Being a Sunday, I’m not in the mood for anything too heavy — so let’s talk about a slightly edgy, somewhat taboo little topic.
I wonder how many people around you — yourself included — have a regular fitness habit.
If you happen to move in circles where fitness is a serious part of the culture, you’ve probably noticed something striking: not only do people in those circles tend to carry themselves with remarkable energy and vitality, but they also rarely struggle to attract the opposite sex.
Whenever someone comes to me troubled about their love life or marriage prospects because of their appearance, I always give them the same clear directive: start building a fitness habit, beginning right now.
Here’s the thing — while we are human beings, we are also, at a fundamental level, a species of biological creatures called humans.
And as biological creatures, it follows naturally that beyond financial value and intellectual value, physiological value is also a critically important dimension. In many situations, physiological value actually outweighs both financial and intellectual value.
Consider two men with roughly the same wealth and social standing: one is built with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, the other is soft, bloated, and greasy. The first will attract far more interest from women — it’s not even close.
A well-developed physique triggers something in the opposite sex at an instinctual level. It signals that this person will offer higher quality in matters of physical intimacy, and that they have the stamina to provide a deeper sense of security.
Have you noticed why women of rising social status tend to prefer powerful, muscular men over slender, boyish types? This is exactly why.
When applied to women, this dynamic becomes even more vivid and immediate.
I’ve always believed that if a woman is willing to put serious effort into her own physical training, she is essentially adding an extremely powerful trump card to her hand.
If you’re curious, find an opportunity to ask the women around you who have impressive physiques — ask them whether their romance fortune (peach blossom luck) isn’t absolutely overwhelming.
Trust me: even if their looks are only average, their peach blossom luck tends to be extraordinary. Yes, the proportion of low-quality admirers will be high too — but that’s not a problem, because you can simply turn those down. What remains is pure, usable opportunity.
The reason I’m writing about this tonight is simple: after finishing my own workout today, I saw a reader ask what was the “simplest and most effective way to improve romance fortune.”
The answer is straightforward: regardless of gender, find and adapt to some form of physical training within whatever range feels manageable for you — weightlifting, compound training, yoga, whatever works. And treat fitness as a form of cultivation practice, a way of refining yourself.
I’ve personally benefited enormously from this approach. In everyday life, there are very few things that simultaneously train your patience and deliver visible, lifelong results the way consistent training does.
Any way you look at it, that beats lying on the couch, consuming mountains of low-nutrition junk food, and arriving at your thirties or forties already soft and shapeless.
Don’t feel pressured — this is something that progresses gradually by nature. Start with light weights, then look around at people of your own gender who’ve achieved remarkable results. You’ll naturally feel something stir: Why can they do it and not me?
And then — the path of evolution begins.
