Has anyone else noticed this?
Since I work out and my body became more muscular it seems that women touch me more often in a casual way. What I mean by that is that the average woman, when telling something to me or pointing something out, now tends to gently touch my arm or shoulder relatively often (as if to underline what she says).
Does this purely show an increased degree of physical attraction? Because it's not only women who are potential partners but relatives, friends, strangers, old, young.
I'm just curious if this is simply "yeah, you got more muscles, women want to touch you more often. ez." or if there's more behind it.
(info: no boast intended)

Might be because you became more confident as well, nobody is going to want to touch an awkward nerd I guess. 
That's speculation, maybe they just like muscles.
|
I noticed the same. I used to be a skinny CC runner, no one touched me. Then when i got to college i got serious about hitting the gym, and two years later- girls like to touch me, and don't mind me touching them. attraction is fun, and so is noticing how shallow everyone is lol

I'll check your body later, have to touch NaDa's first.
|
Yeah, same here, my male friends was WTF man your body right now is awesome. so when they're asking for something they have a tendency of patting my ass like who Basketball jocks do and telling me that wow you have rock-solid buttocks my friend.
I can't tell you about females since I'm pretty skinny now unlike when I was 18 I worked out for 6 months.

If you change one part of you, generally, the rest will follow.
If someone who has had his face ruined for whatever reason and as a result doesn't dare to leave his house, has his brain transplanted into the body of say, someone who looks like Brad Pitt (or whatever male star women faint over these days) he would eventually change and become a more confident person because people are reacting positively towards him.

Girls really do notice when you start getting more and more buff, especially girls who you're close with. I don't know if they like it or not, but they definitely do notice, and often they'll notice it before you do for some reason.
I think having nice strong shoulders makes them want to cling on or something, and then if you have nice biceps to boot its a good bonus. Even me as a guy, when I first saw my friend reveal his muscles to me I shat bricks. Like he was a pretty nerdy white, smart, dorky guy. I knew he ran track and CC but I never thought anything of it. Then when he tried to get me into it, he showed me his muscles (this bitch was ripppped, not the little highschool boy ripped, but legitimate gangster riipppped), my jaw dropped and the only words I could utter were "I want my body to do that."
Too bad after a summer of SC2 and lazing around I seem to be putting on more pounds rather than losing them....

Definitely. I got a somewhat related story.
Was at a party in the fall playing some beer pong. Was wearing a kinda baggy long sleeve shirt because it was cold so I didn't look very ripped (not bragging). A random girl grabbed my arm around the bicep area trying to get my attention to tell me something. As she grabbed it her eyes got bigger and was like whoa didn't expect that and started feeling me up. Fast forwarding, woke up in the morning and was a happy man.
In retrospect to this thread now, I completely agree with you...girls can be superficial but I would definitely be more inclined to touch a in shape girl than a girl who could lose a roll or two.

my theory is that people are touchy but having a bad body prevents them from being touchy. once you have a good body it lets their natural touchiness come out

I think it has less with muscles and more with posture.
No one wants to touch a hunched-over nerd.

ya i recently put on 20 or so pounds of muscle over the summer and i'm getting the same thing. i act like it bugs me but really i'm like FUCK YEA
but no there's nothing more behind it. women are sluts. they want to touch.
|
I think you guys are just noticing it more and you have probably gained more confidence so you actually end up in "touchy" situations more often...
|
I agree with Tyler actually, I think they would like to touch people in general, but being frail and nerdy makes them hold it off.

The bragging in this thread.
It hurts so bad.
"Just saying, women touch me more often now that I'm mad ripped. Not bragging, just saying. You know. Women are attracted to me."

I got ripped in just 4 weeks!

make of it what you will it was a recent revelation i simply found curious, so i shared it with you guys to see if it's similar for others / find out if there's something like "yeah, psychologist a says it's because of so and so".
well, if you feel personally attacked because the topic can also be read as mad bragging i'm sorry  hope you'll get over it

8.82 posts a day? damn, that's a lot...

I've always been very tall (About 6' 4''), and very confident. People have always done this to me, including for the period of my life where I was 260+ pounds (When I first got in to Starcraft, I believe.)
It may have something to do with height, or the aforementioned confidence. Today, I still have significant blubber about me (Not fat, but not too muscularly-defined either), and I'm not exactly the most attractive thing in the world. Even still, people touch my arm or chest when they talk to me.

+ Show Spoiler +
If this, I shall fly over to your country to touch u~
OP yeah this is true... but it's not a women thing. A lot of your male friends will touch your biceps casually too, wierd.

Admittedly, I have a habit of doing that. I never thought of it that way, but I would say that I may be on the same level of attractiveness... "Fat and pokeable" Except I'm not fat anymore, so maybe people just got used to it and decided to keep doing it anyway.

Dunno it seems like every thread I read monion already has posted in it. :O
|
hrmm...this seems like an interesting theory to test.
As of now, I'm a scrawny guy who only really plays DDR for cardio exercise. I will start working out, and see the results later =P
|
If this is true, what happens when multiple buff men are near 1 woman?
Is she confused, or does she just touch both of them, and if the latter, is it consecutively or simultaneously?
Also, I'm going to start working out more seriously now, to test this...
Yeah, just for testing...
|
touching is an indicator of interest IOI. It's part of kinesthetics or Kino for short when gaming people in bars or on dates or whatever.
But it also works in other walks of life as well, for example a waiter that kneels down next to the table and takes the order at eye level and gently touches the customers on the arm with reassurance is guaranteed more tips in general.
|
Definitely a flirtation device.
|
girls like to poke me in the stomach when i wear tight shirts haha its great
|
i keep coming back to this thread looking for the brag blog application, only to leave disappointed when I see that it isn't here yet.
|
Do you really need to contemplate this? Shouldn't you just be happy and enjoy it? Who cares about the statistics.
|
I'm sure its some of your personality change too as you become more confident they're more attracted... it comes as a package
|
Ya women are stupid like headless hens. Keep at it my friend.
|
|
|
It's not as simple as being buff -> being touched, more of overall how nice guy you seem like. Of course it correlates, people who are in good healthy shape tend to give a better impression.
But it's not a guarantee, a fat or scrawny guy who bears himself comfortably and confidently should be more "touchable" to most people than some stiff steroid head.

Yeah, this is what I thought. There may be some correlation between self respect (what I think a lot of you are mistaking for confidence) and how well built one's body is. But I think girls will touch you if you are skinny and they like you.
|
True say, even if you're built you're not gonna get touched if you act like a sissy with no confidence. Average sized guys can get more attention from the ladies if he has more confidence.
|
Dude back when I worked in Best Buy on the sales floor sooo many females would do this. I'm not attractive at all, I'm a skinny nerd. But I guess I was funny or made them feel relaxed or it was their way of feeling less stressed or something, I dunno it was really weird. I used to dominate that job, sold SO much shit lol.
