Why do people treat you better when you’re fit? Not like ”tehee girls check me out”, but everything from your professors and friends at uni, colleagues and your boss at work, the cashiers at the grocery store, the old lady in the neighborhood, everyone just is more kind to you
Fear
I refuse to believe people find you threatening just because you are fit
One of my criteria for judgement of a man is whether I can kill them in hand to hand combat. If they might be able to kill me I simply respect them more.
it isn't fear, but respect.
Every now and again I get people (mostly men) telling me how they admire my physique.
The average person is out of shape or fat depending on where you live. If you're lean and reasonably muscular you will stand out.
these
Guys won't say shit to your face if you're bigger and leaner. Roided up tho.
it's not conscious, but it's there. all they're aware of is that they feel the need to appease you
People started being nicer to me after I got cauliflower ear. Coworkers don't argue as much ect.
Inferiority, not fear
Not for me. People were more intimidated and defensive.
Because you might be able to beat them up
I respect people who take care of themselves same time as I respect a guy if he take care of his car.
I used to sell cars and the amount of people that didn't keep up with maintenance or even bother clean their vehicles blew my mind. People are so stupid they will just drive around in broken ass cars and don't even know or care. bald tires, grinding troony, fricked alignment, squishy brakes, "hehe yeah it's just old"...
Back in my day blowing a troony was a car problem.
>“But it’s just for going from A to B”
>choker
these have always driven me fricking crazy
Yes. They give you free shit and lie and steal and kill for you. They break rules for you even if you don't ask them to. They assume you're innocent even when you're guilty. I love women. God made them this way on purpose.
>anon had to stop Galway’s through this gay post to specify he wasn’t gay
I’ve been skinny/unfit as a teenager and became fit in my mid 20s (now 34 years old). I’m 5’8” and 158 lbs and overall very lean.
Everybody is always kind to me ever since becoming fit. I was a terminally online autist (khv) and the good treatment I received from people ended up allowing me to change to a fully functioning and sociable adult. When you are treated well you are also more likely to adopt a positive disposition which further encourages positive interactions. It also means you can make more mistakes socially while you figure out how to play the game.
These days life is legitimately sunshine and rainbows. I will never allow myself to get out of good shape or become unfit. Life has become so amazing because of it.
I think a big part is that people respect results and discipline. Nobody respects somebody who doesn’t respect themselves (which shows by their habits and body)
it shows you can start something and stick to it just like why people treat someone in some kind of uniform (military police fireman paramedic ect) better because there doing something that they are not.
It's subconscious; there's no reason for it. Like how you automatically get more respect for being tall or not being a woman.
the halo effect is real, and it is literally natural and instinctual, just like tribalism
the ultimate black pill - you either win or lose at life, at your birth.
Ugly -> bullied, shunned, leads to horrible mental states.
Pretty -> good social circle, relatively easy life, easy pussy, great mental health
Instinctive fear. The basis of all authority and respect is violence, so if you look like you're capable of overwhelming violence it triggers something ancient in people's lizard brains.
I've actually had people be nasty to me for being IST. I get comments about "h-haha ur a tryhard!" and "w-well you just think you're an alpha male and that's bad because-." Women will almost always treat you better, but men are hit and miss. Some of them have that "I need to cut this guy down and win a battle with him so I can preserve my genes and get some pussy thrown my way," so they get mouthy.
This. Dyels have become more defensive and passive agressive with "but u dont get women, but i am thinner, but why do you want muscles if you dont use them, but i enjoy food, but you could look better, but women dont like muscled guys, but but but but but". Men who work out and women are more friendly to me. Ive even cut contact with family members because they say ive become an butthole, when in reality im now confident enough to speak my opinions because when i was a fatso with zero self steem they walked over me all the time saying the most moronic shit a normie can say and i wouldnt even disagree out of feeling like a piece of shit. Some relatives got super offended because when i made my change of diet i refused to eat at their house because they fed themselves with greasy pastas, pizzas and burgers, and their childrens diet consisted of fries, cookies and candy. Those are just a few examples.
this. I'm a manlet and beforehand I was invisible, and it's insane how aggressive people are towards me. DYEL lanklets will bring up my height more in a month than they ever did in the last 27 years of my life.
People have always been nice to me but older women definitely have gotten more touchy feely as I’ve gotten older and bigger. I don’t mind it, outside of whatever social contact I have a few times a month with real life people I’m basically invisible so any attention at all is nice.
People legitimately treat me worse as a fit 5'6" than when I was skinny. People are angrier towards me and sometimes make fun of me for some reason. I dress normally, too. Never happened when I was a pussyboy
A short person that visibly works out is like a minority ceo or something. It’s seen as being “uppity” and not accepting your caste.
Go out in lifts and witness the face of evil
People are evil, moronic animals. That’s it really. If being rich were visible, even if it made you ugly, people would be nicer to people with that look too. Because it might benefit them.
Judge people by how they treat someone that they think can do nothing for them.
Apply that often enough to see patterns and realize that 999 out of 1000 “people” are evil, moronic animals.
May the stars be wiped clean of sentience inshallah
Be the change you wish to see in the world and kys, homosexual.
Maybe because you have one good thing about you instead of none? I've always been liked in my community because of who I am, fit or not, so I've noticed no difference.
because if you look like you respect yourself, then they play ball and ante up a token bit of respect from that.
Being overweight is a sure sign that you are a worthless piece of shit
but where does confidence come into the equation. ever since I made a 180 in the way I approach life I defiantly seem better around everyone now that I'm all cool and shit.
The people that talk about muh confidence and saying it’s that are legit gaslighting in the true sense.
It’s appearance, and then sometimes after you get treated better you start acting more confident because people are treating you like a human.
I once met a woman that was a bit fat and knew she’d been thin her entire life and gained weight recently (which she later brought up on her own to confirm) because she had the confidence level of a thin person.
yeah even in the gym more guys are chatting me up
Being in shape (not fat or scrawny) shows you have self-respect and self-control.
Also there is no reason to be nice to a person without self-respect, because they will just assume you are patronizing them or project some other deranged insecurity onto you.
Asuming that humans subconsciously seek to make a better society with their actions: being fit is a desirable trait in a social individual (healthy, strong, responsible mindset), just like being social or intelligent. People having a good attitude towards you is a positive feedback for you to keep being fit; they want you, a superior being, to participate in society. People who want to be at the top of society (having better traits to live in society thus monopolizing female attention and general resources) will seek to compete with you.
summary: people like you in general when you have visible good traits
considered from the converse, a person's body also display their vices, gluttony, sloth, etc. even fat people are repulsed by other fat people, which suggests an instinctive rejection of visible moral vice. the irony is that the criticism of physiognomy is that a person's face can't possibly reflect their moral character a priori, but when you consider the body total it absolutely does. there are sins which can't be hidden
>even fat people are repulsed by other fat people
No they aren’t lol
The DNA that built your brain spent a frickton more time developing as an animal in a might-makes-right world than it did as a thinking hominid. Even attributing this fact to a rational thought process like respecting commitment or inferring other competencies is a step too far. Animals arrange their social structures around hierarchies of genetic quality and the lowest common denominator measure of that is raw physical power.
They absolutely are, in fact they're often more repulsed by other fatties than normal people are because they project their own insecurity and self-hatred. What you hate in others always reveals what you hate in yourself and vice versa.
They don’t though.
Im 5 5 manlet 230 pounds 13 percent bodyfat
People have treated me nicer and call me big
manletbros the numbers are on our side
Because you must earn your fitness. Most people wish they were in shape. Seeing someone who is in shape garners instant respect from most people because they want what you have or they at least know it takes dedication and work to achieve. There is a small subset of jealous people who will think you are stupid or below average iq but obviously these people don't matter. Everyone likes a winner.
i'm not fit enough to be treated noticeably better but now that i'm no longer a heinous fatass i did notice that women no longer try to avoid my look when one on one and that my politeness makes people smile more and for longer
I’m 6’3. Usually around 212 natty, 200 lean. It was alright, despite the height memes and a decent physique for a natty I wouldn’t say people were intimidated by me at all. After 3 cycles and hitting 230 lean there is definitely a difference. People disrespect you way less and even when they do it just feels weird. Like it’s unnatural for everyone involved. And there’s more lust from women but also maybe some fear. When I was natty I got compliments from women and did fine but they always saw me as relationship material. The kind of guy you settle down with which in normal times would be fine but in present day America it’s a tough pill to swallow, being the landing pad for a woman who’s had years of crazy sex with lots of different men and decides she wants to play housewife and have tall intelligent good looking well behaved children. Post gear it definitely feels more like primal attraction and not born again prude attraction
5'11 lifting for around 6 months 4-5 times a week, still fat and dyel but no longer morbidly obese. I do notice a difference when talking to woman and people in general. Wgmi
A combination of the Halo Effect and the physically imitidating nature of being faced with someone bigger. It really is that simple.
This.
>obviously you care about yourself and have the ability to push your body to t become what you desire it to be
You look like you have your shit together and will be treated as such.
