6-Pack Abs

Post Reply New Topic

Here are some articles from reliable sources which indicate exercise does relieve symptoms of depression.

And if I'm not mistaken, Boo met a girl in a gym so that goes to show it can be a positive way to meet other people too. Most gyms and sports clubs are low key and relaxed also so it can be good for people on the spectrum instead of going to a crowded noisy bar or nightclub.

Since I know both ends of the line, I can tell you that I don't get any more attention from women now that I have those fabled abs than before when I was chubby. I do like the look of it very much, because to me, it is the price I have claimed for going through endless hardship when dropping around 30Kg, and it is something I want to keep as long as I can. Then again, I do not run around flashing my abs around, as I still feel very uncomfortable being topless, which I always did, it makes me feel naked, exposed and vulnerable, but I doubt it would change much. You could argue that I simply do not realize women paying attention to me, but I would if they suddendly started swarming towards me, which simply is not the case. What I do feel is jealousy from other guys, and it something I cannot understand.

Thank you! I definitely agree that I am both way more energetic and generally more positive in attitude towards most things than before (not that I was that negative, but I do notice the difference).

Let's put it this way.

As I said before here in this thread.

The reason why 6-packs became a such popular male's attractive trait is because it's being effective for the mass.

If it wasn't effective, celebs wouldn't have them. It's a must-have for the young male celebs nowadays because it does bring more female audience, it's as simple as that, such things aren't coincidental in the Hollywood world.

While 6-packs on women never became popular because they're ineffective, even repulsive for most men.


Same can be said about the makeup/boobs/ass enhancements, they're there because they're effective.....

Even the WP's babe of year wrote an article about how effective the makeup/dressing is as it was the only way to effectively attract males.

i like to poke six packs. its an impulse which is hard to control sometimes. (not saying i poke random men in the street, i mean if it's the right situation.)

I love a guy that's got a six pack, but is also quite skinny. Maybe he has the six-pack because he's so skinny?

I love a lithe look.

Wow

On a somewhat related topic, how do women feel about walking twigs (i.e. low body fat, not a lot of muscle)?

Most people understand the exercise part - but the other 50% of abs are made in the kitchen. You have to eat very well, in addition to exercise - and not just the strength training , also cardio (for me, it's running). I mean, you have to eat every meal healthfully - your diet has to be lean and light on sugar and fat. You have to eat less. Your metabolism has to go up, and stay up, to burn off that fat layer we all have. The midsection is very difficult to trim, and strength training won't do it - you have to hit that with a hard burn - strict diet and cardio.

It's natural for some - but in America with all the junk food, it is difficult to do for many people. I had a fat layer for a decade before I figured out how much change it took to obtain the definition of muscle in that area. It took a dietitian for a girlfriend to show me how. We eat healthfully nearly every night.
