They don't know any better. Sometimes you say you prefer what's available to you because then you can lie to yourself and say you have a choice or you're happy with what you have.

Your experience is also why one should at observe people's actions and not their words. They may not know what they want but their actions will tell you for them.

There you go. Watch till the end. Which one do you wanna be

Stop asking guys about their bodies and do your own fucking thing. Remember it's not about what women say it's about their actions. LIFT.

Watch their actions, don’t listen to their feeble minds.

Never ask a girl for advice on this kind of stuff. They'll lie to make you feel better about yourself. I guarantee they're all wishing they had a Channing Tatum boyfriend instead of their dadbod guys.

You asked a girl for advice? You got what you asked for, a lie.

Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do.

They say they like dadbods, but the aesthetic guy will never be without pussy unless he's socially autistic( even then he may still get some).

Girl-friends do not exist. Never ask advice to women on how to get women.

Also, if you are good looking and they are attractive, you should try getting out the friendzone (by being sexual, using push and pull, escalating etc.) and then you will see how they prefer an aesthetic physique instead of a dadbod lmao.

Follow their actions, not their words

Sour grapes, as others already said.

My question is what do you want for yourself? If their successes make you question yourself then there’s a bit of insecurity I’m sensing in you.

I have been there before, when I lost all my weight, I was laid more frequently than when I didn’t.

If that’s what you want then go for it. Comparing yourself to others just breeds negative energy. Focus on yourself. See what happens. Dad bod for the long run and long term relationship or being healthy for the long run and a long term relationship with a person who is also aesthetically pleasing.

If I recall, we tend to be "attracted", for a lack of a better term, to people of similar social status to our own (read as beauty and social skills in women and character / ability to produce aka creating value in men). Attracted in this case would not be the same way you are attracted to a super model, but more of a romantic attraction. This makes sense because a unattractive women will most likely not get a high value man so being romantically attracted to him will be detrimental (they would be just wasting their time).

A dad bod is easier to control and manipulate because they have fewer options, thus they prefer them long term. Short term they want the strong ripped guy.

Kind of reminds me of the guys I see when I drive through my city's campus. 99% of the guys I notice are either super skinny, overweight or just simply have a lack of style (clothing, haircut and etc). However today I was waiting at a stop light. Noticed this one Asian girl who happened to be accompanied by this Asian guy. The dude already had decent facial aesthetics but he also had 16 ~ 17 inch arms. Stood out from everybody else in the area and I am assuming that the hot ass Asian girl was his GF.

I don't really know where I am going with this but it only takes a bit of effort to really stand out from the crowd. I assume women who want a long-term don't want you to stand out in a crowd, thus telling you dadbods are good enough or that YOU are GOOD ENOUGH the way you are.

Even though this video is meant to be taken lightly, Dom explains the whole dad bod phenomenon perfectly:

You’re forgetting how insecure women are about their looks. Women want to be the attractive ones and most are well aware that looks are the only thing they have to offer. So they are threatened by a man who puts a lot of effort into his body. A handsome face isn’t something you work for. It’s just something you have. So that doesn’t bother them. It’s the same as a man feeling threatened by a woman that makes more money than him but not being bothered at all if she inherited the money. But anyway, most women don’t want to date a guy whose body is better than theirs. They would rather be the “hot” one.

I asked a couple of my girlfriends

1: You expected an honest answer from women related to sexual strategy - first mistake

2: You expected them to know what they want accurately - second mistake

3: Dadbod = low value = little to no effort required to maintain relationship, and easier to manipulate due to lack of options.

Your friends are hamstering not lifting because they are betas. Drop these men and make friends with body builders.

A woman's response to her preferences in men stems from her ego in an attempt to weed out those weak enough to actually listen to a woman for advice. This is an innate biological defense mechanism used on men to protect her from being impregnated by betas. See shit test. (Please also read the sidebar) Her response does not reflect her innate biologically hardwired prefernce of an alpha chad.

First. Don't ask women for advice.

Second. They are saving face.

Dad bod wil get you chicks , but the ones who see you as provider.

Aesthetic will get you more pussy.

Fact

dad bods = long term partner

aesthetic = 1 night partner

First mistake: don't ask women because they tell you not the truth but what they perceive to be the right thing -social accepted- to tell you. Instead observe what they do: Women go crazy at cinema for dadbods men or 50 shades/magic mike/that wild acquaman?

Second mistake: don't argue with people on going to the gym,because they will defend their slack lifestyle to protect their ego.It's a matter of ego,not logic. Smile at them and do your business,maybe they will ask you something about gym,maybe not but who cares?

pay attention to women's actions, not their words.

one of the important things to understand about TRP (and people in general) is that a lot of this is targeting the subconscious, instinctive, animal-like part of a woman's brain. the logical, conscious part controls the words coming out of her mouth, but that voice is really just a passenger. it's the silent, subconscious mind that is really making all of the decisions.

this supposed preference for dadbods comes entirely from that logical, conscious part of the female brain. they've been used and pumped'n'dumped by hot guys with aesthetic bodies. they associate nice muscles and low body fat with player fuckboys and a dadbod body type with betas.

but here's the important part: the subconscious, animal-like part of them wants the hot guys. it doesn't matter what they say, they want to get fucked by fuckboy players. take them out in the real world and put them in a room with a hot fuckboy and a dadbod beta, and she's going to choose the hot fuckboy every time.

and then after the hot fuckboy pumps'n'dumps her, the logical conscious part of the brain is going to come up with a rationalization for her actions and an explanation for what happened. due to cognitive dissonance, the conscious part of the brain will never admit that it's just a loud but powerless backseat driver and the silent subconscious is completely in charge, and she will blame the hot fuckboy for tricking her. she will say that she hates hot guys and prefers those nice dadbod betas, and will swear that next time she has the choice she will choose the dadbod beta. but it's not true, those are just word. put her in that situation again and she will do the exact same thing as she did before.

This reminds me of the study where it men and women were shown different videos of sexual situations.

They would write down their opinions on whether they “liked” it or not as they were shown the videos.

However, their genitals were also being monitored for blood flow / arousal.

With men, it was basically 1:1. What they said they liked, their dicks agreed.

With women, they found that they often would consciously claim that they were not aroused by certain scenarios when the monitoring equipment clearly indicated that they were.

Think about that.

Pay attention to her actions, not her words. Is she salivating over the rock or seth rogen? Think about it.

If you are higher smv you might be out of her league. So if she's with such a guy she is either forced to improve herself, and which girl wants to work hard, or she might lose you, and which girl wants to do that?

Why do the super majority Miss USA Contestants say they wish for world peace or some variation yet none of talk about getting rich and famous and living in luxury? If that is their dream, why are they on stage chasing the rich and famous fantasy?

"The truth is generally seen, rarely heard." -Baltasar Gracian

If you wanted the truth, you would have approached it indirectly. Get two pictures of two very similiar looking guys, similiar ages, hair styles, poses, ethnicities, and outfits/colors (to reduce all other variables) but with the difference being ones a dad bod and other is fit. Don't say what your experiment is about or just lie (I want to see if the men's sexual orientation/religious/political leanings affect how others perceive them or some bullshit), and ask them to choose one or the other.

First of all, never ask a fish for fishing advice.

Secondly, women prefer both in different contexts.

Women are incredibly insecure and don't want a ripped guy in an LTR who challenges their own looks.

For STRs they prefer the ripped guy hands down.

Ultimately, it's just a matter of AF/BB.

As funny as it sounds, Dom from broscience on YouTube has a great video on this called "why the dad of is worse than Ebola." It's a funny video, but it's actually spot on and filled with redpills

Don't listen to what women say they want: they will only tell you what they believe they should say in the moment.

Watch a woman's actions, her words are not a true reflection of her reality.

Don't listen to what girls say, watch what they do. Read the damn sidebar.
