And if she works outside the home, be sure to send those flowers to the office. It wouldn’t hurt if you sent them for no particular reason now and then, too.

@MarvinStinson

Why do you post such nonsense? If you actually believe such crap, then post a supportive link. Will ya?

A simple Google search would do the trick. Jeeze!

For the rest of us fellas, he’s the guy who introduced us boys in the 60’s and 70’s to bodybuilding.

Your understanding is dated, the current acronym is LGBTQjudenrein.

It is of utmost importance to them that they remain clean of Jews. It’s who they are.

Weider is the cause of the poisoning of bodybuilding with steroids.

Look it up yourself.

My grandmother dated a collegiate wrestler when she was attending San Jose State. She remarked that he was very attractive if you could get beyond his overly muscular physique, which was primarily associated with laborers.

Years later California elected a weightlifter governor, and my grandmother's analysis proved to be timeless and highly accurate.

Spot on.

When intimacy dies after children arrive, as so often happens, those niceties become much less heart-felt, though.

More and more men are finding it an undesirable, pride-less and ensnaring scenario, hence MGTOW.

You left off the most important one... a large... billfold.

Women will not fall in love with a man whom they do not admire, for some quality. Some women admire athletes, other women admire wit. Others admire men who are successful in business. The common factor is that the man has "high status". A woman will not want to be with a man, if she is embarrassed to be seen with by her friends. They want an "alpha male". Just look at the romance books that women buy. The leading man is never "Joe from Accounting" (unless Joe is secretly a pirate captain on the side).

Then, there are the women who "settle". If they fail to attract an alpha, then they will settle for a beta male, but only if he has money. If she's "settled", that does not necessarily mean she won't have affairs with alphas on the side.

The term is "alpha f*cks, beta bucks".

Adonis and some of those other magazines were flat out gay porn,
The man had feet of clay, and you know it.

If you really believe that filth isn’t gay porn, then go ahead and post covers from Adonis and axplain to the moderators how it isn’t gay porn.

https://www.musclesmokeandmirrors.com/ <—— This is a good book, I think this is where it is asserted that one of those old bodybuilding magazines; by its nature attracted gays. In a way, that could pertain today.

“Q: You mentioned Irvin Johnson. Aside from his expertise in nutrition and early supplementation, he also created Tomorrow’s Man, a physique magazine aimed at the gay male audience. Was that what motivated Joe Weider to start magazines like Adonisand Body Beautiful? Was he trying to capture a part of the gay market and compete with Johnson? And is this one of the reasons why Bob Hoffman went after Weider with such personal venom?

A: Hoffman was really frustrated with Joe. Was Joe a bodybuilder first, or was he a businessman first? Did he have a homosexual orientation, or would he just stop at nothing to make money, in any market?”

- https://www.t-nation.com/training/dark-side-of-bodybuilding

So what Marvin wrote, may not be without foundation. Now, did Weider, if he did it, do it as a Capitalist? Perhaps.

Also, bodybuilding, being a strong man has had its share of doping obviously. It probably has a lot of good stuff too.

A favorite of mine was Joe Rollino, Coney Island strongman, World War II hero, was hit by a van a few years ago during his morning walk. He was 102 I believe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Rollino

Unfortunately, bodybuilding back in the day did have an audience in that direction. They may still. It’s almost a sub-genre I’d say.

Still, weightlifting, kettlebells, all of that, keeping in shape is fascinating stuff.

I remember my grandmother being tickled that when she sat in church with her husband, all the other ladies were remarking at how handsome he was, with what broad shoulders.

It’s not that females in older days didn’t appreciate these things; it was just all somewhat more sublimated.

My experience after many decades of this is that a man can't make any particular woman like him. He has to establish who he is, first, and then women who like him will appear naturally. Latching on to one particular woman (usually due to her looks) and then to the exclusion of all others trying to make her like him is a fool's game. She will or she won't - that really isn't anything he can change.

The best advice to give a young man: don't marry the girl you love. Marry the girl who loves YOU. If she's really into you, then she will make an effort to keep you happy. If she just "settled" for you, then she will make continuous demands on you to make HER happy (note, this doesn't mean you shouldn't make your best effort to do things to make her happy, it means that whatever you do is unlikely to make her happy for long, if she's just not that into you).

And in today's culture, only non-whites can be Alpha Males.

Look at all the women, the "bad boy" rappers and athletes are dating.
