Anyway, my out of shape friends, who get women now and then, told me that I should not bother going to the gym except to build confidence, and that getting ripped will not turn women on. As an example, he cited a ripped guy in his class who does not talk to any of the women, and is not dating any of them. I agree I need to get out there and approach them, but these guys are dumb for telling me not to go the the gym. They told me not to go at all shortly after I told them it gave me confidence but not enough to totally approach anyone.
Whatever. I almost hit on a woman today, especially after she was friendly when I talked to her for a second. And when I get my abs cut and get 5 more pounds of muscle on my upper body, I'll have to put out effort not look too confident.
