If your objective for working out includes at all looking good for women it means you're still wrapped up in seeking female validation. I've always maintained that I'd rather be strong than look strong. As a mgtow with gym equipment at home (treadmill, punching bag, and all) I work out mainly for health and any potential situation where I'd have to defend myself. Men like myself are privy to threats and subtle abuse and disrespect mainly because of our chosen lifestyle. I've taken measures to make sure I'm not to be fucked with on any level. I leave you alone, please leave me alone. I want no trouble unless it's brought to me, then I want all the smokes. Beyond that it's all peacocking.

I admit that I am wrong here. On the other-hand, I have dealt with a lot of people who say I am PUA. You can get married out here if you find a decent one. Your odds are better but still less than satisfactory. I am used to getting a few sni remarks from MGTOWS. I am more redpill, but subscribe to MGTOW as well.
Respectfully Sexpat, you should realise women in South-East Asia are only that way because white men tend to be perceived as higher in status, and tend to be taller and wealthier that local men, thus automatically ranking higher up the SMV chart. Also some women may covet the idea of marrying to get foreign citizenship, and thus may be prepared to behave a certain way and put on an act until they get what they want. I've heard from many men who brought home a supposed demure and feminine South-East Asian girl, only to have the mask come off and they get taken to the cleaners.
That said, I'd like to touch on your reply to Hedon:
There is something to be said for looking strong outside of mere peacocking.
When bullies or robbers prey on people, they often judge superficially and a guy with wirey muscles (eg. think of rock climbers who have tremendous grip strength and are able to pull-up several times their body weight) may be physically very strong, but not look the part, and hence they may get picked on more than a physically weaker guy who appears swole/buff.
Clothes also look, fit and hang better when one is in good shape, which can help in smoothing social interactions at the office and at work, which helps get work done, which translates to higher pay and bonuses - and that is always a good thing.
I don't think you're wrong. I believe you're coming from the perspective of MGTOWs who have not gone completely monk; those who still enjoy engaging in the pump (and dump) while not committing to a relationship - and for those MGTOWs, let's not pretend that looking strong to tickle women's hindbrains also helps to facilitate one's odds of getting laid - it's a valid MGTOW consideration until one goes full monk mode.
