Hello /fa/, /fit/izen and /roid/er here.

Please help me to understand your fascination with clothing.

You guys invest a lot of time and money into improving your appearance through clothing, when if you had the same zeal for lifting and getting aesthetic, you could all be approaching Zyzzmode.

Who is Rick?

And I'm being serious. I'm not trying to be offensive or troll, I am legitimately curious.

From my perspective, clothes are incredibly temporary, whereas your body is (for as long as you are alive) permanent.

To me, what's the point in looking incredibly superficially attractive if, after the clothes come off, she is greeted with a mediocre and unappealing body?

Dude you're fucking up, but I'll bite.

Rick Owens is a fuccboi clothes designer, it's not relevant, forget about him (he does lift though).

Clothes are temporary, muscle gains can be as well if you don't maintain them. Everything is temporary, what sort of an argument is that anyway?

Also, about the "when the clothes come off", you're implying that all women are attracted to the exact same body type.
Most women care about a sense of humour above most things.

Also, why the fuck are you lifting weights for women anyway? You should be doing it for yourself not other people, the same thing with clothing, I dress nicely because I want to, not because I want to impress other.

The fact you actually took roids to impress women is fucking pathetic dude, we don't have to take jack shit from you.
Also, not every /fa/ggot isn't /fit/.

I'm not trying to give anyone shit, it's just something that has always made me curious.

I do it for the girls because I was overweight and unattractive growing up, and it really fucked with me mentally.

I started lifting, lost weight and gained a little bit of muscle, and people started to notice me.

I hopped on gear, and I have women left and right telling me how hot I am and how they want to fuck me.

It's all superficial, and I know they don't care for anything but my body, but man is it a good feeling to hear some shit like that.

But anyways, that's what /fit/ does. It turns you into a roiding faggot with horrible body dysmorphia.

Oh wait you don't know that feel because you don't lift.
Once you actually get that little spark in your mind when you stand in front of the mirror realising your jeans are actually a little too long or you really like a jumper for no reason but you'd like to buy something similar , then you can come back and we'll help nurture that interest.

Alright, that's fair enough I'm not going to judge your life too much.

I've been complimented on the clothes I wear before by girls and it does happen to people on /fa/ quite often, that too is a nice feeling.
But once again none of us (I really hope) don't dress for women, but it's always welcome.

You wont understand because you don't have any interest at all , it's that simple.
You can't write down things like that because they lack the impact that the feeling has.
I personally see fashion as a work of art , an expression of myself , a technical science , ways to keep myself fully functional and something that makes me feel better about myself.

When I got /fit/ and dressed like shit, straight guys would compliment and me a lot and mention how I looked buffer. A few girls noticed, but not many. One girl told me I had a nice ass.

When I got /fa/ straight guys started thinking I was "cool" and the popular guys(I was in high school when I first go into fashion) started talking to me and inviting me to parties. Girls fawn over me and always talk about how I look so cool and classy and have great style. My friend tells me that girls I know will talk to him about how good I look, and it seems like people just find me generally more interesting. Workers in stores and malls treat me more respectfully. The tight clothes accentuate my physique and now I regularly get compliments on my physique from girls, especially about my ass.

I'd say it's the exact opposite. Who's a girl gonna pick? Channing Tatum wearing a binbag, or a manlet asian wearing Rick Owens?

I'd say fashion is number one on the list of things irrelevant to attracting the opposite sex. You might IMPRESS them. I think it's good for standing out in a crowd and looking rich.

Those are things which actually DO make a difference. That's why I got the Raf sweater, 'cause I know a guy in bright pink will stick out like a sore thumb in any nightlife environment.

it sounds made up, but I swear it isn't. The whole experience has made me kind of sad, because I've come to realize how shallow everyone in. I guess people just assume that well dressed people are rich or important or something. To be fair, I dressed exceptionally bad before, way way below average, so maybe it's the transformation that's impressed everybody.

This is absolutely true.

Clothing send a far greater image than physique, and can be tailored to an individual group type/cross-section of person.

Fitness is casting a wide net and raking it what's caught, the fish with the floating islands of garbage.

Furthermore, many people associate /fit/ness with meathead "bro" culture and file your entirety under "ignore". A well dressed person (appropriate for age/culture/situation) will always attract attention from everyone, and any detractors do so because they "jelly" or are crybaby bet's from /fa/.

Take into account also the seasons/local climate. Summer may be prime time for /fit/ness, but in the winter (again depending on local climate) a /fa/shonista will outgame any /fit/ness because clothing.

tl,dr /fa/ will get more chicks than /fit/. No matter what /fit/ tells you

>tl,dr /fa/ will get more chicks than /fit/.
I actually agreed with many of the things you said, but I don't agree with your conclusion. Clothing is more expressive than your naked body (unless you have tons of tattoos I guess). Being muscular is going to attract more women than wearing some certain genre of clothing will. I.E. scene chicks, vintage hipster chicks, corny "normal" chicks, and even /fa/'s idea of "fashionable" girls (corny internet chicks) will all be attracted to fitness. Whereas wearing scene clothes will mainly attract just scene girls, wearing shitty indie band shirts will mainly attract the hipster girls etc.

But being "/'fa/" isn't ever going to get you more chicks than being fit will. Doesn't even matter what your idea of /fa/ is, be it head to toe Rick Owens, boring but wearable "dadcore", or the blandest SLP shit. Girls simply don't give that much of a shit about what you're wearing.

You even contradicted yourself lol.
>Fitness is casting a wide net and raking it what's caught, the fish with the floating islands of garbage.
>tl,dr /fa/ will get more chicks than /fit/

First you want to say fitness gets more women but the women are lower quality overall. Then you want to say fashion just gets more. But why is it you assume the "lower quality" women wouldn't also be attracted to fashionable men...? You even go on to say
>A well dressed person (appropriate for age/culture/situation) will always attract attention from everyone, and any detractors do so because they "jelly" or are crybaby bet's from /fa/.
>everyone

So what is it? Make up your mind.

>a /fa/shonista will outgame any /fit/ness because clothing.
In reality whether or not some dude outgames you has little IF ANYTHING to do with how fit or fashionable either of you are. It has more to do with whether or not you're a cool person to be around and how good looking you are (I don't mean how muscular, but I mean your facial structure and body frame).

And that's not to say that /fit/ness is bad. In fact, the two should be the yin/yang to one another, but if your angle is women, /fa/ is better.

Some people like stoner metal, some people like IDM.
Some people like the HUEG guy aesthetic, some people like the /fa/ggot aesthetic.

Currently I started lifting but mostly to get strong as I want to get back into MMA, don't plan on roiding not because of any phobia, but mostly I don't want hueg dude aesthetic.
Muscles are certainly fine, and I do recommend people chill with the super skinny auschwitz mode, just people have different tastes.

Fitness, lifting, etc. is more of a means to an end. You are into lifting and bodybuilding because you want to look good, whether for own personal reasons, to get chicks, whatever the fuck you want.


While a lot of people also view clothing in that way, people who are into fashion are into it for the fashion. People don't necessarily dress in high fashion (or whatever aesthetic they dig) to impress people so much as to enjoy a hobby.

It's not really a fascination, it's more of a hobby tbh. Lifting can't really be considered a hobby because it's more about achieving a certain goal that one is aiming for, whether it be in terms of health, bench marks, or aesthetics.

With fashion it's not so much a goal, but rather a personal style that one develops and grows. These style can change, because a person changes their personality. I view fashion as a means to present yourself to the world. You want people to be able to determine what vibe you give off at first glance.

Not everyone needs to become roided huge, Ive been lifting for over 2.5 years natty & have no need to roid because that sort of mass will interfer with my Muay Thai training for example.
Everyone has their reasons, dont be so narrow-minded.
