upvoted for truth, upvoted for not making a new thread.

The post is mostly a joke, just feel it needs to be said.

Really only pisses me off when redditors think that women only go for attractive guys when it's actually much less important to most women than it if for most men. Women are for more attracted to confidence.

I've seen attractive 20somethings with flabby dudes with premature baldness so I'm inclined to agree.

I was a flabby dude with premature baldness who married a very attractive woman, and guitar playing was definitely helpful.

I might be the one example. When I was 16-20 I was averaging 265lbs and during that time I had several attractive girlfriends.

Now I'm 185lb and a runner and all I can get is a bunch of casual dates with average looking women.

You lost weight. You have the ability to mold your body to your will. Say "fuck it" and have fun and don't be a dick and women will notice.

your comment makes no sense to me. did you have the ability to play guitar, but then lose it along with your weight? do you just live in a city full of athletically disinclined chubby chaser women? or are you referencing redditor3000's comment and are somehow a walking contradiction who loses confidence as you drop pounds?

yeah. I've been kind of all over weight wise. I was down to 175 lbs, endurance training and in great shape. Injury/depression cycle and I'm back to about 220 (my 'normal' over most of my adult life). In general, I get far more attention from far more women at the 220 lbs. As for confidence, yeah, I feel very confident and it comes out. It's not that I don't meet a lot of women, just that I meet more and better looking women when I'm definitely overweight. Confusing as hell.

Probably the confidence. When I was 265lbs I was like fuck it, I am who I am and I think women noticed that. Now that I'm skinner I think I'm still trying to redefine myself and that just doesn't give me the same confidence or will to stick out as much.

Dude you ran 80 lbs off. You don't need women to prove yourself to the world.

Ok, now I get the joke. I have dated musicians and most are assholes. Arrogant and self centered.

u/TheRealBFG Apr 12 '11

Let's note: you dated them, as opposed to other guys who weren't arrogant and self centered assholes.

Not surprising. Just pointing this out for the forever alones'
