Good for you, -x! We tell the guys who come here believing all that stuff--gotta be "buff", gym workouts, height issues, need a fancy car, etc., that not only is it nonsense, but re: gyms, cars, i
t's a sales pitch! Why that isn't obvious, I don't know. The gyms hook the guys by selling them on the idea, that women will swoon at big muscles. (The truth is, that many women are turned off by body-builder types.) The car manufacturers and vendors clearly use the same pitch, publishing photos of their latest creations with women leaning on them enticingly. It's all fake! And yet there are a lot of gullible, needy guys out there who believe the advertising industry's version of reality!
And when we tell some of these guys, that muscles don't matter (they're hidden by your clothes, so obviously whether someone's "buff" or not is irrelevant), other guys comment to the contrary, that you "
need to get buff" to be attractive to women; get buff and give yourself a makeover by doing so. That might only be true for the significantly overweight guys. And yet, there are women who like overweight guys; they're more huggable, having a sort of teddy-bear quality. That's definitely a thing for some women. Not to mention the fact, that good character and personality are at the top of the list, way above poundage, buffage, and other superficial issues for most women.
Bravo, -x! Finally, a man on this forum came out and said it all!
The sad sacks dismiss it when we women post what you just said.
