this here IMO is ideal logic. pursueing and acheiving a healthy and happy life makes one more attractive because they are happier, more confident, and at peace with themself.

IMO, when you find an individual who lives as such, they are automatically relationhip material to me.

Raena never does shaming tactics. It was a joke man. She's the most awesome poster on here.

I sit in the sauna every day because it gives me good skin, which makes me more sexually attractive to women.

I wear nice clothes because they make me look better to women. Otherwise I would sweat pants every day, becuase they're far more comfortable.

if women didn't exist, I would be far less motivated in life. I'd be perfectly content if I made $45k/yr, since I don't have any expensive hobbies. The only reason I want to make 6 figures or more is because it would give me more dating options and thus ultimately lead to a happier life.
Yeah, but that becomes an arms race after a while.

It is kind of like bodybuilding. A guy may start bodybuilding to impress his friends. And for a while, he does. Then, his friends start bodybuilding. They get big, just like the first guy. So he has to work harder to get even bigger. And for a while, he is. But then his friends start to work harder to get bigger. And so on, and so on.

You accomplish some of you goals, but you end up living a very harried, stressful, competitive life. I don't want it.

0%. I work out when ever I feel like it for myself. I eat reasonably healthily and have various hobbies because I enjoy them and feel good, energised and alive. In my opinion, doing anything to impress another, purely to attract another or because you are seeking happiness from another is a fools game with only one possible result, disappointment.

It is likely you will learn the error of your ways at some point in your life but I believe part of your behaviour is a result of following others, perhaps from programming from media and pedestalization of the opposite gender. Assuming your post wasn't some early April fools jive, good luck...

Very little. I dress nice and paid a bunch to get my teeth fixed. That's about it.

The rest is just me. I work out to stay fit and healthy for the sports I enjoy.

I do the same sports now that I've done since a young age. I enjoy it.

I work hard and strive to improve because being poor sucks and I like owning houses!

Your life should be spent doing things you enjoy, not doing things to impress women.

I guess whatever motivates you to be a better person though. Good Luck.
