Over the last three years - though mostly in the first year -

It's all about the confidence it brings, and yeah you will obviously look better which is going to help with attraction. So yeah you can start lifting, hop on a routine like starting strength and milk your newbie gains as much as possible.

>>17731170

Got nothing to lose I guess.

>>17731190

Exactly, and you get a new hobby out of it, with tonnes of health benefits.

If you plan to lift solely to get pussy, it's not going to work when you spill moms spaghetti when a girl enters your hemisphere of 20 feet.

I'm not that awkward anymore since I lost weight. I actually can handle girls and talk to them. Problem is, I'm not Chad McRippedbody so most of them are only interested in me for friendship because they like talking to me and hanging out. But it always seems they still want to fuck assholes with shit personalities who lift.

So when I lift I must have good personality AND good body and get all the grilles.

>>17731219
Or just quit being a bitch and develop the good personality without depending on a external factor.

Just stop being a fag and make it clear that you're approaching with the attention of filling their asshole later down the line.

>Over the last three years - though mostly in the first year - I lost a lot of weight. Like, 30 kilograms.
First of all, congratulations, I know it wasn't easy; I started at 270 pds (122ish kilo) dropped to 170, and then gained 20 pds of muscle.

You showed some serious discipline to achieve what you have, keep it the fuck up, and know that almost everyone who sets out to do what you have done fails, but not you, you're the carp that made it up the waterfall, motherfucker.

What I'm saying is, be proud.

>but about to lose that also
Kudos on speaking with conviction, none of this "I'm going to try to" crap.

Mostly bringing this up for any other anons trying to lose weight/achieve something difficult; don't speak in a way that gives you an out, it just puts you in the mindset that failure is an option, Yoda had this right.

>But still, besides the ocassional ONS and getting dates with grilles I seem to still have a hard time getting them.
You're new to this, give it time. Besides, courtship is a weird game, a girl can decide she's not into you for any number of reasons, doesn't really reflect poorly on you.

I've slept with over 100 women, and that's where I stopped counting, I'm probably close to 200 now, and I only end up bedding roughly 1 out of every 5 girls I approach, that's pretty typical, but my numbers are high because I approach so many; if I think a girl is cute, I'm probably going to talk to her.

Sometimes she has a boyfriend, sometimes she's too caught up on something, sometimes she's just not into me, sometimes I decide I'm just not into her, and yes, sometimes I even spaghetti.

But I don't care, because there's literally billions where she came from, and even if I don't fuck her, I put myself out there and meet people.

I've also hooked up with a lot of girls who I met through girls that weren't into me but still liked me because of my personality, that I wasn't a creep, and didn't take rejection personally. Networking ftw.

>I almost get no tinder matches
Take heart in the fact you get any matches (you're not swiping right on uggos or fatties, are you?) because Tinder is full of thirsty guys, the girls have their pick of the litter.

On Tinder, 5% of the guys get 99% of the action. That's just the nature of the beast. Don't get too caught up on online dating, I've honestly cut it out of my life completely, I was having some "success" with Tinder but most of the girls you'll meet online that aren't ugly will be crazy.

Cute girls that aren't loaded with baggage don't have to resort to online dating, so they generally don't.

Exceptions exist, but I find going out with friends and approaching girls in the wild to be so much more fulfilling.

>So I wanted to know of you, /adv/ if that shit works, or is it just a meme from /fit/, and even when I lift I wont get more pussy?
Yes it works, you'll look better and become more confident, besides there's tons of health benefits.

There's two excellent, proven, beginner routines. I started lifting with the Reg Park routine, and can personally vouch for it, plus he's the guy who trained Arnold.

Eventually you'll want to transition into a push/pull/legs (PPL) split, but take that first step.

Also, consider taking up yoga, mixed martial arts, or both.

People laugh, but DDP yoga is fucking legit.

I hit the gym Mon/Wed/Fri, do Muay Thai/BJJ Monday through Friday, and I do yoga every morning.

It's done wonders for my aesthetics, flexibility, and mood.

>>17731254

Well, thanks for the kind words, and I hope it'll work out for me. But yeah, it seems I've become a better person already and that feels good enough so far from time to time.

>tfw my 28 year old brother who is a virgin is dating an asexual

MAKE IT STOP

>>17731504

Maybe he's also asexual?

>>17731559
He has 20 pages of gelbooru up daily with porn. Don't think so.

>pic unrelated but more interesting than actual post
Anyway, do asexual people *really* exist? Or are they just either lying to themselves, the world, or both?

>>17731575
both

>>17731575
>Do women who will reap all the emotional and financial support of a relationship whilst never giving up any ass exist?
Gee, I wonder.

>>17731504
Lmao, I guarantee his "gf" is getting more play on the side than a ping pong table at a Merle Haggard concert.

>>17731230
External factors are something you have to take into account. Most women won't go out with you just because you have good personality. In the end, it all boils down to looks, wealth and wit.

I wouldn't doubt it. She sounds disgruntled with him everytime we're in voice call.
