I think of working out alot but only for the reason to look really good for a woman?
Does it make sense to do this?

In my 20s, hell yeah, that was the only reason that I worked out. I lifted weights for women and they noticed big time. I highly recommend it. Word of advice, don't get too big...maintain a good weight and tighten things up...trust me your stock will rise.

Now I lift weights for one woman, The Boss. The Boss loves it. Matter of fact, I am about to hit the gym for The Boss this morning.

Good luck!

Nah, I workout because I enjoy it, it is a form of entertainment.
I used to love running but I wrecked my ankles too many times-starting with a climbing (err falling?) injury. I like to bike, mountain and road and I started lifting again to replace running. I don´t worry about my looks much or health so much, those are byproducts.

I do workout to improve my performance in the sports I participate in.

Most of the men and women at the gym are working toward the same goal, "The perfect female body".

Personally, working out to merely impress someone is going to the extreme.

Back in high school I did. But not just for a single woman, I did it to look good to ALL women.

Now that Im older and wiser, I know that working out has many many benefits other than "to just look good".

I see that you started this thread maybe because of another thread you started where you said you finally was able to get some girl to have sex with you, but at the end of the sex she told you that you needed to workout. If she told you this then by all means go ahead and start working out. She told you that probably because she likes you and wants more sex with you but knows it would be better if you worked out. So, hit the gym if you dont want to lose that chick.

Sort of...

When I was younger I grew up working very hard physically. I was quite strong and didn't really need any outside form of exercise to have a good physique.

Present day me has a desk job, and ask anyone who has spent a good chunk of their life sitting how it goes when you suddenly become sedentary for the majority of your day. Yeah - not so good. The weight gain wasn't as bad as I might have expected, but I felt horrible that I wasn't nearly as strong as I used to be. Then I had to have back surgery, and that made things worse.

My husband has been my #1 supporter in getting myself active, strong and healthy again. He goes and tries new activities with me, he's always game for something active, he happily collaborates with healthy meals and doesn't bat an eye at spending good money for a pair of workout shoes or quality food. I know that his motivation is not for me to be 'hot' (although I do love the sexual confidence that comes from knowing you're in good shape), but instead for him and I to enjoy a long and active life together. He works out for the same reason. He is a firm believer that life is more enjoyable when your body is physically fit.

So yeah - sometimes when I'm lacking motivation, or life seems to be conspiring to make me miss my workout - I make it happen for him. Because I know how proud he is of me, and I know how sexy he finds my strong and capable body. I often joke that I'm not going to the gym, I'm going to go have 'foreplay' because the man finds me sexiest in a sweaty sports bra.

I've always been active but I signed up for a gym membership when I was heartbroken. I then got addicted to lifting weights and now I do it because I feel good and look good. I used to have shoulder and back problems and lifting actually helped that area out a lot, so thank you to my ex!

Don't get too big because….?

How big is too big?

Do you realize how hard it is for most people to get even somewhat big without "help"?

Go for it. Nothing wrong with wanting to look good for women. Not saying that it should be your only reason but even if it is, hey as long as the result is positive then good for you.

My husband says he's lifting weights to try to look good for me. I've told him I like him however he looks, and if lifting weights feels good to him, then he should do it, but he doesn't need to do it to please me.
