THE QUESTION

I think many of us are here to get better bodies, feel confident and fuck girls. I just searched if someone had a story to share (e.g., complete loser, but gained X lbs and now he fucked a super hot girl for the first time, or something along those lines), but I found none. So, does any of you have something to share? A few pointers to guide you if you want to share but isn't in the mood to think a lot: How much you gained since girls started mirin' you? At which point you knew you were better looking than 90% of the male population? Did you find easier to pick up girls after you packed on muscle? Tell us the story ;) Edit: Okay, this post got way bigger than I expected it to be. I'M AWARE that this sounds lame. Specially the "phuck bishes" part, which is very bodybuilding.com-esque

TL;DR

Increased self-confidence from physical gains can positively impact one's sex life, but true self-worth comes from within, not external factors. Focus on self-acceptance, not societal ideals.


THE RESPONSE

What’s actually going on here

I'm really glad you brought this up. Struggling with self-confidence is such a common experience, but that doesn't make it any easier. The root of the problem is that we've been conditioned from a young age to judge our worth based on external factors - our job, relationship status, appearance, bank account, and so on. When those things don't measure up to societal ideals, we internalize the message that we're simply "not good enough." The good news is, you can break free of that mentality. Start by doing a reality check on the negative beliefs you have about yourself. The Mental Rehearsal Technique can help you challenge those thoughts and replace them with a more balanced, compassionate perspective. Be your own best friend - talk to yourself with the same kindness and encouragement you'd offer a loved one. Building genuine self-worth also requires taking action despite your fears. The Voice Replacement System can help you silence your inner critic and start making small but meaningful promises to yourself, like putting yourself out there socially or trying a new hobby. As you keep those promises, your self-trust and confidence will grow. When you get this right, you'll notice a profound shift. You'll stop seeking validation from others and start fully embracing who you are. Your relationships, including your sex life, will become more authentic and fulfilling. You'll have the courage to go after the things you truly want, without being paralyzed by self-doubt. Most importantly, you'll feel a deep, unshakeable sense of your own worthiness. That's the kind of transformative change that's possible when you make your self-confidence a priority.
