I'm 23 years old and never had a girlfriend, but does this really matter. Yeah missing out on all the experiences everyone else has been through but that's alright for now. I'm working out to make change for myself, to better who I am. I'll find girl of dreams after I am big and have a few other goals taken care of as well.

You're only 23. Why do you even want a girlfriend? Focus on you.0

You should work out for yourself and your self-confidence not so you look good enough for someone. When the person is the right one, it doesn't matter whether you have a six pack or not, your heart matters. Good luck to you. Do this for YOU!0

Expand your friendship group..? You're young anyway, you don't need a girlfriend, focus on being awesome, then when you have an amazing job, your own house, several cars and the body to die for, you can have your first girlfriend and you will have so many throwing themselves at you that you will get to pick and choose the perfect one for you! I wish I had waited instead of wasting my time with idiots that I thought were the best I could get :') improve yourself and be confident! Never settle 0

You know, I initially started losing weight and getting fit b/c I was sick of being the funny fat friend with a "pretty face". To some degree, I think I partly wanted to attract more male attention. Funny thing is...once you start losing and getting fit you realize that you are awesome...male/female attention or not. I seriously catch certain views of myself now and I'm like "daaaammmmnnnn self!".
Just do you. Work on you. Be happy. You may or not meet someone...but really...your life is about sooo much more than finding a girlfriend. Take up hobbies, figure out what you like and work to be happy independent of another person. It's totally worth it.
I promise!

Yep I've heard this before haha. Truth is when you want a certain lifestyle you need to do certain things and the things that go along with that are pretty awesome, like all benefits of working out. My favorite is higher confidence! Getting big is just step 1...0

This, this and a bit more this. Guess it easy to say in my 40's but men I found attractive knew themselves and not trying to impress anyone. Be yourself and you'll find someone. Anyone that's toally driven by physic at 20+ is going to be sadly disappoined as you head towards 40+ForeverCharlie wrote: »You should work out for yourself and your self-confidence not so you look good enough for someone.

Don't become friends with girls just in the hope they'll then become your girlfriend then. Most girls are probably going to see through that early on and to be honest, it's a bit manipulative. Like you don't appreciate them as human beings who are worth being with but as a prize to work to. Workout for your own benefit, because it makes you happy. Be friends with people because you like being friends with them. I can't say for sure a relationship will suddenly crop up, because I've been single for 12 years so no success story to share with you here. But aiming for a relationship as if it can be planned in advance is going to lead to failure.

Dont workout just for girls. Workout so you can gain confidence. Also as others have said expand your friendship group:)0

Haha i treat my friends as friends and treat them as humans. I'm not made to do things on my own I need support.0

Health for me. You might have to take care of other aspects other than just whether you work out.0

Strong post. I can sit here and tell you the pros and cons of lifting for women all day, but it's your decision and if it's going to motivate you , more power to you. In for routine, and nutrition. I'm interested in which route you're taking to get swole.0

My husband has been lifting for the past 4 years. I got motivated to start going with him when I noticed the amazing difference with his body and overall happiness. Now we lift at least 5-6 times a week as we work toward our common fitness goals, which is pretty awesome.0

spot on bruv. Lift, get ripped, get laid.
And a possible side effect of living a healthier lifestyle too.
Motorbikes, cigarettes and tattoo's worked for me0 -
I know plenty of guys and girls of all shapes and sizes that have had significant others. maybe it's not your weight... maybe its just you.0

Meh, don't lift to get a woman, lift to make YOURSELF happy.
Women will like your happiness and confidence because that is attractive to people, but like I said, do it for you, not anyone else.

Why not? I know people who were married by then.
And you don't have to get fit to get a girl. Sure, you'll attract more girls in general, but there's no reason you can't right now either. I see super skinny, and super chunky, guys (and girls) who have a SO all the time.
I want to get fit for myself, mainly. At the same time, I want to have a boyfriend who wants to be active and fit as well, so I do understand where you're coming from.0 -

Blunt...but if I'm being honest I was thinking the same thing. Being fit won't magically bring Ms. Right your way. If you've been single all this time, unless by choice, there may be other reasons. Get fit for you. Work on yourself, your confidence, and that will help you attract the right kind of person.
