Men look for the things that make a woman unique. Women look for the things that make a man better.

No amount of work can really make you more like his ideal woman. And no amount of work can make you better than every man she meets.

It sucks from both sides. The best you can hope for is that you both value intimacy, which only comes from companionship and mutual trust, more than passion, which one tends to get in abundance only at the start of a relationship. People who will give up the former for the latter are not worth investing time and effort into, though they are well worth casual interest.

Someone might have already stated it, but I can't be arsed to read the thread, so:

Contrary to popular belief being muscular doesn't make you fit in the evolutionary sense.
Muscles are sinkholes of energy. Your body is always trying to not make more than it needs too.

But for girls all they need to do is not eat excessively. Which I admit can be hard because, again evolutionary, are bodies are trying to keep fat. But girls actually have a higher percent of body fat when corrected for average height. It's because it usually goes to the breasts and gluteofemoral area.

That's true, but in a given day, men (on average) burn more calories than their female counterpart.

That is because women store more calories than men. So, technically, women should have to work harder at it then men.

>> No.3423637

Women don't really need to be thin to look good, they just need to stay the female shape - reasonably full hips and thighs, slim waist, not too much muscle definition. This eliminates "chubbies" and many weightlifters.

Men also don't need to do much, they just need to not have much excess fat, which is more of a female characteristic.

There was a scientific study conducted a year or two ago that doesn't seem to have penetrated the conventional wisdom, as is the case with most facts about human attractiveness...

But anyway, basically it was found that the body weight of an individual was judged to be more attractive in a directly inverse proportion with the availability of food in that region.

Olden times Europe, Modern day Africa = Chubsters are ideal
Modern day America = skinny is ideal

Its a double-edged sword. Women born beautiful will have rich men through themselves over them. But.... those women also tend to be gold digging whores. Women who are born out of the spotlight can often have a deeper personality, but do not receive the gawking the "hot" women get.

its not hard to get fit. me and some guys from class started going to the gym every day after class. you only need to go for about an hour, just make sure you use every minute of that hour. plenty of people say "i spent 2 hours at the gym last night" and they spent most of that time sitting down and talking.

secondly, always push yourself. if its getting easier, it means its time to add more weight

thirdly, try to shake off the instant gratification youve been growing up with. it'll take a couple of weeks of hard work to see any improvement

example: fat was hot in the 16 hundreds, ref: the 'porn' paintings of the time (just google for a renaissance venus)

if you want a more recent example just compare movies and tv shows for the past 30 years: you'll see the rise and fall of overly large breasts

Guys will fuck anyone who isn't hideous (any normal person)
Females will only fuck alpha males (the best of the best)
Because natural selection. The best game plan for a guy is to fuck like a wild jack rabbit. Because he can, and having a boat load of kids pretty much guarantees his genes are passes on. Where as females don't have that option. They are not able to reproduce as fast or easily as males, they have to make every child count. As such her best game plan is quality. Hence picking on the best males available.
In the wild its typical for the alpha male to be the only one allowed to mate, and he generally gets to fuck anyone he wants. If your second best you usually don't get jack shit.

this is about the outer limits of what looks feminine, but this is a pro bodybuilder in a competition. she'd be not-so-ripped and have normal-colored skin most of the time

------

my favorite part of girls saying they won't lift weights is because "they're afraid of growing huge bulging muscles",,,, like it happens in a few weeks and they might not notice until it's too late.

it takes YEARS of lifting to look like that, ya dumb twats. get yer flabby ass on the machines, "too much muscles" is the least of your worries..... if it were that easy, every guy would have done it already

The woman in the pic could look a lot better than she does without looking like she's been on testosterone for three years. This is more an issue of societal standards, what this is saying is all a girl needs is a decent face reasonable boobs and to not be a fat ass.

All the bitches think I'm a model or some shit like that. Not even close. Not giving a fuck about apparences is the new sexy, and I'm exploiting it.

well i had to post pics of fit women, since so many guys apparently hadn't ever seen one (its not their fault, really)

speaking of massive dumps, when was the last good movie that Eddie Murphy was in?
