According To Vin Dicarlo Working Out Is Killing Your Chances With Women

I was just browsing PUAHate.com after a long absence and found that hilarity these days comes in boat loads. There were not one but two threads mocking fun at Vin DiCarlo's latest newsletter.

In case you don't know Vin, he used to post on mASF as "Woodhaven" and was provided one of the most extreme cases of over-analysis I have ever seen. "Ever" in this context means: in all my life, no matter the subject. A prime example is his "escalation ladder", which is supposed to teach you how to escalate to sex and includes eye openers such as "pinching her cheek". I don't want to know how many Asperger patients run around and try to replicate Vin DiCarlo's procedure on unsuspecting women.

Anyway, not only has Vin strange ideas on how you are supposed to "escalate", he is also concerned about your overall well-being, WHICH IS WHY IN HIS LATEST NEWSLETTER, HE RECOMMENDS YOU TO NOT WORK OUT IN ORDER TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES TO GETTING LAID. This may sound like nonsense, and that's because it really is. Let's quote the first part of it (emphasis not in the original):

THE MORE TIME YOU SPEND IN THE GYM,

THE LESS TIME YOU'RE LIKELY TO SPEND WITH

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN...

Seems wrong. Seems like guys with

big muscles, pumping iron get laid all

the time...

Seems like you see them out in bars

and clubs with women hanging all over

them...

But the truth is: Some of the men with

the most in-shape bodies you've ever

seen are TERRIBLE with women.

I'VE GOT A FRIEND NAMED TYLER.First of all, the "I've got a friend X" technique is just one of the shady methods of copywriters and Internet marketers use in the hope of sounding more believable to their hopefully gullible audience. Whenever you read such a sentence, you can substitute it with "I have no idea what the f*ck I've just pulled out of my a**, but I'll just dream up a story to justify it".

This imaginary Tyler apparently got laid in high school, but once he picked up bodybuilding in college
Ta Daa!
he just can't get laid anymore, despite looking like a stud, because even though he was already "big"...

He wanted the "perfect shape."

The shape Men's Health and other

magazines say is attractive to women.

AND THE MORE HE WORKED ON HIMSELF,

THE MORE HE WORRIED THAT HE WASN'T

PERFECT.

Because even if you thought Tyler

looked great... He knew he could gain

another inch on his biceps.

He thought women noticed his shoudlers

were uneven.

He thought women knew he wasn't as

"big" as he could be.By the way, Vin, nice typo! Apart from that, if you dare to go to a club or leave the house
you will get a ton of attention if you are in shape and wear clothes that accentuate your body. Being overweight is a deal breaker par excellence and if you are obese, then it doesn't matter how confident you are. Such honesty probably wouldn't sell stuff like Vin's ebook "The Attraction Code".

Indeed, one of the absurd conclusions people reading Vin DiCarlo's newsletter are supposed to make is that "inner game" trumps everything else, including a great body, and working on a great body will only make you insecure. His imaginary friend Tyler only would have to go somewhere, and he will get attention from women. Some will even throw themselves at him. Certainly more than a guy wearing plateau shoes who is desperately trying to hide his 20 kilos of excess baggage under his shirt.

Having a great body of course doesn't mean that you have to look like Arnold in his prime. In terms of muscles "more" is not necessarily better, but in terms of body fat, "more" is always worse. The only exception I can think off is if you are anorectic, which you probably aren't. So got out and hit the gym, but at the very least lose some weight. If you like going to the gym
which I don't do either
then have a look at Scooby's Home Body Building Workouts, a great free resource, which I have already recommended some weeks ago.
