Study finds Upper body strength key factor in men’s bodily attractiveness

[gymislife]

https://www.psypost.org/2017/12/upp...-mens-bodily-attractiveness-study-finds-50422

The effect of strength was so large that none of the 150 women in the study preferred weak men. Furthermore, looking strong was much more important for man’s attractiveness than being tall or lean.

“The rated strength of a male body accounts for a full 70% of the variance in attractiveness,’’ Dr Sell said.

Dr Sell said while the women in their study preferred the strongest bodies, there was a sizeable dataset across many cultures that showed women did not always prefer the strongest looking faces.


MUHH HEIGHT BRO MUHH I'M 6'5 BRO MUH ITS ALL ABOUT THE FACE

Gym is life

that makes sense guys always brag about how much they bench press and not how much they deadlift/squat

 

[Morpheus]

Tried telling you fuckers that gym isn’t cope. Since the beginning of time raw strength has been a key component to riling up women’s hormones and it’s pure cope that people here want to act like gymcelling won’t improve your attractiveness. Looking more masculine and broad (while still being at a low body fat) is obviously going to make you look better.

A lot of people here do. They’ll say that it’s useless because “face is everything” or that you can’t improve your frame/height with gym so why bother and then go on to post that cherrypicked picture of that roided dude with the tiny frame and ugly face who doesn’t look good (but still probably like way better than when he was really skinny).

My success with girls is so much better now that I can bench 250 and look like it. Sure I’m not Chad and I still need to improve facially and I’m going to do that, but body is still a clear halo. You can’t look weak. You have to look like you need to beat a dude’s ass if needed to defend a girl.

I’m a 3/10 and I slay above average girls here and there purely because I gymcelled and have a good shirtless mirror pic on my tinder profile. No matter what level you’re at, it’ll improve you, so it makes no sense to not do it. Even if you’re JSanza level. No he won’t be able to get Stacy because he has a good body, but it’ll still make him better as a whole. No one’s saying face doesn’t matter more but body still matters a lot.

Bodyhalo is real

Ok bro, I will get to gymcelling ASAP. This is probably a good wake up call / motivation for me tbh. Thanks

Truecels should lift to stave off bullies. Being incel with muscle is much easier than being incel with skinny-fat flab.

Do it bro. Get on a 3 days on, 1 day rest routine where you do something like:

Legs/Shoulders
Chest/Triceps
Biceps/Back
Rest

And then repeat. Make sure you do the heavy compound lifts like bench, deadlift, squats, overhead press. Don’t bulk too quickly or you’ll gain fat. Do a steady bulk of 2 pounds a month and it’ll all be lean muscle if you’re lifting correctly, sleeping enough, and your testosterone levels are decent.

I’ve only been seriously lifting for less than 7 months and during that time I’ve been so on and off with it at times but I still look pretty decent. Still gotta get more deltoids mass and my chest can be a lot better. Legs are a huge work in progress. But I’m getting there.

My mother tells me gym would stunt my growth / compress

My parents would say the same thing when I was younger lmao. Don’t listen bro it’s not true. Boosting your test and GH during your development years will help you if anything.

Nothing he’s saying is scientifically backed. Studies have shown that your growth can be slightly stunted only if you injure a growth plate and that would come about from really fucking up the exercises for extended periods of time. Have proper form and you’ll only benefit. Doing normal squats and deadlifts isn’t going to prevent you from reaching your full height. And he was correct about the fact it boosts testosterone and GH which is great during puberty.

Height? do you take supplements? nice physique

Height? do you take supplements? nice physique

5’9 (inb4 it’s over lol) and no supplements. I’ve been considering getting on SARMS and/or peptides or something but I’m really cautious of messing with my natural test production.

I’m really good with my diet though. I try not to eat any dairy or refined carbs and I eat a lot of protein.

 

[HumidVent]

It's about frame not muscles. Gymceling won't help you.

I recall this study.

70% of a man his bodily attractiveness. Depends on his strength.

On the total. Of a man his attractiveness.
About 50% is face.
About 25% is body. (Of that 25% , 70% is determined by strength).

Common sense for any normal human being. Do a tinder experiment with a gay faced alien MM vs a generic faced jock with insane body like Marc Fitt and see who slays more.

Walk out into the real world and see how many 6'4 low fat percentage men get hot women vs 5'8 bodybuilders. I don't have time to wade through the paper, but I'm 100% sure there are errors in the study which create the laughable conclusion that muscle mass matters more than height, because anyone with a semblance of capacity for logical thinking understands that just isn't the case.

 

[Deleted member 773]

The real challenge is looking strong vs looking like the pillsbury doughboy.

there is absolutely nothing worse than seeing a bloated gymcel in public.

ur never a 3/10 with that jaw/chin and hair even if u had subhuman tier negative canthal tilt and a huge nose and small mouth

but i agree that gym does wonders

 

[Deleted member 5185]

Again, take a DYEL skinny guy at 6'4 and a yolked up 5'4 guy with same face and see who women chooses. Its so laughable to even think muscles mean MORE than height.

If we are talking about 6ft to 6'5 ft or something, then sure she will take someone 6ft with great physique vs 6'4 with no muscles, but thats circumventing the actual question of height vs muscle mass importance.

take a 4'10 guy with this face

and this body

and a 6'2 guy with 4.5 psl face and average body...
the girls will choose the 6'2 guy............ height>face and body?

jfl at the comparisons u make

 

[Morpheus]

My eye area sucks, my mouth is indeed small, and my nose is kinda bulbous. Also the lighting and angle makes my jaw/chin look better than it actually is. Facially I’m solidly a 3. A good body halos me though and I get decent tinder hookups purely because of it and my hair.

But yeah gym does do wonders man. I don’t understand the people who refuse to even try and call people preaching it copers. All I’m trying to do is help people here since I know it helped me so much. Just because lifting won’t turn you into a male model doesn’t mean it won’t make you more attractive to girls.
