Honest question bro, are you lifting for women or for yourself?

honest question bro, are you lifting for women or for yourself?

in the words of a modern day poet:
Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks

I'm lifting for myself so I can get women.

so you lift for women, got it.

survival and reproduction are the purpose of life
if you think that your motivations are beyond your natural instincts, you are delusional

the only thing i lift is my fork

Neither. Doing it for my first kid who will be born in 5 months.

>survival and reproduction are the purpose of life
so you lift for women, got it.

cause it feels good

For myself.
Also reminder that if you do other than cardio you are a dumb retarded cuck and never going to make it.

i don't lift

I lift so I can decline women.

I lift to get away from the problems in life.
A big portion of the problems in my life are related to women so...yeah.

mostly myself, hoping that women will just be the icing on the cake

My mom told me that I was getting too big... so I guess I’m lifting for myself

both you fucking virgin

>lifting for your mom
>your mom is a woman
>lifting for women
Never gonna make it.

unless you are gay, you are doing the same

I don’t lift for my mom, she wants me to stop lifting because I’m “too big”
She also says that she doesn’t like it when I come home with a pump, because I look too “muscley”

no, lmao
I have a girl. I lift only for myself.

Fuck, i need to move to Japan as soon as possible

I lift to beat my depression, Literally the only 1.5hours a day I enjoy

You can get a girl and pussy without every touching a weight user.

Men can do things without the express pourpose of trying to get our dick wet...or if you're gay get shit on your dick.

Stop seeing us as sex objects or means to an end.

I lift because I experienced first hand the world of a weakling, and hated it. I want to be seen as desirable by both men and women, I want to feel like I'm better than other men, and to an extent, women. I want to be the cool strong guy. Ever since childhood, I noticed that the room changes when cool strong guy walks in. I want to be able to hurt the next person who tries to hurt me.

i lift to become a Übermensch compared to normies

/thread

Cope, the things that you do for "yourself" are all about increasing the chances of survival and reproduction

you sound like some mad guy who cant get laid.

Myself. Women are the last thing on my mind when I do something for myself.

>why do I lift? I don’t lift at all. Calling what I do ‘lifting’ is like calling a whale a fish. I cultivate strength, and inner fortitude. I push myself to the limit each time I step into planet fitness. So if you tell me that I lift again... I’ll rip your arms from their sockets and shit down your throat.

>survival and reproduction are the purpose of life
Not it's purpose but it's a requirement for life. Unless you're admitting you have no aspirations beyond having kids and have the mental capacity of a fly

I'm lifting for myself, I grew my hair long to see what I looked like with long hair now I want to see what i look like when I'm swole or at least not DYEL

There are morbidly obese monstrosities and slenderman tier anorexics out there that are surviving just fine.
As for reproduction, that I'm more fit for reproduction and women want my babby or at least wants me to fuck their brains out does not mean that my training is for that.

I've started this shit because I used to hate myself. Everything about my body, my health, my discipline and my way of life. I hated it.

I loved suffering and I felt guilt if my body was not aching in one way or another.

Now I just lift for myself and woman that helped me to get trough it.

thats fair

lick on these nuts, and suck the dick

I started for women then I realised that no amount of lifting can cure my autism now I really just do it so I don't lose what I built and it's enjoyable

I'm lifting so that women will be willing to find out who I really am.

Unlike majority of the Jow Forums posters that make Jow Forums look more like a complaint board, I lift because I hate my ottermode frame.

It's everyone's responsibility to be physically strong.

Also, I just found out my mom was an alcoholic for my whole childhood, so I'm pretty sure most of the ways I've been living my life are wrong.

For self. Women are nothing more than gains goblins who are useful to dump a nut in when the urge arises. Lift for myself for my own satisfaction and sense of accomplishment

to try to make up for genetic disadvantages and to ease the pain of my existence

I feel like it's a pretty common reason to lift

I only lift to hangout with friends honestly.

The only right answer is, both. I'm lifting for myself but when you do that right women follow

Based dyel fedoraposter

i lift because it helps me relax and concentrate better at work

but im always looking to see if I’m getting mired (nope)

the right answer in this thread

Mindfucking narcissistic, attractive women sounds like fun.

>whyyyy don't yoooo liek meeeeeeee :'[

Based and redpilled

I get what I call "loud brain" a lot. Sometimes the noises are somewhat important like "I should get to the DMV this week" or some shit, but a lot of it is just irrelevant garbage like a song I heard in the car that I don't even like. It's weirdly exhausting having all the noise bouncing around your head. Lifting requires an amount of focus that kinda acts like blinders or something. Once my brain is still for at least a little bit, it stays quiet for a day or two. That's why I lift.

i lift so i can be comfortable topless

I lift because it makes me feel good
I used to have multiple motivations like insecurity and feeling weak, but after a while motivation beyond feeling good stop mattering to me

I lift to be a fit soldier when shit hits the fan. I don`t believe that my whole life expectancy will be free of wars, finacial crisis, natural disasters or whatever. I want to be capable of surviving as independent as possible.

Attached: always be ready.jpg (640x100, 5K)

just get a gun, retard. if there's an apocalypse a 2pl8 bench press won't do shit for you

you're retarded if you think it doesn't help.
there's a reason they don't just teach soldiers how to shot and make them go through physical training.

No shit sherlock. But it should make me more independent of medical services. Not bench press but overall physical fitness.

I'm lifting as an outlet for my hate.

Your mom is jealous that your father isn't as sexy.

>realise person is consciously aware of my existence
>immediately feel like a disgusting worm, embarrassed this person can see me and knows how pathetic I am
>as a result I avoid all unnecessary social interaction, literally spend >90% of my life hiding in my bedroom

If I lift enough this feeling will go away, right?

I can relate to that.

I got laid more before I started lifting.
I haven't pursued a woman since my last gf a year ago...
I've become a hermit, I just wanna get jacked and record music all day now and women get in the way of that.

But, they say everything we do - everything - is for sex so who knows. Maybe I'm holding out for mad wheyfu qt groupies on my world tour

I lift so when I look in the mirror and admire myself. Also I love the feeling when you finish your workout and follow up with a cold shower. No better feeling.

If I stop lifting and running the bad thoughts come back.

For the most part I dont care how I look, I only care that they leave me alone.

No you need friends. I did this for the first 21 years of my life. If you have siblings then get to be better friends with them. Go to their events n shit.

Do not, DO NOT shut yourself in

100% this. I've gone too far in my life being a loser, I have a choice, and I choose to not be a weak bitch.

I lift for other men. When I'm big no-one hassles me and is generally nicer. Who gives a fuck about lifting for women or for myself.

Anyone who says they’re not lifting for women is lying to themselves and everyone else. You’re lifting to increase your viability as a mate to reproduce with a woman.

I lift to get strong. I like being known as a strong guy.

I already have a woman, 100% lifting for myself

I lifted for women when I started, but when I finally lost my virginity I realized it was overrated. At first it caused me to be demotivated at the gym, but then I realized I enjoy the idea of getting a good body that attracts women rather than actually "making it". Was I realized this I started to train because I enjoyed the journey rather than the reward of looking good and getting girls. I now train more often and my happiness isn't dependent on whether girls like me. I look at it as a bonus to an already fulfilling life

>women
close but no cigar

I want to outlift my dad primarily. he was a boxer and lifted a lot in his youth and until very recently (I'm 20, he's 65) I couldn't outlift him. he was still benching 2pl8 but I think his test has tanked in the last year so I can now bust out 105kg for 5 on the bench and he can only push 95. now I might not be a failure in his eyes

I lift because it helps me hate my body a little bit less

For her

I just do bicep curls in my room with these adjustable dumbbells. I'm on 5x5 20kg each hand but they go all the way up to 80kg so long way to go yet.

So yeah, for girls.

I lift to get girls like this but girls like this dont like things i like so it never works out

I lift for many reasons, and while wanting to be an attractive and valuable mate is one of them, it's not as high as my other reasons.

I do not feel attraction towards anyone
How do these things motivate me, according to you?

Congratulations.

nah he's darwinpilled

I train for myself with the expectation that as I improve myself others will take notice and be more attracted by and to me.

They're all playing it up for the cameras and each other, trying to act all kawaii like in animes. It's so false, like pornstar moans.

evolution is not an ontological process, retard. darwin explained how these things work, he did not make a claim as to why they work.

I LIFT FOR JOHNNY

Attached: theman.jpg (2366x2622, 336K)

I lift for beauty and aesthetics but not to impress women, just myself. Girls can be impressed by skinny fags, fat retards and aesthetic gods so as long as you're not a neckbeard autist

Although my gf does love the gains

She's the kind of white chick that I'd fuck semi retarded for hours on end till my balls are drained and a bit longer then that till I'm pretty much empty of any and all lust then leave her passed out in a puddle of cum and pussy cream.
The kind I'd sink all nine inches into and keep punishing her tiny snatch while the massochistic slut sobbed and begged for more.
The morning after, oh god what have I done, who did I do feeling.
Makes me think that she wasn't worth it...till she rolls over and says "good morning daddy" with a kiss on my cheek.
She then pulls the cover off of my dick and gets to work sucking my cock.

Is writing terrible erotica about a slam piece one would rudely fuck in a way that would be comparable to brutal balls deep rape be a breach of the noporn contract?

for my ego and women lol

congrats user,I hope he or she is born healthy and strong

I lift because i love the feeling that comes as i tear myself apart for that one more rep

I'm lifting for my woman. She apparently wants me to live forever and staying fit is a part of that.

Plus, I mean, it'd be 100% pure dick to get fat when she stays so fit.

I lift for my health, because I plan to live long enough to purchase nanorobots (with the millions I will have) that regenerate my cells, thus becoming amortal.

both.
i lift to gain the respect of other people being very masculine with a lot of strength. looks mean a lot to people.
But really its for me because the real reward is knowing the hard work is paying off and im getting praise from plebs and whores.it feels good to have people be fearful of you. be a fucking chad. that's the goal.

were all gonna make it.

I am probably the oldest boomer in this thread.
Married with two beautiful girls
Own home and business
Wealthy...

Uncontrollable internal rage that drives me to do and achieve more... The weights are a good outlet and after letting my health go while I accumulated money and power I am now putting the final pieces of the puzzle in place.
Still hate just about everyone and everything... But me myself the most.

A bit of booth, I'm lifting to feel attractive. I'm married to an amazing woman and have an 11month olddaughter and a great job. Just I've never felt good looking. I'm not lifting to fuck women or sleep around I'm lifting to raise my confidence and as shallow as it is looking good in the opposite sexs eyes will do that.

How old are you fellow boomer?
