Does being ripped give you some extra social status?

This guy is the nephew of the second richest man in my country.
>>
Well of course. If wearing a nice watch, driving a nice car or wearing expensive tailored clothes can give you social status so does being ripped. That's why Patrick Bateman was obsessed with working out.
>>
>>76697720
Plenty of jacked Uber drivers where I live.
Maybe in antiquity in the palestra it meant something.
>>
>>76697720
At the very least it lets people know you're not a lazy slob.
>>
>>76697720
>Does being ripped give you some extra social status?
No.
>>
>>76697753
Fatty cope, what are you even doing here?
>>
>>76697720
No, but why do you want it to be true? Lol
>>
>>76697753
>>76697764
?
>>
>>76697806
What?
>>
>>76697744
This, it's a baseline for "your genes aren't total shit and you have some self-control". It's also a baseline - for "probably won't die from not taking care of basic negligence shit when our child is 4 years old".

Could also be a sign of steroids, etc. I also do see a lot of people who just work as a waiter/bus boy and try to do a fitness instagram , but at the end of the day it's the same - at least they do something.

>>76697729
Same with a car - most normie upper middle class workers can finance an M3, 911, or Corvette, but even then, it's *usually* a sign of some basic funds. I advise driving a Civic before you make 300k btw, but that's a side topic.

As >>76697729 said, put it all into a package, and it paints a picture.
>>
>>76697720
Ottermode signals high social status, but being genuinely jacked signals low social status.
>>
>>76697720
LOL HIS FACE IS STILL WHITE HAHAHAHAHAHAA
>>
>>76697926
This, being able to be "victim weight" is high status. It's also healthier.
Fucks way less chicks than a ClintWalker type bod does, though.
>>
>>76697720
Ripped yes
Bulky no
Women love tall lean guys
>>
Having a lean, muscular body and a full head of long, luscious hair together with a handsome face is the ultimate mog.
Expensive cars, watches, houses are just cope for someone who is ugly and out of shape.
>>
>>76697955
New image, same retard
>>
>>76698012
And the same butthurt DYEL faggot saving my rent free space in his head
>>
>>76697720
I love feet so much
>>
>>76697720
Certainly not. Rich people that want to appear high class do calisthenics - cardio - tennis. Their physique is lean with a bit of muscle. That guy has a stupid face so his body multiplies zero
>>
>>76698173
>he hasnt heard of rugby
>>
Yes. Of all the things I've ever done the things that have improved the way in which I'm treated or female attention the two biggest factors were:
>Getting fit (decent amount of muscle, ~10% bodyfat)
>Wearing high end clothes (think gucci, versace, etc
It's really night and day. No one respects someone who's fat or broke.
>>
Eurofags are cringe
>>
>>76698194
>Wearing high end clothes (think gucci, versace, etc
>gucci,versace
Those are groid brands, you dress like a groid. Hell, you probably are a groid
>>
>>76697720
>what is leg day
>>
>>76697720
Yes, it implies you have the time and energy to do that shit.
>>
>>76697720
>ab implants
>>
>>76697720
Only if you're white.
>>
>>76697720
Roid tranny faggot
>>
>>76697720
Social status? No.
Makes you more attractive? Yes obviously.

One thing is to have Looks (muscularity is only one of them, face structure, grooming, height, etc. are also included) and another pretty separate thing is to have Status.
A multi-millionaire techbro has status, but he doesn't command the presence that a tall ripped dude has if they are both on the same social setting. Having a good physique is essentially just effective peacocking, especially now that 70% of the population is overweight

That said, most rich people do make it a goal to be in shape just so they can peacock their yachts AND their abs
>>
>>76698272
whatever quiet luxury bullshit you're gonna fire back with has zero status, it'll illicit zero reaction from anyone outside of a few redditors who never leave their commieblocks
>>
>>76697720
Unironically Crossfit and swimmer bodies are seen as "high class". Bodybuilder types are seen as lower class.
>>
hi, I'm a really poor cunt from a country/city that values social status/money a lot, 182cm 72kg, I'm pretty fit, have very defined muscles, I take pride on the body I built so I try to dress appropiately and have decent hygiene, I'm not autistic but I'm not the most extrovert either, in my experience people still discriminate me for being poor, I get a lot of attention from women but when they realize I don't have a car and can't pay for any of their bullshit taste whims they don't wanna see me anymore, then in terms of friendships and whatnot everyone else is pretty much the same, except for the few decent people who like me for who I am and not what I got, so I'd say no, being fit gives you that likeable look in terms of primal desires, but beyond that it's useless in an enviroment that revolves around money-status.

end of my blogpost, thanks for reading.
>>
>>76697720
>nephew of the second richest man in my country.
and he can't afford a better editor to airbrush his abs?
>>
>>76699520
They are, is why. Nobody with money is thinking about huge muscles. They don't need them for anything.
>>
>>76697720
Depends....having a tan is one of the underrated traits to boosting a fit physique. It gives the impression of a vacationer.
>>76698012
I prefer his old image
>>
>>76699459
But that's the thing you don't wear luxury shit to impress the poors, that just makes you a target. You wear it to signal your status to others of your same socioeconomic class. This is the reason I wear an Omega watch and not a Rolex
>>
>>76699569
Are you eastern European?
>>
>>76697720
is part of it but not definitive. it's the life style that reflects your wealth and social status.
>>
Bodybuilding & gym in general is a waste of time to distract ambitious young men from achieving real success.
They create insecurities through social media in [White] young men, so Instead of making real money with a business they waste all those years in a pointless "fitness journey".

More muscle is literally useless. I've had it, and it's all good to feed your ego, but the amount of time and effort (especially mental effort) invested in it gives a very low ROI.

You don't need to "self-improve" for years on end to get a gf or be respected by others. And no, you're not "doing it for yourself".
You do it because you feel worthless and not respected by others. You can only solve that by achieving actually worthwhile things.
>>
>>76697720
is this photoshopped? His abs look far bigger and more defined than the entire rest of his physique, which just looks strange.
>>
>>76697720
Sort of. If you look like Athlean x or Ronaldo, then most people think your a personal trainer. Normies respect that. If you are roided up and look like ronnie coleman, normies think you are unhealthy, and only gym bros respect.
>>
>>76697720
Yes, but more specifically primarily so if you were handsome to begin with. A lot of people react to ugly guys with a nice physique like they're a threat at all times.
>>
>>76699257
It's like some people don't know what the definition of attractive is.
You reference literally attracting people to yourself in the same posting as saying that is not a form of social status. Not sure how that circle can square.
>>
>>76699688
I did a PC cleanup and lost it. If anyone can repost that would be swell.
>>
>>76699598
literally every rich cunt is on steroids except for elon musk because he won't be able to bring himself to training so he doesn't bother.
but the rest are all roided to the fucking gills
>>
>>76697720
Not persé, but it does signal capacity for long term planning, discipline and impulse control. Aal other things equal its always better to be muscular.
>>
>>76697955
yeah dude expensive houses are such a cope
>oh boo hoo woe is me
>I have to live in this 7,000 square foot mansion with a pool in a nice neighborhood

>>76697806
In public most won't know if you're ripped or just fat. They'll even think you spend all your time at the gym.
Online you need to post shirtless pics.
>>
>>76697828
>giving advice AT ALL after telling people to buy a vehicle
Just on that fact alone people shouldn't listen to you with how bad
1. vehicles are nowadays
2. the amount of tracking and bullshit microtransactions they're pumping into the vehicle
3. the fact the vehicle market is on the brink of collapse

You're a fucking retard.
>>
>>76697753
It has been proven in social research time and time again that lean is law. You get treated better and people take you more seriously.
