regardless of what she looks like? Why not? Why does your particular female partner acccpet this? What is the deeper issue going on here?

Strong women who have "personality" who are in shape, like strong men with "personality", who are in shape. Dude, as women gain their space and power in the world , the likes of you are a dying breed. THANK GOD! and I am athieist.

I find it interesting. As a society, we've grown to accept that people are overweight. Heck, you see it everywhere, so it's becoming more socially acceptable to look overweight, than it is being fit. As a matter of fact, coming to think about it, being fit is more of a chore than an actual "being." So in other words, the social norm is that being overweight is normal, and being anything else is just not normal.

There was actually a research article on this subject.

Last July, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article "The Spread of Obesity in a Large Social Network over 32 Years" by Christakis and Fowler.

A person's chances of becoming obese increased by 57% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6 to 123) if he or she had a friend who became obese in a given interval. Among pairs of adult siblings, if one sibling became obese, the chance that the other would become obese increased by 40% (95% CI, 21 to 60). If one spouse became obese, the likelihood that the other spouse would become obese increased by 37% (95% CI, 7 to 73). [...]

Network phenomena appear to be relevant to the biologic and behavioral trait of obesity, and obesity appears to spread through social ties.
