This guy shows what turning in to the body of Adonis does for getting women.
"Hi all!
This thread is a thing of beauty! I'm just going to give some of my observations since I've started lifting again/ lost weight.
I honestly didn't have too much body fat a year ago when I started back lifting. I was probably about 17% b.f., and in pretty good shape from pushups, situps, pullups, and some running. I started lifting last year after a long layoff. I've cut down to 11.5% bf (well, according to my calipers).
I get MUCH more attention now! I don't really handle it well though, because I don't like the spotlight. I feel the need to "screen" women, because I know most of them only give me attention because I'm sorta ripped. I'd rather them just like me for me. I seem to be attracting the more glamourous type girls. I actually like normal, girl next door type women, but it seems like they are less interested in me now. As far as men go, I get "tried" alot. Guys try to stare me down, especially if they're with their women. I see guys "bow up" when they notice me. Especially taller, bigger guys. They are used to being the big, strong, one, and now this 5'9" 165lb guy is stealing their thunder. I'm not huge at all, lol, but I fill up shirts pretty well. I know it's probably jealousy, but I don't like it, as I'm pretty non confrontational.
Honestly, I don't like the attention, but I love to stay in shape.
P.S. Guys, once you get below about 12% bf, it's like turning on a light switch with women. Above 12%, I got nothing, now I almost have to beat them off (no e-brag, for real)."
