I haven't been able to date because I am not an aggressive iron pumping and tattooed alpha male which is what the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood metropolitan region expects you to be like if you are a male. People in this culture also date and marry early, often due to pre-marital sex despite religious objectifications and not using protection or the men always demand the women to use pills while refusing to use condoms and the women will often willingly forsake the pill.
Are you psychical attracted to healthy women who are also in capable physical shape? Assuming you are among the overwhelming majority of straight men who find conventionally attractive women physically attractive, the answer is 'yes'.
The same is true for women. Why wouldn't it be? You needn't be a roided out man-animal who only knows his most primal instincts, but to be attractive you have to be physically well and able. In turn, you need to visually display these traits to others if they are going to have any idea whether or not it is true.
The Philosopher and Historian Xenophon quotes Socrates, perhaps among the least similar to the Jersey Shore 'Gym, Tan, Laundry' bro among historic figures, as having said this:
Xenophon, Memorabilia 3.12 wrote:
Socrates: For in everything that men do the body is useful; and in all uses of the body it is of great importance to be in as high a state of physical efficiency as possible. Why, even in the process of thinking, in which the use of the body seems to be reduced to a minimum, it is matter of common knowledge that grave mistakes may often be traced to bad health. And because the body is in a bad condition, loss of memory, depression, discontent, insanity often assail the mind so violently as to drive whatever knowledge it contains clean out of it. But a sound and healthy body is a strong protection to a man, and at least there is no danger then of such a calamity happening to him through physical weakness: on the contrary, it is likely that his sound condition will serve to produce effects the opposite of those that arise from bad condition. And surely a man of sense would submit to anything to obtain the effects that are the opposite of those mentioned in my list.
Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit. But you cannot see that, if you are careless; for it will not come of its own accord.
Humans are not exempt from the inherent value of physical capability present in literally every species of animal. You can get in better shape, and will enjoy innumerable benefits aside from being more attractive.
