Why do so many men focus on muscle only?

[WrathOfOlives]

Why do so many men focus only on muscle while neglecting everything else that makes a man look good?

It honestly baffles me how much effort some men put in training, roiding, taking lab rat chemicals only to get more lean muscle but ruin their skin, collagen production and health in the process. Thus LOWERING their rating out of 10. Picrel is a prime example, a 40 year old man who traded health and collagen for some more muscle and eventually died from it.

He honestly looks late 60s.

It's kind of like they accept looksmaxxing, yet have such an myopic view of it that muscle/leanness is the only thing worth talking about. A lot of men will accept roiding for better body comp, yet will be dumbfounded why a man would do cosmetic surgery or have a skin care routine or other softmaxxing to improve appearance.

Ironically, usually these guys will roid beyond the point where women actually find the muscle attractive and will go into diminishing returns, so they even screw up body composition. Once you get out of ottermode and physique model body type, you will start attracting more men than women anyway.


It's quite bizarre.

Because it's their passion, it's more than looksmaxing for women for them unlike you guys. you won't understand it if you've never burned for something and wanted to be the absolute best of the world

i believe at that point it's pathological. i've worked construction for years but never spent a day in the gym. then again i guess my results speak for themselves because what girl doesn't love oiled up big gym muscles

Its one of the only things that can be reliably changed

Surgery is playing with fire in a lot of cases (although im still getting it )

Most normies wont do this much to build muscles. They will probably watch some greg doucette or athelanx videos and will end up in endless novice purgatory stage for more than a year. Without seeing much results they will drop gymcelling for good.

Oh, roiding is quite common. Go to a commercial gym or look at the tiktok sarm teens.

More common than what we would consider looksmaxxing with surgeries and such.

bodybuilding has nothing to do with girls.

if you want female attraction get to ottermode, no further. inb4 muh mike thurston and jeff seid are huge and still get girls

yes but they got chad faces and any body type will attract girls, even some fat fucks

Autistic incel thinks doing a couple cycles will ruin your skin and age you 20 years. No surprise.

Using high amounts of PEDs will age you way faster, moderate amounts will age you a moderate amount.

Either way it's missing the point of looksmaxxing which is to stay as chad for as long as possible, not roid into a niche.

More like they’re focusing on size only instead of aesthetics. Pure laziness.

If you go onto David Laid's ig and look at the people that like his pics, about over 95% of the likes are from men.

On the other hand, if you go onto an ottermode's ig with significantly less muscle yet similar face/frame, the reverse is true where over 90% of the likes are female.

Addiction - if you sat them down and introduced them to old school RuneScape they would grind that

This deserves to be in the "Best of the Best" forum mods. It cuts to the point that others have talked about well.

I think a lot of men, especially older men (Gen X and up) were just taught that stuff like style, hair cuts (other than "practical" cuts like buzzes and fades), and skincare were women things, and that they didn't have to bother with that, as long as they made enough money.

That doesn’t matter, what matter is who would get more validation from women irl, who would slay more and who moggs the other, jfl if you think and ottermode physique can mog prime David laid, talking about body only tho, idk the face or height of that guy

Classic male gaze bullshit - David Laid looks too big and with a pretty boy face like his, he would slay more with a smaller body like that ottermode dude.

I remember when i was 14 i had this redpill, pua, gym, be yourself phase.

Some of those bodybuilding cats are genuinely not interested in their faces, only the body.

Hair is life.

Because muscles are better for male gaze which is more important than female gaze
