You sir are ignorant as fuck. People like myself lift weights for several reasons. One of those reasons obviously is to gain muscle and feel confident. The gym carries over to several parts of my life. It gives me confidence and sure girls don't always care for muscle but the confidence working out gives me allows me to approach girls very easily and become the center of attention. Also, working out teaches you discipline that can carry over to every aspect of life. Working out and dieting like I did may not always be fun but at the end of the day it is worth it because of how accomplished I feel. I love to push my current limitations farther and test my body. When i break a personal record in the gym i get a high on life feeling. In addition, I love the pump. The pump is like an orgasm bro. I'd rather go workout than have sex most of the time. Lastly, working out is a great way to stay healthy and meet people with similar interests as you. I have made several friends in the gym. People respect you if you have big muscles. Older woman love muscles because they value the hard work and discipline it took to achieve which in turn will lead to a man who will have the discipline and motivation in other areas of life. there is no denying that fit people are happy people. I always feel amazing after the gym and get a high on life and I do not even need to smoke or do some other unhealthy shit. Remember man AESTHETICS OVER EVERYTHING. Bodybuilding is an amazing sport where there is always room to improve. I love to sculpt my body into something beautiful. I am an artist and the weights are my clay. It is more than a hobby, it is a lifestyle. Before the gym, life was alot worse for me because of how unhappy I was. My diet sucked, my body sucked, and I never had energy or motivation for anything. All i did was play WoW and study a little for school. Since working out, I have a 3.94 gpa, alot more confidence, alot more girls, everything is positive. The gym is my place to escape the stresses of the outside world. I put my music in and zone out and enjoy my happy place (the gym). Working out in my opinion is the best thing on this planet. I'm sorry you have missed out.
