Many fat people are married or have girlfriends. The trick isn't to be the best looking, it's to engage women and make them feel good whilst in your presence.

This can come in the form of validation by dating a /fit/ dude or it can come by funny jokes, money security and non-judgement

There are a few things that you must have to get a gf though

>The balls to approach her and show intent
>the money or the social skills to make her happy in your presence

I'm going to be 32 next month. I've been rejected by every woman I've asked out.

That said, there are married fat men. Of course it's possible.

I've had so many opportunities to get laid, but cause I'm a virgin I choke and don't go through with it.
Eg.
>Talking to girl, Being myself, cracking wise
>She's laughing at my jokes, making suggestive ones of her own
>Putting her hand on my forearm everytime she laughs
>Slow song comes on and she grabs my hand and tries to pull me up to dance
>Lie and say I'm too drunk to stand
>She is visually disapponted and walks away
>Didn't see her for the rest of the night

How can I stop being so anxious in these sitiuations?

>finish college
>get job making 40k a year
>save for half a year
>plastic surgery
>become male model/chad

?

Depends on your athletic goals, e.g. I train for soccer so I need to have explosive speed and enough muscle to hold off a player but not so much I sacrifice agility or endurance.

>>42709328

Athlete is a really broad term considering each sport has you train differently.

For flexibility (balance) calisthenics and gymnastics are your best bet

>how did i gain so much muscle just by doing bodyweight exercises

because you're the result of several generations of slave breeding

but it does seem insightful, thanks for the recommendation.

>>42709353

what sort of workouts do you do for speed and agility?

>>42709327
>first i wanted to get to a healthy weight
>then i wanted to get huge and strong
>now i just lift because i love it

>>42709327
>Started to get over an ex
>Kept going to get stronger for HS wrestling
>Now I just wanna be big and strong & I love it

Why do you expect to lose fat? Did you read the sticky? You're eating at a surplus.

Oh I forgot to ask my question. Can I go on a fast without losing muscle? Also what is the best way to curb my appetite.

My arms are getting huge, but my face and gut are very fat. I do my abs on leg day, should I just run more or what?

>>42709305
yes

>>42708831

Yes do some faster workouts

An 8 minute mile is fucking pathetic. If you're running even a couple miles a week, you'd almost certainly destroy that time. You're running 20 miles a week though, this basically shouldn't even be a question whether or not you're going to win.

That said, 27 minutes for a 5k is surprisingly slow for someone who supposedly runs 20 miles a week. You sure you're being honest with us with your activity OP? Regardless though, unless your friend maintains an 8 minute per mile time for the entire 5K, your current 27 minutes will still probably beat him.

>>42709522
I'm assuming the reason I'm slow for the mileage is because of my weight vs. my height and my lack of focus on speed work.

I've spent a fair while trying to build up an aerobic base because my intention was to focus on distances much further than the 5k.

Since my friend wants to race me (rather said that he thought he could roast me in a 3 mile run), I figured I would change my focus temporarily and try to get my 5K time down. I thought I should have a good enough aerobic base to hop on a 5-6 week 5K intermediate program and get close to 25 minutes.

I did some reading because of the lack of responses and I am going to do a program that focuses on a 5 day a week schedule that has some hill repeats/tempo runs/intervals, along with a longer run (6-7 miles) to get me up to the speed I feel like will easily dispatch of him.

Plus if I win I get monies.

Not bad you just wont be able to eat as much

Well, having your blood pressure rise into the sky is normal when lifting heavy shit, especially on deads. Same with heart rate. Like, some people can get to 200 bpm during exceptionally heavy deadlifts. I am talking like, 1000 pounds deadlifts and shit. Its normal.
