Is it a myth that lifting weights can make you look younger to women?
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
No. For whatever reason heavy weight training rejuvenate the skin. And everyone knows it cranks up your hormones levels.Is it a myth that lifting weights can make you look younger to women?
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Yes, also remaining lean helps with that. Most men over 40 are going to be late teens bf % at best by the time they reach early 40's.Absolutely - up to a certain age.
Guys will hit 2-3 walls generally as they age.
Once they hit that last wall though, they'll still be attractive to women close to their age but no longer be attractive to the really young ones.
Lifting, more so keeps the the skin tight, which tends to loosen the older you get. So besides a good body, it naturally tightens up your face and makes you look younger as a result.
I agree with you but I've seen the "skinny fat" body types all too often amongst the older crowd to know that you MUST stay lean AND lift weights to appear attractive. Guys that only diet still has loose flabby skin most noticeable at the pools/beaches.Yes, also remaining lean helps with that.

goes without saying, massive advocate of weight training for health and looks.I agree with you but I've seen the "skinny fat" body types all too often amongst the older crowd to know that you MUST stay lean AND lift weights to appear attractive.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Weights? Not necessarily but being healthy does. Most guys are soft and soy. being fit is usually a sign of YOUTH AND VITALITY.Is it a myth that lifting weights can make you look younger to women?
