posted on: mASF forum: General Discussion newsgroup, November 11, 2003One thing that being buff does help with is self-esteem in clubs, mainly when
confronted with AMOGs. If you're tall and well built, few guys will try to
interfere with your game. I guess you can't do anything about height, but
putting on some muscle will at least make you physically attractive. I
personally noticed a lot of difference, back 6 years ago when I started
lifting. Chicks really dig the pecs :)
