I'm sure most of you fellow guys who lift weights on this board must have noticed the sudden attention you start getting from lots of women-regardless of their age-when you start developing muscle and getting buff. For me personally, it's such a change from my skinny days. One thing I'm trying to get better at doing is making eye contact with most women who walk past me to see if I can get any sort of vibe, regardless of whether or not I feel attracted to them. I'm usually a very focused kind of guy and when I walk, I often tend to look straight and seldom sideways-left and right-especially when I am in a hurry.
So yesterday at one of the local malls here in Philly, I made sure to make direct eye contact with almost any woman who walked past me. I deliberately went into stores with some female customer service representatives at the front desks and pretended to look around just to see their reactions. In each instance, the reactions from most of the women was amazing. They looked at my chest, arms, etc. They walked up toward me smiling very broadly, asking if I needed help with anything. It just seems to me that for some reason these days, a lot of women seem to be a whole lot nicer to me when I approach then in customer service situations than was the case during my skinny days. I even went to a restaurant to ask if there was someone I could talk to about getting a summer job and the waitress just looked at me as if she was hypnotized. Of course, she was unbelievably "nice." I noticed her looking at me even before I went in.
I agree 100% with those of you who explained a while back on here that it appears as if a lot of these women, when they see a guy with a flat stomach, huge biceps and triceps and a big chest, begin to probably think in their subconscious mind about whether he might be have good genes to procreate with in order to pass on to his offspring. Just yesterday again, while waiting for the train, this one lady using a pay phone began walking around me in circles at one point. I knew it won't take long before she said something to me. And she did. She asked me if I could watch her traveling bags while she headed to the ladies room. Then when she came back, she asked if she could borrow my cell phone to make a call. I let her do it but told her to be very brief because I don't have daytime minutes and get charged for calls made during the day. When I finally left that area, I noticed her still staring at me as I walked. It really feels like an animal kingdom, when you start to observe how the game in this country works, depsite how superficial it is.
I think I read an article on the internet yesterday which said that today's muscular men/buff guys are in some sense, if it were an animal kingdom, like the male peacocks whose beautiful tails were perceived as a manifestation of masculinity. It's quite amazing.
