IMHO, a build like Channing Tatum in Magic Mike will make most women go crazy. Try to look like a cover model on Men's Fitness or Men's Health.

3 guys who I know that constantly pick up women doing cold approaches have good to great builds. Not overly muscular but you can tell they all workout.

Really? Well I've been following Paleo for almost 10 years. Explain how people like me are the worst.

Biggest pet peeves of Crossfit is they way people do chin-ups/pullups with all that kipping and movement everywhere.

A couple of weeks ago some thin guy jumps up to the chin-up bar violently jerking his whole body doing some chins. My body was in pain watching him do this.

They can't stop talking about it. All the time. Always. And it gets very irritating. I have a few friends who have been Paleo for years and they just won't shut up about it. If you're different, awesome! But it seems to me that people involved in Crossfit or the Paleo diet just have to constantly tell everyone about it.

OP, you've already lost if you are asking what a women wants or is into. As a rule you will never get a useful or correct answer.

Look around you. Do you see women you find attractive with muscular guys? Do you see them with fat guys? Skinny guys? That tells you all you need to know.

So women please post a photo of your ideal body type on a man so that I know how much more progress I need to make. Or describe it in words. Either is okay. I just need to get the perfect body and get buff. This is important to me and it's something I must achieve.

Post pictures.
Chasing women's approval again are we sir? Shame shame shame.

Beyond their elitist attitude and cult like obsessions, which were pretty well represented in Gatsby's post?

In a nutshell, it's like a normal Mediterranean diet except it excludes dairy and grain products on rationale that is completely false and not based on any real scientific evidence. Their whole mantra is to basically eat like our ancient ancestors ate (hence the "paleo" of paleolithic).

Side effects include the suckage of excluding good foods and a strong likelihood of deluding oneself into believing they are some sort of modern day mongol warrior.

Thankfully, it never really caught on outside of the Crossfit community. I guess quackery...much like misery...enjoys company.

The sheer lunacy of Crossfit makes for some solid entertainment.

That may describe the people you've encountered, but it doesn't describe me or anyone else I know who follows Paleo. The only time I even mention Paleo is when someone asks me about it. For example, if they ask why I don't eat bread or why I look younger than my age, then I'll explain what Paleo is. But even then, I won't go into a lot of detail unless the person is genuinely interested in listening. I also don't go around telling people to adopt my way of eating. Sure there are times when I see someone eating something I know is bad for them, but I don't tell them why they should stop. It's their health so they can ruin it if they want.

I've seen posts like yours before when the topic of Paleo comes up. There's always someone who complains that the Paleo people can't stop talking about it. How terrible for you? A group of your friends talking about something that interests them, that they're clearly passionate about. Some of my friends sit around talking about football. I don't follow sports, but I don't complain that they talk about it. Likewise, I have relatives who are doctors. When we get together, they almost always talk about work. Do I complain? No. If it bothers you so much that your friends talk about Paleo all the time, why are you friends with them?
