So I am not going to lie, two of the main reasons I am trying really hard to completely transform my body are to take my confidence to the next level and to improve my success with the ladies.
So my question is for the guys that have really changed their physiques: How much does it help with the confidence / ego and how much does is help with the ladies?
All modesty aside....I need the motivation! lol
Maybe if you were fat and you're cutting down it will help but going from skinny to jacked really doesn't change anything. You will pretty much still be you. And in this ****ed up society girls prefer skinny guys over jacked guys anyway, so having big muscles will only get you more attention from men. SRS.

since i started training ive put on almost 100 pounds to my frame and im more self conscious then ever. when you spend hours and hours every week trying to perfect ur body in the gym, then your constantly watching what u eat or eating as much as u can to gain weight. All so u look a certain way in ur mind that will never match what u see ion the mirror. sry that probly didnt help anything lol....
I went from being super skinny to becoming more uhh... "jacked"? I dunno exactly how I would describe myself. Not super buff, but a lot of lean meat on me. Anyway, I would say it helped tons with my confidence. But I also made some other life changes the same time I started working out, so that helped too. Got a new haircut (use to have one of those long-hair skater haircuts) started paying a bit more attention to to clothes I wear, you know simple stuff. Then of course I just look better because my clothes fit me so much better. Basically I always struggled getting that "first look" from a girl, or breaking the ice I suppose. Body building to me has helped me with that. It gets you those initial looks and prioritizes you in front of other guys for girls. I hope that helps.
i dont see the problem. talk to a girl and if you've got chemistry things can happen over time, don't try hard or you'll ruin it and come across a dick head. if you don't have chemistry she can be a friend so continue to talk to her as a friend. having girls as friends leads to meeting more girls which havethe potential to like you.

couldnt agree more, i get more looks from guys in a bar then girls lol. thankfully not in a sexual way but its almost predictable. my friends laugh cuz its almost predictable that a guy will approach me way more often than a girl will.

False. Girls at my school are always talking about guys with muscles.

This. Show them Brad Pitt from fight club and then show them someone with real muscles like Lorenzo or Charley and they will say Lorenzo and Charley is gross.
Maybe Brad Pitt is a bad example, but what I mean is THAT'S what they think big muscles are, not actually big muscles like a lot of the guys here.

This is SO TRUE.
Bulk up all you want, boost up your confidence but if you got a small wang then just kill yourself.
I used to be real chubby and when I finally lost all the weight my confidence went from like 2/10 to 20/10 lol.
