Being fit changes the dating game
5 things I’ve noticed becoming jacked regarding attraction
Growing up, my dating life was pretty horrendous.
I got bullied a crap ton, which left a massive dent in my confidence — and I had insane social anxiety.
Oh yeah, and I was skinny.
That combination didn’t exactly make me an attractive candidate to date.
So, that’s exactly what I didn’t do a lot of when I was younger:
Dating.
Fast forward years later — I got jacked and socially calibrated. My dating life flipped upside down.
I actually became a desirable person to date, and I started attracting a lot of women.
Yeah, I know how it sounds — it sounds super douchey.
But I have to say it how it is. Because I came from a place where dating didn’t exist for me.
And let’s be honest — everyone wants to attract a high-quality partner.
And being fit makes that game a lot easier.
Yet somehow, a lot of guys still ignore how much physical appearance matters.
And for women? It should be obvious that looks matter.
Here are 5 things I’ve noticed since becoming jacked:
1. Looks matter.
We live in a vain world — and it’s only getting more vain.
Why?
Social media.
The people who go viral on socials are usually fit, good-looking, and glowing with vitality.
And we’re bombarded with that imagery every day.
The average person consumes over 4 hours of screen time daily.
That’s a lot of subconscious conditioning to value looks.
Whether we like it or not — the brainwashing is real.
We’re taught to worship beauty.
And that affects how people view you, too.
2. It’s super rare.
Social media makes it look like everyone is walking around with a six-pack and perfect jawline.
But in real life?
That’s not the case.
Only a small fraction of people are actually fit.
Why?
Because life is easier than ever.
You can order food from your phone.
You rarely walk.
Most "food" is hyper-caloric, engineered for addiction, and easy to get.
Being fit used to be common. Now it’s rare.
And humans are wired to be drawn to what’s rare.
It signals value — just like a rare gem or limited drop.
The same applies to your body.
3. The halo effect is real.
This isn’t a myth. It’s a psychological fact.
Attractive people are automatically assumed to have other positive traits:
Smart. Kind. Competent. Confident.
It’s called the halo effect — and it’s been proven over and over in studies.
It works both ways, too:
Unattractive or unhealthy-looking people often get subconsciously tagged with negative qualities.
Is it fair? No.
But it’s real.
And in a way, it makes sense — because being fit today takes discipline, commitment, and self-respect.
People can sense that.
4. Lust is powerful.
We forget that underneath all our tech, status, and social structures — we’re still animals.
You can have money, clout, the right job title…
But none of that touches raw, biological lust.
We are sexual creatures.
And we are biologically programmed to be drawn to strong, fit, healthy-looking bodies.
It’s primal.
And primal > social rules.
Don’t believe me?
Look at how many wealthy people cheat with trainers, waiters, and fitness models.
Happens all the time.
Lust doesn’t care about your resume.
5. Confidence hits different.
This is the biggest one.
When you like the way you look, you trust yourself.
When you trust yourself, people feel it.
Building your dream body is a journey that forces you to bet on yourself — again and again.
No one’s pushing you.
No one’s watching you.
It’s all on you.
And when you do show up for yourself day after day?
That builds unshakable confidence.
Your body becomes a mirror of your self-belief.
And people are magnetized by that energy.
