Episode notes
Body As An Index Of Effectiveness
- Physical appearance indexes how well your whole body and genes work.
- Women read bodies as signals of physiological effectiveness and parenting/partner potential.
Prioritize Lean, Healthy Shape Over Bulk
- You don't need to be a bodybuilder; just look like you care about your body.
- Aim for being in shape with modest muscle tone rather than huge hypertrophy.
Intimidation ≠ Female Attraction
- The body that intimidates male rivals (very large) is not the same as what women find most attractive.
- Women often prefer swimmer/actor physiques over massively muscular physiques.
