- Because it's boring, stressful, exhausting and doesn't have any positive effects for many people
I spent a month lifting and excercising an hour every day. I lost about a stone, but I just hated it, I hated the diet, and I hated having to drag myself away from whatever I was doing.
You lost a stone?
Were you trying to lose weight and keep any (little) muscle mass you had?
Because you seem to think that when girls lift weights, they end up looking like this:
When actually the average female who lifts weights regularly will end up looking something like this (she's a figure competitor):
And I'm sure we can all agree the girl in the second photo looks great[/QUOTE I'm fully aware that when women lift they don't get huge they get that "toned" look, but I personally don't like it. I think it looks hard and masculine. I can understand that some people are into that though
Personally I prefer intelligent over gym-inclined, any day. The second girl reminds me of one of those beach-bunnies from Baywatch that couldn't spell their own name and although that's really shallow and aesthetic, isn't having a career based on the chance genetics that land a person in the physical circumstances they are in kinda shallow and aesthetic?
I find people attractive who say something I've not heard before, or who do interesting things and stand out of stereotype. I couldn't care less whether they work out or not.

It's funny how you think gym-inclined and intelligence are mutually exclusive.
Edited; see above. I followed exactly the same schedule as my Dad - the difference being that he loved it and continues to do it, and I hated and won't be doing it again.
You lost a stone, so it did have a positive effect. If you felt it wasn't worth it that's one thing, but saying it doesn't have any benefits is another

Your prejudices and stereotypes don't determine whether someone is intelligent or not. Crawl back under your rock.
Being in shape and being strong makes my job easier. Its something to do, that doesnt involve drink or drugs. I can eat pretty much what i want and as much of it, i look better for it, and feel better for it.
Why wouldn't people lift weights is a far more perplexing question
-Takes at max 1 hour per day, and is great stress relief -Allows you to eat a ****load of food and not get fat -Various health benefits -Gets you physically strong -Makes you look much better, for both guys (obviously) and even for women (squats = win)

Prize for the most irrelevant post of the week
The biggest guys I know in real life all study top degrees and are doing brilliant for themselves
I didn't realise taking an hour out of your day to do something beneficial will leave you a slobbering, drooling gym rat
Nobody wants to admit to finding the geeky awkward guy/girl insanely hot because wider society is a judgemental idiot that doesn't have the first idea what individuals are all about.
No, geeky, awkward, out-of-shape people are just unattractive. There's no facade, you're just deluded.
I guarantee if you built some muscle and learnt to be sociable you would stop feeling so bitter and insecure.
