Dating a guy who looks better than you?

Security vs. what is wanted... The never ending battle of ego and reality. Biologically women will pick a provider that is even tempered and manageable, not inclined to leave or find a better mate. Now when they ovulate that's when the Mr. Alpha good looking bad boy comes into play. Biologically drawn to carry his baby so her sons will have those same characteristics and have more mating opportunities with more females. Its nature...

Money/status or "bad boy", dour man ,very dour.

Actually if you train drug free this is unlikely to be a problem. You will probably be lighter with more denisity and look smalller in cloths.

of course, this depends on your methods of training but there is much truth in this. There is a Mary Jeffrey who squatted 407 pounds, weighing in at only 52 Kg

We can assume powerlifters are not drug free, though I did know a drug free one once.

TNG2:

There is a book out there called "The power of positive thinking". It is old, but timeless. You should read it.

Also, if you have never Watched "The Secret" in movie version, you need to. I have read the book and watched the movie version. Some adore the book. Personally, the book bored me to tears. It was a battle to finish. And it is not big at all.

This sounds like nonsensical psycho babble, but seriously, it works. FOCUS on your greatest desire. SEE the end result in your head. MAKE it happen.
If you concentrate on the how, it means you didn't understand. The journey is NOT about the how. It is about the WHY! What the mind BELIEVES, you will achieve!

My favorite quotes and personally mantra from John Paul Jones: "Don't give up the ship!" "Never surrender, Never say die!"

Well maybe.. but the situation as it is right now, fat don't really add much to your shoulder to shoulder ratio right? You can gain / loss 20kg (44lbs) and the ratio would still be pretty much the same. So this is where the problem occurs... If I hit the gym, my shoulder to shoulder ratio will be bigger rather quickly since I'm a fast gainer when it comes to muscles... I feel like i need to find the right haircut, yet I have not found it.

Our society and day in age has gravely mistaken "bad boys" for true Alpha males. Am I off on this Pegasus?

At the elite level, sure, but that's true for all sports. Why single out power lifters?

Sad but true. Hollywood proliferates it and the media focuses way too much on it. Glorify the gangsta! Stupid is as stupid does.

Let's try not to get too far off the OP's topic.

Ha! been waiting to say that. Everyone needs to say it at least once.

I'd put myself on the lower end of Attractiveness...

I've got a really nice smile, and a decently attractive facial area. But I'm heavy set and pretty normal looking.

I am still trying to learn to love my position... As I get older, and I realize women are starting to shift towards not trying to find "hot" guys and just looking for a decent looking guy who has WAY more than physical to offer, I'm becoming a HOT commodity.


To me, I equate everything to cars so I can frame it like this...

When we're younger, men, we want the flashy loud Muscle car with the loud paint and shiny wheels (dog dishes or dubs, doesn't matter) if it's loud fast and fun we like it. It's okay for a few weeks then it's annoying as hell because it's too loud, it's embarrassing when you want to be taken seriously and... honestly, if other people like it enough they steal our sh*t or sabotage it.

When women look at me, picture them looking at cars like we would...

If you decide to be "attractive" be attractive in a classical sense... Physically it doesn't really matter, just be healthy... even if you're naturally fat, become confident in the fact you have more to offer than fat... and ACTUALLY have more to offer.

For me, I see myself as a luxury powerhouse (something like a MB S600) not much to write home about in the looks department. kind of big... but keep you comfortable for the long haul and can out perform most others where it counts.

Some women may not want a guy like me... they'll be happier with a 335i BMW (the more athletic built guy with less sophistication) or they may even like the guy built like a Dodge Challenger SRT8, Big muscular loud and obnoxious... it takes all kinds of guys walking around to make the world go round and women like them all.

Quite right, the highest users in terms of % in the sport who use is bodybuilding . High % of users also among bouncers and bikie gangs .
Funny enough police also come up in some studies .

I'm not the best looking guy but I'm tall, confident, have a good hip to shoulder ratio and display character in my life. I have had girls in my life that were eaten up by their own insecurities and it always ended ugly, like a nose diving plane. All of these type girl went on and on till the end of things that i was so much better looking or just better then them. In my experience a girl like that will try every dirty trick when things are done to bring you down to where she feels she is at and take from you your confidence just to sooth her own insecurities. I see many good looking women with men that are out of shape, sloppy or ill groomed compared to them and most of the time that guy is pushing a stroller...
