    I’m 39. These days I explicitly work out to be in good shape for sex. I want to look good when I pop the top, and attracting partners is a core goal of mine.

    I’ve never in my life been hurting for confidence, and was confident when I was 40 lbs heavier - I just looked worse with my shirt off.

    If you’re chasing low-commitment sex, at some point your physical attractiveness does indeed matter.

      That’s fair but from the people I speak to, who exercise consistently, they do it for themselves primarily. I don’t know many people who exercise exclusively to attract women and not also enjoy being in shape just for themselves whether its to feel good, or be more confident.

      Personally I do cardio, not because of attracting someone but because I literally feel so much better on a daily basis when I do. My sleep is better, I have more energry, etc.
