    It’s a bit of both. I can see these hobbies leading to a healthy relationship, but anyone who thinks the answer isn’t “hit the gym” is coping.

    (Btw I’m no gym rat, but this is a fact)

      As someone who does hit the gym, in my experience the majority of people you’re impressing with your physique are men. Sure I’d say most women like it if you have it (assuming you aren’t too big), but generalising that it’s the main attraction would be a mistake.

      I’d put “hit the dermatologist” above it. Plenty of girls go for the skinny or husky builds. But blemishes are a universal turn off

        The benefits of hitting the gym are much more than just getting swole. It increases self-confidence, helps to improve self-image, etc, which are all way more important to getting laid than any hobby you could have.

      Hitting the gym can’t hurt but it’s very low on my list of priorities.

      Being chill, open with one’s emotions, able to communicate reasonably, willing to help around etc are way higher.

      Usually being a woman helps too but life’s life.

          The issue us that the hobbies you have have little correlation with whether or not women like you. I do many things on the list of hobbies that women find unattractive, but I don’t have trouble pulling because very little of attracting a sexual partner actually has to do with having a lot in common with them. It’s more of vibey thing like that guy was saying.

          At the same time, the gym is gonna help self image and self confidence which will help you be fun chill and easygoing which will help you get laid.

          Exactly!

          As long as they’re not punt kicking kitten or dropkicking old folks, hobbies are pretty much irrelevant imho.
