Super braindead take, men exercise for their own health and confidence. In the same way that women wear makeup, it may help attracting the opposite sex but we do it for ourselves. Also exercise is one of the most direct mechanisms for self improvement regardless of gender.
Yea I think a lot of men initially get into exercise to attract women but the ones that really stick with it end up doing it for themselves after they realize how much better they feel, both physically and mentally. Of course there will always be people who do things for different reasons but in general this has been my experience.
It can be for women but attract women for unintended reasons. Confidence is attractive and if they get confidence through gaining muscle it still works.
I’m 39. These days I explicitly work out to be in good shape for sex. I want to look good when I pop the top, and attracting partners is a core goal of mine.
I’ve never in my life been hurting for confidence, and was confident when I was 40 lbs heavier - I just looked worse with my shirt off.
If you’re chasing low-commitment sex, at some point your physical attractiveness does indeed matter.
That’s fair but from the people I speak to, who exercise consistently, they do it for themselves primarily. I don’t know many people who exercise exclusively to attract women and not also enjoy being in shape just for themselves whether its to feel good, or be more confident.
Personally I do cardio, not because of attracting someone but because I literally feel so much better on a daily basis when I do. My sleep is better, I have more energry, etc.
It’s good to learn about some cultural differences, for both me and you. In Poland, Santa is believed to bring the naughty kids bundles of rods (as in, leafless twigs). We call that “rózga”, even though the same word can just refer to a single rod as well.
In my case it’s more like, “You’re so clumsy you’re probably gonna chop your finger off. Look at you, I bet you will. Try and get real close to it like you’re chopping veggies without chopping your finger off. Bet you can’t. You probably can’t clean the blade real fast on the sharp side because you’ll chop your finger off. Pussy.”
The problem these days is everyone is self centered and unwilling to work hard. I see lots of complaints about how the world has been unfair but in reality we are unfair to each other.
People have been saying that same dumbass shit for thousands of years, here’s idiotic headlines from the last 150 showing you that every generation has said the same damn thing, and has been wrong every time:
The problem these days is everyone is self centered and unwilling to work hard

but in reality we are unfair to each other.
The last part of your sentence is correct. So maybe the reason everyone is “unwilling” to work is actually because they are unwilling to be exploited. Considering how capitalism utterly failed to regulate the market and wages are still piss poor despite every CEO and their henchmen crying about the labour shortage, when according to capitalist theory the solution should have been to immediately raise wages as the low supply and high demand of labour necessitates higher prices. That’s the excuse they give us when they jack up the prices on food and basic supplies yet they reject the same logic when applied to workers.
