From Skinny to Powerful: How Building Muscle Transforms Your Dating Life

Smart, fun, and interesting. So why is it that all the beautiful women always seem out of your grasp?

Why!? You may even be athletic. You can do karate, run super fast around the track, and other things. So why does it seem you can get the average to cute girls, but the very attractive women seem out of your reach?

What is holding you back is that you are skinny.

“But I like being skinny,” you say. “Look at all those fat people!” Indeed. “Those guys who go to the gym and all are just idiots.”

There was an article in the Atlantic Constitution that said how average women marry skinny guys over big guys. It also said... why am I parroting? Let the article speak for itself:

"When women are choosing mates—except for very attractive women—they're facing a tradeoff of choosing a guy who's very sexy or one who will stick around and treat them well," he added.

It is self-evident that beautiful women end up with the masculine men—in other words, NOT skinny guys like you.

I know... I can hear the objections you’re saying, because I used to make them. It seemed so ‘jock-like’ and ‘below you’.

I have gained over 50+ pounds of muscle mass. There is a saying that when skinny guys get big, when they look in the mirror, they still see the skinny guy. This is true, as my ‘skinny mind’ hasn’t yet caught up with my body.

Let me tell you of the change of reactions I got from the women:

For your reading pleasure:

I started out around 155 pounds at 6’3” height—very skinny. I was considered a nice-looking guy. Women loved me for being tall.

At this point, I had to deal with a lot of fat chicks hitting on me. These girls were BIG, and I wanted nothing to do with them. Ugly girls also came to me. This was me not doing anything—this was what my body was attracting. If I wanted to get a cuter girl, I had to work for it.

I had problems talking to women, not because I was scared or boring, but because I sensed women thought I was ‘below’ them. And the truth is—they did.

I date average women.

165 lbs Already, things have changed. The fat/ugly women still go for me but don’t think I’m as easy. The ‘unworthy’ girls now all stare at me. To the beautiful women, I’m just a typical guy. Cute girls now enjoy talking to me.

I still date average women and now some cute women.

175 lbs “You are looking very good,” my older female manager told me. The fat/ugly women no longer hit on me (thank goodness!) and people (out of the blue) are asking why I don’t have a girlfriend. Average girls are beginning to stare.

I date only cute women with some very attractive ones mixed in.

185 lbs Average girls are now hitting on me. Very attractive women are checking me out. At this stage, every woman is happy to talk to me. They all secretly wonder if I’m gay.

I date more very attractive women but still have the cute ones.

195 lbs OK, when you don’t have a girlfriend at this stage, the ladies will whisper, “Is he gay?” all the time. One girl got bold and asked me point blank, “Pook, you are cute and all. So why don’t you have a girlfriend?” I was stunned by her bluntness (rare among women).

Average women consider me out of their league. Cute ones try to become my ‘friend’.

I date only very attractive women. Beautiful women are still a bit of an anomaly.

205 lbs When you get to this stage, something very strange happens. All the attention and staring women gave you is gone (mostly). Ugly/Fat women will despise you as will the average women. Most girls will be scared of you—cute girls, very attractive girls.

Examples:

Now I date some Very Attractive women but most are Very Beautiful Women.

I know many guys will say, “I get beautiful women too and I am skinny!” But all these examples here are based on attraction from the body alone. I am NOT working to get these women—my body is doing 99% of the attracting. I can just be a statue and get a response.

Rather than work hard to get one woman, why not work hard on yourself and get all the women? I don’t work hard to get women; I work hard on my dreams, which gets the women automatically.

Like the article says—only the extremely beautiful women will risk being with a hunk like you. If you want a girl with an impressive body, work on your own body.

Coming from a skinny guy, being big is a totally different world. The worst thing is finding out how people really viewed the old you. People now openly insult my past skinny self, and it hurts—because I never knew they thought that way of me. Clothes no longer hang on my body properly, but I look terrific naked (I say this for the mental imagery of our lovely lady readers).

Big guys are allowed to get away with more. I am allowed to be cruder, bolder, take advantage of women more (I’m serious!), and so on. You can also be stupid. My biggest problem is women only wanting me for sex. Yes, it’s a problem. You try to find a girl who fits your life, and all she’s interested in is your body—it’s like getting rich and dealing with gold diggers.

So how do you go from skinny guy to brawny guy? There’s a lot of information on the Internet. Diesel’s Guide to Bulking Up threads in the Health Forum is a start. For myself, I used Anthony Ellis’s program—30 lbs in 3 months, no joke. For most beginners, it’s more like 30 lbs in 4-5 months.

The big problem with fitness is that there are so many different opinions. Many are wrong and will waste your time (including trainers). What I loved about Ellis’s program was that it cut all the hype and gave in-depth information. It works.

However, the risk with bodybuilding is that it can turn into a highly narcissistic womb. I often think the mirrors in the gyms are not so much to perfect the form, but to perfect the ego. The risk is trying to become perfect—and perfect is boring.

Now, for a note to the skinny guys who are successful with women—they will no doubt post replies to challenge the relevancy of this post. Know that the central thrust of the post is not just bettering image—it is increasing testosterone.

If you are naturally skinny, and are at a higher muscle mass, your body will continually be in a high state of testosterone building and rebuilding muscle mass just to stay the same. High testosterone affects not only your actions—I believe women can sniff it out.

So take a guy stuffed with testosterone and push him into a room full of lovely young ladies. He doesn’t speak a word. He won’t have to. The women will go to him automatically.

Such is the power of testosterone. Such is the power of sexuality.
