Whats YOUR motivation for lifting?
"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.
Why do YOU lift?

- Start date
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

So many reasons and they all add to my quality of life.
The main reason I started was for a focus in life and to stop feeling like a skinny guy who couldn't hold his ground. EXAMPLE: I witnessed a good friend of mine get beaten bad a few years back by 2 guys and there was just nothing I could do. Nothing. I was too weak.... I wouldn't of standed a cat in hells chance. All I could do was shout 'leave it out guys!' (to which one of them approached me with a clenched fist.. and all I could do was step back like a B****) and wait until another member of the public (a very old frail man actually) came in to call it off. That's the kind of stuff that got to me. Not feeling like I could stand up in many situations.
The interest from girls, the fact other guys think twice about trying to knock you or belittle you (especially in front of chicks) and the fact I feel f****** great for it all is all a massive bonus.

I checked all of them:
I used to be the small frail kid that always got picked on. Since I've started lifting, everyone seems to be my friend and I get a lot more respect (I lift to fend off the bullies). Lifting raises my confidence (I lift to be a badass mofo) which helps with the girls (I lift for the Girls).
I was never good at team sports, so weightlifting offers me something where I can be competative against myself (I lift for a sport). Plus, directly due to weightlifting, I've been eating a lot healthier and am in great shape (I lift to stay healthy).

Thats what I like to see. The more reasons you have, the more you'll strive.

To be honest, it progressed. At first I was fed up of being the skinny guy that girls thought was "small", now I'm big and they all want to touch my arms, and I was voted "body of the school". Then it just grew, trying to beat my PB's and just enjoyment of the gym, networking with the big guys, a few bouncers, getting in the clubs free.....all came from lifting.

One reason I will only reveal to the folks on this board:
To impress the people who always knew me as the skinny, nerdy guy.
To impress the people who always knew me as the skinny, nerdy guy.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Not really to be healthy - you can easily get injured lifting and it's not really that healthy for ya either. We would all be doing yoga and eating raw food if we wanted to be healthy.
To impress the girls? Naw, rather to NOT dispel any girls because of my looks
Lift for sport? You have to once you lift for awhile, it is in your head. But this is the effect not the cause.
Fend of the bullies? I am 180 right now and dudes still talk sh1t. There is always going to be someone bigger, I don't know, may be when I'm 220 it will stop
Last one is funny, but I don't think most guys will magically be 6"5 270.
I lift because I look in the mirror and say "Damn, I love myself" and it makes my day better.

You can get easily injured doing yoga as well. Lifting is healthy, whether you think so or not lol.Oxide said:
Lift for a sport. I didn't mean because lifting has become a sport to you, I meant such as adding strength for sports such as football or increasing your speed for track or something.Oxide said:
I coulda put that on there too. Option #6 "I lift because I find myself attractive' lol:rockon:Oxide said:
Keep liftin bro
Awesome logic. guess what, you are gay, whether you think so or not, lol!
Tell this to the guy with scars in his lower back from the surgery because he pushed himself on the squats. Or many guys who fukked up their rotator cuffs from military presses. It is not all about the form too. There are many things that just accidentaly fukk up and you can be changed for life.

There are freak injuries in just about everything you do. Lifting IS healthy. Improves your muscular fitness, strength, ability to handle every day tasks. Increases bone strength, which decreases the risk of breaks. Many lifts also improve flexibility and joint strenght/mobility.
As for me being gay, thats just a no-no. Exit only please lol.

to be healthy and to look good.
lifting is only unhealthy/dangerous if you are doing too much or using improper form. I know that if I don't eat good and workout; I feel like ****. If I do workout and eat proper, I feel great.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
