Over the past few weeks I've been going to a gym on a regular basis of about 4 days a week. I've noticed that I've begun to gain quite a bit of muscle (well, more than when I started)
My goal is to have more confidence and a body that women will find more attractive than what I have presently. Attaining the physique of a Greek God may be unrealistic, but I would like to be have nice firm toned muscles and be able to bench press a hell of a lot more then what I do now

Well, personally, it's a huge turn off when I catch guys looking at themselves in the mirror all the time.
I once dated a personal trainer with an amazing body. He thought he was so hawt. He felt his body earned him the right to be disgusted by anyone that did not measure up to his standards. He expressed nothing but contempt for his overweight clients and said the most horrible things about them. He'd tell me how disgusting it was to see cellulite on the thighs of his female clients, stuff like that. What a jerk. This was his profession! It really turned me off.
He wasn't nearly as hot as he thought he was: beside being an a-hole, he was short, bald, had a small thingy (and worse, he didn't know how to use it), and was underemployed.
He tainted my view of gym rats in a negative way forever, I'm afraid. Now I see men with hard bodies from time spent in the gym as being vain and self-absorbed until they prove otherwise. And needless to say, I will NEVER, EVER hire a male personal trainer. I would always be wondering what awful things he was saying and thinking about my imperfect body.
Too bad, because I actually really like muscles, I like the way they look and the way they feel and all the wonderful things you can do with muscles. I appreciate how hard a person has to work to obtain them. But I don't like vain, critical, arrogant men. To summarize, it takes a lot more than muscles.
yeah man. I'm sorry you went out with such a tit-head.
I train a lot because I value looking good. (I read a lot too but we are not talking about that) but I totally appreciate what the last poster wrote. A hard muscular body is great for women but vanity is ugly and so is lack of compassion for others.
So you train like a maniac and reap the reward. Just stay out of egoistic traps and you wont get judged as a vain moron.

I do have my arrogant moments but I dont think most people would consider me to be arrogant or vain. Im always (or always try to be at the very least) considerate and caring for others
Me attaining a rockin bod shouldn't change that aside from the usual arrogantesque jokes I like to crack
Seriously though I try to be a good guy. I hate arrogant people
I think it's fine to be confident and even "own" that you are good looking. Arrogance for me is someone who is not kind and cares more about how they look. Honestly, when someone is arrogant they don't look as good to me anymore.
Davie- you seem like a good guy from what I've read on here.
In that case, more power to you. It's more appealing (to me) if a man is muscular and working out in the gym for reasons other than vanity. For example, men who are in the gym training for an Ironman Marathon or for a sport are more appealing than men who are obviously working out to over-compensate for their lack of stature.

for sure. It seems much less vain and more goal orientated right?
