There should always be a philosophical element added to any physical regimen. It’s what helps you STAY in shape.

@AllEyez the gym is the most important because as a man you gain confidence when you feel manly after you have worked out. Those meatheads who stay in the gym are addicted to that high. Confidence gained from the gym helps u approach women in a confident manner
Working out also gives you that masculine energy that attracts women. Dont underestimate the gym

And before Captain obvious points it out, yes I'm aware hitting the gym is personal developmentbut that's not the type of personal development we're talking about...
So let's not focus too much on the gym part, that was just to catch your attention. But lately I been thinking, maybe I'm the one with the issues and the problems. After my last relationship, even though my ex is in fact a crazy ass bytch... There's gotta be something I'm doing (or not doing) that attracts these women. And as much as every coli breh says "hit the gym, hit the weights"... Your physique can change, but that doesn't mean anything to most women.
Without dragging this out, I'm a very introverted asocial dude, but learning better communication skills, conversational skills, techniques for different scenarios, masterminding certain situations, how to react and behave in certain instances.... These are the things that matter the most. Being social, meeting the right people, having personality that attracts the right people. There's so many personal development courses and videos online alone for free. If you can matter socialization , you can master your life and the people around you.
Where are said videos?
Congrats breh, keep grinding
Quick tip: You need to incorporate some resistance training into your program otherwise you'll end up with the dreaded skinny-fat physique... It's horrible.
You're burning a lot of muscle if you're cutting and not lifting weights at the same time.
Nah I think it's the fact that due to him being a loner, he just takes whoever shows him interest, without using a filter.
@AllEyez am I right?

You need to hang around the people you want to be like. You absorb the energy of the people you spend time with. If you're introverted and asocial you need to hang around charismatic people. You'll notice that the people you want to be like don't tolerate messy hoes. You will level up your selection of females naturally once you start viewing yourself differently.
There's some truth to what you're saying but you're taking it to an extreme. There are loads of narcissists as well as some insecure dudes who are trying to inflate their egos by increasing their muscle mass in the gym, but that does not mean that training to stay fit and look good is problematic in and of itself.
The "sport" of bodybuilding (it's more like a pageant than anything) is very problematic though. But most people who train aren't doing it to compete or stunt on the gram.
I've seen the same types in boxing gyms FYI.. The showboats, those who train to learn how to overpower ppl etc.. they're not all on some hippy kumbaya shyt
I don't think he knows what he is talking about. Improving your overall strength is very useful in real life. You use your physical strength everyday. You're not out here trying to box and fight dudes on a daily basis, so lifting heavy weights is more useful day-to-day than boxing

Lol what gym was that in? Because you can't do that in boxing gyms. People like that get found out quick and will get put in the ring with someone much smaller and more experienced and they destroy them so bad they either quit all that bully nonsense or never come back to the gym again. Boxing gyms aren't like that where you can bully people

Life's all about what you make out of it and, one thing that's underrated is the fact that we create our own reality most of the time (although I also believe destiny also plays a huge role in what manifests in the physical realm).
I honestly don't think you're the one attracting these crazy bytches. A lot of women these days are just bat shyt crazy. I don't know if it's due to the bad experiences they had in the past, social media age and the faux reality it created, and/or more people just being mentally unstable in the world...just know you're not the only one dealing with crazy women. So you don't need to change who you're, you basically just need to improve on some of your flaws and you're gucci.
That said, gym does help in personal development but it all depends on your motive. The gym is a great place to socialize, meet like minded people, and improve your social skills if that's your motive. In my own case: I started going to gym regularly because my head was all over the place, I had anger problems, and I was addicted to gambling. So the motive was me looking for a place to find solace and expend the excessive testosterone. And also a way to transfer the addiction to gambling, into something more productive. And looking back now, I think I made the right choice due to the following:
- I'm not as angry as I used to be and that's evident in the fact that I've been sucker free for more than 3 years now. And the only place I get into unnecessary arguments with people is on the internet and that's because most of the people on the internet are obsessed losers and keyboard warriors.
- I'm more focused than I've ever been in my life because of the discipline/dedication I subconsciously gained from the gym. It does take a lot of discipline to wake up everyday and go somewhere to strain your muscles and sweat profusely without getting paid for it.
- I don't gamble like I used to do and even when I do sometimes, it's always some expendable coins.
I knew it couldn't only be me dealing with this lol.
fixed and yeah.
