I am speaking on real life experience though. I know/take part in a lot of workout/running groups that help out of shape people get in shape and become healthier and I see first hand their transformation and the confidence rise.
Plus I don't even see people here talking about 8-9's, they talking about yambs and sometimes yambs are yambs are yambs. No one is saying that getting a six pack automatically gets you Halle Berry but it definitely helps.
What's your definition of "bagging" an 8-9 though? Because with your Aston, that challenge isn't going to be that difficult here in LA.

I've seen some women go crazy over defined biceps. I've never had big biceps or been very vascular, smh.

But you aren't reading the replies correctly. We've been saying it gives confidence, it makes it easier, getting someone to actually be with you and say "I do" is completely different.
And no one is saying "screw your social skills, go do some squats and you're set in life". People are simply saying it helps. Is it that hard to understand?
Again I have first hand experience, both fat going to fit and skinny going to buff (admittedly there are more overweight than skinny but there are a handful of them skinny dudes too), it makes it much easier for them when they aren't conscious about their body. I've seen them in clubs and parties actually approach women while before, when they were out of shape, they'd sit in the corner drinking not socializing. I've also seen women approach these dudes.
Again, go read and understand what is being said before you reply back. No one is saying being fit = you are set in life when it comes to women, it doesn't mean you'll marry your dream girl without effort and that is what you are getting at with "all dudes in the gyms wouldn't be single" none sense.
Just like you talking about bagging 8-9's, you are just creating this whole conversation in your head because I don't recall anyone saying that it's automatic with a 6pack..

I have to somewhat agree with you guys there (to an extent).
No offense to anyone but you have to work a lot more towards women if you are not fit. Sure there are exceptions but that isn't the norm and not many dudes could go up to a woman and talk to them, even if you are just normal build.
Being fit can definitely provide that extra boost in confidence.
Don't even lie because I know some of you had this happen to you, when talking to a chick and you're wearing a short sleeve shirt and the sleeve hugs your arms, you see them looking and following it with their eyes when you move or flex like a dog follows the treats in your hands.
As a being of superior vascularity and mass, I hate being objectified by the women of today's society.

Stretchy denim is a gift from the gods.

I clearly stated it would help, but not to the extent that you guys dream about and read/watch on the internet, T.V. and magazines.
I honestly don't find it any more difficult approaching women when I was skinnier, or when I'm in my STI rather than my AM.
and it's not like I'm walking up to them like this.
And "you" equals everyone? Again you are the only one reading up more than what people are posting. You translated getting confidence to "8-9 begging for your d" and being fit means automatic wife.
obviously it takes more than appearance to keep a chick in a relationship.

Everybody is making great points. Sometimes it's good to reflect on why we "dress better" in the first place lol

How is the article giving off misleading misinformation? Do you even know who Neil Patel is (without having to Google him)?

But see now you are going to clothes all of a sudden when you and I are specifically talking about being fit. I was talking about being in better and how it opens doors (gives confidence to try and then fail and learn than not try at all) and it is up to you and your personality and social skills to keep the chick or smash. You just keeps going off of the tangent and started talking bagging 8-9s and gym rats being married.
I don't think anyone is arguing with you that the clothes will keep you employed if you don't know what you are talking about, in the end you have to know what you are doing for your job but you do only have one chance to make a first impression.

Look up Crazy Egg, KISSMetrics, etc. Do some research before you risk sounding dumber than you usually do.
He, more so than most people, can talk about how to become a success.

I get how it relates to DB, though. But there in also runs the luck, coincidences, dominos that have to fall into place for the level of success he's achieved to happen to the common member of this thread.
I can be in MAB, Carmina, with a basic Daniel Wellington every single day, but never run into a Carmina afficionado, who is big wig at Carmina office, who wants me to head all Spanish distribution, allowing me to upgrade my DW to an IWC, continuing that cycle and so forth. That initial connection that spring boards everything else is the hardest part, imo. Majority people never get the opportunity or luck to make that first interaction/partnership
His story tells one of a very minuscule minority that can't necessarily be translated into everyone's daily happenings, in my opinion.

Now go back to my original post, and try to read and decipher the reason to why I went into being fit and getting women.
Once this impossible task has been accomplished, maybe you wouldn't have such a hard time understanding the words that I am posting and the reasoning behind them.
Take your time.
I read it....
And that is one dumb statement because that isn't what was being stated.
Sorry to break it to you but you might be a bit illiterate as you can't seem to understand what people are saying and separate different ideas?
Again most/all are saying is that being fit opens up doors, it gives confidence, it lets people talk to chicks than being out of shape and being afraid. Do you understand this?
No one is saying having a six pack gets you a wife or a girlfriend or instant smash or that you'll be bagging 8-9s. NO ONE! Do you get that? Do you understand that?
And people could learn, if working out gets them comfortable enough to talk to women and fail then they can learn from mistake, can't they?
But I guess you don't understand that, to you "a lame is always a lame"? Right? No point in working out to get some women attracted because if you ain't got game, you ain't never gon' get 'em, right?
Sorry we aren't as smooth as you or as smart or charming as you or as successful as you. Really, we are not worthy so please, I beg of you, spare us of your presence and never return. Thanks you kindly!

I found this pretty funny.
Back in the 90's my pops spent a minimum of 1k on suits and shoes. Fastforward to now he barely spends 200 on a suit including alterations.
In 2012 we went on a business trip/ sisters graduation to NYC. While he worked I shopped. I found Suit Supply and thought my pops would love it, I was
wrong. He didn't even want to see the place, saying they were to expensive. We all get dressed for my sisters graduation and I think i'm doing it. Pop's hands
me an envelope, $1.5 million check and told me he made that wearing his "cheap" suit, then he asked what did you make.
He told me "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. If that pig could speak only then will people stop to listen".

Looking for a clean/simple watch that i can wear with nice clothes. Can anyone point me in the direction of some brands? (Not looking to break the bank on this, something under $200)

At the end of the day it is all about hard work and dedication and it doesn't hurt if you love what you do.
With that said, there are always an exception. I know a few people whose success is all about who they know and that is why I always say never pass up a chance to network.

@WhatCanISay, Is English your first language? Just curious.
And what did your parents do to earn their wealth?
Edit: Don't misinterpret that as hate either. Your post content of your posts has peaked my interest as a fly on the wall.
