As a 12 year old said to his gym teacher the other day.. muscles arent going to get me thru college or pay the bills. Why do I need muscles like yours?
well, that is about priorities.
muscles are not supposed to pay the bills, so why demand this from them?
but I think that keeping yourself in form is something as compulsory, as cleaning your teeth or washing, and at the same time it is a sign of respect to your sexual partner...
Some people prefer to get girls with the money. They spend time on earning money, and it results in a fat ugly guy with sexy chick... But I do not want to be one of that guys, even though he might fuck beautiful girl - their sex is not based on mutual desire. I think it is very important thing - to arouse physical desire in your partner.
For example, if some chick fucks with me cuz I am "very clever", "rich", "kind and interesting" or cuz I am a president of a big company and she wants to recieve a good job and to make a career through that fuck, or if she have any other non-sexual interest - it is not my cup of tea. I do not want it. It won't give me pleasure.
For me sex is interesting only when the girl wants it. And there is no other motivation, expect her lust and desire.
I could imagine two girls: one of them holds a PhD, is very clever and spend a lot of time at the library, thinks about her future, has brilliant career etc... But she does not give a heck about her body. She has different priorities, and spend her time not in a fitness centre or a beauty salon. And the second chick is quite the opposite: she is sexy as hell, and she works a lot to keep herself in shape and to be sexy.
The second one is better to my mind :dunno: ..This is more successfull and better and happy life in my understanding. In general,
to be popular among opposite gender - is one of the most important components of happiness! It works in equal measure for males and females. Figurally, I want to be the second chick from my example. Not the first.
So I better do my best to be an object of desire,
cuz finally it gives me more happiness than any other activity that I can spend my time on.
That's how I see things. Though, of course, working out does not automatically mean that you don't have no time for the rest things in the life. It is about right balance, as usual, but still body - is very important thing.
