i think being fit and physically strong as a man is worth the effort and discipline. in the back of my mind when i feel intimidated by some extremely erudite wimp or fatass i remember he cant climb a mountain, he's never felt the confidence of walking into a room and being stared at by the women, sometimes even just climbing his stairs is an ordeal. he might annhiliate me in a battle of wits but deep down he knows how pathetic it is.

It's fine, and obviously being fit is a good thing. But they're pretty deluded, thinking that everyone should make fitness a priority. It's fine not to care. Women aren't only attracted to strong men: a skinny guy with a nice face is better off than a fit guy with an ugly face most of the time. Most middle class people don't need to worry about getting in fights. Strength is not necessary to most people's jobs. Most people don't care about physical strength as a value in itself.

People have a stupid tendency to make whatever they care about or are good at the value on which they base everyone's worth. Especially on 4chan.

I think striving for physical excellence can be a great thing, but I don't like contemporary body building and gymrat culture as an expression of it and I think /fit/ has too much of the latter.

All the based Greeks stressed practising your body and mind.

/fit/ is a pretty superficial board, but the people there are doing something productive with their lives - which makes it better than a lot of other blue boards which attract the more pathetic /r9k/ archetypes.

Once I got /fit/ it became a pretty worthless board. After 3 years I couldnt even relate to 5/6 of the content because people were asking how long it takes to bench 1.5pl8, and the other half are throwing out claims to 4pl8 bench which are likely lies. I dont compete or roid so /plg/ /fraud/ and /owg/ are useless. I find that ive stopped using it completely except for fat hate threads, because the images make me laugh

Some physical exercise is conductive to excel intellectually, but not excessively. People who are really dedicated to pushing themselves physically don't have the time nor the energy to excel intellectually and the other way around it's the same.

So it depends on what you mean by peak physical capacity. If you mean being the healthiest you can, sure, but what passes for 'fitness' these days is more abusing your body to live up to some arbitrary ideal at the expense of your health rather than in service of it.

You can also work on something else and get more bitches than the fittest guy on earth. Women primarily care about social status above all other things. I bet a lot of bulky losers thought "I-i could beat him up though' when Mick Jagger's skinny ugly ass walked into a room and took away all the bitches in five seconds flat.

I'd also add that working on being successful is substantially more interesting than working on being fit. Exercises is maturbation compared to actual accomplishments.

True, especially since looking fit by female standards means a few half-hearted gym visits a week and a reasonable diet.
