Why is it wrong to lift for women ?

It's not. Anyone who says otherwise is a faggot. Just because they lack the dedication and motivation to do it they decide to shit all over it. Even if lifting doesn't get you pussy it will take you to a better place in your life. Then maybe when you're at that better place you can start getting pussy.

Lifting =/= getting girls but being a better you = getting girls. Someone who is in good shape takes care of themselves and that takes time and work. People who aren't faggots will respect you for that.

There's nothing terrible about it but doing anything for the purpose of getting women cheapens the activity

Imagine if Phelps was just doing it for Olympic pussy

Body builders see lifting as more than just a means to get women
They do it for the feelings they get after a good set. That's what keeps you going to the gym, not some ho

Who told you this?

Lifting is good in itself
Any other objectives are secondary

What's your diddly max?

I'm honestly lifting weights, walking more and eating healthier because I really do want to get girls.

Strength is not only about psyiche but having strong ideas and being secure in your self.

not at all, as a previous poster said its about becoming a better you. im very lucky i started lifting seriously when i just turned 16, i was a neet before that played games all say etc. im 18 now and made insane gains cause i got obsessed with it, i dont need motivation anymore because its just a part of my life at this point.

a year and a half after i started i lost my virginity and people respect me a lot more because i wctually do something now lol.

from going to no sexual experience besides random hookups, i fucked a 9/10 multiple times, prob helps i was the biggest kid in my grade lol

>just to get women
Because once you get a woman, you'll stop lifting. You need to lift for yourself first and foremost.

This is actually a good answer and a direct answer to the question.

>They decide to shit all over it
Saying that lifting just to get women to like you isn't a good idea is not "shitting all over it".

>>17870431

it's because you have to improve for yourself. If you motivate yourself for others, it just makes it all the easier to break you.

The novelty of women wears off after you get with a few women.

They Fitness becomes more about you, doing it for your own well being and shit.

Getting pussy isnt a big deal if you're already confident in yourself, its only a big dead if you lack confidence because its an ego boost

But the OP didn't ask about lifting being bad, he asked why people say you should "lift for yourself, not for others".

Would you continue exercising if (Becky, my future wife, but she doesn't know it yet) rejected you and your new body?

It's not bad to motivate yourself with a goal like this, but it's bad to give up on health & exercise if your goal doesn't work out

>>17870431
Because, and this is true of everything, you should eventually be doing it for yourself.

If you really don't care then don't do it. Life's to short to spend it trying to appeal to randoms.
