9 Comments

I have been working out and dieting for 3 years, i am 5'8 150lb, people say that i look muscular but i think i look small. I only feel like i am muscular or good looking while working out or shortly after. I have been dealing with depression for 5 years and have a very low self esteem. I am 17 and want to have a girlfriend but i feel like it is impossible for me to get one. I am addicted to lifting and eating healthy. I have never gone to a school dance and it is killing me inside. I am not socially awkward, i just do not have am self confidence when i talk to a girl i am interested in.

    You're using the word 'bipolar' wrong.

    "Fluctuating self-esteem" you mean?
    I'd look into the mirror and think,I don't look so bad. And then after a while I'd find myself horrendously unpleasing to look at in the face. Yes, it is completely normal.
    As for your confidence in talking to the opposite sex, you'd have to build up courage and be yourself. It's the inside that counts most, no?

    Strange that you're still shy after lifting for so long. Normally bodybuilding/fitness of whatever you call it turns you into a hyper-confident manic. I would know. We all have our days of depression though.

    One point - you don't need a girlfriend. Don't act like it's something you like require to be happy. You should be happy alone first, and then women will find you attractive. A needy little bitch isn't attractive. Just word your way up to hot girls if you're shy with them at the moment. So start off by talking to ugly fat bitches. Girls you don't care about. Like, random check out girls. Women are all human and all the same. Build up to it.

    It's normal to feel sort of pumped after working out, I'm sure there is a scientific reason behind it. I honestly I think it's just normal, at least for me, some days I look nice, some days awful, some days in between, don't know what else to tell you.

    Yeah I'm pretty similar to you. But I've found that girls respect a guy who respects himself, thats an attractive quality. More so than anything. Ugly guys get hot girls all the time just because they have swagger, true story. Looks don't matter as much to women.

    If you're a muscular and fit guy who's not assertive with people then you're just a meaty bitch. Sorry to put it so bluntly, I'm trying to inspire you. Point is, whether you are fit and attractive or not- it really doesn't matter as much as you think it does. Treat the women like you deserve them, and see if they bite. Its how you treat them that gets ladies in the long run. What do you have to lose?

    There's nothing stopping you. Go get it.
