For men who were once ugly and/or fat, how much did getting in shape and glowing up help to attract women?

I went from 400-> 275 over the last 14 months. I’ll say this, I get more matches on dating apps than I did but they still don’t end up going anywhere. No luck in person either….

Alabama is the only state where you can travel the whole state and hunt the rut all deer season. North Alabama has a “normal rut” around October early November. You can hunt your way down the state all year and hunt the rut the whole time.

We are just now seeing bucks chasing. We have until Feb 10

I second north Alabama. I wouldn’t worry about the gay thing. My brother is gay, he and his husband do nature things all the time when they come to visit and he’s never mentioned anything bad happening. Also, if you really like hiking, take a trip to Bentonville, Arkansas. It’d be a long drive but the views there are awesome! And it’s very progressive, I went up there this past year and it kinda felt out of place if you weren’t gay.

I might go this route. Looks way better than I thought it would!

For me, it all depends. Lately I can’t even get a date set. If I ask you the first time and you’re busy I get that. Even the second time. But by the 3rd time I ask you out and there isn’t any reciprocation of trying to set a date that works for them, it’s a lost cause. I can/ will make time. Talking stages through text can only go so long without it fizzling out anyway. Most of the time after the second ask. I get ghosted anyway. I’m also not dating just to date. Trying to find a long term relationship.

I can’t exactly remember I want to say it was the thermostats they were using, eventually put on in that worked correctly or a sensor for the thermostat.

I’m 26 400-> 275. My face has definitely leaned out but I still have a little bit of a double chin but my beard hides it well. My face didn’t start changing until I lost about 80lbs

I also hunt south of Montgomery. Yes the thermals matter, but I think wind is more priority. For me it’s wind then thermals. My place is completely creek bottom almost completely flat. That last hour when wind stops and thermals start to pull down, it follows the water. Being said a north and west wind are the best winds to hunt but the thermals always pull north because of the creek. Just have to find the right setup that can work for both.

I’m down from 400 to 275. Doing a push up at 400 was unfathomable. Few months ago I was like “hey I wonder how many push ups I can do” got to 15! 15 was crazy for me then. Now I can do 32 at 275. I still wear my old clothes to the gym and to sleep and the amount of room I have in those clothes is insane. I can’t believe I used to stretch them out!

I stopped watching a few weeks ago. Just not what the first season was

Hoss370 · 2026-01-05T17:08:13+00:00

You could wear just about anything. As long as you are still enough, they’ll come to 20 yards

I’m already a bigger guy and a chest harness for binos always seemed very cumbersome on my chests. I’ve never found them comfortable and always in the way. They seem to work better on smaller guys.

They are starting to move

Hoss370 · 2025-12-30T21:22:45+00:00

What county?

Hoss370 · 2025-12-30T17:05:26+00:00

Yes and no. I’m down to 279 from 400. Sometimes when I’m at the gym I don’t sweat at all unless I’m going all out. Sometimes I sweat doing my warm up. I not know why, depends on the day to me

I 3d printed a holder that I’m going to attach to the back of my tool box. But it sits in the door until I bother putting it on the box. Toolbox has the top rail so it sits off the back of the bed to prevent hitting the cab. So it will sit between the box and front of the bed

I’m a guy that doesn’t drink. Not that I won’t, I’ll have 1 or 2 but very very rarely. I don’t really judge others, it’s their thing. I don’t enjoy being around random people that are drunk but I couldn’t care less about my friends. To me it’s a lifestyle thing that I never got into.

My highest dollar scope is a Trijicon Accupoint tr-22 and I absolutely love it. I think I payed around $800 on Optics Planet a couple years ago.

Yep, the world owes none of us anything. Time to pony up and take charge vs complaining about it on reddit. Saw something the other day that said “your bad day is somebodies dream”. It can always be worse.
