When I was 23 I used to get so much action. Back then, I barely had money to take someone have dinner on a fast food place, yet I got very lucky. Back then I was on the university’s swimming team. I used to go to the beach, show off my washboard stomach, show off my dancing pecs, I used to be able to get away with wearing speedos on the beach. I used to dance shirtless all the times at clubs, you’d never see me with a shirt on.
Today, after 2 years at my office job, I gained 50 pounds. I have a great new car, I got a house, I got expensive clothes, yet now I can’t seem to get anyone.
I’m thinking of quitting my high paying job, and take a lesser paying job that it’ll allow to swim 3-4 hours per day like I used to, so I can get my body back.
What would girls prefer, A guy with a hot body who makes 40K or fat guy who makes 100K?

stop being lazy. There is enough time to eat less and swim for 30 -60 minutes per day.

You are still really young and very LUCKY to be making that much money. The economy is not that good, so whatever you don't quit that job! That's more important in the long run! I think You'll meet better quality people down the road. They just need to get to know you. Some girls & (guys) like guys a little chunkier. I have a friend who is bigger and he has money-and he always has a girlfriend. He has one 15 yrs. younger than him now.
Could you go to the gym at lunchtime or after work, not that you need to lose weight, but that's a good way to meet people, too. Just a little walking at lunch & cutting back on the food & drinking will help over time. Be patient, and don't give up!

I don't think you need to do anything as drastic as quitting your job! Just start exercising and eating right. You dont have to work out 3-4 hours per day. That's excessive for an adult with a full time job. And you dont have to have the perfect swimmers body to be hot. A guy with a decent body----not perfect----not fat, who makes 100k is way hotter than the swimmer at 40k!

A girl is more interested in your heart. Don't worry so much about what is more sexy. Time changes everything, including our sex appeal, but a good heart is for life. When people, who think the world evolves around being sexy, become old, saggy, and droopy, they have nothing left to give. When saggy and droopy people have a good heart, they have everything to give, and everything to gain. Keep a positive attitude, stay sweet, and the right girl will come along. You only need one. One girl who is looking for the qualities that you have. Oh, as an added bonus, you might consider taking out a membership at your local gym. Exercising is good for the body, but also good for the mind. It is a natural picker-upper. Sounds like you could use one. Hope this helps.

depends on which man treats me better and whose personality I like most. but, just because you have a high paying job doesn't mean that you can't take some time out of the day, especially on days you don't work, to swim. Try swimming in combo with eating healthier. If eating healthier is a little difficult, start with having less portions of what you eat, or eliminate some of the foods high in fat, calories and look for things higher in protein, dietary fiber.
I wish you luck. email me if you need any other suggestions or anything.

don't be silly!! don't even think about quitting your job! there ARE ways you can keep fit and get in some time for swimming with your job.. try getting up an hour earlier in the morning and going for an hour's swim first thing.. going first thing is a great way to get your metabolism going for the day (as i'm sure you know) this will keep the weight down and keep you fit. you could also find some time at the weekends i'm sure... where there's a will there's a way! but i definitely think comprimising is the best solution in this case!! good luck!!

Honestly................. fat, thin, well off financially, poor....doesn't really matter. It's all in how you treat women and self confidence, which you seem to be lacking at the moment. Concentrate less on your flaws and more on your good attributes. Women can sense an insecure guy and run for the hills. Build up your self esteem (and your abs if that will make you feel better) and the rest will fall into place.

Okay don't be crazy and believe for one minute that things will change just b/c you make less money. You move forward in life not backwards. Be thankful you have a good paying job and your able to provide for yourself. The economy is so jacked up right now people are loosing there jobs and homes. Be greatful for what you have accomplished in life and for who you are. You will find someone in due time. In the meantime enjoy life, its blessings and give thanks!!!
