If getting hit on is the only way you can feel good about your self I would suggest getting sone therapy.

Oh c'mon Toad, cheer up a bit. Why are you always the first to strike any new post which is not "up to your standards"? Leave people be and may I suggest some therapy as well. Or just get a hobby (another one).

OP, I think being attractive to the opposite sex has more to do with your self esteem and confidence than your fitness. But since fitness can improve your confidence then it may indirectly affect your attractiveness I think.

Thank you

I like to be healthy, and oh hell yes I love to put on my skinny pants and have them button all easy. And when they do i absolutely feel better about how I look when i look in the mirror. And when I feel better about how I look the people around me notice . It’s a cycle, and good cycle I’d say. Lose for whatever reason you want.

To be completely honest my fitness journey started off slightly vain. I wanted to be desired after feeling like I never was. Now it feels kinda *kitten* cause the same people who overlooked me a couple years back suddenly know who I am. It just kinda shows you that those people aren’t worth it in the long run.
Do I still workout and continue on with my fitness journey because I want to look good? Of course. But I *mainly* do it for myself now.

Just curious, I know we are all doing this for better health but is anyone here also trying to lose weight so you can attract the opposite sex and possibly feel better about yourself as well. I’ve reached 30 😫 and I feel like nobody is hitting on me anymore Lol. Sorry for TMI

I was able to score at any weight

What helped my self esteem and confidence was therapy, yoga, and lifting weights.
