I was thinking of purchasing 2 dumbbells and they each weigh 30lbs. I am 6'1" and I weigh 215lbs
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
What weight of dumbbells do you guys recommend?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.

Do I need to increase the weight over time or can i have big muscles with just staying with the same weight?
If you are new to the bodybuilding gig,ul make newbie gains fairly quickly,assuming you are doing structured exercises and eating well.Over time,ul need to lift heavier to get better,further results.However,thats not the only way,you can go slower,with lighter weights and super strict form...but in most cases if you want progress ul have to up the weights a touch,whilst not cheating.I do reccomend hitting the weights,there are no downsides and the discipline needed also is good for morale!
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

You can't just get one pair. That would be pointless. You would be much better off buying a set of heavy, well made resistance bands...
Lightweight, portable and highly effective

I'd buy a set of high quality resistance bands instead of heavy equipment...far greater bang for your buck and highly portable as well. Might not be as effective but it's pretty close...95+% as effective.

LEADNOVO Adjustable Dumbbells Set
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I agree with everyone saying adjustable... I have powerblocks.... they go to 90 but I believe you can get a kit that takes them up to 160

I always lift light with high reps when I'm using free weight, I watched my buddy jack his shoulder on a 100lb. Dumbbell.
I like to use the machines because I can max out without a spotter
