The story I'm about to say, is 1000% true story or else I die a horrible death.

Background of me - Just recently hit 30. Used to be a 175cm, 85kg slightly overweight guy swiping dating apps hoping to find someone. But no matches at all, within 6-month period I can count with just one hand how many matches I got. And even from those matches, within a while will just ghost me even though I really did put in effort to have a conversation. Ultimately, no dates wanna go out with me in that 6 months period.

Just totally no quality matches at all. Even those non-lookers that matched me don't reply back.

Then I decide to overhaul my appearance.

Went to lose weight. Dropped all the way from 85kg to around 68-69kg.
Train a bit of arms. But of course not as bulky as those fitzai gymbros.
Drop my glasses and went for contact lenses. But ultimately went for lasik.
Went and gotten a Korean-style haircut, and learning how to style my hair.
Went for braces and now rocking straight teeth. Also did a bit of teeth whitening.
Learning to dress better than t-shirt and jeans. Think denim jackets, flannel outerwear, long sleeve shirts etc
And also looking for specific clothings that fit nicely to my body shape (this is sneakily important)


Suddenly I have much much more matches than I could ever imagine, even though I swipe like only 10%-20% of the time. Every other day I can get matches from dating apps.

At my peak I'm talking to like 7+ girls concurrently from dating apps. And from there I managed to ask out various girls to go on dates.

And have been going out on dates almost on a weekly basis. Like 1-2 new girls every week / every other week. And mind you, in my opinion some of the girls I met are pretty cute (I don't go out with whatever girls I can match with).

My most extreme was meeting 4 different girls in a week. One on weekday dinner, another 2 on Saturday lunch and dinner respectively, and one more on Sunday dinner.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to show off that I am able to go on tremendous amount of dates.

But what I want you all to know is, girls are just like guys and they are also superficial. Things girls say like "inner beauty is the most important", that's a huge pile of bollocks if you ask me. End of the day, appearance attracts and if you're not attractive physically, they don't even want to bother with knowing you on a deeper level / let you show off your inner beauty.

Maybe its the dating app thing - first thing apps show you is the pictures. And people are quick to just form their interest in you through your appearance.

But ya this is my story.
And moral of the story? Be a looker if you want to use dating apps, or expect no matches. No matter how much inner beauty you have.
u telling bbfa to lose weight? :frown:

When you change its not just appearance, but your entire inner core also, including your mindset and character

Not all guys suit the buffed up looks one.

I am 175 height, weight 62-63 kg and many girls dig my appearance. But I realise that if I go down to 58-59 kg, girls my age (30s) will think I am XDD and don’t treat me seriously. And I will get alot more attention from girls at age 18-24 years old. So I strive to maintain my weight at 62-63 kg which I realise I get most assurance from people of all ages, not just from specific age group

You might think that is skinny but actually skinny is as skinny does, at least wearing layered clothes will look proper and decent. Buffed up bodies wear coat and blazers will look fat. Skinny wear layered looks perfect. Think Andy Lau and you get what I mean. Wear anything also look good
Think generally for guy, a toned slightly muscular body always made a guy looks better, even for an average looking guy. Perhaps cause easier to make more clothing fit better thus look better.

Just like those average looking girl with very shapely figure or hot bod, it will tend raise the attractiveness by a few notch. Enhance the look that much more.

But think too buffed up a look is not for many. Especially for Asian smaller build perhaps.

Think a toned slightly muscular body is good enough. Too big size muscular build, unless can maintain all the way till old. If not, when don't train tend will become fat body. Quite pai-kuah one. Not wise to do it.

See alot of those pro bodybuilder during their off season when they don't train as much, they become bui bui body. Only when they got competition then they train to gain back their muscular build, other than that cannot see the muscle much one, fat more. :s22:

Anyway think a well toned body, with nice body shape tend will push up the attractiveness up a few notches regardless of gender. Even if looks is average only. Thus want to look better as an overall package should keep up exercise and train up abit bah. Not necessary just for young people. :s22:
