I've never once see a girl cover up or cower when a buff guy walks past, if he is attractive and aesthetic.

Basic body language. Girls cover their breasts from men that aren’t attractive to them

The fact that you notice may be an indicator that you’re not noticing by as subtly as you may think. In my apartment building I noticed that if I’m looking down at my phone in my hallway and an attractive girl is walking towards me their past year is completely natural as long as I’m not looking up. As soon as I look up no matter how far away they are they immediately look down or start fidgeting for things to keep their hands occupied. Maybe they are looking at you because you are attractive or you are masculine but it’s the fact that you are looking at them that maybe makes them a little uneasy.

Shave the beard?

I get more front hugs instead of side hugs

No, I'm a slim muslim guy and they still do that shit to me >D

They are do that cuz they feel intimidated. Like u/Zanford said below

Intimidation reflex acts more quickly than arousal reflex (although the latter can be damn fast.) Maybe you have a scowly face too.

You are right mate. Trust your instincts first. Everybody in the comment section didn't perceived your exact situation. You may feel they are horny towards you because you experienced their behavior and body language personally. Their breathing patterns change when they feel horny. Their face look different. Everything must be taken into account. Also hiding chests can be reverse psychology. You are right.

Women cover up around you because you're creeping them out.

This may not be connected to the fact that you're building muscle.

Maybe smile more to appear more approachable and less threatening.

I get that too when I have resting asshole face. (Not so much covering their breasts, but the sense that women feel intimidated). I'm not HUGELY muscular, but I'd say more that average. The thing is, women generally like muscular/fit guys, but they don't want some socially uncalibrated muscle head who has this as his only "shtick". You know what I mean. He walks around, expecting to be admired by women and intimidating guys. It just doesn't work because it intimidates women too. So if you have a scowl face, are reactive, and do not appear as friendly and social, then yes, a lot of women will feel threatened, intimidated or at the very least, not want to engage with you socially.

Just get out of your head and stop trying to look for positive reactions from women. This is bad even if you aren't intimidating/muscular. Just go about your day and worry about being centered and on your path.

I wouldn't sweat it as long as you get IOI body language with the girls you actually approach / talk to / know

I bet if you dress nicer (especially a biz-casual style of nicer) that will dial back the intimidation reflex

The right answer here is "who gives a fuck".

Youre building muscle? Dope. Have an actual purpose in this life? Even better. Women are fickle, and no, not every single woman who covers up is necessarily doing this out of finding a guy unattractive. Maybe she is, or maybe it's cause she's an insecure little bitch about her own body and this expresses itself through her fidgeting and covering up her tits sometimes, etc. Who knows, and again, who cares.

Women wear revealing clothing to show off their tits. Women like muscular guys. Women want to impress muscular guys. Women want to be dominated by masculine men.

Assuming all of these red pill facts are true, logically this would make no sense. Maybe youre just either ugly, weird looking, or creepy, and stand out too much in a crowd. Or maybe this is all in your head.

It could just be shark week in your town too lol

Many woman when seen by a man they find attractive become self conscious and think "Why is he looking at me? Is my cleavage to low? So some times they either cover or just touch near the cleavage area to feel how low it is.

If you are in good shape and are good looking I would say they are intimidated and feel insecure. Unless OP is just sticks and is actually ugly or disgusting in some way.

Yeah I’ve wondered about that. I remember a girl in one of my classes where we had to have a group discussion and we were sitting across from each other facing one another, would pull on her clothes to cover up her chest a little while I was talking to her. But I also would see her look at me from across the room too so I don’t know.

This is a good thing. On the surface. You are being rejected. But underneath all of this points a broader story.

You are on the "sexual" radar of every woman basically. These women may be rejecting you. But no matter what they do notice you, and youd much rather be noticed then not. What does patrice o' neal say, piss a woman off, make her mad, just dont bore her.

You should try and game them, if you find one attractive, because it can only help you case.

Let me explain, these woman see you as male in the sense that, your a fuckboi or cad, they have now put up a guard. They created the sexual tension, your attempt to escalate and tear down their guard, is playing into their fantasy.

Most women wont go for it. Who cares better to play the role and develop the frame by practicing on women who see you as youre trying to be seen.

I found the opposite to happen, when I'm looking good and I've had a good workout, they damn near flash me their tits.

You are probably just more aware and observant of women so you're noticing even women who aren't into you. Stick to the ones who give iois. The ones that are covering are NOT in to you.

OP, take to heart what all these other experienced guys are saying ...

Give yourself a hard assessment, ask q friend for an honest assessment...

Dress nice and smile

Covering boobs is definitely "not attracted to you". But you can't expect all women to find you attractive. That just does not happen. And there are women out there that specifically do NOT like the "muscle" look.

My guess is this is because you are more noticeable now, to both women that find you attractive, and women that don't find you attractive. It's both your new physique, and your attitude due to your physique, that catches their attention. The worst place to be is to be invisible. You certainly improved in that aspect, kudos.

With that said, you have to decide if it's still worth chasing being "more attractive" in this type of "eyeballing a stranger" scenario. The Internet rules are true, 1) be attractive, 2) don't be unattractive. But it does give you diminishing returns.

I wouldn't worry about it. Like I said, I attribute this to you getting more attention from everyone in general. And that is a good thing.

That's my take on this.

Girls show off their assets to men they want to 'fornicate' with, this is usually high testosterone men.

I have never seen this, you must be pretty ugly dude.
