Confessions

It could also be that women just put more upkeep and effort into being attractive than men do on average. Keep in mind, female attraction is not skin deep alone. (It technically isn't with guys either, but sometimes I wonder. lol) Its tied to a lot of things. When they look at a guy, its not always just to see how cute they are, but also what their looks can tell them about that man. -Does he have cheeto crumbs sprinkled all over his unironed shirt? He's clearly a slob. -attraction. -This guy however smells of perfume, and clearly put a lot of effort and attention into his hair. +attraction. -Oh, but with the way others treat him means he isn't very well liked by his peers. And he keeps checking himself in the mirror. Must be a total narcissist. -attraction -But take a load of that guy. He's got a wedding ring, so clearly someone saw something in him. (Yes, this is why guys in relationships get hit on so often.) +attraction It's a quagmire of how context clues are put together, and their personal tastes or interpretations of those clues. So generally the more you put what you have to offer on display, the more likely women are to give you compliments. Least that's how I see it.

I agree with Baka, do what you like. Don't care about what others might think. But if you're not happy with yourself you should do something about it.

I speak for myself, but I agree with Baka When I go to the gym, I go to work on myself I don't care if people look at me, they don't matter, I'm never gonna interact with em or see them outside I'm there to improve on myself and people can judge all they want, its gonna happen regardless But also some people respect you for putting in the effort that you want to improve Thats the way I see it, If some dude is there to lose weight, I respect that, I'm never gonna put someone down for it I've gained confidence by not caring what other people think when I'm trying to improve on myself

Compliments don’t automatically relate to attraction, and shouldn’t be interpreted as such, but it’s no secret that generally speaking, people who stand out more in a positive way are going to get more compliments. Attraction is just one of those “positive standouts”. I generally use compliments to show appreciation for something I think someone put a lot of work in. But like i’m Asexual. XD
