You know fuck all about me. Muh learn an instrument. I’m a very good, self taught, classical pianist. I don’t lift for male validation, nor is it entirely for female validation. This is how I like to look. And it got me 99+ in 6 hours on tinder with two selfies and a mirror ab pic like in my op. Women like my body.So... narcissistic homoeroticism, as I stated. It's vain and self-serving. This isn't how men should be improving, unless the returns are still nondiminished (i.e. you're 50lbs overweight). I have no reason to appreciate this. Think of all the other better things OP could've been doing instead - learning an instrument, a language, helping someone in need, IDK... anything.
To what end though? I could have a billion dollars in the bank, but if that's where it stays, I might as well have nothing. Is this something men should be striving for? Useless vanity? I am all for effective vanity, but this is flat out ineffective. The delusion that women drool over body needs to stop. I explained in my OP the gym trap.
Case in point here. This is done for nothing more to get validation from other men. Not really useful IMO. Kinda gay as well. I can fully relate to an unvalidating life, trust me, but I must say I prefer no validation to this strange homoerotic validation.
You may categorize me as a jealous incel, but I'm confident (as seen in my post history) that I'm nothing more than blackpilled on how SMV works. I'm not jealous of someone like Salludon for example, who has done nothing short of live out my dream of getting married and starting a family, because he hasn't waterboarded himself in the gym/workout koolaid. I make these posts so that people who read this are not fooled by the idol of gymmaxxing - that it can magically cover flaws, or that body is any form or real halo besides leanness (which can be achieved through diet alone).
Lastly, in the end I don't discourage going to the gym (I guess), but it seems like the mentality around it is all wrong. I honestly think OP "looks good", but of what value of that to him should that be? Nothing.
The reason I lack validation in my daily life is bc I have debilitating health issues that leave me in bed or on the couch 20+ hours per day with severe fatigue and brain fog. I lack energy for a social life and sex drive to pursue girls. With such little positive reinforcement it’s easy to feel that I’m lesser in looks or any quality than I really am.
