Leanpill has to be the biggest scam on /fit/ right now. You can pretend that women are into skinny dudes all you want, but evolution proves you wrong, as heavier men had an evolutionary survival advantage and signaled their wealth and ability to care for others to women who were potential mates. Only men care about how skinny someone is. If you hear someone here pushing the leanpill, just understand that it is a dude who wants you to look more like a woman. Making yourself look more like a woman for the admiration of other men is gay. In fact, it might be the gayest thing that you can do other than having sex with a man, which I suspect is the case for many posters here on /fit/. Leanpill is also a way to destroy your gains as you will not be able to gain muscle efficiently on a cut. The other Anons here know this and they are trying to sabotage your gains as part of their zero-sum cult mentality of thinking that your loss is their gain. Finally, I will add that this all ties into the fitness industry trying to sell you protein supplements as a "health" product when they are literally selling you a waste byproduct of cheesemaking and marketing it to naive people as a way to make more money. Not only are you not gaining more muscle, but you are actually losing muscle by buying in to the leanpill marketing. Remember: squatz and oatz are all you really need to make it. Don't listen to the gains goblins who regularly post here. They are either poison pills or have bought into the marketing hype.

My gf wants me to get so big and roided to the point I have a bubble gut
I know of women who love fat guys
I know of women who love skinny guys
I know of women who think brad pitt's peak is ideal, i know of women who love hugh jackman, i know of women who stuff their cunts to kpop boys

Be who you want, be authentic, be a good dude and the kind of woman who likes that type of person you are will be attracted to you.

Of course, if you're a trend-chasing faggot you will reap what you sow.

All else equal, less body fat is more attractive on a man.
>>
>>77513659
>All else equa
What is the "all else" in this equation? If you're referring to muscle size, wealth, intelligence, competency, leadership ability, and ability to reproduce, then you are incorrect, since all of these indirectly correlate with a higher body fat.
>>
>>77513637
I work a pretty public job, I see a lot of people come through, and a lot are on dates.
A ton, the majority, around 70% at least of the hottest women are with fat guys, not even buff fat, just fat fat, it's astounding.
>>
>>77513687
Look around a costco or walmart and you will see a lot of happy couples that are of varying levels of attractiveness and obvious income levels.

Its probably the best sample size because everyone needs food.

For 99.99% of human history, being heavy was considered the ideal of human attractiveness. The royalty were able to eat more food and thus gain body fat. The slaves on the other hand had to work 7 days a week and couldn't maintain a high body fat due to all of the physical labor.
>>
>>77513685
>wealth and intelligence correlate with being fair is well known that the poor and less educated portions of the population are disproportionately obese. Therefore, one may conclude that you are likely obese.
>>
>>77513637
Yes. Being big is where it's at.
Pictures don't capture that though.
And 'lean' dudes are all projecting male gaze onto women. Dudes like looking at pictures of well shaped things. Women like 'big.' Especially IRL where you get the 3d effect.
That is why men like tiny petite women or big amazon women - as long as they are shaped well.
Whereas women... do not like tiny well shaped men. They prefer big fat men as long as they're tall and large.
So the lean faggots, very few of whom exercise at all, and none of whom have ever been 'big', are your typical online incels with zero firsthand knowledge, projecting their male brains onto women.

>>77513659
Can't say I've even found that to be the case. I got lean recently and notice zero difference

>So the lean faggots, very few of whom exercise at all, and none of whom have ever been 'big', are your typical online incels with zero firsthand knowledge, projecting their male brains onto women.
It goes even deeper than that. Most of these lean males are "femboys" who are trying to attract men by looking more like a woman. Same thing happens in lesbian relationships. The butch is the big one with the shaved head. It happens in prisons to with gay men where the masculine one aka the "bear" will dominate effeminate young skinny males. Most of the posters here are gay men.
>>
The point of the lean pill is to get women right? If so, the lean pill definitely works but only if you can get the bad boy image right. For everyone else, the builtfat aristocratic build works better. The perfect middle ground is the guy from Pride and Prejudice.

if you want to be huge and strong, go for it.
personally, i just feel and look better being lean. i much prefer having definition than size.
although i don't rely on external validation, i have gotten significantly more complements on my body by women since i got lean.

Lean by normie standards is whenever you can still see the outlines of your abs. For most fit people that's actually peak bulk, and that's also when I get the most compliments.

What an absolute retard you are - what do you think the meaning of "all else equal" is?
Yes more muscle generally comes with more fat, but a man with 165 pounds of muscle/bone/organ mass and 15 pounds of fat in his body looks better than a man with the same 165 pounds and 30 of fat
If this was b8 then congrations

Nothing feels better than knowing you can lift your shift up to reveal a tight, flat stomach and visible abs, NOTHING. Lean is king.

The leanpill is the only pill that's real. Doesn't mean you can't have muscle too, but you will be most appealing the most people when you're lean. Models, athletes, actors/actresses are all lean.

Right so either be super muscular, skinny, or a skinny kpop pretty boy. Notice how you never said "i know of women that are into flabby men"

If you never even came close to putting on too much fat and don't know the thresholds then you are most likely not building enough muscle compared to what you could be.
>>
>>77516601
>excuses for not being more filled out
Just gain the muscle then you can be lean after that. As long as you aren't too lean you can go back to gaining weight drinking water and doing 5 good sets in a workout lol.

No they're not. Athletes, football players etc are often not particularly lean.

Why are you on this site? You talk like a fucking moron. Consider speaking in normal English instead of retard.
Anyways no. I am fairly lean and muscular and people IRL are much more impressed by the big strongfat guys.
>>
>>77516928
sure i'll reiterate them.
a lean body looks far better without clothes than one with high bf%. muscle definition and vascularity carries more importance from an aesthetic point of view than just size of the muscle (i.e. a well defined muscle is nicer to look at than a larger one thats covered in fat). i also make the claim that leaner bodies look better in properly fitted/tailored clothing.
i also make the claim that in day-to-day life, i.e. outside of the gym, being able to lift heavy carries little benefit (which is usually the drawback of being lean) so i don't see the advantage of sacrificing aesthetic qualities for something with a low ROI
>>
>>77516943
Lean just looks small in clothes. That's it. Big looks big in clothes. Even if you're fat.
The ONLY place lean is impressive is in carefully taken photos.
Strength is very useful IRL, anyone who has gotten strong realizes this.
>>
>>77516943
This is correct. An actor getting "ripped" for an action role primarily involves getting really lean first and foremost. Brad Pitt probably only weighed 160-170 for Troy and that was the role he put on the most mass for.

Biggest cope in the history of this board.

It's absolutely true. Not if you're natty. Having actually been there, I can say it with confidence, unlike you 'leanpill' types who have never been big OR lean.

I’ve been XL shirt fat and got down to size M lean at 5’10”. I’m trying my hardest to stay that way.

>>77516983
So you were fat and skinny. Not big and lean.

>>77516985
There’s only so big you can be natty and still be lean unless you’re a genetic freak. At my height I start looking like flabby shit above 170lbs.

The amount of people on this board this would apply to is vanishingly small. Superheavyweight strength athletes are tiny in number and require a huge amount of dedication. Yet you dyel twerps tell yourself it's half the board, to excuse your own smallness.

you're just denying reality atp idk what to tell you. there's guys who have fat fetishes and love bbbw women that doesn't mean "be in shape and lean" is bad advice for a woman wanting to be generally attractive and vice versa. most of the time if you see a woman with a fat husband he was fitter when they first met and then let himself go and they're both coping to try and stay together

240 at what height? I’d look fat as fuck at 5’10”.

This is true. its not about being lean its about being attractive.
If youre ugly, being lean will only make you appear as a gaunt crackhead.

if youre attractive, you can be slightly pudgy, untrained, basically a slob but women will love you bc tall, big jaw, good hair, good facial symmetry, none of these have anything to do with bodyfat.

being obese can ruin your looks, but being lean wont make you attractive.
If youre fat, be lean just to see what it looks like, but if youre not chad, nothing can save you.

being fat can make you look worse, but being lean wont make you not ugly is what I meant to say.

The idea that being "lean" is sooo good looking is born of spending WAY too much time on computers, looking at pictures. You like all the little definitions and shapes on the guy's body. Staring at pictures on the internet gives you a weird way of looking at things. How many times have you lusted or posted jeet tier horniness about some girl you see a picture of, that you wouldn't even look twice at on the street?
Anyways it has become totally out of whack. You are projecting male brain onto women. Women like to feel small and protected and threatened at the same time by their guy. They do not look at pictures and lust the way you do. You lust after all the little curves and shapes on his body. You think 'I like this so much, girls must like it even more!' But the truth is, that's not true and you aren't going to look like that anyways.
pic rel is to me better looking than any sub 200lb lean guy. It actually looks like a normal male physique. A lean muscular physique is not something that exists in nature. It looks uncanny. I think our monkey brains register it as skinny and weak on some level.
