I’m extremely skeptical about the value of spending hours in the gym chasing bigger muscles.
In my view, once you have a decent base of muscle, low body fat (~10%), and a tan, you already have near-maximum visual appeal and muscle definition. Past that point, adding significant size rarely increases attractiveness and can even hurt it.
Women (and people in general) seem to care far more about:
Bone structure (wide clavicles, narrow waist, good ribcage taper)
Muscle insertions and shape
Sharp definition and leanness
…than raw muscle size. In many cases, getting “too big” actually lowers your SMV because it starts looking try-hard, puffy, or disproportionate to a normal frame.
Can anyone show me a single real-world before-and-after where a guy already had good definition and leanness, then added a lot of size, and objectively became more attractive to women (especially to women)? Not just “he looks more jacked to gym bros,” but actually higher general sexual market value.
I’ve genuinely never seen one. Every transformation I respect is either:
Fat guy → lean and defined (huge SMV jump)
Skinny guy → decent muscle + low body fat (also huge jump)
But defined guy → much bigger version of himself? I only ever see the appeal plateau or drop.
Change my mind.
